Most cryptocurrency activity occurs outside of the USA, is it any surprise that an American created stablecoin with severe risks due to its American ties is frowned upon by those trading cryptocurrencies? Avoiding the regulatory hell of Ame

This generates a lot of additional questions. What about a multisig situation? Can I have a buddy withhold a digital signature until I want to transact so that I did not own the crypto up until the transaction? Add in multiple jurisdictions

Without a legal definition of cryptocurrency ownership there is no way to interpret this guidance. I may assert that I own the private key which can transact on the Bitcoin blockchain but also assert that I do not own the exact same private

I find it quite funny that the judge donated to Elizabeth Warren in 2012, a candidate who infamously listed herself as Native American on her Harvard affirmative action forms. The solution is clear. Just lie about your race.

"However, realizing the full promise of quantum computing (e.g. Shor’s algorithm for factoring) still requires technical leaps to engineer fault-tolerant logical qubits" This is NOT how the media has chosen to report on this. It&#

I have no doubt that Bitcoin will end someday, most likely from QC breaking ECDSA, but this is perhaps the most illiterate and uninformed takedown I have ever read on the subject.

Wrong due to P2PK transactions. But also no matter which hash you use as an address the person has to reveal their public key in a digital signature to transact the coins, and if an individual has access to a quantum computer which solves t

You caught me. But it is bewildering that somebody in his questionable legal circumstances would willingly visit the USA. Most of the other people who run sites like 8chan relocate to obscure regions with no extradition.

Doesn't the guy who runs it live in the Philippines? Is the USA playing Team America: World Police or do they have jurisdiction?

As bad as the content on 8chan is, it is deeply distressing how Cloudflare has attached itself to the internet as what amounts to a mafia organization collecting protection money. Almost all the non-deep web tools to abuse sites are behind

The designers of CORS kept the previous security for certain types of POST requests because they are basically equivalent to how forms work, which operate at a much worse security standard and are a source of a great number of CSRF problems

The CFAA is arbitrarily enforced and it is impossible to know if you are safe legally. People in this thread are saying that publicly accessible data is safe to scrape but that certainly wasn't the case in United States v. Andrew Auern

So if cryptocurrency is taxed on capital gains, and this is a stablecoin, can they buy their own currency in whatever tax haven they are storing money in now with money they want to repatriate to the USA, then sell the coin in the USA and p

Could this whole project be a tax play? Many jurisdictions don't tax cryptocurrency until sale where capital gains applies, some don't tax at all. It is very convenient for tax purposes for a corporation to have a currency that ex

Considering that religious speech and the guiding religious books are often completely intolerant of all other views of the world and can thus be considered extremist, it would appear that such an agreement could ironically cause the censor

Many of the services which could be accessible from those devices are American services with data residing on American servers. I wonder if it is possible to use hacking laws as a means of dissuading border agents from looking at devices. A
