I'm shocked they didn't have a killswitch or automated stop-loss of some kind. A script that says "We just lost $5M in a few minutes; maybe there's a problem." Or, a guy paid minimum wage to watch the balance, with

Bitmessage isn't blockchain based. Bitmessage, at the moment, is entirely separate from Bitcoin. While in Bitcoin, every full node has a complete transaction history since the network's inception, Bitmessage nodes simply hold ever

What about launching a probe that echoes any signals it gets? If it were sufficiently far away, one could send it the private key and destroy the local copy. Nobody's going to leave from Earth (or wherever) and catch up to your private

To launch applications or execute commands, you first type them somewhere (anywhere, it doesn’t matter), and then middle-click them Has anyone used this extensively? I'm extremely skeptical about the cost of switching from keyboard t

There was also someone who deanonymized some bitmessage users' disposable identities: those who copy-pasted a link (that the client prevented them from clicking on) to a website they'd never visited before from a random user wit

Another option is to run an amnesiac OS on a material that is not re-writable (CD-R). Note this would replace the VM, not the separate Tor machine.

I think the point is the nonlinearity of speed as a function of the number of cars, i.e., "Charging for something reduced use by 20%, and overuse-related problems by 95%" "WOW! Why don't more people do that?"

The dev team would love if you know someone with expertise and a bit of time to spare. We make no claims of perfection or even safety at this point. From the homepage: Bitmessage is in need of an independent audit to verify its security.

I saw nothing but a picture of an RSS icon, and thought that was the joke: you can "follow" people by subscribing to their RSS feeds, and RSS already exists.

Go ask someone running Ubuntu to recompile their kernel. 5 bucks says they don't know how. Hence, it would be inconceivable to them that everyone did it back in the day.

It's similar to changing your ssh port: does it provide "real" security? No. Does it prevent the majority of automated attacks? Absolutely. As a real world analogy, what about easily-climbable fences? Those are often a useful
