The US Attorney Press release puts it nice: "SHREM, who personally bought drugs on Silk Road, was fully aware that Silk Road was a drug-trafficking website, and through his communications with FAIELLA, SHREM also knew that FAIELLA was

I2P is slow, it has no incentive system like T4T. Try installing it, search for files and watch download speeds. Onion routing and tunnels cost bandwidth. The crowd that is used to Bittorrent speeds (in combo with VPN safety) is not interes

Indeed, we should not roll over and declare privacy an illusion. A lot of people are experimenting with designs that will never work. It's just wasting programming resources, while projects like Tor starve for volunteers. My research t

Please consider this a security review by a tenured P2P professor: The whitepaper describes a simple and focused system relying on partitioning in an attempt to preserve scalability. Bitmessage has many architectural similarities to Usenet

Their internal cryptocurrency for P2P is not far fetched. In fact, something similar has been deployed by scientists and used on small scale since 2007: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=666351..

The architecture is also fundamentally flawed. How many people want to be the SysAdmin for all 2.0 services for their entire extended family? We need self-organizing systems, not federation.

Silk Road is a few pennies and few gram transactions. [See the data here http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7139 ] It would be foolish to expose their snooping capabilities for this, right? Wow, Tor is not considered safe... Ama

TCP simultaneous open is very difficult to use. In our experience with a deployed P2P system, UDP hole punching is more successful with all the strange NAT boxes deployed. Our success rate is 95.3% now in the wild. As said above, this TCP

> Snowden is really a bellwether event. Why would Obama sanction deeply-embarrassing revelations and expose the staggering depth of warrantless spying?

by synctext 13y ago
Why is this trip of Snowden made into a media event? The Aeroflot flight number was public! Is this to counter a secret rendition attempt? Did we wake-up in a world with 007 stuff happening to real computer nerds, not just high-paid actors?
