   Yeah, that's my major worry too. I am 95% sure that I never sent them a passport scan. I remember getting as far as scanning it into my computer before my "what-the-fuck-am-I-about-to-do-ometer" went haywire. But it was a lon

   Replying again to say that I am extremely touched by both donations that I received, and I have sent them on to the address being used to gather funds by the bitcoin community as an apology to Dorian Nakamoto. http://www.reddit.c

   Thanks, I really appreciate it! Judging by the timing of your comment I think you are 1AdNb. It looks like your wallet does it properly, using different addresses all the time.

    It depends how you use your bitcoin addresses. If you're lazy like me and reuse your bitcoin address for multiple transactions then yes. Let's walk through this with one of my wallet addresses. https://blockchain.info&#

    The London train bombings were nothing in comparison to the years of IRA terrorism that London suffered. The argument that "these are strange times and require a new class of countermeasures" is exactly the lie they want to sell y

    I wonder if having the webcam always on but piping to /dev/null would prevent a trojan from accessing it... I also wonder if plugging a 3rd party mic into line-in and switching it off would have a similar effect for the mic. You c

    The mic issue is actually more worrying, but as you point out, there aren't such easy solutions.

    This is why I have a piece of cardboard hanging over my webcam. That would have seemed extremely paranoid last year.

    Again, that's just making fun of the way the press misrepresent bitcoin. In fact, the fact that these 'critiques' don't actually apply to central banking is what makes this piece so funny .

    Yes, doesn't have to be a nearby router though. The point is: your device broadcasts the names of all routers it's connected to. You just need to listen, then spoof the name, then the device will connect to you. If the target devi
