I agree about the risk. But we're drifting in a direction where that risk is becoming lesser and lesser. Most users simply couldn't give a crap and we're gonna pay for the loss of accountability at some point

Yeah further proof for google that being sneaky Gets Shit Done. We collectively need to factor this into our product choices and stop encouraging the sneakiest of them all.

You can make the same point about germany's return to stability in the 30's (goodwin point yay), but I'm not sure you'd want to. Careful what you wish for, in terms of government efficiency

I think you're vastly overestimating how complicated it is to do what I'm talking about at scale, but whatever.

Does ECHELON ring a bell to you? I don't believe every computing device ever is exfilling the amount of data you describe, but I'd be very very surprised if it weren't an option for nation level actors at the flick of a switc

Faulty assumption. I don't need to pay attention to the tubes if I can look in on your terminal.

Identity and the means to establish identity are the same thing as far as anyone is concerned in the current US model though

The point is they're not stealing my identity from me, but from a third party. Why should I be on the hook for the consequences of someone else's negligence?

Provided you're rich enough to bankroll the judiciary action and the adverserial shakedowns. Which would also typically mean you don't care that much about the outcome of the trial, if you've got that much cash to throw aroun

Name one other platform/deploy target that is as centralised on the vendor side, even though everyone calls it "open"

I was just asking for an opinion from someone in that camp. Your answer does not give faith in your business practices, as a client or as an investor. I suggest you work on communication, even with strangers on the internet.

In theory indeed. In practice there's 3 vendors and the standard defining organisation represents commercial interests in the platform, not you.

Well in a sense it's quite freudian: you gotta feel the (unrealised value of the) bitcoin leaving you for it to be universally recognised as "having value"

You're gonna have to explain why one would feel negatively about public disclosure.

I don't understand how the issue you're describing is specific to bitcoin. Consider that wealth in the real world also accumulates in a non gaussian distribution.

I seem to remember that the Cannabis industry in the US was having difficulty establishing banking relations with reputable firms. They could be a good start for this project to see usage given the open source philosophy that might resonate

> Not sure if anyone has documented doing this, seems like it would defeat the purpose for anyone with a practical need for it. Indeed! I was hoping for a collection of methods, maybe some form of best practices regarding anti-tampering.

Yeah if you're looking for easy and risk free, yiu should stay with windows or mac. OTOH, if you want linux to stop being a black box, install arch. Just don't expect it to be your stable day to day workhorse with no effort.
