I don't think it's comparable to a VPS. Going through 5 VPSes you can be attacked by timing measurements. Having your wallet passively shuffle coins with thousands of other wallets ..
Not VPS, VPN. We’re talking about two very different things that are used for entirely different reasons.
Feds aren’t looking for an exact match, just enough for probable cause. You put coins in, and the second they match you to any coins out that’s enough.
who is easier to trace on bitcoin?
- 10 politicians by 10 million people
- 10M people by 10 politicians
One is easy to trace, the other impossible
Bitcoin is designed to make governments transparent and people private
Every Bitcoin transaction is traceable back to its coinbase origin. Do not mistake signal-to-noise ratio with anonymity.
true. would it be an issue if we knew wikileaks' bitcoin address? they have an address to receive donations. or were you referencing a different issue?
Posting information to the blockchain. You should read up on some of the spy fails (like, real intelligence/counterintelligence). Fascinating how they get caught by the simplest things
could always mix transactions maybe? or convert between multiple transactions on through privacy coins?
Even with a mixing service, the target put coins in and received coins out. That’s enough to flag it as probable. Not looking for a smoking gun, just a correlation to lead you there.
here there’s just bickering about the same few topics, conspiracy theories & twitter spam. How is memo unique & how can these differences be exploited to make original content unique to memo?
We need an ignore person/topic feature. I'm here to talk tech and crypto but see very little of it.
Why is The Dark Overlord (fake or not) posting decryption keys on twitter instead of here? https://gizmodo.com/twitter-moves-to-stop-spread-of-hacked-9-11-lawsuit-fil-1831446081
You should tell them that. Also, use a VPN before TOR while sending random data in/out to prevent correlation between a monitored connection & TOR exit node.
I'm sorry - I'm not as good at coding as I'd like to be -- what specifically are you joking about?; or, is it the structure of it?
Anything you'd recommend for getting better?
That’s the part of the code that sends the password as MD5.
