@mrd9 use the ethereum blockchain to process payments if you're planning on fighting against patreon too. make your own currency people can purchase like tokens to spend on their favorite streamers. fully decentralized and secure but can be kept anonymous.

nice. just got involved a little bit ago. gonna build a rig here soon so i can mine as much as i can before they go to PoS

definitely.

damn. you the one who paid a shit ton of BTC for pizza delivery? lol

essentially a set of transactions showing transfer of BTC from one wallet address to another.

also blockgeeks.com/guides has some good articles that explain stuff.

completely legal

voting, banking, any sort of contract

fiat

like the car

it means it's backed by government

the government says it has worth, so it does

instead of it being a commidty currency, which means it's backed by gold or silver.

no it's taxed

the fuckers

it's taxed like stocks

yeah. you can be anonymous when using it, but it takes work.

it's essentially an interesting experiment in economic theory

only use an address for one transaction

yeah Tor is compromised and the government would rather let a pedo go than tell us how they did it.

TAILS is dope. never played with it but it looks interesting.

Tor

it's still okay to use if you want to stay anonymous from ad trackers and shit like that.

just maybe not for dodging state sponsored surveillance

you used keybase at all?

and not logging.

don't use a VPN in the states.

correction. don't use a VPN based in the states and don't use servers based in the states.

keybase is sweet. they need to work on the speed of their stuff though. can get bogged down sometimes.

i think hong kong is okay too.

yeah. sends the request to that server and then that server sends the request on your behalf

so the place you're getting the otrrent from only sees the VPN server, not you.

i have heard that isn't as effective as you would think though. i read somewhere multiple connections aren't any more effective than just using one.

although i believe everything i read on the internet.

@Gerry yes

hows ssh'ing into a server and requesting from there any different than proxying a request through a VPN in Switerland.

well i agree that it's much more secure to do things that way, but does it improve anonymity?

paper wallets?

damn that's hardcore.

you write that shit down, right? can't trust the printers!

yeah i don't have enough in ethereum for it to be worthwhile but in the future i'm gonna have to figure out better ways to store my ether.

it may be tinfoil, but at least it's safe.

plus that's alot of money i'm assuming you have if you got in that early

i'd probably go that way. i'd be afraid i'd write the wrong address down. one character wrong.

damn. that high?!

yeah. better hold onto that.

i have been hearing they are going to fork the bitcoin blockchain. i wonder how that will affect the price.

@Picassoツ it's not that hard to increase your privacy. it takes a little work, but it will help prevent our society from going any further toward 1984

blonde is intimidating him.

god dammit. unstoppable will live forever.

dude. i would love if he was on the show.

how does someone get on that sweet patreon supporter list on the right?

did it.

dope. thanks.

yeah i don't like the power of "i say you have to do this thing because i said or you go to jail."

got a link?

sorry. that was my bad. i asked for it.
