Title: NSA Sees Bitcoin Post by: kache2018 on March 21, 2018, 05:52:13 PM There was an article I've read that the National Security Agency (NSA) were able to obtain some data of bitcoin users including their passwords. On my own perspective, Isn't NSA under the jurisdiction of a government? Is it possible that they can intervene with the users authentic and highly sophisticated blockchain?
With all due respect, does the anonymity bitcoin being intrude already?

I am sure that they are required to work within what's legally allowed, but I very much doubt they even pay attention to that.
What the outside world doesn't know can't harm the NSA, but even if the outside world did know about their practices, does anyone here even for a second believe they care about what we say and think? Definitely not. I am sure that every laptop, smartphone, hardware wallet, and the list goes on, contains an open entry point for all kinds of agencies. Occasionally things leak out, but it's not doing anything. The only thing we hear is that the manufacturers will 'solve' things with a firmware upgrade. It doesn't change anything. Title: Re: NSA Sees Bitcoin Post by: nedeken01 on March 24, 2018, 06:40:20 PM This is quite shocking that NAS is trying to hack bitcoin sites. Measurable steps should be taken against them as you cannot access to it without their permission.

I am sure that they are required to work within what's legally allowed, but I very much doubt they even pay attention to that. Not necessarily. NSA might be able to get supposed access but some times, smart people will allow any one to get access to their private network. There's an exception to almost everything.What the outside world doesn't know can't harm the NSA, but even if the outside world did know about their practices, does anyone here even for a second believe they care about what we say and think?

On my own perspective, Isn't NSA under the jurisdiction of a government? Is it possible that they can intervene with the users authentic and highly sophisticated blockchain? Get access to the blockchain? That's not possible. Had it been possible, NSA would have already got their hands dirty. So don't worry about blockchain getting mishandled or manipulated. What you have to worry is keeping your password secure and impossible to crack. You need to possibly use every single way to keep yourself anonymous. With all due respect, does the anonymity bitcoin being intrude already? Bitcoin won't save your ass, you have to make necessary changes to make yourself anonymous. Stop blaming bitcoin. Title: Re: NSA Sees Bitcoin Post by: ManaMan on March 24, 2018, 07:36:31 PM You mean NSA be like?

Well they are the ones who ask for exploits to be made in the first place, specially from the news regarding spectre and the meltdown we can see what potentially can be done when our hardware is not working for us and you certanly don't want to create special hardware for yourself.The only thing we hear is that the manufacturers will 'solve' things with a firmware upgrade.

And what exactly is your suggestion? Do you even know that you can't do anything about it, try to sue them and see how it work out, come and tell us?

Rules don’t apply, silly rabbits. BTC and anonymity. My head still hurts everytime I hear that oxymoron. Title: Re: NSA Sees Bitcoin Post by: Vlad2Vlad on March 24, 2018, 08:33:59 PM NSA has the authority to oversee the things of people. But I don't believe that they would see the passwords. Because in bitcoin, everything are recorded in the encrypted mode. So its not easy to crack. Yes, 9 years to crack it and/or Code some backdoors is not enough time for the NSA. ::) Title: Re: NSA Sees Bitcoin Post by: Vlad2Vlad on March 24, 2018, 08:35:04 PM This is quite shocking that NAS is trying to hack bitcoin sites.
