Title: Encryption on cryptoforum Post by: mvag on November 24, 2013, 10:40:11 PM What do we really know about bitcointalk? What are the chances it's a honeypot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_(computing))?
Even if we trust the people that run it today, can we be sure they keep controlling it in the future? I see a lot of private financial information disclosed on this forum, both on- (giveaways, donations, trading bragging) and behind-the-scenes (logged IP addresses, account emails, stored private messages). If or when your %encrypted%coins turn very very valuable, some N-word (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency) folks might become pretty curious. I'm not saying we're doing anything illegal now, I'm just worried of possible future interpretations. You may call me paranoid of course... but I think the least we can do to improve our chances is to access this site anonymously. Hence the poll. |
