Nice to see you are thinking out the box and passing it around.

Telegram is crap and they want my phone number to send me a pin-code which is nothing about my privacy plus
it has become clear that Russia wants the keys or they will ban Telegram because other governments are already
being given access to these so called "End to end keys"

I am working on a network that is decentralized and truly end to end encryption using Secp256 on the network that
provides SOCK4/5 interfaces if your interested in writing the message app and don't want to get involved in node discovery


Why would anyone want to pay and this leaves a digital paper trail anyway

 

You what !!!

Block-chain is much more suited to keeping public records out in the open than being used as a currency any day of the week
and centralized chains can provide a fantastic amount of speed at the head of the chain which could then be replicated with time
lag to ensure "Yes" votes don't get turned to "No" votes hours later.

The data structure stores anything and you could even use SHAL that point to documents (Database blobs in other words)

Sorry but I cannot agree with you here.

Well you need lots of BTC to run a Lightning banking hub so that's PoS plus
skills to gain an advantage using that protocol that won't be available to common users
and big hardware to run these hubs so that will be the miners then.

Thing is would it be fair to call it proof of anything since it's all gone "off-Block" and is about
related to "Block-Chain" as it is for me when I eat a burger and the environmental implications.

Proof is just a fancy bit of words smith to avoid the term "Trust" anyway.

You don't because it has turned into a remote terminal for the CIA/NSA.

Developers are being locked out of windows all over the place and not only are parts of the
registry locked (if you can traverse 400,000 key, 12 levels deep) but we cannot even delete
some of the hidden files (Index.dat) even when we know where to find them.

Shit i got this new "People" program forced on me and I cannot even stop, let alone un-install the thing
without reverting to some serious hack tricks.

Linux Mint is my advise but I cannot join you, to well versed in windows to jump ship myself.

The toast wallet for android is the one I use and I like the speed, price and easy to understand
transaction data Ripple provides but the price dropped like a stone after I brought a few.

Yes it might be semi-centralized but BTC Lightning banking hubs are ten times worse and I think
having someone to help beginners on the end of a phone is a big plus for Ripple so I have no
complaints about my gamble   

Takes years to develop a new coin and that's using a team of developers so looks like you want to do yet
another Bitcoin clone or just want someone to write free ETH contracts for you.

ICO number 67,890 is not the road you should be traveling and we already have a currency to buy
green frogs with yellow spots and really don't need more fly by nights.
 

Sure if you like paying 0.65% per transaction fees to the banking hubs to play ping pong and we know from fees
on BTC that these fees can rise from $0.001 to $55 per transaction.

I get free home banking for fiat and other alt-coins are much cheaper to use and are "on-block" and I won't be using
Lightning any time soon.

Tails uses a firefox based browser and they are just as bad as Microsoft or Google which you would know if you ran stuff like
wire-shark or peeked inside the Dll's and did a search for all the URL's

Tor has become a let-down, too slow and too few CIA/NSA exit nodes which are all well know addresses and don't even get me started
about WannaCry viruses coming out the Tor client software and NOT some browser exploit.

I was ruining a dedicated machine that was scraping the internet for about a year using Tor's Vidalia and didn't open browsers on the
machine (Only IE10 installed) and guess what this machine picked up and yes my routers firewall was well setup both inbound and outbound?

Yes agree 100%, Microsoft's black box API's are steeling any data they can get and this is why your CPU keeps
going crazy and yet windows task manager makes out that nothing is going on.

Do not trust Netstat or program calls into windows to return a task list of processes because they both lie and this comes on top
of all the back doors built into Intel Chips, You are now the product when using a "Personal PC"

I am developing a highly secure network that uses Secp256 for encryption and the main interface into the network uses
SOCK4/5 to act as a proxy stub.

Browser ---HTTP/SOCK4-5--->Local Node----------->Remote Node--------->Internet
or
Internet (Port forward)--->Local Node-------->Internet

Much like bitcoin the network is decentralized and down the road it will provide file-shares, Tor type .onion sites with
redundancy and a message service with end to end encryption without the bullshit we are getting from Telegram and WhatsApp

Now lots of people want free file sharing and private secure VPN services but few of them would want to port forward services
in the routers firewall or even understand how to do this so my proposal is that if miners will host some network nodes and then in return
the client nodes could provide mining services since some channels are bidirectional so in effect mining requests can be pushed to
client nodes.

Browser ---HTTP/SOCK4-5--->Local Node----------->Mining Node--------->Internet
                                            Local Node<----------<Mining Node<------Sock4/5-------<SHAL256
Unfortunately the software is under development and has not been ported to Linux and will need hosting
on windows based platforms so miners will need a windows machine on the LAN but after that it's just a
question of using web-sockets for an interface into the network.

I don't know if a protocol already exists that works with SOCK4/5 for mining but I am sure it can be done without having to
hijack peoples machines so maybe someone here can fill in the missing blanks for me.

Yes I panic sold at $18k and never looked back but a few percent back up and you have to shoot off
about it.


Catch you when it's below $5k and then lets see who's so smart.

I am looking at the address being your public key address, not email, not phone number or IP and spammers
would be free to create a million addresses on the fly to send spam so thanks for bringing this up because one
way or another I am going have to deal with this but i don't think there is going to be a perfect solution in anything
that is remotely decentralized and even with semi-trusted node clusters it's not going to be a easy one to solve.

So far i have got distributed node discovery working but without mega big servers it's not going to scale to
more than a few hundred million nodes and VPN type SOCK4/5 working but the encryption after the handshake is
useless and then I need file shares and super secure private messages to work on this network.

Bridge too far for one man to do on his own, could do with some help!

  

This is whats wrong, distributed in this case is just replication of 220GB of data across 20,000 miners and it won't scale
ever and they knew this from day one and are now trying to bodge the job with off-block lightning network ledgers using banking hubs.

Large scaleable systems need some order (mining pools as an example) because every node for itself DOES NOT WORK

Yes i am getting that and sending a key  and vi to a windows machine and then using Microsoft
black box code to decrypt the messages is not the route I will be taking but it looks like that is
what everyone else is doing.

Secp256k1 is second to none and you can make your own keys without having to trust anyone
but it's only good for 512 bytes and i need a bit more size than that but i can tell you now that I don't
need your phone number, credit card details to do this.

So you download the app and it wants full permissions to everything on your phone
and then they want you to provide a phone number and do phone verification (that did not work)

How is this supposed to be protecting my privacy or security and I am also picking up from the
Russia debate that keys are released to some governments but not others and why are all messages by default
not using end to end encryption.

I am well un impressed and was it to be built well and to be decentralized then no one would give a flying fart
about Russia trying to block the service or anyone else so it look like if you want a job done right then best do it
yourself.

I was thinking about linking the network I am working on to "Telegram" but it seems that it cannot meet the basic
requirements or being anonymous if it's tied to a phone number so what other networks (if any) should I take a peek at.

The mejia is not saying much in the news today but we are right on the edge and Corbyn has demanded on
a vote before T-May starts any military action in Syria without MP's approval.

We are being feed one false flag after another these days and they will be coming for our kitchen knifes soon
and if you think that could never happen then you are already behind on current events.

See RT.com for a peek into what they don't want you to know about.

As a software developer I can tell you that none of the called into the windows API used for encryption can be trusted
and everything from task manager to Netstat is only presenting half the data that is available.

Windows 10 has become a remote terminal for the CIA/NSA, trust windows for nothing apart from copying, encrypting and
uploading anything about you that it finds interesting.

TPS is down to the architecture and both Bitcoin and ETH rely on replication and are NOT cases of Distributed Network Architecture (DNA)
which means that they simply won't scale as was known eight years ago.

Fundamentally it becomes a singleton because only one head of the chain counts, it's 2D and not 3D if that helps.

EVO and a few others say they have it cracked and this work has been peer revived (That can be fixed) so for now
I take them at their word but to truly scale on-block you have got to accept some form of centralization even if it's just a
cluster of trusted nodes which kind of works with DNS anyway, start blocking, we start leaving

No i am not Mr Words Smith


Yes it does, miners who will be running the LN banking nodes have broken the trust, trust that is now called into question and only a fool
would want to forget history.


I have addressed this in detail already, read what i am saying, stop rewording it, gets boring it does.


Give over, everyone knows that in late December you paid $30 or more or your money went walk about so yes it was "Demanded"
and words smith won't change it.

No it's not, same people running it, same monopoly but the plan is more of a divide and conquer and I am dammed if I will pay
0.6% to send $1000 across the wire when my fiat bank will do it for free and other alt-coins will do it for next to nothing.  



Again I addressed this, see comments about competition not working in the past and stop repeating the same answer.


I am guessing you did not read or understand the LN white paper, try doing a word count on the term "Fee" because it pops up
45 times, ask mum to help if needs be will you and read the thing.

Lets have facts and for fiction stories we have already been feed the tripe about Bob buying a cup of Coffey from Alice
28 times in a month but it's obvious from the network map (I KEEP SENDING YOU) it is not Bob and Alice banking by any means.

VISA and Ripple have backup systems, replicated servers, Lightning hubs have nothing so what was you saying about apples and oranges
again.


Maybe hope for you yet.
