I see you are targeted to just barking around and making ridiculous statements, without backing them up by anything.


Well, dear Newslleter except ScamVirus and sashan, they are all your friends with whom you are praising each other, every time you have an opportunity. And that's a fact, public on the forum.

Obviously, we are a gang.

How can you lie it was not your business, when your account is named after it?

Please explain what business I ever made on the name of Gazeta Bitcoin (the website) on the forum. Please also explain what business I ever made with the website outside the forum. And please explain what's the connection, inside your orangutan brain, between having this name on the forum and performing any business here in the name of Gazeta Bitcoin website.

Quoted for refference.

Gawd, you are way more idiot that I ever believed...

I am amazed that you broke your pattern after I posted about it! Congrats. You did not waited 24 hours to reply to my thread! Nice! I wonder if you will keep doing that and just reply more. Please, do it!

I told you, I am doing all I can.

Ah, I know why you are still a virgin , because prostitution is illegal in Romania! Great! Amazing citizen! What a failure! The babooin is respecting the law, congrats again NewsletterBitcoin

And yet more words of wisdom coming from the scammer.

Aici cred ca nu ne-am inteles... ma refeream ca fiul sau nepotul gradinarului sa ajuinga sa fie interesta de bitcoin ca investitie si sa-si convinga bunicul sa accepte si el bitcoin, respectiv sa lucreze si el si cu bitcoin...

Intelesesem ce spui Smiley Eu insa am mers cu gandul un pic mai (prea?) departe. In sensul ca, daca tot nu reusim noi sa il convingem pe gradinar sa se uite la bitcoin, sper ca macar cei din generatia urmatoare sa apuce aceste momente, sa se poata bucura de ele. Si, din pacate, pentru noi, pentru generatia noastra, pare dificil sa reusim. Cel putin, in ultimii 13 ani nu am reusit. Sau am reusit prea putin pentru a conta cu adevarat. Cine stie de cate zeci de ani va mai fi nevoie pentru a reusi...?

Nu cred ca e nevoie. Dupa cum ai zis si tu, imparatul e gol!



Vezi ca ai facut ceva gresit la textul si linkul de acolo.

Uh-huh... merci frumos pentru atragerea atentiei. Gata, am fixat problema Smiley

Aveti mare grija la acest site MonyCryp.com este SCAM si nu incercati sa depuneti bani eu am fost inselat azi.

Imi pare foarte rau sa aud de pierderea suferita. Ce nu inteleg eu este ce a fost in mintea ta sa apelezi la un exchange centralizat? Nu ai deloc experienta in crypto...? Nu ai studiat deloc ce presupun aceste capuse ale lumii crypto, numite exchange-uri centralizate?


Nu stiai de regula "nu detii cheile private = nu detii monedele?" (regula dovedita si in instanta, de altfel). Nu stiai ca aceste exchange-uri pot fi sparte de hackeri? Ca iti pot bloca banii dupa bunul plac? Ca iti pot fura hackerii datele personale de la exchange-uri, pentru a le vinde apoi pe dark web, de unde le cumpara infractorii care apoi iti pot sparge casa? Nu stiai ca pot fugi cu banii clientilor? Ca te predau pe mana autoritatilor? Ca iti pot vinde datele personale, asa cum a facut-o Coinbase? Nu stiai ca procesul KYC este unul deosebit de periculos pentru tine? Nu stiai ca datele personale odata dezvaluite nu mai sunt personale...?

Daca nu stiai aceste lucruri, foarte rau. Daca le stiai dar le-ai ignorat este si mai rau.

Nu mi-o lua in nume de rau. Sper insa ca dupa ceea ce ai patit, sa folosesti Bitcoin asa cum a fost el conceput: in mod anonim, peer-to-peer si excluzand intermediarii. Iata ce se poate intampla folosind Bitcoin impotriva firii, impotriva scopului pentru care el a fost creat.
1744  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful with saxydev; he is a scammer on: February 10, 2023, 05:51:53 PM
It's not even quality, it is not the product we've been talking about. The product he sent I posted in a post previous to his that can be found online, not accurate or scams. So not what we've been talking.

Considering that the flag against you was supported by multiple users with experience and reputation on the forum, this means they do not agree with the buzz words you're saying for trying to get away with this.

And ya, you are definetly a spammer. You are bumping the thread at exactly same hours

Please allow me to laugh some more. You are so ridiculous that "ridiculous" is not enough term for what you say.

after a big gap difference between posts just to keep an attention to you.

I told you before: I am simply replying to your imbecilities. And, as I also said before, the attention is kept on you, not on me.

Being an active member is different than being a piece of shit baboon compilation to the forum.

I believe this was meant to be another proof of how well educated you are.

Making translation, not having anything original

Of course, having a honest job is not something which can be part of your peanut brain of a thief, which is only busy with thinking how to scam more people.

failing in everything

I don't know what you mean.

Luckily you are earning money from your signature campaign from posts as such.

Yes, lucky me. Unlike you, I am earning money, not losing. But then again, losing money is just a theory for you, as you don't lose anything even when you are supposed to lose, because you are scamming those which you are supposed to pay.
Oh, wait... I thought I was failing at everything. How comes I am lucky in this case though? I feel confused now.

I appreciate how people saw your newsletter (your initial business here, GazetaBitcoin)

I also appreciated that. Finally, we are on same page here. However, Gazeta Bitcoin was never my business here.

and you became a failure

How is that?

but just posting and copying ideas of 1miau in local topics or gathering information using search, won't make you a user who contributes.

Don't forget also that I was "copying" fillippone's ideas too. And LoyceV's. Just to make things clear: by "copying" you mean "translating", right?

It's just an user who seeks attention, trying to do useless jobs for him to be noticed.

Shame on me! Shame!

I feel pity for you

Thank you, highly appreciated!

definetly no highschool friends

Definitely!

Still a virgin?

How else?!

Had to say these nice words towards you NewsletterBitcoin

Thanks again!

it is better when you can quote me to refference and reply to each one of them

Wow, we share same thoughts for the second time already! Great minds think the same, right?

Maybe you will ask your friends to help you out in replying

Yes, I will start another topic, in Meta this time, for asking my friends to reply here.

you barely can do it yourself.

I'm a simple human being. I do what I can.

I forgive you for being a newbie, an incompetent person.

Oh, I feel relieved now! You are in a very good mood today!
1745  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful with saxydev; he is a scammer on: February 10, 2023, 05:18:54 PM
I refuse to pay

That's all that matters from what you said. Quoted for reference.




for a low quality product

It seems I have to repeat myself: you did not agree for any other terms such as product quality nor any other clause. So stop hiding behind reasons now. Your deal was simple:

Dude, there is not such a service for free anywhere. What are you even talking about? You can try a lifetime pointing me to a free service. There is none.
Let me make you an offer, if I post a proof for a free service like I said you will pay me 0.1 BTC
Deal. Let's see



Nobody sent to me any law where it says it is illegal



Nobody has to as this was not a part of the deal. Besides, I also told you before I won't lose my time to check the penal code for you.

nor a link where the service is given for free yet.

dkbit98 sent you the link since January 24th.

Like I promised, I am keeping my word and I am posting one free website that is called antinalysis.org, so I will now post my BTC address and I expect to receive 0.1 BTC you promised to send me.

You are 16 days overdue with your payment.



Because you asked your dear friends to support in this bored feud, doesn't mean I have to give you pleasure.

The only pleasure is knowing that another scammer has been exposed and people have a chance to avoid him.

You are are just a bored spammer with more complex words @NewsletterBitcoin

Bored spammer? Lol! After making more than 50.000 good reports for spam posts I am spammer? That was a good joke.

English follows
Nu este nevoie, am inteles ce ai spus si nu era nevoie nici atunci sa iti ceri scuze...

Intamplator, vorbeam despre cat de multi oameni nu inteleg cu adevarat pericolele asociate cu KYC, cu CDBC-uri, exchange-uri centralizate... Si despre cat de putini oameni inteleg aceste lucruri. Imi pare rau ca te-am dat exemplu, dar mi-a fost la indemana in momentul respectiv. Ideea nu era de a te da ca exemplu pe tine in special, ci de a sublinia faptul ca, daca sunt atat de multi utilizatori vechi care inca nu au inteles aceste aspecte, nici nu prea sunt sperante ca aceia noi sa le inteleaga. Cu alte cuvinte, discutia era una la modul general, nu despre tine.

Imi pare rau si imi cer scuze pentru neintelegere



By pure chance, we were discussing about how may people don't really understand dangers associated with KYC, CDBCs, centralized exchanges... And, also, about how few individuals understand these aspects. I am sorry for quoting you as example, but your post just came at hand at the respective moment. However, the idea was not to especially give you as example, but to emphasize that, if there are still so many old users which do not understand these dangers, there are small hopes for new ones to understand them. In other words, the discussion was a general one, not one about you.

I am sorry and I am apologizing for the misunderstanding.

@GazetaBitcoin,
A contestant can participate in  Quiz only once.
He cannot try more than once. If you make such an arrangement. I think it would be good.

I understand your frustration and all I can say is that it's totally justified, if this really happened. Sadly, nor icopress nor I can limit someone's tries. I expected though for people to complete the quiz for fun, not necessarily for obtaining highest score possible. It is what it is though. Maybe some cheated; maybe some were experienced before joining the forum, as Razmirraz suggested. We may never know for sure unless we actually follow those users' future posts and see how they behave.

Please see also my previous post and edit the post where gave reference to correct answer of a question. (And, as a matter of fact, what's stated there is also not correct Smiley So those choosing that answer would pick a wrong one.)



I also agree with you.Because each of these nine new accounts is preceded or followed by an @.Maybe they are doing this for merit.They think posting here will get merit.

Sadly for them I am ignoring such posts.

First of all I thank you sir for creating this topic.I learned a lot about Bitcoin from this quiz.But haven't shared it yet.

Welcome! Feel free to take the quiz whenever you will up for it Smiley

want to increase the scope of my knowledge about Bitcoin so that I can quickly become fully experienced about cryptocurrency.

That is a very healthy way of thinking. You can also follow these topics for learning more about Bitcoin and about the forum:

Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
Newbies - Read before posting]
What is Bitcoin? A Step-By-Step Guide For Beginners

And, also, the sticky topics from Meta

You may also want to take a look over my updated topic about how to upload images on the forum: How to post images from imgur (Jr. Members and up) -- Revamped.

I hope this helps.



Awesome quiz - always love these.
My score is 18/21. I hope to do better in the future.

Congrats for the very good score! I quoted your score in full picture below, since your rank does not allow you yet.





You shared the link of the quiz, not the link for your score recorded in an image uploaded on Internet.
1749  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 🥧 Bitcointalk Pie Making Contest - Gathering feedback 🥧 on: February 10, 2023, 10:48:07 AM
The voting process seems short enough, I think it need at least 1 week or even 2 weeks since people might forgot, busy etc.

I am also in favor of 2 weeks period for voting.

Although merit can be used to vote, but it's not really a good choice because it would increase few dramas [...]

I think voting via poll or post are better than merit.

Indeed, looking back in the past at first two editions of BitcoinTalk Community Awars, not forbidding merit sending between nominees and those which voted for them may lead to incorrect results and, even more, to abuses. On the other hand, polls can tricked by using multiple accounts. I'd rather suggest to use the rules applied to lattest edition of BitcoinTalk Community Awards. From my perspective (which was shared by a dozen of other users -- you can read posts made inside this topic) a no merit rule combined with setting a minimum amounts of earned merits are very helpful:

2. No merit sending is allowed from nominees to users which nominated them. This should improve dramatically the accuracy of results and offenders will have to support a penalty. For each merit sent, 1 vote is deducted. So for example, if in the voting topic Alice sent 5 merits to those who nominated her in any category, then we will not count these votes (but the rest of the votes that are addressed to other nominees will be taken into account). In addition, if a user voted for Alice in two categories, then the votes for each of the categories will be unaccounted for.

3. Eligibility-wise, the earlier rule

You must have 50 merit or be a full member or higher to vote ➥ Note.

will be changed to

You must have 50 earned merits to voteNote.

I believe though in our case, of a pie making contest, there are lower chances for abuses, therefore the merit threshold can be lowered. Maybe 30 earned merits? Additionally, those two rules may be supplied by a rule for a minimum amount of activity in order to be eligible, which may be set to 30 as well. After all, the idea is to limit an eventual accounts farmer which could join with 100 Brand New accounts (although I think this is highly improbable to happen), therefore an amount of 30 activity points would be decent enough for still allowing a very large pool of users to participate, if they would be interested.

There are 2 ways:
  • Every contributors just hold in their own wallet, when the winners have been announced, every contributors can send the prize to the winners
  • Use trusted escrow if you and other contributors doesn't want to get confused or want to be more efficient

In most likely, allowing sponsors to hold their own funds accepted, as there are low chances to have a liar or scammer pretending to offer a sponsorship.

Quote
  • Should I change some rules? Or even add more? I want it to be a fair contest for everyone but also prevent double posting from users who may create new accounts for example ...
  • Only Full member and above are eligible to vote, or any ranks have been received at least 50 Merits
  • One user can vote x user(s), or there's no restriction and one user can vote all participants, as long as he want?

I believe that limiting eligible ranks to Full Member and above (combined with setting a minimum of 50 earned merits) will make the pool very small for a pie making contest. In the case of BitcoinTalk Community Awards, this rule allowed, if I remember well, about 3000 users. From these, only 141 (eligible) voted. And this was a contest with a very high exposure. Most likely, for our pie making contest the exposure will be lower, therefore the real pool of possible voters would be dramatically lowered.

Here I'd suggest instead to eliminate the rank requirement, as long as we keep the merit requirement and have the merit requirement set to 30 instead of 50. Regarding abuses, again, chances are very low: who would make some merit abuses to merit his accounts from a possible own accounts farm, in order to have 50 earned merits per profile just in order to participate at a pie making contest? Smiley

Tl; dr: my suggestion is to extend voting period to 2 weeks, set an eligibility rule allowing only users which earned at least 30 merits and 30 activity (no matter the rank), forbid merit sending from nominees to those which voted for them; and allow eventual sponsors to hold their funds and personally send them to winners Smiley
1750  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Charity Auction - yahoo62278] Bitcoin Romania Card - 100 RON in BTC on: February 10, 2023, 09:49:49 AM
I was sent a pm by hilariousandco asking me to remove my donation addresses, I assume asking is against the rules and I do not want anyone getting into trouble for me.

Although I do not know what rules may be broken, I believe it's possible that only you broke those rules, not RickDeckard too, unless he was contacted as well by hilariousandco. I think he can do whatever he wants with the money earned -- which includes sending them to you, although you do not show anymore a visible address for donations... Does this make sense?

There were many charity auctions in the past and none was stopped (although some were scam) for breaking any rule... Furthermore, there are also two more similar auctions active right now - [Auction]CYPHER HODL-SATODIME CARD CUSTOM ARTWORKS-proceeds goto coldkey victims, ⏩⏩[AUCTION LIST] Auction for ColdKey victims of the apparent theft⏪⏪. This makes be believe that such auctions are following the rules.

It's up to RickDeckard in the end but I think he should wait to see if he is contacted for cancelling the auction prior simply cancelling it...

Problema mea este ca atata timp cat noi stam doar in bula noastra, nu o sa reusim sa il convingem pe gradinar sa se uite la bitcoin. Doar daca fiu-sau sau nepotul il vor convinge.. adica incet, tarziu, vai de noi...

Sincer, m-as bucura daca as sti cu certitudine ca macar fi-miu va avea ocazia aceasta...

Da, este o lovitura sub centura tuturor celor care doresc sa ramana anonimi si sa nu isi bage guvernul nasul unde nu-i fierbe oala. Dar vasta majoritate ar considera asta un succes.

Asta-i partea cea mai dureroasa: sa vezi cum toti se bucura (in timp ce guvernele rad in pumni) de parca ar fi biruit intr-o batalie cand, in realitate, tocmai au pierdut o batalie. Toata lumea va aplauda hainele cele noi ale imparatului, neintelegand ca, in realitate, imparatul este gol.

Am lasat asta la sfarsit fiindca nu cred ca va merge. Azi lumea prefera sa plateasca cu telefonul, plata cu cardul nici macar nu mai e la moda. Asa afla si Apple/Google/... si Visa, si banca pe unde ai mai umblat. Lumea doreste sa faca totul din telefon sau bratara inteligenta. Deci eliminarea platii cu telefonul (inclusiv din portofel bitcoin) nu cred ca va merge.

Are sens ce spui... Ma gandeam insa, ca e posibil ca guvernele sa spuna ceva de genul "uite, din generozitate, va vom lasa sa platiti cu BTC, insa doar de pe carti de debit crypto". Insa realitatea este cum spui tu. Sunt sigur insa ca autoritatile vor gasi o solutie si pentru acest trend, astfel incat sa nu fie platile facute anonim. Nu-mi vine nimic in minte acum, insa cred ca se vor gasi solutii.

In 1-2 generatii cam toti bitoinii din circulatie tot vor ajunge sub umbrela KYC.

Voila! Asta ar fi o solutie Smiley

Vorba lui Agent Smith: it's inevitable.

Sau, cum spunea entitatea Borg din Star Trek, "resistence is futile" Smiley



Şi uite aşa ajungem într-un punct în care renunţăm la libertăţi într-un mod voit, acceptând îngrădirea împachetată în comfort.

Pai ce sa facem, IntimitateG, daca - iata - avem contraexemple nenumarate chiar aici, pe forum. Avem membri cu state vechi (peste 8 ani in crypto) care pot spune enormitati de genul:

I know centralized exchange is bad since ftx case but I do believe you are using Cex for withdraw your money right, besides that this is temporary you across border and when u arrive withdraw the money  Cheesy
or deposit your money or btc to a centralized exchange and withdraw it when you arrive in destination country but of course you need a liquid exchange like binance

Utilizatorul de mai sus imbina perfect si necunostinta de cauza si ingradirea impachetata in confort.

Again, you are not right. There are countries where is not forbidden to drive when you drink or high limits, there are countries where you can hold your ground and just shoot.

Yes, but Romania is not among them.

Laws are different everywhere, I am not a subject to romanian law

I highly doubt that.

Don't play again with my vocabulary: assumption: "Something taken for granted or accepted as true without proof; a supposition"

Exactly: I supposed you are Romanian, without seeing your ID. You quote a dictionary trying to be smart but it only makes you look even more idiot, as you are saying precisely what I said. Let me repeat: I did not conclude, I just assumed. Or, based on the dicitionary explanation, I supposed. This is exactly what I said in my earlier post.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about? I am not subject for any tax on crypto in my country where I have my fiscal residence.

In Romania there is a saying which, as a Romanian which you are, you know very well. I'll share it for others too: fools are not fools enough if they don't wear a hat with diamonds. It means that the fool does everything to impress, to try to get attention, without realizing that what he does only makes him look even more stupid in the eyes of the others.

And this is what you do.

edit: over time I think I posted in multiple local threads, I do speak 7 languages to a proficient level xoxoxo

Holy Mother of God! Excuse me! Probably we should take our hats of in front of such well educated person as you are! /s

You are simply acting like those pathetic Romanians, which went to Italy for working on harvesting strawberries for 2-3 months and, when they returned home, they were saying "come si dice to that / come si dice to the other", acting like they were in Italy for decades and they forgot their language. But they were there for 2-3 months. Just like you: you probably bought yourself a low cost airplane to Moldavia or whatever country you went to visit and now you you know 7 languages and forgot your own? Lol! You barely spell your name and you speak 7 languages? =))) Yeah right!

Be aware: using Google Translate does not mean you are speaking a foreign language.

P.S.: belching in French does not mean you speak French.

Excepting that, you better pay 0.1 BTC to dkbit98 instead of bragging yourself.



So, You have accused that you have been scammed and also you have informed us that you have received the refund. But for clarification would you like to share both transactions of sending the payment and the transaction id of the refund of the payment?

I would also like to see that transaction, if possible.
1753  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Should BTC amounts greater than 10.000E be declared when leaving the country? on: February 09, 2023, 07:33:49 PM
That is not a particularly good idea and it is not something you want to be explaining in front of court if you are caught doing that.

I also share this thought. In my opinion, being caught with an undeclared wallet (containing more than 10.000E in BTC) hidden on the storage of a drone / action camera / music player / portable speaker seems way more suspicious than simply having the wallet on your phone. If custom officers are targeted for amounts greater than 10.000E there may be nothing to do; yet hiding the wallet in such unusual place may trigger them to believe the coins may be part of an illegal scheme or who knows...



I know centralized exchange is bad since ftx case but I do believe you are using Cex for withdraw your money right, besides that this is temporary you across border and when u arrive withdraw the money  Cheesy

I would certainly never use a centralized exchange. And you said a part of the risks associated with them -- but there are many other risks presented by such exchanges:

- first of all, the rule "not your keys not your coins" is more than real: a Court decision from 2020 practically says that
- centralized exchanges may be hacked and you lose your money
- centralized exchanges may seize your account at any time and you lose your money
- centralized exchanges may also lose your personal information due to hackers and this puts your life in jeopardy, as hackers sell your private data on dark web and you never know what burglar may show up at your door
- centralized exchanges may perform an exit scam and you lose your money
- centralized exchanges offer your personal information to authorities
- centralized exchanges may even sell your personal information, as it happened in Coinbase's case
- last, but not least, centralized exchanges imply KYC and this topic of 1miau will explain even better the risks associated with KYC: Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless.

If all these were not enough for never using a CEx ever again, then maybe this topic of VB1001 may help on this matter: Hacked Exchanges since 2011.

As I wrote in my previous post, I already PMed (on Jan 19th) OgNasty, SebastianJu, John (John K.), PsychoticBoy, Dabs, bittawm, willi9974, minerjones, zazarb, Lutpin, SFR10, Hhampuz, krogothmanhattan, realediston and MoparMiningLLC.
SebastianJu, John (John K.), PsychoticBoy, Dabs, bittawm, Lutpin and realediston have not replied until present day.

From my perspective it's useless to PM them again, for same matter. Unless you want to give it a second try (which is fine Smiley). But it'll be just losing time, in case you'll do it.



Great jobs in adding willi9974, MoparMiningLLC, OgNasty, updating stats for minerjones and myself and deleting Lauda!



8. Delete Hhampuz and krogothmanhattan per their request.
Will do but before then I will send them a message as they are already on the list.

I already posted above krogothmanhattan's reply. Here is Hhampuz's reply:



11. I suggest you to PM Blazed (although there are low chances for him to ever reply, since he was last active in 2020), TwinWinNerD, ninjaboon, BitCoinDream, and Dudeperfect, for making sure they are still offering the service.
I will do so.

From my perspective, only Blazed should be contacted, as he was the only one from your topic which did not appear in the other two (obsolete) topics. Considering I already contacted everybody else (all remaining users from your list appear also in the other two topics), only he remains to be contacted. But again, if you want to give everybody one more try, feel free to do it Smiley



12. Last, but not least: I would recommend you to add a column for min-max amounts and a column for what stuff the user is escrowing.
Do you mean the amount of the escrow or the fee of the escrow?

Yes.



Have you also thought about another name for the topic? One which could match easier Google searches, thus it would appear in searches on top of the other two threads? Maybe "Active BitcoinTalk escrow providers"?



Later edit: SebastianJu actually replied to me but, for some reason I did not see his PM in my inbox at first sight. He is still offering his service:

Hi Gazeta,

Basically everything is the same.

Everything else is correct though: John (John K.), PsychoticBoy, Dabs, bittawm, Lutpin and realediston have not replied until present day.

You are pumping after certain intervals of time this topic just to find yourself in the center of attention.

You are wrong again. I am not pumping it on purpose; I am simply replying you. And, if I want someone to be in the center of attention, that would be you, not me.

Why would I pay them taxes?

Seriously, are you that imbecile, to not know that you have to pay taxes for your incomes?

How did you get to the assumption that romanian is my native language/national language?

Just like that: I assumed. Probably, you wanted to ask how I reached the conclusion that you are Romanian, not the assumption. But "conclusion" is a word too complex for your baboon lexicon, isn't it? Anyway, if you want to know how I came to this conclusion, I will say that I did it since I saw you are posting in Romanian board. Was that too hard to think about?

Dear NewsletterBitcoin , if you are not able to do a simple search on some laws, why are you so much certain about them?

You are asking all sort of non-sense here. What you ask is like asking to prove that you are forced by law to not drink and drive, to not act like a Police man, to not shoot people etc.
1758  Local / Română (Romanian) / Gândurile lui Phil Zimmermann despre PGP – Cu toții ar trebui să le citim on: February 08, 2023, 08:13:32 PM
Autor: GazetaBitcoin
Topic original: Phil Zimmermann's thoughts about PGP - We all should read them




Pe lângă Manifestul Crypto Anarhic și Manifestul Cypherpunk, prezentate în trecut de mine și, respectiv, bitmover, cred că o altă poveste care trebuie citită este cea din spatele PGP, așa cum Phil Zimmermann însuși a relatat-o: De ce am scris PGP.

Eseul a fost redactat în iunie 1991 și actualizat 8 ani mai târziu, în 1999.

Scrierea conține îngrijorările lui Phil cu privire la intimitate, inclusiv orice tip de anonimitate – de la discuții private și emailuri private până la cărți poștale și multe altele.

"Dreptul la intimitate este acordat în mod implicit prin Legea Drepturilor (n.b. Legea Drepturilor este cuprinsă în primele 10 amendamente ale Constituției S.U.A.). Dar când a fost elaborată Constituția Statelor Unite, Părinții Fondatori nu au văzut nicio nevoie de a exprima în mod explicit dreptul la o conversație privată", susține Phil, încă de la început.

Cu înțelepciune, el explică faptul că oricine are dreptul la intimitate! Din păcate, nu toți țin seamă de acest important aspect al vieții lor. Însă acest eseu ar putea să-i inspire pe cei care îl citesc. Se explică de ce oamenii ar trebui să trântească ușa-n față celor care le invadează intimitatea. Se explică de ce oamenii, chiar dacă nu au nimic de ascuns, ar trebui să aibă dreptul să spună "nu!". Scrierea încearcă să aibă grijă de intimitatea fiecăruia, care este la fel de prețioasă precum propriul trup.

"Dacă chiar sunteți cetățeni supuși legii, care nu au nimic de ascuns, atunci de ce nu vă trimiteți scrisorile în formă de cărți ilustrate? De ce nu faceți cereri de a fi testați de droguri? De ce solicitați un mandat atunci când Poliția vă percheziționează locuințele? Încercați să ascundeți ceva? Dacă vă ascundeți scrisorile în plicuri, înseamnă aceasta că sunteți subversivi, vânzători de droguri sau paranoici? Au nevoie cetățenii supuși legii să-și cripteze emailurile?"

Toate cele de mai sus sunt întrebări retorice. Totuși, ele trebuiau scrise, pentru ca oamenii să înțeleagă situația în care se află – o situație în care guvernele și forțele de aplicare a legii (care sunt niște prelungiri ale brațelor elitelor) sunt avide de date personale, metadate, și pentru a acoperi această foame de date au instalat o supraveghere care a evoluat din ce în ce mai mult, odată cu evoluția tehnologiei. De la cei care trăgeau cu urechea la ascultarea apelurilor telefonice și până la interceptarea emailurilor. Nu este nicio diferență: metoda a fost schimbată, dar scopul a rămas același – guvernele trebuie să știe totul despre cetățeni, fie ei răi sau buni.

"PGP dă oamenilor puterea de a avea intimitatea iîn propriile mâini. Nevoia socială pentru el a fost în creștere. Din acest motiv l-am scris, explică Phil la final. Ar trebui să ținem cont toți de cuvintele sale!

"Dacă intimitatea este scoasă în afara legii, atunci doar cei în afara legii vor avea intimitate" -- Phil Zimmermann.



P.S.: Pentru cine dorește să citească mai multe materiale despre PGP, nullius a scris recent două postări extraordinare (aici și aici).

Mulțumesc, nullius, pentru aceste scrieri! M-ai inspirat să scriu acest topic!

1759  Local / Română (Romanian) / Apelul pentru Assange || Manifestul WikiLeaks – Cu toții ar trebui să-l citim on: February 08, 2023, 06:38:26 PM
Autor: GazetaBitcoin
Topic original: The call for Julian Assange || The WikiLeaks Manifesto - We all should read it




Poate că mulți au auzit de Julian Assange, însă doar foarte puțini știu cu adevărat cine este, ce a realizat și ce face în prezent. Dintre aceștia, și mai puțini știu de ce este o figură emblematică în spațiul crypto.

Acest topic este un apel pentru ajutor. Un apel pentru a-l ajuta pe Julian!

Aveam de mult în plan să redactez acest topic, însă din varii motive (cel mai important fiind lipsa timpului) l-am tot amânat. Totuși, o altă discreditare recentă a presei (intr-un fel sau altul) m-a determinat să scriu topicul. Însă motivul care m-a determinat este mai puțin important. Ce contează cu adevărat este că Julian are nevoie de ajutor.



Ultima propoziție a acestui topic reprezintă o atenționare: "Cu toții ar trebui să continuăm munca începută de Cypherpunks și să luptăm pentru libertate!".

Grupul Cypherpunks a luat naștere în 1992, fiind format din Eric Hughes, autorul "Manifestului Cypherpunk", John Gilmore și Timothy May, autorul "Manifestului Crypto Anarhic". De la o întâlnire inițială în biroul lui Gilmore, o listă de email a luat ființă, numindu-se Lista de email a grupului Cypherpunks.

În timp și alții s-au alăturat luptei grupului Cypherpunks împotriva supravegherii exercitată de Stat asupra cetățenilor. La un moment dat, grupul atinsese numărul de 1000 membri.

Julian Assange a făcut parte din acest grup între 1995 și 2002. Gândirea sa sclipitoare a fost ușor observată de ceilalți. Dacă May, Hughes sau Gilmore se concentrau mai mult pe "algoritmi pentru oameni", pe bani digitali și pe accesul publicului la criptografie (în era în care NSA lupta cu toate puterile împotriva acestui lucru), Assange a avut un principiu diferit: “Libertatea informației este o valoare liberală respectată”.

Manifestul WikiLeaks, un document puțin cunoscut, din nefericire, conține și alte exemple de înțelepciune din partea lui Julian: "Doar injustiției dezvăluite i se poate răspunde; pentru ca omul să poată face un lucru inteligent, el trebuie să știe ce se întâmplă ".

De la apariția tiparniței lui Gutenberg din 1448, care a dus la Revoluția Tiparului, puterea elitelor asupra documentelor clasificate a scăzut constant. Aceasta a fost una dintre primele forme de descentralizare a informației. Julian Assange a dus totul la alt nivel.

Și totul s-a întâmplat dupa lansarea WikiLeaks, în 2006.

"Am crescut crezând că în lumea în care trăiesc oamenii se bucură de o oarecare libertate și pot comunica unii cu alții în intimitate, fără a fi monitorizați, fără a fi măsurați, analizați sau judecați de aceste figuri din umbră sau de aceste sisteme, după bunul lor plac." - Edward Snowden

Împărtășind gândurile lui Snowden; ba, mai mult: încercând să-l și ajute, recomandându-i unde să-și reînceapă viața si, mai ales, unde să nu o facă, după ce acesta a trădat guvernul; Assange a publicat mii de informații clasificate din toate părțile lumii.

Și care e legătura lui cu Bitcoin?, ar întreba unii.

După ce guvernul S.U.A. a demarat blocada financiară împotriva WikiLeaks, Julian a realizat potențialul Bitcoin și a intenționat să accepta noua criptomonedă sub formă de donații. Ideea a pus BitcoinTalk pe jar la acea vreme:

"S-o facem”, a spus RHorning.

Totuși, continuă Assange, ""Satoshi Nakamoto,” anonimul inventator al Bitcoin, a răspuns cu: “Nu, nu o faceți. Proiectul trebuie să crească treptat, pentru ca softul să fie îmbunătățit în timp. Fac acest apel către WikiLeaks, să nu încerce să folosească Bitcoin. Bitcoin este o mică comunitate beta, aflată în fragedă pruncie. Nu ați obține mai mult de mărunțiș pentru buzunar, iar atenția pe care ați atrage-o ne-ar distruge în acest moment.” [...] Șase zile mai târziu, pe 12 decembrie 2010, Satoshi a dispărut din comunitatea Bitcoin, dar nu înainte de a posta acest mesaj: “Ar fi fost frumos să atragem atenția în orice alt context. WikiLeaks a lovit cuibul de viespi, iar acum roiul vine către noi.”".

Ca un semn de adânc respect pentru Satoshi și pentru munca sa, așa cum Assange menționase deja (în link-ul anterior), "WikiLeaks a citit și este de acord cu analiza lui Satoshi, și a decis să nu lanseze încă un canal pentru donații în bitcoin până când moneda ar fi devenit mai stabilă. Adresa WikiLeaks pentru donații în bitcoin a fost lansată după prima creștere majoră a monedei, pe 14 iunie 2011.".

Un astfel de respect este o rara avis în zilele noastre.

Dar aplecarea lui Julian spre Bitcoin nu a ajutat, cu siguranță, doar WikiLeaks: a făcut și ca Bitcoin să devină mai popular; a crescut gradul de conștientizare a creației lui Satosh; a adus tot mai mulți oameni pe drumul deschis de Satoshi.

Ceea ce a urmat este cunoscut mai bine decât partea istorică de mai sus. Guvernul S.U.A. a început în 2011 să-l vâneze pe Assange și, ca răspuns, Julian a reușit să scape cerând azil politic ambasadei Ecuadorului din Londra. Solicitarea i-a fost aprobată în 2012. Totuși, viața sa acolo nu a fost una ușoară. Printre altele, nu a mai călcat în afara ambasadei până în 2019(!), trăind aproape ca în închisoare. Între acuzele nefondate de hărțuire sexuală, abandonate peste câțiva ani de guvernul suedez, și munca sa continuă la WikiLeaks, Assange a încercat să își păstreze moralul ridicat și să facă tot ce putea pentru a evita extrădarea în S.U.A., fiind conștient că aceasta ar putea însemna pentru el, dacă nu pedeapsa cu moartea, măcar 175 de ani în spatele gratiilor.

Din nefericire, în 2019 ambasada Ecuadorului i-a suspendat azilul, din niște motive mai mult sau mai puțin ridicole, însă este aproape limpede că decizia a fost impusă de unele agenții secrete sau de unele guverne.

În momentul scrierii acestui material, procesul de extrădare a lui Julian a început. În timpul procesului el stă în închisoare.

Așa cum spuneam recent, într-un topic anterior,

Lupta pentru liberă exprimare, pentru intimitate și pentru a face ca guvernele să devină irelevante a început acum mult timp. Acum ea se află în mâinile noastre.

Stă la îndemâna noastră să-l ajutăm pe Julian. Și a-l ajuta pe el înseamnă a ajuta transmiterea liberă a informației!

Nu am să explic cum putem oferi acest ajutor. Sunt sigur că toți știu sau, măcar, intuiiesc asta.

Există timp pentru dezbateri și timp pentru acțiune. Timpul dezbaterilor s-a scurs.



Note:

Recomand citirea următoarelor materiale:
- The Trial of Julian Assange: A Story of Persecution, de Nils Melzer – Povestea șocantă a persecuției legale asupra lui Julian Assange, fondatorul Wikileaks, și implicațiile periculoase asupra informatorilor din vitor
- capodopera lui Robert Manne The Cypherpunk Revolutionary Julian Assange
- Cel mai periculos om din lume: povestea lui Julian Assange și a WikiLeaks, de Andrew Fowler
- Cypherpunks: Libertate și Internetul viitorului, de Julian Assange. Cartea cuprinde o discuție purtată de Julian, Jacob Appelbaum (dezvoltator Tor) și Jérémie Zimmermann (co-fondator al La Quadrature du Net)
- Underground, de Suelette Dreyfus & Julian Assange. Este o carte fascinantă despre ascensiunea hackerilor și a phreakerilor din  Australia anilor 1980, incluzând și activitatea timpurie a lui Julian Assange care, în acele timpuri, era cunoscut sub pseudonimul Mendax
- When Google Met WikiLeaks, de Julian Assange
- The Unauthorised Autobiography, de Julian Assange.

Adițional, următoarele filme trebuie vizionate:

Ithaka - un documentar care prezintă lupta lui Julian pentru a evita extrădarea în S.U.A.
Mediastan: A Wikileaks Road Movie – un documentar realizat chiar de WikiLeaks – link-ul conține filmul întreg
Risk – un documentar despre WikiLeaks, regizat de Laura Poitras (prietenă a lui Julian Assange) – link-ul conține filmul întreg
The Fifth Estate – film foarte bun despre WikiLeaks
We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks – alt documentar despre WikiLeaks
Underground: The Julian Assange Story – alt film despre Julian, care prezintă cariera timpurie a acestuia

Pai bun, dar si asta ar fi tot plata directa cu bitcoin pentru orice. S-ar incadra. Problema e ca (o sa raman pe exemplul tau) noi inca mergem sa vindem bitcoin pentru lei ca sa-i dam gradinarului acei lei... Iar el plateste arenda in lei. Adica noi in bula noastra, iar ei tot cu fiat-ul lor, tot cu inflatie si toate cele.

Pai la asta ma refeream si eu -- macar de-am reusi sa platim arenda / chiria / ce-o fi cu bitcoin; cel caruia-i platim sa cumpere de la noi ceva tot cu bitcoin si asa mai departe. Macar la scara mica de-am reusi si tot ar fi bine. Dar nu prea reusim nici asta.

Eu cred ca e prea putin. Si daca mergem in aceasta directie s-ar putea sa nu implementeze niciodata platile crypto. De ce ar face-o, daca noi suntem mai mult decat fericiti cu fiat-ul lor?

Raspunsul (trist) s-ar putea afla in ceea ce acrisesem ca o anticipatie, in postarea mea anteriara. Mai precis, ar putea-o face fix pentru a da o lovitura finala intregului sistem crypto. Desigur, daca ajung si capii lumii sa realizeze ca astfel ar putea, in sfarsit, centraliza tot. Poate ca nu-si vor da seama insa...

Din pacate cred ca spre asta se merge. Si s-ar putea ca Satoshi sa fi stiut asta, ca altfel inventa ... Monero  Cheesy  Dar el a lasat totul la vedere.
Partea cu neacceptarea portofelului personal nu cred ca va tine. Adica ce o sa faca cei care au mii si milioane de bitcoin dinaintea aparitiei acelor legi?! Plus, ar fi o logistica impresionanta ca doar platile din partea anumitor adrese (sau zPub?) sa fie acceptate. Nu cred ca se vor complica in asemenea hal.
Dar da, vor urmari toate tranzactiile, chiar mai abitir decat se face acum cu cardurile de fiat.

Cred ca ar putea rezolva problema foarte simplu: doar cine merge la casa de marcat cu un card de debit crypto va putea plati cu crypto. Adica iti vor interzice, pur si simplu, sa platesti cu telefonul. Avand card inseamna automat ca ai trecut prin KYC. Deci esti "eligibil", in ochii guvernului (si, implicit, in ochii magazinului, care se va conforma legii). Nu ai card de debit crypto? Nu poti plati. Si cardurile de debit crypto au aparut de mult... Probabil ca se vor limita sa le accepte doar pe marii industriasi - Visa, Mastercard si alte cateva si asta e tot - voila Smiley

Iar cei care detin mii / milioane de BTC, din timpuri ancestrale, vor fi nevoiti sa transfere fondurile pe cardurile de debit. Si, cum prin crearea cardurilor trc prin KYC, vor trece prin KYC toate acele milioane de monede, in functie de cat va cheltui fiecare...
