21  Economy / Marketplace / Re: [ANN] Cognitive Cryptography VPN - A new cheap, fast VPN. Launched! on: March 02, 2013, 02:29:59 PM
I now see you don't keep any logs and usage cannot be traced back to you.

Is it not possible this could be LE trying to snoop on us all? I know this is over-the-top slightly but if they controlled a few VPNs then they could follow exactly what you did, even though you thought you were anonymous? Im merely interested and not accusing in the slightest!

If the feedback coming in remains good, Ill consider joining too.
Interesting thought.
The way we see it, is, arn't you snooped on all the time anyway? Google logs all your usage data and possibly Google drive files, and Facebook has been proven to track your data even outside of their site. I'm sure most of us regularly use Google and Facebook, so wouldn't it be much easier for the LE to buy your data from them and others? Both Google and Facebook have not been known to sell data, but what makes them any more trustworthy than us? Because they are a big corporation? If anything, that makes them more open to secret deals, or rouge employees who have access to the data. Countless corporations have done it in the past, and there are many places you can go to, to find extensive information on a person.
Cognitive Cryptography is run by 2 people, only 1 of which has access to HaiPeng, our VPN server; and by extension any "logs" we may keep. Everything I do that concerns the company is disclosed on irc, and the same with JackSparrow. If he went rouge, I would be the first to report.
Using our VPN is, given, risky because although we say we don't log your data, we always could. But we are no less risky than any other VPN. And plus, its more risky using Facebook and Google because they are GUARANTEED to log your data.
Google now has free internet, there is no reason why they won't log all of your browsing data from that.
There are even companies that store all tweets on twitter ever made, and even keep deleted tweets. There is software available to keep your own twitter logs for large scale crown analysis. Twitter has millions upon millions of daily users, CCVPN has no hope of achieving anywhere near a million. Why spend your time and money setting up a VPN company when you can access twitter logs for free(from, I dare say, a large amount of less technically, and by extension, privacy inclined users, who probably disclose a lot more about themselves than the average Bitcoin user?)?

startpage.com - startpage logs all Google search data, then let's you search it. You get the same search results as Google, but without the logs.

Phew, that took me over an hour.

Fixed a bug in our payment system asking for 0.2 btc when €2 worth of btc is actually around 0.075 btc.

I was under the impression that I had a test plan, not a test account, but alright.
Yep, sorry. We wiped all accounts(even my one) upon launch.
Thanks for testing! :-)

25  Economy / Marketplace / [ANN] CCrypto VPN - Unlimited, cheap, fast. From 0.0025 BTC/month on: March 01, 2013, 08:47:31 PM
Greetings!
After extensive weeks of private alpha testing and a few days of further alpha testing with a few selected applicants, we have finally launched our VPN! It is located at http://vpn.ccrypto.org/
We take PayPal, and Bitcoin, and have plans starting from €2/0.0025BTC a month, WITHOUT having to buy 12 months at a time.
We do not log any of your browsing, and you can even review our code on GitHub.

If you have any questions, especially how to install the VPN, consult our help section. If this fails, you can join us on IRC, #ccrypto on freenode, though we may be asleep. You can also message this account.

Update:
We now offer a free 3 days trial! just ask here, by email or on IRC to get one.
We also recently fixed multiple issues and have a new affiliate program!

I would be very willing to test your product. I have used many VPN services over the past few years, and I do have enough experience to rate your product. I'm sure that by testing your product, I will help you improve your services to your customers.

Still taking applicants? I can test on my mobile and desktop
No, sorry. I should have made that clear.
All applications closed.

We should be open for buyers soon, though, and our prices are the cheapest in Bitcoin and the cheapest we can find on the internet.

Sorry, applications are closed but you can still make suggestions on irc, or buy a plan when we launch in a few days :-)

I have pm'ed all testers with info on how to sign up.
If all goes to plan, the Cognitive Cryptography VPN will launch on Friday!

Although the applications are closed, but I will accept TradeFortress as he has high rep and applied 3 minutes after close.
I also received an application from CIYAM Open via pm about 190 minutes after closw and he has high rep, so I will accept him.

*10 minutes

Winners:

nimda
Cubox
vdragon

I will send you your logins via pm in a few days.
Again if any of you could join irc that would be great for discussing, when you do have the logins.
Plus, we are lonely :-(

Hello! Soon, Cognitive Cryptography will be releasing a VPN service, which is reliable and cheap. Until we can release to the public, we are looking for up to 5 users to test our service, free!

Requirements:
Must be able to give feedback and answer our questions via pm here, or in our public irc channel #ccrypto on freenode. Our questions will probably be limited to "Does it work?"
Must have a good reputation in the community. There are no set guidelines for this as it is really up to my discretion, but mainly we are looking for a decent(100+) post count and a few trades.
Must be able to testify in a later thread that we have a vpn that works(hopefully).

All applications must be posted here, a simple "Me please." would suffice.

Successful applicants will be announced some time Sunday.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us via pm or in the above mentioned irc channel.

Regards,
Cognitive Cryptography

Hello! We are Cognitive Cryptography, a venture by a few bitcoin forum users who would rather stay anonymous with a desperate account.
Our website is ccrypto.com(still being built), and our public chan is #ccrypto on freenode.
We plan to open our first service in a matter of days, so a whitelist would be great, thanks.
