2722  Economy / Speculation / [Electronic Frontier Foundation] PayPal Shuts Down Long-Time Tor Supporter on: June 03, 2021, 05:49:15 AM

The Tor Project echoed our concerns, saying in an email: “This is the first time we have heard about financial persecution for defending internet freedom in the Tor community. We're very concerned about PayPal’s lack of transparency, and we urge them to reinstate this user’s account. Running relays for the Tor network is a daily activity for thousands of volunteers and relay associations around the world. Without them, there is no Tor—and without Tor, millions of users would not have access to the uncensored internet.”

Does anyone have familiarity with resetting 2 FA on Poloniex? I tried to contact their support and got this response

Quote
Check the sending wallet or exchange to find information about three deposits you've sent to Poloniex (not withdrawals), including the transaction ID, type of coin, exact amount, and date.
Example: "1.2 BTC from Coinbase to Poloniex on March 2, 2018. TXID: f38fdd0f6b5f7a8a7b89315b2801cc12345323145752020d558331c2b7044797"

Describe specific trades you have placed on Poloniex.
Example: "On April 1, 2018 I exchanged 10 BTC for ETH."

Estimate your current account balance and account holdings.
Example: "I have about $500, mostly ETH, 30 XRP and 100 DOGE."

We sent a verification code to your Poloniex email address from verify@poloniex.com. Reply here with this code.
Example: "The code is 123456"

The thing is I want to check my account cause probably I stacks a few crypto there back in 2017ish. But unfortunately, I can't find my backup 2fa code.

Does anyone have an experience with resetting it without the subtle information that being requested? I barely remember which deposit that I sent to Poloniex, so does the last trade I conduct in 2017.

They added 2fa to mine without permission and I had never set it up nor wanted it.
When I was trying to deal with them I just told them what my last deposit was and they reset it for me.

In a few days I'll be having my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Pfizer variety. I know, 5G, Bill Gates, PlanDemic and all that shit. But I always liked to experiment with myself.

Got second Pfizer shot a couple of days ago... all fine till now..  Cool

I was extremely tired for about a week after getting mine, kind of like walking around in a fog.
2725  Economy / Speculation / [arstechnica] SEC is struggling to rein in Elon Musk’s tweets, letters reveal on: June 02, 2021, 08:17:22 PM

The Securities and Exchange Commission is having a hard time reining in Elon Musk’s social media use, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.

The regulator sent Tesla three sternly worded letters between August 2019 and June 2020, asking Tesla’s attorney’s to enforce a 2018 settlement which demanded greater oversight of Musk’s social media posts. “Tesla has abdicated the duties required of it by the court’s order,” said the SEC in a letter from May of last year.

At one point, my cousin mentioned that the government probably invented bitcoin.. He said that he believes that the USA government has a motive in order to have an ever-present backdoor that just sits there but then when I pointed out quite a few reasons why his assertion is likely not to be true, he asserted that he agrees that his idea is a long shot, but still one that he believes and it motivates him to be quite skeptical of bitcoin as an investment that will hold its value. 


Is he an Idiot? This statement holds zero logic, if the Gov created it then they will not allow it to lose value and therefore not do what they want it to do so why does he think it will lose value. Those are diametrically opposed views, The guys a lost cause, don't waste your breath.

According to a release, this allows users to trade XMR for BTC without having to trust a third-party or intermediary (or even the trading counterparty). Users are able to seamlessly conduct trades globally without using a “regulated” financial institution.

The XMR digital currency is well-known for its private and fungible properties. Unlike other crypto-assets, the Monero protocol hides the sender, receiver, and amount for all transfers. This allows its privacy protections to expand to cover more transactions than are “involved in Bitcoin mixing, Ethereum mixing, and all other ‘privacy coins’ combined.”

Monero is the “recognized global standard” in private digital payments, the release noted.

Spotted this in another thread (check the date first).

No wonder he’s so depressed & anti bitcoin  Grin
He should be a billionaire with that kind date of adoption. Is proudhon trolling us or is he perma haunted by the biggest mistake of his life (selling far too early?).

Pffffff, I'm selling and recovering initial investments before the big crash.

As a gpu miner, I was forced to use win 10 although I prefer win 7. But there are bat files which turn off everything you want. The updates are a bit trickier but with some google hints I managed to make it appear that I turned them off completely. In case I want some software from MS Store, I temporatily allow the update services. In this way I think I have a full control of my Black box windows.

I know that whatever update I allow will not roll back my changes nor add other backdoors because I trust M$ to have my privacy as a top priority.

FTFY

for a mining rig i dont care about MS win10 spyware. after all mining rigs should be dedicated to one thing - mining - so should have no personal info on it and MS can feast on that info for all i care.

my miners are on a separate network that has zero interaction with my other networks as i have one for the main computers, one for the miners, and one for IoT (read: attack vectors galore with no security updates for 90% of the IoT crap out there) stuff. none of those networks can see the others.

my mining rig needs windows as some of the mining programs for my FPGAs require it. and it is easy to shut off windows update so no worries about new drivers breaking things and reboots that leave your gear  sitting there doing.. nothing at all useful.



Correct (mostly, as security of the entire network really is its weakest point) but the context of the conversation was not geared to application specific uses.

2737  Economy / Speculation / Re: Texas’ “failsafe” generators failed, risking weeks-long catastrophe on: May 28, 2021, 08:25:13 PM

More than half of the state’s 28 black start generators, which are crucial for bringing a collapsed grid back to life, experienced outages themselves, according to a new report by The Wall Street Journal. Of the 13 primary generators, nine encountered trouble, as did six of 15 secondary generators acting as backups in case the primary backups failed. Some had trouble getting enough fuel to run, while others were damaged by the cold weather.

“Having had experience for almost two decades with utilities, it’s genuinely inconceivable to me—even in today’s massively deregulated environment—I cannot imagine how any regulatory oversight got itself into this position,” said Evan Wilner, who served as Delaware’s first public advocate representing utility customers.

Yes, what was already unpleasant could have been worse.
Regulation (excessive) is bad, deregulation brings it's own troubles and deregulated entities DON'T spend money to support the grid. Yet, when the grid fails, they are not to blame...f-ers.
Maybe it is the age, but I start to foresee some upcoming civilization failures.
Maybe we are closer to the end than to beginning.
We don't have enough chips, GPUs, hard drives, lumber, etc, etc.
Inflation is running high, yet salaries are stagnating.
Debt is literally through the roof, money printing continues with abandon, yet the focus is on "bad' bitcoin and it's minuscule energy use.

We (the societal WE) are the scorpion that, instead of stinging the frog in the proverbial tale, stings itself and maybe dies.

Not to mention with everything trying to be pushed to a pay as you go service rather than an outright purchase all manner of devices will fail through timeouts if their keep alive signal to continue to function cannot be received.

This is a very slippery slope if you think deep enough into it.

Accessing Libera.Chat Via Tor

Libera.Chat is also reachable via Tor, bound to some restrictions. You can’t directly connect to irc.libera.chat via Tor; use the following hidden service as the server address instead:

libera75jm6of4wxpxt4aynol3xjmbtxgfyjpu34ss4d7r7q2v5zrpyd.onion

The hidden service requires SASL authentication. In addition, due to abuse we have seen across other networks in the past, we have unfortunately had to add another couple of restrictions:

    You must log in using SASL EXTERNAL or ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE (more below)
    If you log out while connected via Tor, you will not be able to log in without reconnecting.

If you haven’t set up the requisite SASL authentication, we recommend SASL EXTERNAL. You’ll need to generate a client certificate and add that to your NickServ account. We describe how to in detail under our guide on setting up CertFP.

Connecting using SASL EXTERNAL requires that you connect using TLS encryption.

You’ll then want to tell your client to try the EXTERNAL mechanism. We lack comprehensive documentation for this, but it’s a feature in most modern clients, so please check their docs for instructions for now.
Verifying Tor TLS connections

A Tor hidden service name securely identifies the service you are connecting to. Verifying the TLS server certificate is strictly-speaking unnecessary while using the hidden service. Nonetheless you may verify the hidden service’s TLS server certificate by adding the following fragment to your torrc configuration file and configure your client to connect to palladium.libera.chat via Tor. The TLS server certificate used by the hidden service will validate using this hostname.

# torrc snippet:
MapAddress palladium.libera.chat libera75jm6of4wxpxt4aynol3xjmbtxgfyjpu34ss4d7r7q2v5zrpyd.onion

Older clients that don’t support SOCKS4a or later will need to use MapAddress with an IP address, and the certificate will not validate successfully. In this case validation will need to be disabled.

Note that the hidden service’s certificate changes periodically as it is updated. This means that the certificate fingerprint can not be reliably pinned.
