1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / LinkWarz.com - new site accepting BTCD on: September 25, 2014, 12:42:33 AM
Hey y'all.   I just wanted to let you know that my site LinkWarz.com is accepting BitcoinDark.  Is there a merchant / services list somewhere I can add it to?  or someone can add it for me?  thanks.

+1984.   Well said!


You really think the name has anything to do with it? They could have named it "Save the children" wallet and the same journalistic slant
would have been made... we are talking about principled Anarchists here, who are openly attacking the status quo.

If you listen to the whole interview the main objection is that there isn't a backdoor placed within the Dark Wallet to give to the authorities for them
to Identify ISIS or any "criminals" whether it be Snowden, Assange or your friendly pot dealer. The Irony is that it was US and other nation states that originally funded and trained ISIS just like many other Terrorists groups. So the Interviewer keeps pressing for concerns about hypothetical uses of the dark wallet when instead of addressing the reason and source of this terrorist group.

You need to understand that even if we assume governments are not corrupt and have the best of intentions this doesn't address either their incompetence
or the existing laws that are unethical. Additionally, any backdoor written into the code is a huge security risk as ISIS, other dictators, and random hackers
can than exploit it for their personal benefit.

No, we are reclaiming the word "Dark" to reclaim our sovereignty. Dark wallet isn't "radical" or "fringe" as it merely allows us to do what we have been able to do for hundreds of years and participate in the global economy without being tracked.

We aren't going to reform the world by playing games with words and through dishonesty. These are the games of Karl Rove and other Corrupt politicians.

5  Economy / Service Announcements / LinkWarz.com - Publish a link to your content and duke it out for the top spot. on: September 24, 2014, 10:33:32 PM
LinkWarz.com is a fun little site I've been working on in my spare time and I think it is ready for public use. I invite everyone here to check it out and claim your spot early.

The basic concept of LinkWarz is to provide an anonymous billboard where anyone can easily post a link to anything they wish to promote but must pay a small tip ( worth at least 1 cent ) to get your link posted. Links are then ranked in order of tips received, so there can be a sort of bidding war to get ranked high enough to be on the front page or even the top position.  Also each link gets its own page with comments and tipping history.

LinkWarz.com requires no signup, no personal information and is clean, hassle-free and ad-free.  It's a brain-dead easy way to help get the word out about your website, blog, project, coin, favorite band, grandma's cookie recipe... whatever.  No popularity contest is necessary. If you want on the front page or even the top spot, you can make it happen, now!

Initially links can be tipped with Bitcoin, LiteCoin, DarkCoin, DogeCoin. BitcoinDark and NameCoin.  We'll consider adding others later if there is demand.

Also 50% of bitcoin tips go to charitable causes that accept BTC. ( Does not apply for altcoin tips ).

As of this writing, the top spot on LinkWarz is available for just $1.01 worth of BTC and front page links for as little as 1 cent.

Who here will claim them?

seems like tinfoil underwear should provide more bang for the buck, what with everyone carrying around cell-phones these days.

Of course none of these would be effective against longitudinal (tesla) waves that can penetrate a faraday cage, but that doesn't matter since the bulk of the scientific community has been ignoring them for the past 100 years anyway, so there are few local sources.  Nor are they known to be harmful to one's nuts or brain.

Seems like a good thread to advertise:
tinfoil hats: 1 BTC
Copper mesh hats: 2 BTC
zinc-manganese alloy in a bilayered hexagonal array hats: 4 BTC

Any takers? Get real.

From the article:

Quote
The US government and European Banking authorities are looking at regulating the use of the crypto-currency, and are particularly concerned about how the Dark Wallet could be used as a money laundering tool.

So this is how they play it:  demonize darkwallet and its developers and users or any similar software that pops up.  So long as they can keep it a niche thing, then bitcoin remains trackable and therefore controllable.    Anyone found to be using anonymous tech is automaticallly "bad".   Eventually use itself may be a crime.  ( 2 legs bad, four legs good )

The obvious way to prevent this from happening is to bake strong privacy into the bitcoin protocol itself, so that users are are engaging in anonymous transactions by default.  When everyone is doing it, no one is a target.

The longer we wait and pretend that pseudo-anonymity is sufficient, the more we as a community are playing into the hands of those who would track and control us.

It is time that we wake up and make real anonymity top priority.

If Bitcoin devs won't embrace financial privacy, then we'd better start supporting altcoins that do.

How much data do you envision being stored in the Ricardian contract?   

For example, many auction listings contain images and even video of the product.

There seems to be a couple issues with storing these in the contract:

1) A video or large image is a lot of data to store in ascii form (base64?) via json encoding.

2) The contract is supposed to be both human and machine readable.  The image/video cannot be read by a human without software interpretation.   Presenting the contract to the user seems to require some care because either you need to truncate/hide the encoded binary data or else display it and look really ugly.   Maybe solve this via a "human" and "raw" view of the contract?


I don't know if these are problems, but just something I wondered about how OpenBazaar handles it.....
