Interesting approach. This is some kind of Captcha mining I suppose?

Not a single coin on my faucet has been mined. It's funded off advertisements and donations.

How many visits will it take to recieve a payout

0.00008 LTC every 30 minutes

Sorry, but you have not reached the minimum payout value yet. You have to accumulate enough Litecoins first. It's not that hard, really. All you have to do is to make 3-4 requests every day for 2 days.

Minimum withdrawal amount is currently set to 0.04 LTC

So isn't it really 0.04/0.00008 = 500 Times at a 30 minute interval?

There are so many choices according to this site do you have any recommendations on a Linux client
https://prism-break.org/

Well, noob-friendly would mean Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Then you've gotta choose which "desktop" version you want... gah, it's as if they don't want people to do it via giving them bewildering choices. Still, determined ship-jumper is determined...

Carlton Linux guide:

By "desktop", it means the whole graphical interface to the OS. Some are like Windows 7/Vista (Mate, Cinammon, KDE), some are more Windows 95-ish (Xfce, LXDE), others are more Apple Mac-esque (GNOME v.3). Use of the words "like", "-ish" and "-esque" are quite deliberate: don't expect anything identical and don't expect anything other than the interface itself to resemble those OS-es.

In my experience, Linux Mint is easiest to get installed and working on the widest variety of hardware (with the least post-dental appointment style sensations). Ubuntu is usually just as straightforward. Usually. You can also donate to the Linux Mint project in BTC, no other Linux distribution (read: version) currently accepts BTC donations. Don't wanna sound like a Mint shill though; the downside is that some of the plug-ins (mp3, Adobe Flash, probably a few video plug-ins) are NOT open source. This can make the more paranoid or the more ideological head for other distributions. You'll end up having hours of, shall we say "fun", getting either Debian or Fedora working if you want to be Mr. Open Source and Lord of Free Software. It can be done though, just expect pain.

Don't expect it to be as seamless as Windows, it's not. It can be very nearly as seamless, this depends alot on how well your brand of hardware has been tested.

Don't expect all your peripherals to work.

Do be pleasantly surprised when alot more works than you were expecting.

Do be pleased with the wide variety of stuff bundled for free that you'd pay for using Windows.

Do be pleased with all the things Linux does well that Windows can't even do.

Do be pleased with Linux bringing old machines (old like only 512 Mb of RAM) back to life, working like brand new.

Putting it on old PC's would make a 512 Mb of Ram computer shine again Smiley
And yes there were so many options, I guess that we are not alone in wanting to have privacy.
Nothing beats efficiency and unwanted observers.
Thanks for all the help.

As an aside, if a partition was made would it be as effective in case a peripheral is not working, or would Windows somehow invade.

Mmmm, I wouldn't run a dual-boot if security was the goal. Of course, only one partition can have it's OS boot at any one time, but then you've still got a Windows partition that the Linux partition cannot control when Windows is in charge (if malware or hacking happens to Windows partition, it could just as easily do it's worst to your sleeping Linux partition). Dual-boot would work with a tin-foil hat manual mechanism: two HDDs, one OS each. Physically remove the HD cables of the unused OS while you work with the other. It would get more and more fun each time you took the machine apart  Tongue

In all honesty, it's worth it if your old barcode scanner or sound card won't play ball, workaday office devices like printers are very well catered for when it comes to Linux drivers. You could even research the drivers beforehand, but that could be an overwhelming job, and your conclusion could easily be different to the eventual reality (some generic driver you never guessed on may get your device working)


The Windows portion I hope is napping but you never know what it might be doing. Like Windows Updates go away for a while and the computer restarts eventually when your not watching, or worst the NSA. But that would be bad if it can get to the linux side through the windows partition. The security measures would be in vain.

I was thinking that keeping the Windows part in a Sandbox where windows can play all day with itself and not be able to invade the other side might work. Give it a timeout it can only invade its sandbox Smiley
In theory
But taking out the cables sounds smarter no secret program or hackers invading my linux sort of like a spy vs the spy commander.

Good idea to research best drivers before hand, finding people who know what to ask about is the interesting idea, there must be a place somewhere for people who think the same ideas and or people who already do this.

Well I'll try pushing the limits to how far you can go without becoming transient or omnipotent in your world theory, not sure if your going for a storyboard or a few ideas so will just go with it since it seems interesting enough for a story.
Feel free to use any or none of these ideas.

Cellphones can use P2P and mining to pay for cellphone calls.

Healthcare systems can use P2P to cross consult with doctors worldwide to find solutions and in warzones online communication sometimes is the only way to access doctors.

Bitmessage can be used to send encrypted messages with namecoin becoming a decentralized domain system.

Ancient users will remember the days when Prism-break and projects like Illusion were used due to a privacy war.

Similar to the  Statement on Intellectual Freedom in Libraries can be the inital setting.

It is the most important responsibility of libraries to offer collected materials and library facilities to the people who have the Right to Know as one of their fundamental human rights. In order to fulfill their mission, libraries shall recognize the following matters as their proper duties, and shall put them into practice.
1.Libraries have freedom in collecting their materials.
2.Libraries secure the freedom of offering their materials.
3.Libraries guarantee the privacy of users.
4.Libraries oppose any type of censorship categorically.
When the freedom of libraries is imperiled, we librarians will work together and devote ourselves to secure the freedom

Schooling will be affected but not by P2P but the greater effect of online education
edX is only the beginning in Present Time by then the developments are at far larger scales that provide knowledge from multiple locations.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/harvard-mit-joining-forces-in-online-partnership-1.804095

Transit I can only ponder upon I would imagine that it would look cool or mix art with precision such as rideback with fully integrated tech some basic engineering such as collision detection artistic design etc.

http://caetanosilva.com/Akira-Bike
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB6h7snP8O8

Just one example of the possibilities haven't even mentioned cars I presume they will not be flying yet.
Floating perhaps using engine power from concentrated energy but not up to hard light yet.
Powered by atomic concentration of atoms, p2p somewhere in there.

AI WISE: Imagine something similar to Summer Wars
Land of Oz where we have virtual intelligence and people running the systems through visual communications screens but with wireless transmission of the bitcoins we could have Virtual Admins in an interactive system the blockchain can be the middle basically super p2p Smiley

Food Distribution: Depends on how you view it if the technology is sufficient enough automated food delivery systems could be launched at larger scales and they might work more efficiently decentralized but that is beyond our tech but who knows with the increases in processing power and the movements of robotics if you watch Daily Planet we might see that in higher frequencies in the not so distant future. The application of p2p technology to food distribution may be just as significant as the application of the Green revolution by reducing waste by-products in manufacturing and improving processing efficiencies.

Energy: Well that one is fascinating I can see applications of a decentralized power network spread through independant power generation but at scales large enough to create mesh networks the technicals would be interesting.

I wish it was as simple as saying microwaves but if you know your history microwaves fry cows over longer distances and power cannot be transmitted to satellites and resent back to recievers yet, unfortunately we are not in Halo and do not have the Orbital Defense platforms being powered from ground based power stations.

That said applications of decentralization to energy would prevent a single point of failure if the powers are not spread through wired transmission but through wireless instead.

The issue of soft energy is not yet settled but geothermal provides a base for heating energy, applications of it to a larger power generation becomes interesting could be moving parts example wheel rotation powering your car battery or something rarely considered such as the energy produced by friction in a number of different technologies applying it to some ideas.

Anyways went a bit long, best of luck with your book.

Not sure if this question is applicable but I will ask it to make sure.

Is this program safe to use regarding the issues with Android aka has it been patched?

Perhaps the next generation of Windows will come with Prism installed

It seems Big Brother beat you to it:

http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279262.0

Too bad people don't like Windows 8 and still use 7 then
And that sucks wonder how to delete the NSA virus

Hyperboria or whatever else meshnet style tech. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274018.0

I'm not sure I completely understand how it works but if it works to prevent PRISM from working effectively in Windows then that's fine with me.
Thanks for the idea.

You're facing other security issues with Windows, and it's worse than you can imagine. Don't delay, if you value your privacy, at the least get yourself onto noob-friendly Linux and don't look back. If you MUST use Windows for software package x, then use it offline. Windows, the internet and your privacy are not a reliable mix.

Great job for a summary short concise and to the point
I agree with the public ledger and pseudo-anonymous systems of exchange that can be traced and verified through the blockchain needing to be mentioned in more or less context.
