Err, just start a bounty thread?

Using that guy as a sacrificial lamb isn't exactly what I called, anarchistic. Unless, he agreed to cover for the real leaker.

Updated my analysis.

A top secret anarchist cabal penetrated the US government. It's simple really.

I don't have money but I think we should set up a bitcoin bounty for security, like I been suggesting everywhere. It will be a start.

People already put up links about BitDNS.

It may allows us to unfold our wings.

Beside, what is done, done. Bob182 already talked to a person within the wikileak organization.

But there are much safer route to unfolding our wings.

Please note, this is a revised version of an email that I sent to a guy who know something about security.

--------------
1. Who are our adversaries?

Corporations who have their business destroyed by bitcoin competition, or in the process of getting destroyed. Government who are keen to control their economy through central banking.


2. What are their capabilities?

Security and cryptanalysis knowledge. Nation-state level resources. Ability to use force and threats to keep people in line.

3. What are our countermeasure?

Network effect; strength in number. Promoting, and growing the economy.

Security and cryptanalysis knowledge. Constant discussion about security.

Decentralization effort such as BitDNS. I open sourced my prediction market; however, we do not have open source exchange markets and other critical infrastructure.

The head cannot be easily cut off. The authority will find it difficult to haul away Satoshi Nakamoto, but it cannot be said the same for other people. Already growing the number of hacker who know how bitcoin work and can improve it.


4. Measures we could take:

Create a dedicated tiger team whom jobs is to find security flaws within the network.

Offer security bounties as incentives.

Open source key infrastructure such as trading sites.

Create protocol documentation.

"Kill switch" for bitcoin banks system. (Really, it mean that everyone who hold bitcoin balance on the behalf of somebody else.)

I suggest assembling a tiger team or make security bounties or do both.

But, you have to remember that the security of the network also come from the strength of people running it. So, wikileaks might add more legit computing power rather than cheating nodes, or not. It's hard to know.

Brute-force attacks are least likely. We probably have some bugs lurking in the system.

Success is not guaranteed; access risk; act wisely; remember knowledge gaps.

It's funny to see a miniarchist libertarian say "Bring it on" when anarchists like me are advising cautions.

It look like I am right, people throw cautions to the wind.

There's alway a leader of some kind. It might be a person with a high reputation.

I am using this document as the BitDNS bounty's protocol document.

A....USB drive!

And the whiteboard is actually a monitor. Maybe I should put some stuff in there...

For some reason, we lack programming manpower.

Nobody is doing an android client, for example.

Security is not made by invading foreign nation and inadvertently increasing heroin production in the process, inadvertently killing more Americans through heroin overdose...

Since I woke up, I been hard at work cleaning the image up and practically redrew some of the features such as the eyes. If you had been keeping my artwork through out the evolution, you would have notice the cleanness and sharpness of the face compared to the scan.

So here's my work for today, which had been resized from its ungodly large scan:

Price is 0.10 BTC.

We can't have this for the community do we?

It's more fun to think of Satoshi as the awesome badass hacker with a secret mission to destroy money monopoly rather than just an ordinary hacker who got a really good idea how to destroy money monopoly and decided it would be risky..

hmm....
