How to use Bitcoin anonymously AMA happening now.

[MemoryDealers]

I’m Kristov Atlas, Co-Founder of the OBPP. Ask me anything!

A few things about myself for anyone unfamiliar:

I’m a security engineer at Blockchain.info by day and privacy researcher by night.

I won’t be chatting about my work at Blockchain.info due to company policies, so if you have any BCI-specific questions please check out the AMA with Nic Cary on December 19th.

Some Bitcoin/cryptocurrency stuff I’ve done:
Co-founded the Open Bitcoin Privacy Project: http://openbitcoinprivacyproject.org
Wrote BIP 69
Wrote a book about Bitcoin privacy: http://anonymousbitcoinbook.com

Performed a privacy and code audit of Dash in 2014 (formerly known as “Darkcoin”)
Appeared on the Glenn Beck show with Jeffrey Tucker and Elizabeth Ploshay to talk about Bitcoin
Co-organized the Bitcoin Philadelphia meetup group for about a year
Gave a speech about the Silk Road and cryptographic free markets in Washington DC:
Participated in shows on the World Crypto Network YouTube channel including The Bitcoin Group and Dark News.

Some of my interests include:

This and the upcoming AMA's really need some more attention. Feels kinda bad no one had asked him anything in (what it looks like 5 hours).

Reddit where you at?!

the AMAs got alot of traffic already, not bad.

reddit (the bitcoin part) is censored too much so that is one reason why Roger build bitcoin.com .

Yeah I realize that, and I also know he bought the domain itself for $1mil. I just mean the reddit users that keep complaining about centralisation and theymos should move over to the other forum and start shooting the questions they've recently not gotten an answer to.

I am all for increased Bitcoin privacy. I think we need it to find the fungibility problem. Hopefully they don't take ages to make sidechains a thing and we can see confidential transactions soon. But it seems like nothing can be as anonymous as what Amir was trying to do with Darkwallet but unfortunately it seems the project has been frozen for years now for some reason.

Problem is the forum is a piece of shit.

Why would you think that?

if it's the layout you don't like, I don't think this one is that much better.

I would like a notification system on this forum as well that would notify me when someone quotes my posts. Would really help to get around the forum better.
Right now it's basically just opening up threads, checking what the last post was that you read and then continue from there. It's just a lot to remember.

Agreed, couldn't even open a thread last time I was there. Kept redirecting me to the landing page.

Looks ugly as well, or maybe I just got too used to how this forum looks.

I don't really think it's ugly. But atleast I don't see self-moderated threads everywhere and people deleting posts where people speak their mind about bitcoin and changes regarding it.
