Question. Will using a vpn on a cellie do anything to mask my transactions? For that matter, does it on a regular pc?

https://gizmodo.com/5990192/vpns-what-they-do-how-they-work-and-why-youre-dumb-for-not-using-one

Fine. Except we don't know how many (nor which ones) of those VPN service providers are controlled by evil actors. So while it does help in some way, it also is not the panacea.

https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn

You know that openvpn is just the software and you need to connect to a VPN service provider... don't you?

P.S.: And if you meant that you can run the server side too and connect to your own VPN, that's not what we are discussing here as it completely defeats the purpose of masking your own transactions.

It's only half an hour ago and I've already forgotten what point I was trying to make. I bow to your judgment.

ugliest watch ever.

i did look through the richardmille watch site, the one with dragon figures seemed okish

but $800k+ for a watch. lulz. no matter how rich i became, i would never pay that for a watch.

now, i could see myself with one of those olde skool red LED watches from the 70's.. press the button to light up the time. THOSE were cool.

The SWATCH? LOL

No, wait, that was the 80's, but I liked the interchangeable plastic wrist bands.

I was watch shopping last year in Vegas, note that when you're in Cartier in Caesars, and they say they don't have what you want, but the Wynn probably does you're talking 150btc+. Bit much for my tastes, but beautiful stuff.

I'd recommend a 1960's Hamilton Electric, Titan or Ventura. The fact that you can keep it running will point you out as a man of means. :-)

Ha Fontas and the troll box. Whatever happened to him?

Ha Fontas and the troll box. Whatever happened to him?

In  late 2013 fontas' pumps kept getting shittier and shiiter. They degraded to a 2 hour period where he'd tell the troll box "pump starts now" and then "dump starts now" and you'd get this 2 hour bart chart. At some point he was selling memberships to learn about his pumps ahead of time for 25BTC each but by that time it was like a bad joke or a scam because his "pumps" were so terrible. He was supposed to make it up and have a super pump of litecoin on mtgox. Litecoin never opened on mtgox but then China took over and pumped it into the stratosphere way further than gox or fontas ever could have. I think he saw that with China on board with all the altcoins, he could no longer be in control, and he quietly disappeared. I saw him continue to make charts about other asset classes (like forex) on TradingView. I'm going to also guess that he wanted to distance himself from crypto for legal concerns and mixer his way out while he still could and the whole btce crime ring was still undercover and operational.

Ahh the old midas is coming with the LTC. Always thought that he was a scam, and the only one making money by offloading when "pumps are turned on". Oh well another page in cryptocurrency book

I can remember a picture about/with Fontas. I was unable to retrieve it though. Something with lotsa $$$ bills.

This tweet from Charlie Lee has surprised me:

He was millionaire before Bitcoin? Surprising. Anyone knows what he was doing before?

That would make for it yeah. Also probably he is older than he looks like (in fact in recent pictures he does).

Apparently this. Moving from Shanghai at that time would not have been a straight forward process.

Lee was born in the Ivory Coast to parents who had moved there from Shanghai. He spent most of his childhood there, but in his early teens, he moved to the United States. He attended the Lawrenceville School before graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a B.S. and master’s degree in Computer Science.

After college, Lee worked as a software engineer at Kana Communications, Guidewire Software, and Google before starting his crypto career.

A million dollars isn’t that much in the scheme of things.  That’s half a house in Vancouver, Canada.   Probably a third of a house in Silicon Valley.   It’s not even a downpayment in London unless you are an hour from the City.

If you would have any idea how hard is to get into that group that works for "Google Ideas" you would never say that. Each and every one in that group on the right has intellectual capacity you can only dream of. Jealousy is dangerous thing, when you want to be like someone but you don't have the necessary capabilities easiest thing to say is to bring them down, which only shows the kind of person you are.
