Torrent looks dead here.

Looks like ISPs are blocking it, use I2p (BiglyBT).

 I used utorrent and a VPN starting the download shortly after the link was posted.  It took a while to get going but I was seeing  some pretty good download speeds after a while and dozens of peers.  I had to get sleep for work today so I set it to shutdown when complete and it wasnt running when I checked before work.  I cant wait to check it out tonight.  Based on my preview as it was downloading, Romania was spared.

I prefer not to trust third parties like VPN's, it gives a false sense of security.

Pretty much why we are here is it not to use trust-less systems?

 I suppose I could be more careful but the VPN I chose doesnt log my info and I dont have to do any configuration to have it work properly.  I'm afraid I would mess up an I2P install and end up more insecure than having to trust a VPN.  It's too late now anyway.  You guys know I downloaded it! Now I have no choice but to trust.

VPNs are Lying About Logs

https://restoreprivacy.com/vpn-logs-lies/

A recent court case in Massachusetts has once again proven that some VPN services with “zero log” policies are indeed keeping logs and handing this information over to authorities.

https://www.allthingssecured.com/vpn/truth-about-vpn-logging-policies/

Is there such a thing as a zero log VPN? The short answer is no, there isn’t. In fact, these companies are flat out lying to you when they claim they are a no log VPN. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the more you understand VPN logging, the better prepared you can be to secure yourself.

You guys are aware there are hardware paper wallets nowadays? Don't ever type (or store, the horror!) your seed words keys into a computer device. Ever.

i wonder if there are records for those who "deleted" facebook and yet are still in the database.

Yes, I found a guy that has been dead since 2006.

OK, but did he or one of his relatives make sure that his account got deleted?
I have got a FB account without phone number (not using the mobile app) that got deleted on my request early 2018. I would be interested if my data is included in the leak(s), but i can't find a vital download source atm.

Muchas gracias 
I have downloaded and checked, neither me nor my wife, which is still active on FB, is in the file(s). We both never used and mobile version and i constantly reminded her not ever to enter her real name or telephone number.

Looks like ISPs are blocking it, use I2p (BiglyBT).

Not too important - it was just for the fun of checking if there's anyone I know, but here's what happened.

I thought: "Blocking DHT? Strange. Never happened here before."

So I installed BiglyBT, got the torrent started without a problem. Stopped BiglyBT, copied the peers over to my usual torrent client, that couldn't start to begin with, and now it's finishing the job. I think I'm making the torrent available to a larger crowd now - though I might be wrong. What's up here?

Careful, they may port block you now if your doing it in the clear.

Funny, nothing illegal about the data but they try their best to protect institutions like facebook.

The thing I don't understand: BiglyBT just got started on the new torrent as if it was nothing. I didn't even istall i2p. Does BiglyBT install and use it out of the box? Evidently (most of?) the peers weren't on i2p: they smoothly copied over to the regular client, and I can see they're using Vuze, qbittorrent, etc: regular clients. Se it doesn't seem like an ISP issue at all. Why wouldn't my own client work though? I gave it a dozen hours to get the DHT business done, and it didn't even get one peer address until I spoonfed them.

I would recommend running biglybt for the i2p when you need it and the longer you run it the more trusted you become and the more bandwidth you will receive.

for those interested here is a decent article, I2p really needs to be supported and torrenting in the clear needs to die.

https://torrentfreak.com/biglybt-is-the-first-torrent-client-to-support-the-bittorrent-v2-spec-201011/

I think I understand the issue, and I am a supporter. Tor alone is not enough. We need as many independent resilient networks as possible - i2P, tor, freenet etc. I used to run (and thus help) freenet in the past, but I haven't migrated it to my new box (yet). I couldn't live without Tor. I think one of i2p's strength is being small. It has a whole different set of strengths and vulnerabilities compared to Tor, so it's very much needed diversification IMO.

And even then you are being nice, how long could it take for someone to memorize 12 to 24 seed words in the right order? Even if it took a whole month now you can move your coins without bringing anything with you and instead of measuring this on grams we should do it in neural connections.

One question how much can we trust these third party wallets then? Specially these wallets on our mobile apps. Although they give us access to the private keys but still can we trust them? I have been using Jaxx. But often I will open my wallet to confirm my coins are still there or some developer of Jaxx have already transferred my funds to some cold wallet :p

Ideally you want an open-source wallet so you can at least have some hope that someone without vested interests has had a look.

#1 Coinbase (and surprisingly there's an ad for Coinbase)
#2 PointPay Banking Wallet - WTF is that?
#3 Binance chain (BNB)
#4 Trezor
#5 Bitfinex
#6 Paxful wallet

yeah ok, any site that puts Coinbase wallet before Ledger is just for lolz. Don't try to confuse noobs if they want a wallet get a coldcard or something from here https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

LOL.  Every time I search Lauda’s voluminous post history for random keywords, I find more evidence that the cat was a divine presence that this forum did not deserve.

Sorry Lauda

you no longer meet the minimum requirements to occupy pixels on my display

Yawn. You contributed nothing to this place in 7 years, therefore you might as well royally fuck off with your libtard bullshit - being worthless and all. Cheerio.

It must be depressing to be a conservative. 

Times have changed. The libtards are destroying society.

Wtf exactly is a “libtard” anyway ,ffs?
It has the ring of some juvenile term a 10 year old would come up with,
along with sticking out their tongue and waving hands with thumb in ears.....

Nice poisoning of the well. I assume you support libtard views based on that response. 

Damn, where is V8s? 

It must be depressing to be a conservative.  In the long run, you always lose the culture wars:

It must be exhausting to be constantly on the wrong side of history

You are beginning to show signs of cottoning on, so partial congrats.
It is indeed quite exhausting and sometimes depressing keeping standards up, fighting for calm, common sense and decency, batting away immature boundary-testers with our innovative blue-died water, our cunning fire-setting in the jungle and our nods to your 'diversity' in the very House of Commons.
While I am delighted you seem to think these seeming gains for socialism counter the deals we make behind the scenes which actually run the world, I am saddened that you show no signs of knowing how long the long run is. I demand a more far-thinking opponent.

[Kylapoiss]

Yeah, where's V8? I've only been away for 2 years or so.

A bonus protip.. you do not become richie by selling your BTC.

Without selling any BTC how you will be rich then? Of course selling all will be stupid.. but you have to sell sometime... world still runs on fiat...  (and Merc, GMC, Toyota, Honda etc)

Surely the implication of my above snipe is in regards to selling all or selling too much too soon.

Of course, also, there is a need to figure out a kind of balance, but in these times, there should be goals of figuring out accumulation goals and attempting to manage such accumulation goals.  Once you have achieved your BTC accumulation goals (and perhaps even over-accumulating) then you have a lot more flexibility in terms of selling portions or reallocating or whatever.

Bonus protip 2:  attempting to accumulate BTC by selling BTC is quite likely a very much inferior strategy to DCA buy, buy on dip and HODL -

Bonus protip 3:   Like any rule there are exceptions, don't automatically believe that you are going to be able to fit within the exceptions - until you have mastered and understood the basics first - which in BTC are DCA buy, buy on dip and HODL.

if all you do is buy to acquire BTC

DCA & buy dip HODL are best.

Of course, there are some other ways to acquire BTC, such as getting paid for providing goods or services or mining.. but I am largely trying to focus in on the implicit suggestions of some of the various earlier posts that seem to be battling with where exactly selling fits into any bitcoin strategy, and surely I am trying to emphasize that if you have not yet reached your accumulation goals then selling with a hope of buying back lower remains a kind of gambling approach rather than a prudent approach...

Sure, on this particular point, philip, you and I seem to NOT be very far apart, and in the end, guys can do whatever they want, even though maybe both you and I will be suggesting them to be fools if they are regularly and ongoingly fucking around with selling some or any large portion of their BTC in order to attempt to buy back lower.

To think you can buy the Dip  sell the peak Wait for the crash and buy in real low is a pipe dream.

Sure it can work for some people, but it does not tend to be a very good practice - unless done very limited in scope, and many of us recommend staying completely away from such an approach, like you are saying because with a long enough time-frame (historically at least 4 years), BTC has historically tended to go up in price - and there are no real signs that such ongoing UPpity trends are NOT going to continue, even if there are no guarantees with any investment, including bitcoin - even when the odds of going UP and continuing to go up and to pay off with ongoing investing into it, seems to be quite decently well in the whole scheme of things

Even though I mine for most of my BTC

I buy dips on PayPal for PAYPAL btc
I DCA  on coinbase.

It does seem a bit strange that you have likely been into bitcoin since 2012 - presumably by your forum registration and you are still in BTC accumulation mode - and even more surprising given your age, too..

You likely have a decent amount of mistakes were made considerations in terms of some selling too much bitcoin in early days.  I mean I can imagine sub $10 bitcoin and just being able to have a decently sized stash from those kinds of prices..

sure, I personally got into bitcoin at around $1,200 and was able to buy quite a few coins in the 3 digits including getting a coin or so at $180 in the January 2015 dip, but still I probably only shortly brought down my average BTC price to around $400 before it ended up shooting up to about $750 based on one of my mistakes were made situations... that involved hackings and some failures to adequately security my sim porting situation.. and I had not realized it as such a powerful attack vector prior to suffering from it...

right now coinbase has a nice setup a $50 usd weekly buy and they give you $10 on 4th and 8th buys.
so 420 worth of btc for 400 via a weekly DCA of eight weeks.

And those are not bad incentives (bonuses) for folks trying to reach their BTC accumulation goals.
