Just breaking
350+ Heads of State and 11 Million Documents leaked, exposed.
Telecoms falling on the wayside trying to stop the leak

Link?
The reaction to "panama papers" was also almost NIL.
Corruption? Noooooooo!!! Of course noooooooot 

The news of the Pandora papers came out yesterday. They said they would release names today. Several news agencies have known about it for months but were doing their due diligence and sifting through the several terabytes of data.

A few examples given were some rich folk that basically said that just because they have money in offshore accounts doesn't mean they're doing anything illegal. It is a common business practice to find the best jurisdiction for your business.

N00b mistake. They forgot to extend the domain?!
ROFLMAO.

$59 and zuck is your little whore? Tempting  

Doesn't look like it. More like someone nuked their DNS.  

Obviously they withdrew their own routes from BGP in an automation snafu, so basically they nuked themselves from the internet.

Funny quote from The Reg article:

New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel said she was "just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate the extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors."

You can't make such stuff up, doors don't open because fb.com is down.

Well, the other portion of my post that you cited was largely responding to the aspect of your post in which you were proclaiming a kind of current status of BTC consolidation that appeared like a kind of bearish wishful-thinking.  

I was actually thinking of it as a good thing and that we were going to break for the up. (which we did but retroactive predictions are meaningless). Consolidation often implies building a solid platform for the next leap.

hahahahaha

Nice recovery... (attempt)


By the way, to me consolidation implies that the price is largely going sideways within a range, and after a period of time, it could either break upwards or it could break downwards.

For sure if you presume that we are in a bull market, then you would presume that the odds would be greater that the break, when it comes, it going to be upwards... and the opposite would be true, if you presume that we are in a bear market.

Sure, many of the regulars here are presuming that we are in a bull rather than a bear market, but surely there are some closet bears out there too. and even some closet bears and even folks just looking for almost anything that they can in order to spread a bit of bitcoin naysaying upon the masses... You are not above such a historical practice, so I am not going to presume that you are any time soon graduating out of your bitcoin naysaying inclinations..... even if you might be feeling some wee bit of warmies and fuzziness at this particular moment.

Great minds think alike...

 

It is certainly something I have considered. There are several islands for sale in Panama. Though we are also considering movable versions of our floating homes so that could be a viable solution some day. A floating home that can sit in 5 meter waves allows you to live in a whole lot of places.

I'd imagine there were places with underwater 'islands'. How would those go for attaching seasteading to? Potentially eventually building them up to full islands?

They are called seamounts. And this is the subject of the next adventure that my crazy engineer friend is setting out on (the guy that built the seastead in Thailand).

They are useful because you can anchor on one while still being more than 200 miles from any nation which puts you in international waters.

Without seamounts it requires dynamic positioning systems which require energy.

Atlantis - Family Edition?  
Sounds rad. Must be a cool, freaky dude, your friend!

He and his lil friend probably need to snap back to reality a wee bit MOAR better - especially there are a lot of entities, whether nation states or otherwise, that are going to hardly give two ratt's asses whether you happen to be 200 miles off some shore (and supposedly in "safe" territories.. to be your own supposed "sovereign")..

yeah right   ...

You better get your lil friend to speak with my lil friend...   .

Only this time it's not accounts but whole companies, doing businesses for their wealthy clients - not in their name of course.
With the words of the beastie boys: another dimension (refrain from "intergalactic").

Me too. I'm all for revolution as much as the next guy but I would be surprised if this turns out to be more than a minor setback for them. This would explain the sudden slow-down of Telegram, they probably just onboarded a few million new users.

Again, why did you post a link to a youtube livestream, published under a fake instagram channel, with only this one video, which is framed by a crypto scam-site advert?

EDIT:

GTFO, Tash!

The end

Reminds me of this: Pied Piper Gets Hacked, Tres Commas Tequila - Silicon Valley

New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel said she was "just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate the extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors."

You can't make such stuff up, doors don't open because fb.com is down.

When keys are too mainstream

[nutildah]

This is the 60 Minutes interview with the FB whistleblower, interesting stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lx5VmAdZSI

She says she was motivated to accept the job after she lost a friend to online conspiracy theories. Imagine that such a thing was possible that obsessing about conspiracies could make people difficult to bear.

An estimated US$32 trillion (excluding non-monetary valuables such as real estate, art, and jewelry) may be hidden from being taxed, according to news reports.

If correct, roughly 32 times the Bitcoin market cap in tax evasion.

... he needs to check out the Wanganella Banks, located midway between Australia and New Zealand in the Tasman Sea, international waters

... the sea floor rises up to 10-30 metres beneath sea surface, due to Australia continental plate and Zealandia continent, i.e. mountains on the ocean floor

... has amazing fishing and probably good location for mid-way fibre optic cable station

About BTC being the greatest currency ever i also have to dissagree. I find Drachma the best currency , its resilliance against time and corruption has been second to none .

EDIT: At least Umbrel released a patch. Updating now.
EDIT2: ... and yes, sounding like a melodramatic bitch, my logs show many transfers below the dust limit, FWIW. Not sure what this means to my balance, as everything in the Lightning channels seems to be in some fucked up quantum state.
