Why privacy matters

[Starkick]

Would you like others to see what's inside your underwear? I believe you don't like that. All of us needs privacy in our life.

Sounds great! These words can also explain my opinion on a closed source code. It became so popular to run all the new apps with an open source, but 1st - it's hard to monetize, 2nd - your idea can be stolen by the more experienced team, which will develop a better project and all your work will be simply ruined.

YES, overall closed source is much better than open source. And this is not only because no one will steal your idea. Often the customers themselves make changes to the open source and only add work to the developers.

Something like that, but fin general I meant was that closed source is more secure and much harder to crack. I would even say that this is almost impossible to do. So I choose this option

In general, companies don't sell open source software. Companies that provide open source software sell support and consulting.

Many companies develop, use, or contribute to open source software because there are many benefits to letting others contribute to code you use and there is often no benefit to keeping it secret. Netflix is a great example. Much (though certainly not all) of the software they develop is open source.

"Almost impossible"? That statement is false.

Closed-source software is not more secure. It is frequently cracked. Keep in mind that even closed-source software is accessible, perhaps not in its original form, but certainly in a form that can be analyzed and exploited.

Open-source software is safer because unlike closed-source software, there are many people looking at its security.

On the contrary, I saw information that closed source code is safer. Just because of its closed nature, and even code fragments are not shared. Although, I do not really understand this, maybe you are right.

in reality I have nothing to hide but it bothers me very much that others see and are interested in my activities on the internet regarding cryptocurrencies which is why for me privacy is fundamental

For sure you can choose what to share and what not. But it's hard when it goes to big corporations, that like to collect all the data. And when it goes to financial questions, it's better to use something encrypted as a small lack of information can lead to disaster.

Yes you are right. the internet is not a place to talk about privacy. The same goes for smartphones, surveillance cameras and more.

[Sethrey]

Yes you are right. the internet is not a place to talk about privacy. The same goes for smartphones, surveillance cameras and more.

Then where is the right place? Do you have much privacy in a real life? And in internet you can get it, no matter how wondering does it sound. You just have to do a great work and refuse from all the popular services online

[daneal stev]

We all concern us with privacy and protect ourselves when we work on the Internet, and it is good that Altecoin and alternative currencies provide the advantage of privacy and anonymity. In addition, you can protect ourselves and your privacy by using a paid proxy or a free VPN, but the paid proxy is safer. You can also protect yourself by using private browsers to hide the user’s identity, such as Tor Browser, and you should beware of sites that request to send personal information such as a passport photo or a picture of personal identity because it is possible that these sites are fraudulent and their aim is to steal personal information only

Even my son knows it. I believe that among all the popular services there is not a single really safe one. Everyone collects personal data in one way or another and monitors the activity of their users.

That would be interesting to everyone who's interested in Utopia p2p. An official interview with its developers was published https://medium.com/@utopiaP2P/utopias-creators-speech-5dce0047a3d6 Now we can find the answers to some of our questions. They still remain anonymous, but shared some interesting info.

Everyone in here matters their privacy, specially when it comes online because people you trust your identity into such as cetralized exchanges that requires us to submit a KYC before we could use their platform. I prefer that exchanges nowadays won't require a KYC but instead make them choose between submitting a KYC or not after all they just want their users to be safer but it's best for their clients to choose if they submit or not.

I only use VPN whenever connecting to a public WiFi for example free WiFi's on a cafe etc.
For my browser I use both Brave and the new Microsoft Edge just because they block ads and trackers. They also use less of your computer's memory and CPU which is nice.

[akram143]

Almost every apps are monitoring the user and mainly their location so I guess using of VPN will not be really helpful at that situation, either you need to uninstall the apps or forget about the privacy.But if we are surfing through browser on such sites it is possible to maintain our privacy with VPN subscriptions or usage of TOR.

There are lots of spaces to have real privacy in real life compared to the internet. You can't even compare both in that area. And it depends on where you live really.
You can be private in your physical home.. . Any stranger who disregards this and breaks into your home without your permission or without good reason has violated your privacy, plus others violations/crimes. The stranger could easily be penalized if you want to.     But it's pretty easy to violate this privacy on the internet in similar fashion (for example breaking into someone private properties like laptops, phone, internet devices etc) and not seen as a serious criminal. This makes the internet more dangerous than the real world esp in privacy area.

[Salauddin1994]

The number of hackers has increased in almost every field of work so privacy is very important to protect one's personal information. Internet users are now taking personal privacy seriously conscious Internet users hide their identities when participating in sensitive open discussions online and use other names in chat rooms to keep their identities secret. This allows them to easily track IDs and information which is why privacy is so important.

Damn, who are these guys and why are they hiding their faces? They are definitely pursuing good goals and they see they have enough money. I don't think there are many such people in the world. I tried to find information about them, but I couldn't.

[SMB1098]

as for VPN, i suggest NordVPN

Of course you couldn't find any info Now we have 2 people to look for: Satoshi and Utopia devs. Maybe it's one person? And he really prepares the next Bitcoin, but no one believes in it. That's why I'm mining the Crypton as who knows what will happen next

“A society in which people can be monitored at all times is a society that breeds conformity and obedience.” says Greenwald. For this reason I use monero

Yet no privacy and that is why we go forward in cryptocurrency because of this privacy.even what coins you are having but chooses to send KYC or other required by platforms still you are not private.

as for VPN, i suggest NordVPN

will check this one later because my VPN seems very slow nowadays.
