YOu ever notice how posts like that never actually talk about the good things about cryptos? Nope, just like silkroad, now this is the new thing with the lapdog media. FUNDING TERRORISTS!!!! OMG OMG! Yet lets ignore the billions our own governments funnel indirectly to the very same people. I think the important thing for XC from that article, is that it is recognized by CoinDesk as a leader in privacy & anonymous transactions.

To commodify ethicality is to ethicise the market

Something to potentially quote when the idea of blockchain-based terrorism is raised:
It is abundantly clear that the blockchain opens up an entirely new realm of benefits and risks. It is a radical game-changer.
But while the power of blockchain-based technology is immense, and while there are clear use-cases for it that are unethical, this does not amount to any kind of warrant for the alternative: vast data mining of personal information, internet architecture not optimised to protect individual liberty and privacy, and the opportunity for any party sufficiently powerful to abuse human rights to get its way.
To cast blockchain technologies as unethical due to the risks is therefore unwarranted because the alternatives are not more ethical. It's also to refuse to play a game that, henceforth, the world simply has no option but to play. Blockchains are here, and there's no making them go away.
So onward is the only option presented to the world. As such, XC is committed to the ethical use of its technology. Just as legal systems and taxation are "technologies" that regulate the old systems, completely new technologies, conceived along radically different political lines, will be required to allow humanity to thrive in a blockchain-based world. This is the irresistible future, and XC will co-create it with the highest and most optimistic of expectations.

quoted from the coindesk story:http://www.coindesk.com/isis-bitcoin-donations-fund-jihadist-movements/ “This system has the potential to revive the lost sunnah of donating to the mujahideen, it is simple, easy, and we ask Allah to hasten its usage for us.” http://media.giphy.com/media/RgYEKFEYUpfkQ/giphy.gif

Snowden revealed yesterday that every person who googled about tor is classified as an extremist. What do you think is your classification if they found out that you have used the tor service already?

http://xc-official.com/pobc/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=630547.msg7458929#msg7458929POSA https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637704.0Whitepaper.pdf... which you should have already read if you support cloak. This document provides a high level overview of the process flow and operation of the solution, but is not a publicly shared detailed technical design document as we would like to provide a proper functioning implementation before inferior clone attempts appear The staking and anonymization protocols are merged. Nodes and something clever. If you are buying coins without researching you are gambling. You should also be comparing Rev 2 to PoSA, not PoBC. PoBC is down the road. You'll have to get Jasin to give a layman's. Simply put, Rev 2 puts XC ahead of Dark in terms of tech. 2 months vs 6 months, I believe. I am not bashing. Dark Rev 4 should be end of July. You'll see some bounties to test rev 2 and more discussion in the near future. PoSA is expected in a few days due to the issues, you'll have to wait until then. I do like Cloak for the one market idea. Rev2, Rev 4... this is like xbox and ps.

go to your Anoncoin and FUD there It's not fud, it just shows a problem with governments. Do you really think that if they are branding everyone who uses tor as extremist then you aren't doing the same for Bitcoin/crypto enthusiasts?
