+1984.   Well said!


You really think the name has anything to do with it? They could have named it "Save the children" wallet and the same journalistic slant
would have been made... we are talking about principled Anarchists here, who are openly attacking the status quo.

If you listen to the whole interview the main objection is that there isn't a backdoor placed within the Dark Wallet to give to the authorities for them
to Identify ISIS or any "criminals" whether it be Snowden, Assange or your friendly pot dealer. The Irony is that it was US and other nation states that originally funded and trained ISIS just like many other Terrorists groups. So the Interviewer keeps pressing for concerns about hypothetical uses of the dark wallet when instead of addressing the reason and source of this terrorist group.

You need to understand that even if we assume governments are not corrupt and have the best of intentions this doesn't address either their incompetence
or the existing laws that are unethical. Additionally, any backdoor written into the code is a huge security risk as ISIS, other dictators, and random hackers
can than exploit it for their personal benefit.

No, we are reclaiming the word "Dark" to reclaim our sovereignty. Dark wallet isn't "radical" or "fringe" as it merely allows us to do what we have been able to do for hundreds of years and participate in the global economy without being tracked.

We aren't going to reform the world by playing games with words and through dishonesty. These are the games of Karl Rove and other Corrupt politicians.

just another perspective from a potential employee of MinTruth ...
Needs to go to school and learn about paragraphs.


Guilty M'laud. My mining app cares nothing for paragraphs, even those in '1984'. I
delete paragraphs from my archived material unless I have a good reason to do otherwise. 

The real question, Mr Pot, is the correct shade of dark for the kettle, and whether
MinTruth is merely reporting the facts though biased eyes, or preparing propaganda?

I would submit that, absent any evidence that ISIS has used Dark Wallet to launder
money, what we have read is propaganda. In the interests of truth and transparency,
the article could have pointed out that Dark Wallet merely provides Bitcoin with some
of the attributes of fiat currency, and that the accusations made could as easily be
directed at the Bank of England, or the Federal Reserve Bank.
