Discussion

I am writing a crypto thriller. In it a project and it's team need to stay off the radar. What are the most essential dos and don'ts?

Don't use smartphones. Use radios capable of digital texts using satellites and the APRS network.

Avoid anything with the word "bitcoin" on it, that is a (literally) a fedcoin without privacy.

Learn about monero, try mining some of it yourself using gupax: https://gupax.io/guide/ (decentralized mining)

Looking forward to its release.

Planning on hardcopy?

When is this out and where to buy? Will you provide a sample of a few pages? Looking forward to it.

When? Soon but not sure exactly, trying to get the logistics setup. Yes had planned to have samples available before it's out
