I don't know what that means nor why it is silly to say.

Also, on the face of it, "LN directly via kraken" is self-contradictory. If it's direct, it wouldn't be "via" anybody.

https://gwern.net/dnm-arrest#silk-road-1-sr1 covers a lot of places but doesn't appear to include Bulgaria in 2011-2013, so it might be missing a handful of places or it might be the tip of the iceberg.

I see that a lot of US government resources went into the Silk Road case, but your case indicates it was a global effort. I admit I have not studied the case(s) much. I wonder who was really in charge of spearheading all that and how much went into it. It must have really upset them.

hah, i was just wondering whether there was VPS you could rent based in siberia

https://adelinahost.com/en/hosting/vps/russia/vmware_vps_in_novosibirsk_russia.shtml

pretty good prices too, though i expect if i use this as a VPN i'll get cloudflared to the max

still, maybe i could get something minimalistic based somewhere in the West and then tunnel everything through to one of these, cheap bandwidth only minimal VPS -> more capable thing that's actually in russia

gonna be looking into it, i think next month i need to think about what i'm doing with my infra

Polymarket predicts Ross pardon has a 68% chance in week one and 88% chance in first 100 days. Also only a 28% chance of ending Ukraine war in first 90 days. Those Ross predictions are pretty optimistic.

The attack reveals location within a few hundred miles, or perhaps tens of miles with the technique described, but it's not exactly deanonymization, right?

I like how nostr:npub189j8y280mhezlp98ecmdzydn0r8970g4hpqpx3u9tcztynywfczqqr3tg8 lets you disable "render all media inline automatically" entirely avoiding the problem. I also like how nostr:npub168euw93e4cam59llcmydav0akwjk2p4nfy3p85pn22xv9y2jxuzq4s9uaw helps you choose a location.

I just revealed myself to be a gossip user and a mullvad user. But all the relay operators already knew that.

More is probably revealed in my word, sentence, and paragraph structure.

Difficult today!

Another nice thing about monero is it can be mined with free/libre software on hardware you already own. No GPUs with their proprietary firmware, no specialized hardware. It is not profitable from a monetary accounting perspective but profitable in the general sense. Also p2pool.

So I said "no specialized hardware" but sometimes I wonder if some AMD employees had a hand in the proof-of-work design because their chips seem to be advantaged. When raptor's power9 (truly free/libre processor) came out it was going to be better for monero but then they changed the proof-of-work to the disadvantage of that processor and to the advantage of the less free/libre CPUs.

If I understand correctly, the events contain text and are stored and sent by relays, and so are less censorable because those events are available via many relays. The non-text media forms are sent as links in the events or links in the text and clients load them from their respective URLs. I cannot find a citation but I think this was a deliberate design decision because much problematic content is in images and videos, so by not directly relaying images and videos it lowers the risk (as well as resource requirements) for those who run relays. A lower burden to run a relay means more relays, more relays means a lower chance of censorship.

Can anyone point us to the link for the why? Maybe I'll find it later.
