bash mentioned ! ! !

Ok so I checked and it looks to be AI slop but I am not against the idea. Trading in some convenience for a little whimsy can be a good trade to make.

I mean I don’t think most epstein listers are pedophiles in the sense that they are only attracted to children, my guess would be that it is mostly either a kink for the power dynamic or the taboo. There are prob some exceptions tho

fyi the satanic temple is (also) founded by a eugenicist and their financials are incredibly murky, making it at least seem like all oonated money going directly to Greaves

I think the version of this that happens is mostly people making claims about a book they heard from somewhere. see: 1984

I find it very funny to see worm listed among the other “long books everyone says they read but didn’t” because I am 100% percent certain that literally noone outside of LW does that

as long as a paper manual exists…

stop doing x(originally stop doing math)

I don’t want to say anything that’ll get me banned, so I won’t. I just want you to know that I really really want to.

As I understand it, this happens cryptographically. Send keys can be added to form a larger key, which gets used to sign the pool of transactions. Because the signature used your key as well, the recipient can verify that they have received your coins(from a pool you signed). The important part is that it is impossible to tell who signed what part of the pool, just that one of the people in the pool did. Because all money is pooled together and sent at the same time, it is not possible to read from the amounts sent which transaction belongs to who.

I believe the way they deal with this is by having the recipient create a one-time address for every sender, so it is not possible to recognize patterns between senders and recipients. Another thing is that every wallet has two associated keys. There is a “spend key”, which is a write-only key that can spend money from the wallet, and a “view key”, which can be used to view the contents of the wallet. You can publish the view key if you want that to be public information, but you don’t have to.

If a diy hrt seller doesn’t accept obfuscated cash they are 100% a fed, but point taken

You might be right, I have not followed xmr closely. You might also notice that this vulnerability is unlikely to deanonimise you, but the point was more that it is a mistake they shouldn’t have made. Their last audit looks fine, though it was made by a blockchain auditing company which I don’t know. I don’t think there is much harm in using xmr for this, groups who would be capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in this kind of project are unlikely to do so, unless an issue of national security becomes associated somehow

xmr is a cryptocurrency which aims to make reading transactions from the chain impossible. Iirc the main mechanism of this is that they bundle a lot of transactions together and send out coins from that pool only once it is large enough, without preserving each specific coin. This repeats for a few proxies. You could trace a coin from origin to endpoint, but this would be pretty much useless as you cannot know whether the endpoint was the intended one or not.

fyi monero hasn’t had the best trackrecord on the cryptography front[1]

I am not certain if they have improved or not but I believe zcash tends to do a lot better on that front

¹better known by it’s german name

the comments also do not get it at all. The guy going “don’t say you have 99% percent credence in something¹, for most people saying that it’s a virtual certainty is the same thing” these people cannot speak as a non-cultmember for even a second

¹yeah don’t, nobody says that

In another world with my almost entirely different set of intelligence-promoting alleles?

although this is usually correct, here it is important for the joke that setup and punchline are seperated by anticipation.

Both servo and firefox now report the text correctly. I haven’t checked the response code on those, but lynx correctly reports 418:
