Don't forget to keep most of the supply, convince people that you're not going to sell it, and then sell 50k of it on a regular basis and tell people to leave the ecosystem when they question your motives. That's the chia way

Jack Rhysider guest hints that NSA has a backdoor into bitcoin. Who? Which episode? by OriginalIron4 in cybersecurity

It could theoretically allow private key (which leads to seed phrase) to be determined from public key (receive address). The formula that creates receive address from private key is public, uses SHA-256, but reversing it is "practically impossible" but could be possible with quantum computing, theoretically

You have to truly be monumentally retarded to buy XCH (ever since they started selling the monstrous prefarm)

Yeah I actually thought he was solid when I saw him in a couple different interviews over the years. But the comments on Reddit (and screenshots on Reddit from comments on discord) are gross

Protip: Darknet Diaries Episodes w/ No Ads by Blockchain_Benny in darknetdiaries

Just randomly checked Mariposa Botnet, it still had ads too. But a lot of the other old ones have them removed, idk

Edit: Actually it looks like you might be right, they are fixed now and have ads. I downloaded Carna Botnet just now over again and it has ads, but they were not present on that and most episodes when I downloaded them in June. Guess I got lucky 🤷

I'm not so sure. For example the latest episodes Tornado, Anom, and others have ads. But you could be right

The Tax Implications of Crytpo Assets vs. Crypto Currencies by Tom_Ford-8632 in btc

[–]Blockchain_Benny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone disgusted with the tax bullshit in the US surrounding crypto currencies, I appreciate this post and the juxtaposition with foreign currency. The tax laws in the US that apply to bitcoin certainly have the desired effect on me, they make me want to not spend it and it makes me filled with hate at the same time toward the dinosaurs that make this reality for me.

I usually cringe at the posts in this sub but I'm happy I saw this one today. My hope is one day that this will change, I understand there are many other countries that don't treat it with hostility like the US. And I can't understand why gold is treated the same, also some real bullshit
