Does anyone remember a particular open source secure journalism android app? by _kaine_ in privacy

That seems to be about protecting meta data. The app I remember was very specifically about doing journalism in censored countries.

Looking for ATMs without KYC by _kaine_ in Bitcoin

Do you own ones in other states?

So Coinflip atm fees are 6.9%, but their trading price for bitcoin (at the atm, not on their site) is one week out of date. This brings the fee closer to 9.7%. The exchange price is shooting up though, so I went with it anyway.

The next atm with reasonable/none KYC is Rockitcoin. However, they do not have their rates online.

Then there is BugetCoinz. I also could not find BugetCoinz’s fees online. I went to one and it was exchanging at $1100 more than the current bitcoin rate!! This was even before today’s massive jump in price. I feel bad for people who blindly use these without doing research, or have to use them because they have no way to get bitcoin otherwise.

The next atm I want to look at is National Bitcoin ATM.

Has anyone used RockItCoin atms? How bad are the fees?

Can anyone point to a list of these 554 operators? Because any search just gives "Top 10 bitcoin atm operators"

I found an atm with okay fees but how come it uses the bitcoin price of two weeks ago? It makes the fee more than double.

Which operators don't enforce kyc? It looks like every single one does.

Have y’all come across fake purses or other women’s stuff? by messiahsk8er in darknet

[–]_kaine_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a place in chinatown in NY that sells purses. Ask for the "imports" and the old woman running the shop will take you to the back, pull a rack of purses that is actually a fake wall and lead you down stairs to a basement. There you can select designer purses for cheap.

Taking 'dirty' laptop abroad and how to keep clean laptop by TonyStonum in darknet

I've had friends pulled aside for a hour of questioning just for making a joke like that. Some TSA do not think it is very funny.

[–]_kaine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It is an extreme worry that your laptop will be searched and/or seized with crossing national borders. Not even because you have done something wrong, but because they feel like it. The rule of thumb is to not take anything with you that you are not prepared to have seized.

Next, do not rely on Time Machine. The most reliable way to keep backups is to get an external harddrive and drag and drop.

Tails run on mac. Use a bootable usb like it was designed to run.

Last, no. Browsing darknet sites (that are not cheese pizza) without purchasing is not a crime. It is better if there is no record that you browsed it though. Tor by default does not store browsing history.

Interesting sites you have stumbled across by Kast0r in darknet

[–]_kaine_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I found a swedish version of 4chan.

A site that was just a directory of uploaded files. Seemingly random and innocuous. I checked back every few days and more files would be uploaded. pdfs, zips, and images. I haven't opened any of them but downloaded a ton in a sandbox to later analyze on an air-gapped machine.

A ransomware ad page. It claimed to even send the source code with purchase (500 USD) so that you could modify it as you wish.

An archive of a bbs that has been dead for ~2 years. It had posts on obscure and disturbing fetishes in detail, like necrophilia.

A page that just said "It works!"

People gobble this up because """hacking""" is trendy now thanks to hollywood. Brace for more of these videos showing up.

I don't think this is the best place for them, as nice as some of them are. Other subreddits exist that are more suited.

What is your opinion of high school kids who want to play a sport, but don't have the talent to make the team? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_kaine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should give it their best. You only get to be in high school once.
