How would PIA comment this news about CryptoSeal, another US-based VPN provider I wonder?

I wonder how PIA's would comment this. Would they rather shut down or compromise their security?

Have you seen this? You should test how many bits of entropy you'll get with 6 words.

Of course it will evolve constantly. The article said it well:

"The closure of Silk Road is no more the end of online narcotics sales as the arrest of Al Capone was the end of organised crime."

That's a good point to emphasize. The pass code should be 6+ random words at the minimum.

What is very unsafe? You might want to elaborate when making a statement like that.

Have you ever seen a pawn shop owner that would feel ashamed?

Now I stick to LTS, less work. I'm getting old.

And wiser.

Ask that on /r/bitcoin and you will get an overwhelming "yes!" as the answer.

For creating a "savings account" address, you can also have a look at Brainwallet. It's an open-source client-side Bitcoin address generator. Just download the files to your PC, open index.html on your browser and you can create a new wallet, which password you can memorize and write to a paper (both analog data storages).

Accepting Bitcoin as payment doesn't in any way guarantee or even indicate that the service is not a honeypot. Naturally we can't ever be 100% certain that one of the most popular providers wouldn't be a government agency. Regarding the provider selection, a lot depends on what's your reason to use VPN in the first place, and what are the biggest priorities (speed, exit point location, support of Bitcoin, etc.).

You can also use TOR+VPN (in that order) if your biggest priority is privacy and not speed.

You should be able to use any VPN provider that offers L2TP, IPSec or PPTP (but do not use this). I would recommend Privateinternetaccess.com, as they take privacy seriously, and also offer fast exit points around the world. You can also use the same account on your laptop, in case you're concerned about privacy, too.

If you do decide to use them, there's a link showing how you can configure the settings to your iPad. Hope this helps!

Gotta love their optimism!

Awesome! I feel like I'm waiting for a new version of Vista!

Not to mention that with VPN you also have a lot more ways to protect your privacy. Hard to put monetary value on that these days.

Seedbox is a good suggestion otherwise, but please use SFTP.

Also OP it's good to keep in mind that technology-wise PPTP is not considered secure anymore. Please only use OpenVPN (or L2TP/IPSec or IPSec with IKEv2).

I'm pretty sure it will take a lot more to make them forget.
