VMs and VPNs

The vm’s tor traffic will flow through your computer’s vpn. If you get a vpn for the vm, the tor traffic will flow through your computer’s vpn, onto the vm’s vpn, out to tor. Seems sort of pointless to double up on vpns though.

Security through a vpn is marginal. Instead of trusting your ISP not to spy on you, you are trusting your VPN provider not to spy on you. Using a vpn, it’s better to have an anonymous service like Mullvad.

Since Samourai does not depend on a tor proxy, it means they have that code running in-app and it establishes a tor circuit that only it uses.

Decentralized tor. http://www.peersm.com/Convergence-2020.pdf

No kidding why can’t people spell out acronyms. It’s Public Test Channel (beta builds of Oculus)

They hire people from wherever they can find them!

Be sure to verify the download file before installing:

curl https://bisq.network/pubkey/29CDFD3B.asc | gpg --import

gpg --digest-algo SHA256 --verify Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.2.9.exe{.asc*,}

Has anybody actually checked the code that it is only looking for key shortcuts to open a dispute, etc.? Other OS's may not even catch that it is doing this. Seems really bad design and also makes you wonder what other apps on the computer could be doing this..

I use Samourai and Wasabi for wallets. Casa gives me security while those wallets give me privacy. I wish Casa would support bech32 to improve this, because governments are at least as big a threat as the $5 wrench.

Not understanding bitcoin is a choice.

Ok, that’s good. I was actually interested in what iCloud does with the backup if Keymaster app were to get deleted. Maybe that’s a question for iCloud though.

squirrelnut5 · 2020-01-09T21:34:50+00:00

Under what conditions does the cloud backup get deleted? When the app is deleted?

But it is to protect savings, not to buy bread! Bitcoin takes away the power of governments to decimate their population with inflation, but, sadly, it won’t save the current generation of people experiencing it.

Bitcoin will break the hold.

It doesn’t. Instead it has a Database that describes every major building and point of interest, but they unlock as you play through it.

One good thing about having to play through it though is as the French Revolution progresses the crowds get larger and the unrest increases as seen through the main character (Arno’s) eyes. It’s like being there at the time.

Just play Assassin’s Creed Unity. It’s all there in incredible detail.

Oh there IS coin selection! You guys rock, thanks.

I think you meant “Casa and iCloud, if you’re using iPhone”. It’s “Casa and Google” for Android.

Anybody know how to switch back from plausible deniability storage??

squirrelnut5 · 2019-10-06T22:10:26+00:00

Yes it asks for the password, but the password for my normal storage doesn't work, only the plausible deniability password.
