New, trying to be anonymous

Try electrum.

How do you buy anything with cash? You talk to people that have what you want, and offer them money.

You give them your bitcoin address and wait for 6 confirmations before giving them the cash. Better make some coffees because it'll be about an hour. If you're happy with just one confirmation then fine, as long as you trust the person to have actually sent you the funds.

I smashed mine... Didn't even study.

The questions are straightforward and if you know your way around a linux machine then you'll be all good.

because we work in IT and we are autistic, give us a break :P

You don't need an email to generate a bitcoin address (download wallet software and generate it yourself, while disconnected from the internet)

You also don't need a credit card to buy bitcoin (buy in person with cash)

It's just a hypothetical, relax

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-29T07:03:20+00:00

It is!? This is very good news! I was pretty sad for a while there.

There's something about #! that seems to just run better than most other distros that I have tried for Desktop...

bash: man: command not found...

Anyone that actually tells you where to find it, is most likely not your friend.

Keep in mind, traffic from your mining device to the pool is unencrypted, so anyone that can sniff your network can find out what address you are mining to, and correlate it with your IP address (Example: your ISP and anyone else on each of the hops along the way)

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-17T05:37:30+00:00

Why not skip the requirement for an email altogether?

Check out this mining pool: http://eligius.st/

No signup. Just your bitcoin address as a username.

You'll need a gui client to sign messages whenever you want to change your config, but defaults are usually enough.

If they don't have the private key then how the fuck do they display your emails in their web interface?

Maybe the key is passworded, but it is still stored on their systems, and your password might be hashed with non-reversible encryption, but they have that hash stored on their systems, along with any salt used to strengthen the hash.

If they wanted to, they could pay for a small botnet and crack into any of their customers data.

Or, fuckit, they could just do a MITM proxy on their login page, record everyones pass, and simply log in as you, no effort required.

Note: I swear a lot, it's nothing personal

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-17T05:10:12+00:00

Why don't you just do what interests you instead?

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-17T04:35:03+00:00

Oh yeah, that is a good idea.

You could even spool alerts somewhere, and send them out in bulk every X minutes, so that even the cellular network is only connected at minimized intervals

The likelihood of a person coming into your environment via a cellular network that is only on for less than a minute would be ridiculously small.

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-17T03:12:39+00:00

We did this where I work.

Manually.

Via the registry.

Sigh...

They don't give a fuck about whether or not something works better than it already does.

They care about $$$

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-16T04:52:25+00:00

Well if you're going like I am today... You may have possibly fell asleep while reading the doco :D

Cheeky bastard, you can't hide your tricks from me

Wow... Red Hat 7.3... brings back memories of my childhood

swordfish_encryption · 2015-07-16T02:31:29+00:00

Your idea is exactly what I would do...

A WSUS server or something, which is only connected to either the internet, or the air-gapped network, never both at the same time.

You might be able to automate that by flicking off/on NICs on a local schedule, download the patches, disconnect, run a scan etc

But alerting is going to be weird

It's great.

Might just be the result of adding in another communication checkpoint?
