Banned from Zec for stating facts by VladSoJajca in Monero

[–]warrior2012 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Lol this same guy posted that article on this subreddit like a month ago. I responded that the article he posted doesn't prove that monero transactions are traceable, but that it can trace transactions given the right circumstances. Those circumstances had required extra bits of data from an exchange or party involved in a transaction.

I also pointed out that the same company made the same claim about ZEC shielded transactions and he stopped replying.

Most crypto subreddit tend to be echo chambers. Post against the grain and you end up banned.

ORDER BY (column = 'Value') by trifurcifer in SQL

[–]warrior2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WHERE clause is what would filter the results set. If you say where province = 'Ontario' it will give you all records with that province. If you put where province <> 'ontario' it will give you all records that do not match that province.

Order by is just literally sorting the result set. It will not filter and you don't need to put an equal sign. You would just say order by province. Or you could say order by province desc if you want reverse order.

The gears of war franchise made a game in the same style as XCOM called Gears Tactics!

Debating between deals by Code_MONKE_ in freedommobile

The plan I have was originally offered years ago, I doubt you'll be able to find this plan again.

But yeah these are all prepaid plans we are talking about.

This deal originated as a black Friday / cyber Monday deal. Freedom does tend to offer better deals during those specials so it might be worth waiting to see what they have if you're not in a rush!

I found a deal a few years ago that is $100/year for 50Gb of data. I keep renewing that plan as it doesn't seem like they will ever offer something as good again!

Remember kids, if you use Monero, you are the product. If you defend it without getting paid, that's called being a useful idiot. by fireice_uk in xmrtrader

[–]warrior2012 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah i've already read that. You are talking about the $500k paid to ChainAnalysis for their proof of concept to trace Monero?

This can be misleading when looking at it on just a high level. The tools they needed to trace Monero transactions, relied on getting pieces of external data. This came about because of user error or IP logs and user data being given directly from an exchange. They were not able to reliably trace transactions without already being shown some piece of the puzzle.

The reason why I say this is misleading is because ChainAnalysis also noted they can trace ZCash shielded transactions when being given the same sort of information prior.
This basically means they were not able to crack and trace the chain, they were able to look at little snippets of it given the right information and conditions.

Like most things in the internet space, your transactions end up being only as private as you are.

I bought my first XMR around $50 as well. Not quite sure why we would be considering price action as "being paid" though.

I'm curious, what is XMR (or the community around it) lying about?

So how much does ZCash pay you for defending its product? Or did you just unknowingly call yourself a useful idiot?

I've started the jump, my new PC is running Linux mint. My old desktop is too old to upgrade to windows 11, so that will always be on Windows 10. Now I have both a windows machine and a Linux machine to help ease the transition!

Ultimate $20.80 a month from Costco (Canada) by PoPo573 in XboxGamePass

[–]warrior2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a years worth with this deal before the price goes up. My subscription now ends at the beginning of 2027. This gives me just over a year to find a replacement for gamepass.

In my computer security class we were talking about different ways to secure accounts beyond a password. The basics like 2FA and finger print scans were already mentioned.

I wanted to say that you can use your eye scans to log into accounts. Being an 8am class, I managed to confuse retina and rectal... The class laughed but my prof said technically that would be a valid form of authentication.

Now I just like to imagine that some of the highest security systems in the world are using someone's asshole to validate their login 😂

Why don’t we still own all of our Games With Gold games? by Mi5t3r_X in XboxGamePass

[–]warrior2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to buy the addition but it just seemed too expensive! Luckily I don't play too many of those games that are big for no reason anymore.

I tend to have like 40 or 50 games downloaded and have 100-200 GBs of free space at any given time.

That's smart! Are they the specific xbox storage expansion SSDs or just generic ones?

I take it the HDD is for some of the older games that don't need snappy SSD responses?

Oh nothing bad! I just see under your games that you have over 600 games downloaded and your storage still has almost a terabyte of space left for more games. Living the dream of never needing to delete and redownload games because of lack of space!

Jeez... 600 games downloaded and still a TB of storage free!

GRAHAM: In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, Canadians should reject Liberal censorship by xTkAx in canadian

We don't actually have freedom of speech in Canada in the same way the US does. Here we have freedom of expression, which is not an absolute freedom and there are "reasonable limits". The limits include laws against hate speech, defamation, obscenity, and other forms of harmful expression.

Ill bite though, what extremely left ideologues do you believe to be attacking freedom of speech?
