Why is child porn being discussed on a BTC forum?
Take that shit to off topic or preferably somewhere else altogether.

erm did I miss something?
When the various global police authorities took down 400 dark web sites a few weeks ago it seemed things may have changed for the worse regarding Tor. I don't know the technical details but I was under the impression they had performed some kind of Sybil attack to isolate users to specific IP's to identify offending servers. Either way there is no need to use Tor to maintain privacy. |

What is your point lambchop?
Governments don't care about people downloading dvd rips on torrent, industry does. And they lobby western governments hard to try and protect their dwindling resources.
Childporn is criminal and should be pursued by the police with whatever powers they have.
My point is jaywalking is criminal too, though governments will not make as great an effort to stomp out jaywalking as they would with something which threatens their very lifeblood--money. Why does such shit need to be explained? Am I talking to a wayward child blowing off school to troll the intertubes? How old ru bro? |

Because your implied point wasn't clear, obviously, rudey.
Bitcoin is not illegal last time I checked.

It seems safe to assume Tor is broken now. erm did I miss something? Not broken. Maybe people rely on it too much, all it can do is to hide your ip address. |

Yeah, that is not for us, that is for the politicians. |

The article merely explains how the paper explains how bitcoin nodes can be pushed from tor and forced to connect through clearnet by triggering DOS protection against the tor gateway IPs. Doesn't imply tor is broken at all. btw: there's still a simple way to hide your IP when making a transaction: Hide in the mass of people using the same electrum (or obelisk, or ...) server. Yes, you have to trust the server operator to not store your IP or to not give it out. If you can't bring yourself to do that, just run your own server and get other to use it. |

Gold is bearish last 1 year, so it's not really big news. We all know price of gold dropping regularly. |

There isn't? What are other ways? |

Jaywalking, child porn, media pirating and bitcoin are all the same... great comparison.  |

There isn't? What are other ways? Simply using a web wallet via a public computer / networks should do the trick. |

File sharing and Bitcoin--with proponents openly claiming to make fiat obsolete are the same... great comparison. |

Not yet, but you've forgotten what I'm replying to, though it was posted by yourself just a few minutes ago: I suppose one 'angle of attack' against btc is to try and de-anonymise it as much as possible and kick away one leg propping up its price to a degree, dark web transactions. Even if that is just a perceived change of safety amongst potential users it could be effective.
Still it hasn't been an even remotely effective strategy with conventional bit torrent.
I understand a chipmunk's long-term memory is only three days long--the acorns burred before that are forgotten. Yours is clearly much shorter--a fun fact you'll forget in a few minutes.  |

Whoever is operating the bot has accumulated 1750 coins already apparently and according to a redditor is throttling the purchases to prevent it moving the price upwards. We are still four days away from the auction. What does someone know? yea this person/group has some deep pockets purchasing nearly 3 BTC every minute. Shortcovering?  |

Lambchop: Having re-read the post concerned, my request for clarification, and your response I am afraid it is back to ignore for you!
Edit: I am sure the rest of the readers will breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, you have to trust the server operator to not store your IP or to not give it out. If you can't bring yourself to do that, just run your own server and get other to use it. And isn't it possible to mask a wallets IP, by having one wallet with open connections and a second hidden wallet that only connects to the open wallet using connect=<ip> in the conf file? The first wallet is used to supply the up-to-date block chain to the hidden wallet, which will only connect to one specific IP (the IP of the open wallet) making the hidden wallet completely invisible to all other wallets apart from the one it's configured to connect to. |
