We do not have a bill of rights. We do not have any constitutional protections for privacy. Use encryption.

This adds whitelisting and centralization. Not a good idea for Bitcoin.

Dude, not everyone is in the US. You don't get 'caught' by the FBI for DDoSing from Syria.

It's obvious you're from the US and think you're the world police.. but you are not.

Depends on where they are from. Good luck catching them if they are in Iraq.

But if they are actually from the middle east, they're not getting any prison time.

He uses zencloud, a CEX-like site. He just pays upfront for 2 GH/s ($40,000).

Are you aware of the state of Storj?

Both are under active development and are not ready. If you look at repos, you can see they are actively working on MaidSafe.

Please tell me that 100,000 people will purchase Bitcoin, submit AML, wait for them to get the BTC, wait for it to confirm, and overall spend 5 days just to torrent a movie.

It's not going to revolutionize BitTorrent.

First, very few people pay for nntp/vpn/seedboxes. The vast majority download from their home internet for free, and won't pay.

And $10 a month of nntp/vpn gets them everything -- it's fixed rate.

Nobody is going to pay to download though, even if they're only paying something like $0.02. The barrier between $0 and $0.0001 is simply too high.

Absolutely, I'm just commenting that MaidSafe is trying to do something larger. The most well implemented solution will win.

MaidSafe is Stroj but taken to the whole internet. It's far more impacting than simply file sharing, it can revolutionize the darkweb at the very least.

This is just a simple bug, you should contact ChangeTip and get them to change their name to resolve (would be faster than trying to get YouTube to resolve).

No, I've never withdrawn to Coinbase. My account had 4 transactions before it got shut down - purchase, send to new seals deposit address, purchase, send to another seals deposit address.

No dude, he means the PSN code contains IP addresses that are obfuscated.

Because actually winning wars result in no more continuous payments for the military industry..

When are you going to get it, the US purposefully does just-nearly-good-enough in wars like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now vs IS for a reason. Actually winning them doesn't give profit to defense contractors.

why are you reporting this?
