not at all, it’s easy to buy cash only tracphone, mint, boost, etc. and there are plenty of explicit anonymous providers such as phreeli.

That said, I don’t think its a problem whatsoever and we shouldn’t have laws restricting it.

While I agree on the core idea, I found the way you went about saying it pretty embarrassing.

Fair, but the point stands.

What do you think about it being a preventative measure against future SBFs?

It seems pretty likely this was an intentional leak meant as a viral outrage based advertising campaign. The content is not just ridiculous but also underdeveloped for someone who actually believed it. And since I'm now reading it here on HN I suppose it worked.

It’s just not a lot of money in most cases. Often in the hundred to few thousand range. And there is usually a data sample, such as the schema and the first 100 rows, or a demo. Of course, those aren’t strict guarantees but it does make faking it all more difficult.

Escrow was pretty popular on Raidforums, high reputation forum users would not only escrow transactions directly but also do things like pseudo-publicly validate or invalidate claims by checking a sellers data or tools against their own collections (presumably the benefits of being a professional hacker escrow and seeing lots of data).

I have a hard time believing that’s a legitimate statistic. Even being a normal daily smoker would equate to a lot more than 2%.

That’s because it’s for the $250 deposit.

I know that’s what one would expect, but it’s not true. Many large ransomware distributors have a solid record of keeping their word and established relationships with the negotiation firms. Trustworthiness and honesty lead to more payouts and they have no interest in your data or doing you harm, just getting paid.

I don’t know the specifics of federal authority when it comes to internet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it fell under interstate commerce, which is how they justify federal drug laws.

The Y axis is dollars, not BTC.

Don’t commercial hydrogen fuel cells create water as a byproduct?

Not certain at all, it’s based on last universal common ancestor estimates(LUCA) and supported by (lack of) fossil record.

Sounds interesting, but after reading the entire page I’m still not sure I understand it.
