The content of this blog is exclusively to do with online privacy/security, cryptography and cryptocurrency: Understanding it, investing in it, mining it (in groups/crowds), developing/programming it, the social problems it aims to solve and the various ways to make more of it (or not, as various losses and failures happen). Let's get away from banksters, Capitalists and fiat, to an unbanked anarcho-syndicalist commune. || Banner image: Blogger's own.

I am having trouble with PayPal (which will hopefully be resolved by the end of the week or I'm going to have serious cash flow issues and not be able to work because my assets will be repossessed). I decided that, in light of that, I should see what...
