I do not consider governments to be the real, or even a significant, threat here...

@ArticMine, You don't ?
You are a fool then and a confirmed Monero ANON COIN shill.

@Kiklo, thanks for your input and i was happy to see you used the words "cross referenced"
EXACTLY !

I have been telling these cocky Monero idiots this for ages (look on the ANON topic i linked to)
They REFUSE to "get it" ..they simply argue on like you're trying to force a horse to drink water.

Cross referencing has emerged to be the single biggest threat in the entire history of computers
And little expert ArticMine says it's nothing he worries about.. no big deal he says ROFL

The key point to this topic here is a cross referencing end-point.. regardless of the system !
And these delusional wacko's like Monero Fanatics seem to think they can place some form of security
in between the starting point and the end point.. and BAM! we have bullet proof security.
..as it says on their Hoodies / Merch (secure & untraceable) Roll Eyes

Any crackers out there know damn well if it runs it can be cracked.
Our entire cracking scene is about finding a way to breach security.. it's what we do !
It's ancient info that when we can't break an encryption algo we simply find another avenue of attack.
Which are limitless..

That boils down to often a cracker coding a keygen vs "patching" a program.
And i schooled a software dev of a well known popular Firewall program about this before.
He got lippy with me so i taught him a lesson and i gave him a spanking he will never forget.
I coded a variety of Keygen's and i told him i could patch his program with 1 fucking byte changed.
He got mouthy called me a liar so i uploaded source code to 3 different Keygen's i coded
then i created a quick image tutorial showing what to patch and the patched binary of course.
PWNED !

That was my cracker package with 5 ways to exploit his Firewall Activation system.
Sure he had a big mouth and was plenty cocky and was very eager to get lippy with me.
He said my patch i had shared with a few members in the past never did work..
I said he was lying and i had to upload source to prove him wrong (he was calling me a liar)
I did.. he was full of shit.. and yeah my Keygen's and patch's STILL work on his joke security. (SHA256 + Custom / Caeser Cipher)
I have had the program installed pirated for 3 straight years even after using every single update that rolls out. Cool

There is plenty of program i have & still do crack privately.. if i need it cracked i crack it !
Not all cracks are posted publicly people LOL
Don't let the false sense of security fool you because you don't see one on Google. hahhahah

I am more qualified than these Monero idiots..
They think they are experts because they showed up in Crypto THEN decided they will learn c / c++
Even though i started learning it more than a decade ago (as well as other languages)
I have a decade+ of cracking / reverse engineering experience but apparently these morons know more than me because they bought some Monero coins.. and got a "white paper".

ArticMine has a lot of nerve saying that.. that shows his level of ignorance on the subject.

He is not concerned with the abilities of the US govt ?
They are sooo bloody powerful i can barely wrap my head around it.
Their reach is unimaginable !
Most countries have agreements with the USA so that they will comply with various legal requests for example.
hell most people don't know the USA on a regular basis hunts & raids terrorists on Foreign soil with the other countries permission..
And that is all they need *usually*
Even though they went into Pakistan illegally with no permission to assassinate Bin Laden.
That shows that even with out permission they will go ahead anyway even on a 50/50 guess (Obama said on video)

Kim Dotcom learned this lesson this topic delivers the hard way.
He did not think the USA would get permission to raid him in his mansion in New Zealand.
And many people forget the USA law requests are complied with all over..
No matter what or where pretty much.

Cryptsy was "likely" told they HAVE to report users.. they were not doing it voluntarily !
They were /are subject to the Florida laws.
Which is the exact same laws that got the FBI arresting guys doing a Bitcoin deal via LocalBitcoins in a Florida parking lot in 2013.
I recall the amount was about 30 grand.. and the limit was 10 grand i think.
Anything over that 10k needs identification etc or it will be investigated etc.
So yeah you move over 10k on Coinbase i would bet my left nut they report you !
They have to.. it's anti-money laundering laws.

There is many ways to skin a cat ..remember how they eventually caught Al Capone ?
Well most countries these days require you report your Crypto-Currency earnings.
Revenue Canada for example was one of the first countries to publicly state this.
If you are suspected of not claiming your earnings that could be used as a trigger for an investigation.
And the Law system(s) are good buddy's between USA & Canada !
For example..
I seen a News Story where the Canadian govt admitted they have setup and work with the USA
to have a spying end point in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with certain transit locations.
The USA with Canada's permission has setup a cell phone spying system so they can track people.
CSIS & The govt here admitted they let the USA setup and use the surveillance in our country for their monitoring purposes.
..that is no fucking conspiracy people, that is News at 5.

That is.. more cross referencing points.
They go deep too from TOR nodes to ISP's to Internet relay servers etc
..the USA has their fingers in every pie everywhere.
And by extension every company or web site that runs some type of service connected to the USA.

I am sure Kim Dotcom cried conspiracy and laughed lots..
until he was LITERALLY in his Mansions panic room hiding from a swat team booting in his door !

Chuckle it up and get cocky but when you posses power YOU get the last laugh..

When the USA wanted Bin Laden they allocated in secret 52 Million dollars (cost of choppers reported)
..to have 2 custom made stealth choppers created for the raid (designed to evade Pakistani radar defenses)
They then hand selected the soldiers who would go on the mission (out of a pool of anyone they wanted)
They they mobilized the Navy etc to do what ever they asked..
They were extracted after the raid to a US aircraft carrier waiting for them.
Televised raid with the president watching..
and you all knew because they DECIDED to tell you all publicly AFTER the fact.

Snowden mentioned some stuff and various stories in the media have proven it.
It always ends up being a "cross referencing" matter.
And the more end points you can seize and control the more powerful you become.

@ArticMine, you should be worried Cheesy
