how can I raise money to help put toward development of the site?

Raise investment from BTCPoP - (get a loan or investment) You will need to verify with them (or pay an exorbitant rate)

Re: Troll sent tx's with message "Child Porn" during 2012-2014 (check ur addresses)

There are 2 problems here ....

The first and major problem is the lack of a free and universal "taint" checking service ( similar to the old blockchain.info/taint ) which seemed to get closed down as soon as the blockchain r@peists ChainAnalysis / Eliptic came in ... at around $1500 a month. There is now one that gives a basic overview similar to the chainanlysis reactor.... more needed. It is (quite) a simple task of interrogating the public blockchain. So more taint checking for free ...

The second problem that has become more apparent ( and highlighted here ) is traders are deliberately marking other traders, old customers that have gone elsewhere etc as bad/naughty/scammers. Far too easy with the whoswhos service ... now if you check the taint on coins coming from an exchange (and they ALL suffer this) there is normally a level of taint ... some exchanges give taint analysis of near 100% ... a BIG red flag.

So ... do we use "throw away" wallets (with the hassle of private key retention and safety) moving coins via these temp wallets to exchanges and then via a more secretive coin (Monero) and back - or via a mixing service (that inherently just moves the data from public to private no matter what they say on retention - the same as exchanges) ? When you check your addresses you will be horified (if you use the common exchanges) at the amount of taint.

I will have a service implemented by end May 2019 for free to all to use via clearnet + onion site with no login or payment required.... next project in line.

I fear for the future of his manhood .. $100000 seems a little far at the moment.... be nice if it got to $99999 and that was the ATH until 2022

Re: China is going to rule crypto!
by

on 23/01/2019, 10:20:22 UTC
I disagree with you. China is all about control and Bitcoin does not give them control over many aspects of their citizens. They want to control capital flowing in and out of China and Bitcoin is borderless. They want to know what their citizens are spending their money on and Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous.

Japan will soon rule the Crypto currency scene, because they have none of these restrictions and their government is embracing the technology.  Wink

Agreed Japan already does in some respects - legislation + guidance already in place

Re: Malware Found on a Movie Downloaded via Torrent Steals your Crypto

I'm using torrents not just to download movies but software as well and this is helpful for me since I'm not aware that there's that kind of virus the only virus I know that is connected to cryptocurrency is the ransomware wherein you're going to pay crypto in order to unlock your files, thanks for this valuable information.

May I ask for some suggestions for everyone? What are the things we should do in order to avoid this? or what kind of antivirus do you think is helpful to avoid this.

2 x Linux machines (physically different hardware) + Air Gap + separate networks (or one in a DMZ for downloads)

If I have ever bought on credit cards or loans the price always goes down Sad I think if you need credit to get crypto you are doubling the risks.
