Cryptocurrency: Cloudflare Ditches ReCaptcha for HCaptcha

https://old.reddit.com/r/hCaptcha/comments/fpxzg8/hcaptcha_is_a_brick_wall_… https://old.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/frtaiv/cloudflare_has_swit… https://www.hcaptcha.com/ " hCaptcha is a way for every website in the world to create a new revenue stream from the work their visitors already do. Simply put, when website users prove their humanity via a captcha (to keep out bots and spam), website owners get paid. " " Lately there's a lot of concern over Google having significant power over us on the Internet. Remember the whole CCN fiasco from their tweak on their Algorithm? Well, reCAPTCHA is their product which is easy to set up, weak in security, and essentially helps them train their driverless cars AI for free. It's weak by design which allows for captcha solvers to beat them like 2captcha and DeathbyCaptcha. We're different, hCaptcha helps connect companies (usually AI) who are looking to get their Data labeled or more to sites that have visitors who solve the labeling for them. Of course this is not free for them, but it is free for anyone to implement on their Website to earn from visitors solving them! So we're essentially running on the HUMAN Protocol Engine, and we're going to be implementing a Token system called HMT, because it's much easier to handle Micropayments and using the Proof of Balance algorithm it allows labelers in the Data Exchange to prioritize their tasks. We've already got many sites up using our hCaptcha widget, and we're looking to ask the folks in r/Cryptocurrency on what you guys think, and if you have any questions. We recently set up our own Subreddit and feel it's necessary to get feedback from the Crypto community and hope to address any concerns! "

Re: [liberationtech] COVID-19 (Update) U.S. Cellphone tracking

Users may wish to select an accurate private test company, strong liberation, privacy preserving, etc... over some authoritarian government body that only gets 2 out of 3 test param right, does not test blood sample under full realtime custody of the user to monitor their own test and personally destroy after, welds your ass behind a steel door, etc. P2P proximity apps are interesting tools for these situations, but be very wary establishing granting slippery powers, forever databases, ID, tracking, etc to central "authorities" in the process. Also users don't really care as much to "record a [risky] contact forever", that is the old after the fact tracking database surveillance anti-privacy state apologist mindset. And, were it the sole operation mode, would be entirely useless/unsafe in the realtime moment. Users really just want to gauge "should I have some reasonable or particular interaction with this person right now at this moment". Of course there is always delay continuum from test, to disease acquisition, to spreading phase, to later discovery in later test, a window of risk. That operation mode would require a distributed social overlay network personal test repository to backcheck old contacts against, and mandatory time based contact record destruction falloff curve on each users device and or in the distributed net. Making both users contact history anonymous, and or ensuring privacy self destruct of contact falloff, is an implementation challenge. P2P proximity app could even offer other potential decision metrics to proximity peers, such as number of unique contacts over time, distance traveled, risky or evidencial places visited, degree-of-freedom depth to other pass/fails, ranking and voting on testing entity pki/ca levels of trust, etc. None of this requires any government exist power or intrusion at all. Good things can be recognized and achieved voluntarily. Last, beware the very potential disgusting impact of "social scoring" "caste enforcing" etc that even P2P schemes can enable and devolve into.

This is a message to confirm that my previous PGP key was compromised and should be considered compromised since its creation one week ago. I have made a new PGP key and have already uploaded the revokation of the old one, as well as the new one to the MIT Keyserver. I will begin to upload these keys to more servers to speed up its distribution. The revocation message explains in more detail.

Creating a future -- [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 29 Mar '20

29 Mar '20

First, a bite on present conundrums: You can't cuck the Tuck, and Tucker Carlson rips into Western "elites" who sold out our manufacturing base (and therefore much of our employment) to China, from tech to pharmaceuticals and most of everything - even the US military has become dependent on Chinese manufacturing: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tucker-carlson-us-leaders-have-sold-out-a… The entanglement we/the West, presently faces with China is a result of decades of oligarch gutting of the USA and other Western countries, by literally exporting entire sectors to China, often times along with the actual factories themselves (building, and contents) where Chinese 'engineers' would fly in, measure all the walls, desk and tool locations, pack everything up and ship it to China, and literally re-assemble the result in China, thereafter immediately selling the goods produced straight back to the West, but in this case, using Chinese labour at $1 a day per labourer and thereby steadily eliminating milliosn of productive jobs in the West. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/west-needs-wake-chinas-duplicity Thus the West has been gutted for a few silver coins (to "the Western elites", and cheap(ish) trinkets for the rest of us). Now, we are in a time of reckoning. This time we appear to have may be much less than 10 years - may be a year, may be two? Self sufficiency in food, energy and essential technology (to build houses, transport), i.e. vertical integration, at the national level, and bilateral agreements (entanglement) only where nations have needs they cannot fulfil within their own borders, is a much more stable, long lasting system. Russia has been forced by the Western financial sanctions, firmly into this direction, to a fortuitous and virtuous outcome for Russia, and a great example for the rest of us - we (each nation) need to "clean up our own back yards" so to speak. This "vertical integration" model can apply, at various scales, further down the line - i.e. at the state level, the city level, the community/town/local levels. There is nothing to stop us creating an amazing future for much of the world but for the classic sins (foibles/ passions of the mind/ malaise/ wrong thinkings/ neuroses) of humans - pride, greed, envy, lust, anger, gluttony, vanity, slothfulness, apathy. Each such foible has a natural counterbalance or antidote, for example for lust, the antidote is discernment (discrimination in the old tongue): Just imagine being at a strip club and a gorgeous young dancer of your fancy gets down to nothing, finally flinging their underwear to a screaming crowd of lusty hailers clamouring for that itty bitty piece of cloth which just happens to be a flying ball of chlamydia (and the dancer did not even know at the time). Discernment. Discernment suggests caution, consideration of consequences and the like. - We have a spiritual duty to take a strong stand against morally abhorrent practices such as illicit organ harvesting of political prisoners. - We must remove profit as the utmost pursuit in the minds of Americans ("the American way") and others. - We ought take an interest and have a hand in our own survival - not taking all food and water for granted. This reconciliation with our conscience -is- repentance and is necessary if we are to have a future worth living within - the "mandate of heaven" cannot reign and must be withdrawn whilst base human nature is glorified and upheld, and where those who (at least attempt to) live to a higher ethical standard are vilified, decried and imprisoned! For example we cannot be training and fuelling jihadis for the attempted overthrow of an oil-pathway such as Syria on the one hand, and expect to be relieved of the consequences of such rampant greed and unashamed evil on the other. Vertical integration at the national level could be a start to a reclamation of dignity for all humans. Many will take the microchip in order to receive "free" money to buy food at the supermarket. Many -think- we presently live in this world with an absolute right to various freedoms - to travel, to communicate, etc. Some are so programmed they now think of housing, food, water, transport and even entertainment as human rights - such wrong thinking is of course abhorrent to reason, since receipt without effort implies the enslavement of others to provide such gibs - Ministry speak at its best! If enough of us who see the truth of the beast coming down the pipeline, maintain our awareness of what's coming (the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell anything), and work towards self sufficiency in food, water and energy (for example), and share and grow this vision, we may after two or three generations reclaim the world we presently believe we live within (but appear to be about to lose). Let's make our lives worthy of our own higher intentions.
