Cryptocurrency: Freedom Protests and Crypto Freedom Trigger Panic In Governments
by grarpamp 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

As they say... it is happening ;) Government Terrorists aka Criminal Politicians "Leaders" Bureaucrats and Administrations, are now outright stealing and canceling the funds of innocent and unadjudicated people en masse, and ordering their Corporate Cronies in the Criminal Conspiracy to do the same. Not only in Fiat, but now intending at centralized crypto chokepoints too. Cryptocurrency warned you these days of total control, over Financial Freedom Personal Sovereignty Bodily Autonomy and more, were coming, and gave you at least one path to route around it to maintain and regain Freedom. Own the money, then defund the oppressors. Governments are in abject fear of losing their arbitrary pointless and brutal power they've stolen from Human Freedom over thousand of year. And their animalistic fear response is getting much more dangerous. Distributed Privacy Enabled Cryptocurrency and Voluntaryism are stronger than they are... this triggered panic response to innocent reclamation of natural freedom is direct evidence that cryptocurrency is working and that you are close to the inevitable win of Freedom over Power... so keep pushing adoption... faster, harder, deeper, broader... now, FTW! https://v.redd.it/x2je3kq4w5i81 Authoritarians Label Freedom as Terrorism

Perennele1 Feb 16 just yr daily reminder that the anarchist symbol emerged in california. this train, which ran from oakland to chico, was used by anarchists and IWW during the 1910s, and some italian anarchists got jobs with the OAE, allowing them to dispense passes. the symbol stuck around https://twitter.com/Perennele1/status/1493746110535372803/photo/1

[spam][crazy] Adding Cert Pinning to E-X
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 21 Feb '22

[trashcancel?] libtoilet is intended to use the e-x fork of electrumx to be able connect to a handful of different cryptocurrencies. the electrum protocol doesn't include ssl fingerprints in peer exchange yet, which might mean a mitm can easily offer you a fake peer network. this is something that is not too complex to add and can reduce the censorship/difficulty tradeoff for cryptocurrency clients and toilet shredders both. electrumx is at https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx electrumx uses a quick small network library that i think of as a clean hack at https://github.com/kyuupichan/aiorpcX basically it integrates with python's standard asyncio sockets implementation, which has support for SSL. the fork of electrumx that retains support for more coins is at https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx . --- I glanced through some electrumx code, but I'm confused as to whether it was kyuupichan's or spesmilos. But since the codebases are likely based on the same trees, hopefully I can reuse the glancing. I thought I was looking at spesmilo's code, so I was focusing on making additions to the client rather than the protocol, since I think it might be kyuupichan who specifies the protocol, really not sure of this, do not know. What seemed to make the first sense to me would be to: - add ssl fingerprints to hardcided coin peers in lib/coins.py - add parsing of the fingerprints to Peer.from_real_name() in lib/peer.py and generation of them to Peer.real_name() - add code to PeerManager._verify_peer() in server/peers.py to check ssl fingerprints, which means a little more api and source digging to implement It's notable that in the source, it describes the peer description format as "as on IRC", so the idea of finding the IRC community that distributes peer addresses, and adding fingerprinting to the tools they use, could help here.

We need to be able to talk with each other.

Everybody needs to be able to talk with each other. Have you ever been separated from somebody you need to communicate with, like a family member or a coworker? We need real communication. It's a basic need of life.
