I don't know, it's a random list, but to take a guess, I can imagine some folks don't like how I just speak my mind. If you check out the "cypherpunks" mailing list, you will see a few very vocal individuals, one e.g. calling themselves "Razer" (not his real name), and he consistently flings around ad-hominems like "You're a Nazi" whilst refusing to actually engage in the debates or questions that are raised, and, similarly, Razer fully supports Noam Chomsky's declaration that "some facts are less equal than other facts," and therefore that you are a "problematic person" if you engage in discussion around those other facts that Noam doesn't like. It is astounding thta in this so-called "age of enlightenment, some people are strongly taking such anti-science positions, including "world renowned" professors such as Noam Chomsky - for this particular example, see the thread starting here: https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2017-August/038838.html See how "relatively normal" people recognize this statement by Noam: https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2017-August/038962.html And see in particular how Razer recognizes this statement: https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2017-August/038968.html And finally, note how if you google search for the first part of that message's Subject, e.g. "Noam Chomsky again shows his fascist chops", you get this response: No results found for "Noam Chomsky again shows his fascist chops". Even if you add "site:cpunks.org" to the end. Google is censoring cypherpunks and other websites where people express politically incorrect views for example "all facts should be treated equally as facts and analyses for their scientific relevance/ utility" - such assertions are dangerous to TPTB. Good luck, and be careful whom you trust, Zenaan On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 10:11:43AM +0200, Mark McCarron wrote: > Hi everyone, > If you are receiving this email, then your name was found on a pastebin > aimed at clearing out trolls and other people from security related > mailing lists.

Oldest white supremacist site shut down after complaint By JAY REEVES Associated Press August 28, 2017 12:03 PM BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The founder of the internet's oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders. Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn't receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday. Stormfront.org had more than 300,000 registered users, Black said, with traffic increasing since a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Popular with the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, the site included forums where users sometimes promoted white power events. "I'm talking to my lawyers, and that's about all I can do right now," Black, of West Palm Beach, Florida, said in a telephone interview. "I can switch to another domain, but it might wind up the same way." Another major white supremacist website, The Daily Stormer, was previously shut down by the web-hosting company Go Daddy and then Google after the violence in Charlottesville. The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law said the stormfront.org shutdown followed complaints it filed with Network Solutions alleging the site promotes not only hate speech, but deadly violence. A spokesman for Network Solutions didn't immediately return an email seeking comment. Users of Black's website have been implicated in more than 100 killings, according to the complaint, including 77 people slain by neo-Nazi Anders Breivik at a camp in Norway in 2011. "Especially in the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville and the spike in hate crimes across the country, Stormfront crossed the line of permissible speech and incited and promoted violence," said a statement by Kristen Clarke, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Black, speaking about the shutdown during an online radio show Monday, said his site had rules against promoting violence or any crime. Black was a state KKK leader under former Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke, who appeared on the radio show following Black and expressed his "full support" for Black and the website. "He was the first major site defending the rights of white people," said Duke. Black has been involved in the white supremacy movement since the 1970s and was convicted in 1981 for his role in a right-wing plot to overthrow the government of Caribbean island nation of Dominica. =30= http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/artic…

Pink: Combining Sex and the Sharing Economy

https://pinkapp.io/ https://pinkapp.io/pink-12-aug.pdf https://medium.com/@PinkApp https://twitter.com/@goPinkApp https://join.slack.com/t/pinkapp/shared_invite/MjMwOTM2OTIyMDU0LTE1MDM0MTQ5… Escort Agency, Revolutionized - Monetizing Human Desire "If Silk Road had used this design, they’d still be online" Pink is the world's first anonymous escort agency, leveraging blockchain fundraising and payments with anonymity technology to operate in an extrajurisdictional fashion. Selling sex is a lucrative yet difficult trade, ripe for disruption. >From safety to quality, marketing to payment, problems abound for both parties. Pink eliminates risk and guarantees service, end to end. In doing so, we generate and capture immense value. Marketplaces like Craigslist or Backpage create more problems than they solve. Buyers and sellers are left to fend for themselves. Such companies cannot and do not get involved in individual transactions. Pink transacts with both sides, acting as a true "Uber of Sex", delivering real customer service. Pink's booking commissions (12-25%) ensure significant profits to grow and deliver world-class service. Providers and clients only deal with Pink. We handle advertising, transportation, security, scheduling, legal costs, payments, and even taxes. For providers, Pink allows choosing the required level of verification of clients, and we guarantee payment. For clients, Pink assures accurate photos, health, and service levels - no more spam and fake profiles. In the case of any dispute, Pink acts as full mediator to ensure a fair outcome. Tinder Meets Buy It Now Clients swipe through providers to make a shortlist - more fun than browsing ads. Swipe up to Buy It Now! Hassle-Free Scheduling No more back-and-forth between multiple providers. See who's available and book instantly, with guaranteed availability! Perfect Profiles Pink personally, physically, verifies each and every provider on the system. What You See Is What You Get, Guaranteed. Get Rewarded Share the gift of love and both you and your friend will receive bonuses. As an active user, you'll automatically gain free services. Best Pricing Taking advantage of market data, Pink can dynamically adjust prices as well as A/B test photos and description text. Cash Accepted! Safe and Secure Being extrajurisdictional and anonymous, Pink minimizes legal risk for everyone involved. See our PDF for technical details. The First Post-ICO Blockchain Fundraiser Series A Token-Shares Sale Starts Sept 1 Pink is the first post-ICO era blockchain-fundraising company. Because Pink accepts cash, crypto currencies and eventually limited amounts of credit cards for payment, it does not need a token. Instead we will issue Token-Shares, also known as Blockchain Bearer Shares. The shares issued will receive dividends every quarter - a guaranteed minimum of 50% of profits. Pink will leverage blockchain smart contracts to track share ownership and distribute dividends. Token-Shares are issued in an ERC20-compliant token, making trading easy. On top of this, we will allow shareholders to opt into hidden ownership to allow them to remain fully anonymous. In such cases, we can distribute profits via Monero or other methods. As a full service company, Pink is geo-limiting its offerings at launch to ensure a safe and high quality operation. Pink aims to launch its first city in December, 2017. To do so, we are opening a small Series A investment round on Sept 1. We aim to raise $5,000,000 at $1/token-share. In January, after the successful launch, we will do a full Blockchain IPO, raising $50 million at $10/token-share. At IPO, Series A investors can, at their election, participate in a stock buyback program of up to 20% of their shares (an instant 200% ROI). We can seriously fight sex trafficking! Pink will grow quickly, as the only global commercial organization that will stand up for sex providers. Working for Pink will be safer and more profitable than being independent or working for a local organization. We will have strict verification of provider ages, done via our own Pink contractors. We are working on measures to detect coercion and offer help to providers suspected of being coerced. Abusive clients will be banned and dealt with by our security personnel as warranted. If you are a stakeholder in sex worker rights and want to work with us to shape our policies, please email us.

Cryptocurrency Anonymity Tracking

But you can't hide from the taxman. At least, that's the hope of the Internal Revenue Service, which has purchased specialist software to track those using bitcoin, according to a contract obtained by The Daily Beast. The document highlights how law enforcement isn't only concerned with criminals accumulating bitcoin from selling drugs or hacking targets, but also those who use the currency to hide wealth or avoid paying taxes. The IRS has claimed that only 802 people declared bitcoin losses or profits in 2015; clearly fewer than the actual number of people trading the cryptocurrency -- especially as more investors dip into the world of cryptocurrencies, and the value of bitcoin punches past the $4,000 mark. Maybe lots of bitcoin traders didn't realize the government expects to collect tax on their digital earnings, or perhaps some thought they'd be able to get away with stockpiling bitcoin thanks to the perception that the cryptocurrency is largely anonymous. "The purpose of this acquisition is to help us trace the movement of money through the bitcoin economy," a section of the contract reads. The Daily Beast obtained the document through the Freedom of Information Act. The contractor in this case is Chainalysis, a startup offering its "Reactor" tool to visualize, track, and analyze bitcoin transactions. Chainalysis' users include law enforcement agencies, banks, and regulatory entities. The software can follow bitcoin as it moves from one wallet to another, and eventually to an exchange where the bitcoin user will likely cash out into dollars or another currency. This is the point law enforcement could issue a subpoena to the exchange and figure out who is really behind the bitcoin. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6u72kt/cryptocurrency_retu… https://hackcabin.com/post/dont-mine-bitcoin-mine-altcoins/
