Re: Fwd: [Webinar] Decrypting the WannaCry ransomware: Why is it happening and (how) is it going to end?
Any bets on whether ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy &
fungibility will be near the top of the discussions?

Sorry, Steven, I don't know, but already asked them. Sincerely hope so.

You _hope so_? Seriously? That's a horrible idea.

Maybe she had a typo? Anyway.. I think whoever blasted this hack off may never touch their money. Apparently all the infections come with instructions for payment to be made to one of only three static wallets.. and everybody has their eyes on the block chain :P They've only brought in like $60k or something from 200k infections. Horrible return on infection ratio... -- John

I said " I hope so" because it's important discussing these subjects too. The privacy is being attacked in the whole world, unfortunately. :( Hmm... Did I understand wrongly Steven's question, Mirimir? Remember my English is pretty limited yet and I don't want to attack the privacy, only to discuss it. :P

I suppose that it's good to discuss the issue. Still, saying "ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy & fungibility" is an extremely offensive thing to say on this list. What we need is to discuss how to _protect_ cryptocurrency privacy and fungibility.

Sorry, Cecilia. I'm just touchy about this stuff.
With the exception of Jim Bell, I consider myself one of the more
significant cryptoanarchists. I brought this up as there many statists in
the blockchain community and they largely seek to hobble bitcoin (and other
public blockchain currencies) to advantage their investments or achieve
political ends.

OK, sorry. But adding /s to your question would have made it clearer.

Aaaah, I understand his question now! Sorry, my love, I misunderstood Steven's comment about privacy questions. I do *NOT* support "ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy & fungibility", neither ISOC does. ISOC defends and protects these values. I thought he wanted to discuss the ending of them in several countries. Sorry again! :P

Pardon, Mirimir, my vocabulary is limited, my English is a disaster and I need to sleep at least one night. Not a good phase, my love. Sorry.
