  1. Re: $30+ fees? on Bitcoin Conference Stops Accepting BTC Due To High Fees (bitcoin.com) · · Score: 1

    Transaction fees are always paid in cryptocurrency and have nothing to do with the exchanges. It's the fee added to a transaction which is paid to the miner when the transaction is confirmed. This fee would be paid even when someone sends BTC directly to another person's wallet. You could set the fee amount to a much lower BTC value in your wallet software before sending, but that would almost guarantee a *very* long confirmation time for your transaction

  2. Re:Accountable Anonymity is Possible on FBI Chief Calls Unbreakable Encryption 'Urgent Public Safety Issue' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds a hell of a lot like Black Mirror S03E01

  3. Well, if your Bitcoin is already on deposit at the exchange the limitations of the blockchain are irrelevant. Keeping coins on deposit at an exhange is a stupid idea though, with the various hacks/thefts that have happened. Moving your coins from a local wallet to an exchange to sell is one transaction and any trades you make there are off-chain.

  4. Re:"phishing site threat"? on Equifax Breach is Very Possibly the Worst Leak of Personal Info Ever (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably because they are asking for information typcially found on phishing sites, such as name and (partial) SSN. It's also apparently running a stock WordPress installation and their production site throws debug messages and stack traces. Ugh.

  5. Re:if you want to purify cyberspace... on Alibaba Founder To Chinese Government: Use Big Data To Stop Criminals (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Me too!

    AOL!

  6. Re:Belief In Law on NSA Can Spy On Data From Smart Phones, Including Blackberry · · Score: 1

    You're kidding me. You live 300 meters from the bar, and you drove? I have no sympathy.

  7. Re:Javascript anywhere but the browser? No on Node.js and MongoDB Turning JavaScript Into a Full-Stack Language · · Score: 1
  8. Re:rent free? I don't think so on Comcast To Expand Public WiFi Using Home Internet Connections · · Score: 2

    I actually own my cable modem and router, as well pay for the power it uses. Sure, the cable company owns everything upstream of that. If they want to provide public WiFi why not stick an AP on the pole on the road outside my place?

  9. Re:Bend over and submit citizen on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well for an improvement you could move to Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Chile, Mauritius, or Denmark....all ahead of the USA if you trust this source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom

  10. Re:Bend over and submit citizen on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what I have already done. I've already bought a nice place on the shore in Hainan. I found the people and the local government perfectly to my liking.

  11. Kernels with grsecurity patches? on Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    I am using the grsecurity patches and have always had the "restricted ptrace" option turned on (only root can ptrace). Does this provide some (any?) protection against this vulnerability?
