Even if granted asylum in some ally country such as France, given our technical experience with extraordinary rendition, how long before Snowden and Assange mysteriously appear on a US navy vessel just outside territorial waters?
To support my whitelisting on an iPhone, I set up a phone ringtone which consisted of several seconds of silence.
Unfortunately, Apple has the policy of silently (haha) deleting such a non-tone. So I have to combine the "do not disturb" along with explicit blocking.
I know Knuth traditionally offers bounties on errors found in Art of Computer Programming and that recently I've heard of several high-profile companies such as Google and Microsoft offer them, but it seems to me that to enter the same game as the cybercriminals and extortionists is one that cannot be won.
And it is not only the money: ronin bug finders are not going to be systematic or even able to pore over code and finding errant implementations as the original architects, project leaders and coders. And even the best black box testing has some logic routes way over-tested, while other code is not touched at all. Probably the overall effectiveness goes as the logarithm of the crowd source.
Offering bounties is an admission that the coding & testing design is deficient.
And remember, according to the Consitution, treaties have the same force and effect of not only the ordinary law of the land, but of the Constitution itself.
Even though he wasn't federally charged with soliciting murder, he was in Maryland which proceeding is pending. Further, the federal judge found by a "preponderance of evidence" (not "beyond a reasonable doubt") that Ross did in fact order what he believed were hits upon both extortionists and in one case family. With this finding she could use that fact for purposing of sentencing where there is a range of possibilities for her discretion.
Believe it or not, given the facts proven at trial and the probable cause for additional facts such as solicitation of murder, he is lucky not to get the death penalty.
Better than my suggestion is to imagine how your might play with the magic of directly harnessing EMF to communicate, then to use search terms such as ARRL QRP CW 50mw backpacker rig transmitter transceiver amateur and so on to find something that is right for you.
I built a matchbox-sized cw transmitter that can use from 5 to 20 volts supply using about $20 worth of parts to produce filtered cw at about 50mw at a crystal controlled 14030 MHz into whatever antenna that you can match to the output. I bought the tiny circuit board mail order and populated with a handful of discrete parts bought from a local Radio Shack (R.I.P.). Took about two hours. The code "key" is two pieces of twisted bell wire that can develop good speed with, surprisingly. You have to use this rig with a separate SW receiver. Any reasonable quality one will do, such as one in the Sony ICF family. A "CW" setting is not required.
Many kits are transceivers, so no additional receiving equipment required.
Depending on the match of your antenna and the ionosphere, you can get QSLs from hundreds of miles away. It still gives me the shivers to do this miles away from civilization under a dark summer night in the mountains. Such a tenuous connect, such an achievement harnessing one of the basic forces of nature to exchange thoughts at a distance.
A Lithium-Ion power density and weight makes it an obvious choice for powering your xmitter.
Neal Stephenson's scenario in his new book Seveneves of cw contacts to the ISS is completely possible.
Well, he is charged with it in Maryland, and just a preponderance of evidence permits it to be used at the sentencing hearing. The judge mentioned it three times in her remarks before pronouncing the two life sentences.
The judge addressed this in the hearing. She said that it was proven by a preponderance of evidence that there was a direct nexus between the Silk Road and the deaths (opened Silk Road package and hypo still in the victim's arm, designer drug ingested gift from friend who testified that it came from the Silk Road, etc.) and asserting that they would have died anyway from another source was purely speculative.
Since Ross actually transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoins to the presumed hitman, who then provided photographic "evidence" of the hit--which Ulbricht helpfully documented in his journal and administrator email logs--the judge correctly found a preponderance of evidence that the attempted murder attempts were real and could be used as evidence in the sentencing hearing. The judge had to actually truncate the enhancement points (50) down to the maximum (43) before deciding on an actual sentence. At level 43 life in prison without possibility of parole is the recommended sentence.
Also, the points are non-linear. 1 --> 2 might mean a few months more in prison, 42 --> 43 might mean another five years in prison. We can only imagine what level 50 would be, if it existed. 100 years? 150 years?
Since one of the victims was 16, I challenge you to demonstrate that the purchaser were adults. Further, when sales are in the kilos of meth, it is almost certain that it is to a dealer for resale to people of all ages, adult or not. I have never met a dealer who asked for id.
The judge spent and hour describing the material on all sides of the case she studied and the reasoning process she used to make her final decision.
To tell the truth, Ulbricht's lawyer didn't speak very well and continued to push the apologia of "diminished harm" through internet sales of drugs.
Finally, when Ulbricht got to speak for himself, that's all he did. "My character is this..." "My motivation is that..." "please let me celebrate Thanksgiving with my family in old age..." This just after the testimony of two parents who likely lost their children due to a direct connection to Silk Road drug trading. How many holidays will a dead 16 year old get to spend with his family?
If anything Internet speech ought to be protected more than everyday street speech because the listener is almost always more than arms-length away from the speaker. No threat of imminent violence with "fighting words."

When Phrack republished the NSA Employee Security Manual to demonstrate how porous NSA was for its own security, it backed off.
This is just the same old crap with Edward Snowden or the OPM caper as a counter-example, rather than Phrack.
It also calls into question the reliability, stability, and maturity of Bitcoin as a fully digital payment & store of value system.
And this is where it gets to the hard part, the interface beween Bitcoin mathematics theory and the actual real world.
Just like in a high-end stereo system, you have to put most of your money in the transducers.
I look forward to communicating with point-to-point encrypted neutrinos. Try to block those.
What could go wrong? I am sure the superbacs will be protected behind state-of-the-art walls of Windows and Flash.

One reason for issuing a subpoena is to establish a provable and authenticated origin and chain of custody.

I am sure it will be litigated in Baltimore, if the indictment against Ulbricht goes forward there.

And that is exactly why there are federal sentencing guidelines and minimums--but also with judicial discretion for the unique aspects of a case.
