This daily general is for supporters of the cypherpunk ideology to hang out and help noobies learn about Monero, the most fungible cryptocurrency. A cypherpunk is any activist advocating widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a route to social and political change.
We believe that Monero is the logical continuation of Bitcoin because it offers superior privacy, leading the way to many potential use cases. Discussion points include rising Dark Net adoption, news articles about Monero, daily transaction totals, and new technology updates to the Monero project.
Moonboy posting is discouraged, however price speculation and TA is fine.
This past week a large amount of data was hacked from federal law enforcement. This dump of files, called "Blue Leaks", included some insight into how the feds handle the dark net. Pic related is page one of the pdf.
And here are the other two pages. As of this point, I do not know if there are any other documents from this leak that mentions Monero. But you can tell that the feds are scared shitless. And I quote: "More widespread criminal adoption of AECs [anonymity-enhanced crypto currency] will severely limit the abilit of law enforcement to trace cryptocurrency involved in illicit activities with existing investigative techniques."
