Child abuse imagery ‘found within Bitcoin’s blockchain’

There are ways to append arbitrary data to an transaction.

Coinfags absolutely BTFO.

I can't wait to see the drops and then mine the salt from reddit as the soyboys see their imaginary money vanish.
Hot tip: If your money isn't taken seriously by a central bank backed by a strong military, it's worthless.

They're pushing this hard.

There were very few people smart enough to take profit and sell their crypto bucks. The number of people who bought in at $5000 or above is much greater than the people who bought in earlier. It’s literally a trap for retards. Also lately we’re receiving reports that over 90% of the transactions on the major exchanges are actually fake.

If a person got in early and mined some coins, or bought in when it was just pocket change, good on them. For the rest, well, it’s doubtful they would have managed to hold on to their money anyway, being such retards.

People actually took out second mortgages on their homes to buy bitcoins. Insane.

I feel like a gambling idiot with my traditional stocks and bonds portfolio, the day to day suspense is almost too much, I can’t imagine how a person could cope with having a significant amount of real money tied up in crypto, the high volatility isn’t even as bad as the risk of getting jacked.

BAN MS PAINT NOW! IT CAN BE USED TO DRAW BAD STUFF!

It's not illegal to be in possession of technology to make CP. It's illegal to make and possess CP.

I think he drew a self-portrait.

Next you're going to tell me to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Where do compressed files stand in this?

Now what if you have an otherwise uncompressed file, and someone arbitrarily develops a "completely innocent decompression utility" that turns it into illegal content?

Point is, if transformative operations are allowed in proving someone has X file, it becomes extremely easy to plant evidence on somebody (especially in the case of public web servers). You effectively encode some portion of the content in the operation, regardless if the operation itself bears any resemblance to the final content.

That's why I argue if you want to charge someone with CP, you should have to prove their intentional acquirement of the material. That being said, if someone has a lot of files that look like CP, that's a reasonable grounds for further investigation IMO.

even more of a reason to go with monero

And also governmental secrets.
RIP wikileaks.

Filtered for control.

Gets dumb when you try to define CP as any image involving a minor. Lolis need love too NSA!

So we're doing the "but I know it when I see it" thing now?

How the fuck is that clever. This is literally the first method those fucks always use to Shut It Down™, whatever "it" is.

Every public blockchain can be shlomo'd this way.

If the narrative and the normalniggers are dumb, you cure them to a lovely death.

Untrue. Monero is encrypted by default, and it can't be turned off.

This is fucking hilarious

You'd have to make it plausible that it's a general algorithm and that the algorithm itself is not enough to get the content. That's certainly practically impossible, probably even theoretically. You could formalize it using Kolmogorov complexity if you really needed to, but you don't.
Here's a marginally more realistic problem. I have random noise, publicly archived. You have an illegal file. You XOR the file with my noise. Now you have something that's indistinguishable from random noise, but XOR the noises and you get the file.
Possession of a single noise file is not enough to prove anything, because one of them existed before the encoding and the publisher can have been completely unaware that it would be used for this. But you can apply that to either noise file because they both look like random noise.

no, the study doesn't put people at risk. it didn't reveal anything new
no, the information there doesn't put people at risk, it was already guaranteed that someone will do this at some point
Everyone already knew from day 1 this would happen. The question is will your dumbass country make illegal an entire monetary system (the only good/useful one) to remove a few items of CP from a low bandwidth channel, despite that the only reason CP is even illegal anywhere outside Saudi Arabia right now is an indirect regulatory attempt to mitigate child abuse.

Nothing if, genius. It's a place where arbitrary information can be stored by anyone. Of course there's going to be stuff that's illegal in your country.

The reason CP laws are so fucktarded is precisely because it leads to absurd results such as making bitcoin and (any other type of decentralized storage) illegal.

Is Bitcoin a useful monetary system? Who's even using it to pay for things any more?

It's stock market 2.0, I doubt you could ever use it as currency unless you could make a coin that can't change value (or at least does so much slower than the other coins). Or you could plan on spending it right when you buy it, and even then you lose money from fees.

I buy stuff from overstock with it, and pay for my hosting with xmr.to, for one

how can they know for sure its cp? is there a cp flag on files or something?

presumably it will become less volatile at some point. in either case it's useful to transfer money. much better than using some jewish aids like paypal or bank transfer

it's a bit more efficient than a tool that xor's some garbage into CP, so it can be plausibly made illegal by normalfags. making any transaction in the blockchain (required to publish data of any sort in the blockchain) costs money though... seems more practical to just host it on the clearnet like everyone already does

agreed, that's why this feels more like sabotage.

Extremely likely. Even if Bitcoin is CIA like all the FUDers say, it still challenges the Redsheild and ilk control of the world.

I can see non-private public blockchain being the enabler of the beast 666 system the revelation of John talks about (crazy shit mane) while private public blockchains, like PIVX (the best in my opinion) could be the a tool for humanities liberation from tyranny.

The end game for those cunts is a cashless society where no transactions can be private.

So like a barter system?
But even barter can be private.
The pre-Colombians in Southern North America used turquoise beads as a currency.

The main problem with current system is 'those cunt's i.e the worshipers of the blackcubes in Mecca and financial centers around the world, or 'Cronus,' 666 praise Satan the inverted Saturn lel is that they lie and control privately the issuance of public currency thereby turning nations into whores who work for money/drugs that is fundamentally worthless except for their belief that it has worth.

PIVX has a set rate of inflation rewarding stakeholders and a transparent # of circulating units so that is quite different. Worth betting on in my mind.

Public transactions could be used to enable complete monitoring and automatic taxation and punishment of subjects (human cattle). This is the final tyranny that must be rejected.

It isn't. The first blocks with illegal content come from 2012 or so, though most of them are dead URLs to old CP websites.
It's just another case of retards posting CP and ruining it for everyone else.

This. people who think that loli = CP, just undermine the real problem. Why spend a lot of effort and money to ban loli, when real children are being raped by (((them)))

nope. as much as you might not like it, the problem is the government holding contraband laws so high. the result is absudities like "bitcoin is illegal because it is pedo"

Yeah, I swear this smells like some kind of psyop bullshit to influence public opinion, and generate distrust of non regulated banking. YOU COULD BE IN POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!

there is cocaine in every single dollar, is the dollar going to be illegal because you could technically collect all the cocaine within each dollar.

bump

Someone has written a program in java, that can up and download files.
Now it's not even difficult anymore, to retrieve and upload these things to the blockchain. That means, the only two options for (((them))) are, to either kill the blockchain or permit all files within the blockchain. And I'm honestly not sure which of these is the better options.

Finally, i can shitpost in blockchain and fill it with shit that'll get everyone downloading it v&'d

Kill yourself you propaganda mongling faggot. CP is already much easier and cheaper to get on the clearnet. It doesn't matter how accessible tools to encode files to the blockchain (which are trivial to write and probably have existed back in 2009 or whenever more than 3 people knew about bitcoin) become, Bitcoin is still a retarded impractical way of storing files, especially big files such as photos and videos.

Since the government was unable to stop CP on public venues such as the _the fucking clearweb_ despite the maximum harshest possible punishments being implemented and le federal police, making bitcoin illegal to stop CP will not stop CP in any way, it will just be sending people to jail (who have absolutely nothing to do with CP) for literally nothing.

I think you misunderstood me.
That is not the point. The point is, that you'll would get a way to legally obtain CP. While easier on the clearweb, you need to be really careful, since visiting these sites is illegal and can get you v&.
This changes, if these transactions are permitted, because than, nothing in the chain, of obtaining CP through the blockchain, would be illegal, thus creating an legal way of retrieving(just retrieving, since uploading could easily be declared illegal) CP.

...

What's your point, that someone can get CP (a very small amount because bitcoin is a low bandwidth channel) without making a connection log entry to some clearnet site? We can already get CP over tor without any worry. Someone possibly being slightly safer when downloading CP is not a big enough deal to consider outlawing bitcoin. The act of someone downloading CP itself is not the problem, and you completely misunderstand the mainstream reason why CP law exists if you think otherwise. CP law isn't there to punish people for fapping to pictures of children, it's there to attempt to reduce the amount of child rape case.
Some stupid chan didn't come up with the CP steno idea. This isn't a new idea, it's an obvious consequence of the blockchain system. Literally everyone competent I know who talked about bitcoin back around 2009 already had this discussion, 9 years ago.

I'm pretty sure that's not his the point.
The point there is that one can easily upload files that will permanently stored/accessed in a distributed manner.

I don't think anyone claimed it was a novel idea.
Many people have already embedded things into the blockchain.
The merit there is the fact that it was actually implemented instead of just remaining as ideas that random autists were throwing around a decade ago.

My point is not that is easier or more anonymous.
My point is, that nothing about retrieving CP that way can be deemed as illegal. Downloading CP that way can only than be illegal if it is illegal to access certain parts of the Bitcoin-blockchain, at which point that can be exploited to generate money out of nowhere, just by claiming that you received money from somewhere within that banned zone. Alternatively if you say, that all money coming from these zones is invalid, than you are erasing money, which is a problem, since there is a limit on the total amount of bitcoins that can ever exist. That leaves only the possibility of permitting CP only if it's in the Bitoin-blockchain or banning the Bitcoin-blockchain altogether(which itself is hard because it is a multi-billion dollar thing now, not inherently illegal and would, by implication, ban the entire technology branch that is blockchain in general).

However it is the thing that can and is severely punished by law in most countries.
I am well aware of that, but I really don't want to start the shitfest of a discussion of whether or not this is accomplished by that. Still the problem that now obtaining CP legally(rather with absolute plausible deniability) is possible remains. As does the question of whether or not we can still sensibly ban CP without adding exceptions.
Yes, in fact the second post in the thread on millchan points that out, but I am not sure whether or not that can or should be waved away anymore

You are painfully retarded

This fucking thread again.

fucking RETARD

Child pornography is worse than fucking murder. It's their excuse for everything.

Care to explain why?
