The UK doesn't benefit from protecting these dependencies and we're a change of government away from seeing them all brought to heel.

"The new firmware 1.3.3 is immune against this attack since it (1) requires a PIN to compute the public key and (2) uses branch-free computations for deriving the public key from the private key."

Out of interest, is there any movement between your offices? For example - if I started with you in London, would it be possible to transfer to the SF office using an L1 visa?

Hetzner used to have a bad rep for simply disabling accounts of people getting DDoSd. The have recently claimed to have improved on this https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/ddos-schutz

Price has jumped a bit from your presentation.

I don't know much about Zcoin. Looks promising if the description is to be believed.

Stripe Atlas does this. Geared towards internet businesses but still could be useful - https://stripe.com/atlas

Every crypto-currency has it's zealots but that's not to detract from what Snowden said about Monero, labelling it "amateur crypto".

Ring signatures have been around longer than zk-snarks so time will tell on that comment.

I do however believe Zcash could be doing a better job for privacy, notably by mandating private transactions once the new "JUBJUB"optimizations have been merged [0].

Classic whataboutism.

There's also the famous tweet were Zooko said he'd consider bypassing anonymity of ZCash in order to help authorities catch the WannaCry hackers [0] [lol j/k]

I like ZCash but I think Z-transactions (anonymous) should be the default as there has been advances in the performance and memory requirements [1]

My salary in the UK was £27.5k (North West England), I moved to Toronto and now I get paid £60,000 (about £70,000 including bonus and pension).

Best offer just prior to moving was £45k but that involved a move to London which would have hit my bottom line more than just staying put.

Toronto rents are about half London and other living costs are lower (electricity, transit etc).

Faster payments is one of the best systems I've used having lived in several countries. Paypal funds to a UK bank usually takes a few minutes.

Here in Canada they have the Interac E-Transfer which is money by email and not usually free $1-$2 per transfer.

It also has a question/answer security component which can be annoying if you simply want to send someone money.

How is this different than Bitmessage?

Statements from officials are not case law.

Just because the immigration chief in Chiang Mai over 3 years ago said remote work is ok, doesn't mean it will always be this way.

You are at the mercy of the officer in front of you.

So are Saudi Arabia's, yet they are not in the same situation.

Where did you see the $40 min with OVH?

It's even worse than that. It's probable that in some cases both sides of the "mix" had connections to these illegal markets.

Vendors mixing coins with each other.

Creating a private transaction uses up a lot of computation and memory resources.

No mining pool, exchange or high throughput business is going to send secure transactions.

Although, maybe they could charge extra for it.

Court documents detail 12k of Monero and an unknown amount from Cazes' personal wallet.

The website Grams kept a list of vendor's public keys. It appears from cross checking against that roster that not all keys were changed.

I diffed a key I recently used on Hansa with one the same vendor on Grams and it appears that the key wasn't updated.

Maybe this was done on a case-by-case basis or Grams updated their keys to the new LE keys.

All Tor hidden service traffic is encrypted. You don't need SSL but you can use it.

It's hard to find an SSL provider that will sign a .onion domain though.
