For people who already know what and why we need better OPSEC. We have been operating under an assumption that doxxing comes with high costs and requires intensive resources. And that deanonymisation is possible but expensive, that linking a forum account to a real identity takes a skilled…

Syncing a stressnet node takes a while, so if you want to try out FCMP++ before its mainnet release, this…

This is a practice network for a Monero upgrade called FCMP++ and Carrot. It is not mainnet. The coins on it are not your real coins. Your normal wallet stays where it is. A node is just the program that downloads the chain and talks to other computers. The test needs its own node. The one you…
Hi While reading the discussion under Whats next at Stasher, what direction shall we move in? , I realized it was time to try something I've had on my mind for a while. One thing stood out in the comments: people want content that's worth reading and worth bookmarking and coming back to.…
Since 1971 the paper currencies have all been losing what they can buy, and the measure is annual consumer prices, with the early years estimated. The Swiss franc did the least bad and it is still down about 66%, the yen is down about 71%, and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are both down…
It's truly a miracle of this age that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can access and study hundreds of years of humanity's intellectual legacy, thanks to free culture projects such as Project Gutenberg. But I realised there's not enough information on this area of the Internet.…
In my quest to investigate the rising RAM and storage prices, as I am looking to upgrade my workstation and build a NAS with plenty of storage for backups and media, I've been researching, ironically with AI, the market prices, the current and forecasted trends, and the news surrounding these…

First week of sn and here are some things I learned. I noticed myself spending more and more time on stasher.news lately, as this is one of the most refreshing sites I have found, and I would like to share what I have learned after hanging around for a while - sharing is caring. Starting with The…
We all know the idea of separating money from the state. The Myth of the Rule of Law by John Hasnas was the first time I saw someone try the harder cut IRL (non-fiction): separating law / lawmaking from the state. (The real first time I ran into the idea was in Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh…
First published July 5, 2018 Came across this essay on the internets, hope it educates you the reader as much as it educated me. I admit I used to believe in Bitcoin. I was one of its most naïve and vehement apologists to friends, family members, and complete strangers (online). This was all before…
The Depoliticization of Law John Hasnas Advocates of the privatization of law often assume that unless law springs from some act of agreement, some express or implicit social contract by which individuals consent to be bound, it is nothing more than force. In this Article, I argue that this is a…
