While I appreciate the reluctance to operate in fourteen-eyes/SSEUR, where do people trust to be secure outside SSEUR?

I would be very interested to know what you think a VPN provider could do to assure users that the servers are safe. I've yet to see an example verifiable safe server configuration, but some people have claimed that SGX might do. I&#x2

This is actually less insane than it sounds. Most VPN providers rent space at traditional datacenter providers like Equanix. Search for "dedicated server hosting" and "colocation providers" for the exact same list of ven

Very true! Unfortunately, your RPi is going to have only one user in responsible for traffic. Commercial VPN providers act as a multiplexer to hide who is responsible for what traffic. Ideally you'd have at least a Type III anonymous r

I've set up scripts to convert an existing virtualbox/vagrant .box file to a vmware compatible OVF. I would use those to deliver to clients at my last employer. I know github is doing a similar process. Additionally there's mccloud, which l

You should know that people have been trying reputation-style digital currencies since at least the early nineties. They require a ton of bootstrapping to get anywhere. That's because you end up with a trading system that's looks like a for

I hadn't heard of that! I'll be sure to mention it on our opt-out page, along with adblock.

We thought about how much people would hate us if we did some digg-bar thing like that. We'll leave the being debatably evil to google. As for the GPU-accelerated JS, check out WebCL: http://webcl.nokiaresearch.com/

We thought so too! But then we realized that if you're going to download and install a miner, you probably want one that's actually fast. Browser plugins, which are almost all javascript these days, are basically the worst of both worlds fr

Fortunately, that's not actually true. If the community agrees when the last valid block is, all the transactions before that will be accepted as trustworthy. The DHT (now moving to freenet) ensures that this transaction history is reliable

We're looking into the best way to let adblock users turn us off, as well as a cookie based opt-out.

That's pretty interesting! We'll give it a look and see how much it improves things.

I'm one of the developers of bitp.it. We're still working on an opt-out cookie, but for now we encourage you to use adblock. I'll be throwing a howto up later this afternoon.

Not exactly. If you look a bit closer, you'll see that this isn't just a strict child, otherwise they might have managed by swapping a foreign key or something. In a graph db, you'd still have to reconnect dangling edges that no longer make

Way to build a short and beautiful step path to the land of Not Invented Here. It's one think not to write a tutorial to using one of the well supported OAuth gems. But you didn't actually commit to helping people either. If (and when) some

Seems like this author just doesn't realize how painful migrating to OAuth is for a service provider. Of course xAuth isn't a real security improvement to HTTP Basic. But it forces everyone to support auth that isn't inherently broken. So o

Kinda strange that they don't lump android and linux. What exactly is this 'platform' they speak of? It's not the browser used I guess. But it's not like they're calling KDE and Gnome separate platforms either.
