If they didn't bother to secure the data it couldn't have been that important. Them not paying just confirms this.

Reply to Japanese gamers mercilessly roast a person trying to brag about the Western Gaming Industry by Mrwarmind
Western gaming industry is pretty much the bottom of the barrel these days and everyone knows this, except for the delusional. The only saving grace are independent, small teams.

Reply to Is Dogecoin a good way to get your feet wet with cryptocurrencies without risking any real money? by Jelello
Just make sure that whatever cryptocurrency you buy, can be traded in exchanges otherwise you will never be able to cash it out.
You are wise wanting to experiment with it without risking any real money, cryptocurrencies are highly instable and impossible to predict, treat it like a lottery, you can get lucky, not because you are smart, but because it´s luck, and more often than not, you will lose everything.

I have a psychological resistance to sending cash in the mail since it could get stolen, but that is a good point. If you just do regular cash donations of smaller amounts, some will get there and maybe some won't. I wouldn't want to send hundreds through the mail at once though. I would also want some confirmation from the site I'm donating to that they received it. I wouldn't want to send gold since it would be more expensive to ship than just sending cash.

Anglin does publish some insightful articles about politics so I check the site now and then.
I agree with him on some things but he also has some very fucked up views and is probably a rapist.
I say he's probably a rapist because he has said repeatedly that women are naturally evil and deserve to be beaten and raped. He has also encouraged guys to do "stealthing" and things like that to get women pregnant against their will.

The search and RSS feeds could certainly be better, I agree.
For search, the best thing to do now is do something like this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aramble.pw%2Ff%2Fprivacy+signal+app&t=h_&ia=web
Search query: site:ramble.pw/f/privacy signal app and that'll search /f/privacy for posts/threads containing, 'signal app'. The site gets crawled on the other networks too, I believe you can do the same query with legwork.i2p as well.

I really have been surprised they haven't done MUCH more. The entire history of Bitcoin transactions is recorded publicly. If someone paid a coin in ransom, every subsequent transaction with that coin can be tracked back to it. I know the bitcoin banks do "mixing", but to me that just seems to be a wild card -- the feds could do what they hope, which is treat the new coins like they are born innocent by the miracle of mixing, as they seem to do now. But they could also try to tax the fraction of each coin's value that came from ransom, or use asset forfeiture on the coins like they do a yacht with a reefer in a back cabin, or declare every owner of every descendant coin jointly and severally liable for all the ransom-related damages, even if most of the money can't be found. I mean, they have a LOT of cards to play, and I don't understand why they held off for so long.

There is something very bizarre about the payments racket. I don't have any understanding of how utterly vile platforms like PayPal, which claims a unilateral right to rob anyone of $2500 for any reason it sees fit, ever were able to come to exist, let alone how they exclude alternatives.
I don't even understand why just plain mailing money is out of fashion. I mean, if you put a $20 in an envelope, and it doesn't arrive 1.4% of the time, how does that differ from paying 1.4% of your purchase in tribute to the credit card monopoly?
But apart from that, anybody anywhere who has any resource could be a payment processor of sorts. Doesn't have to be cryptocurrency. I mean, if you buy $50 in gold from Bob's Pawn Shop and say ship it to your buddy at Daily Stormer, that's a way to make a payment, isn't it? You just need to have some solid agreement about what the going market rate for the gold is, and people willing to work on low margins.
