You could say the same about BitTorrent. Liberty Reserve and e-gold didn't offer any distinguishing features for "legitimate" users. Bitcoin does. That alone is enough to break down that entire comparison. Coinbase and BitPay make this a non-issue, through instant exchange. I think a few...

What I personally miss there (and in many other tools), is the possibility to do cropping and basic annotation (arrows, freehand line drawing, boxes/circles). I also don't like FTP :)

They seem to be sent out slowly, some people were reporting receiving it over an hour after I got it.

You should really use htmlspecialchars rather than htmlentities. htmlentities is known to cause problems with Unicode, even when the encoding parameter is set. EDIT: Actually, on second look - that is entirely unnecessary here. This is a mail form, and as far as I can tell, it would be sent as...

This. Bolding for importance: never ever ever ever EVER trust the client to do the validation, no matter what you're validating. Client-side validation is purely for user experience purposes (such as instant feedback and marking invalid fields before the form is submitted), not for security.

Just got this e-mail from ChicagoVPS... we really want you back, just pre-pay for 3 years! Wasn't 3-year prepayment informally considered the "deadpool mark" back in LEA days?

They didn't. They changed it to 80%.

That's odd, because in my experience, Vanilla is second only to MediaWiki in terms of logging paranoia. It even keeps every single edit revision of a post.

Interesting. I was under the impression that you were patting yourself on the back over being so "transparent"? Ah, the classic "yeah, well, back then it was not a lie!". Never mind that that was 2 weeks ago. That about summarizes my thoughts on this. It's not exactly the first "transparency"...

I normally use Owely - it's cross-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux) and allows for annotations (drawing + text). 50MB free (which is plenty unless you're a heavy user), and 1GB extra for $12/year. It's purely a hosted service, though, so won't be suitable if you want to host your images yourself...

It's not that simple. Have a read here.

There's always http://www.constant.com/cloud/vps/. Choopa, but not -that- cheap.

What I want to know, is why an archaic banking system with a low-entropy shared key mechanism is still in wide use.

This has been explained in various posts throughout the thread.

There has been talk for a while, of newer brickphones coming with always-on eavesdropping functionality. Seems plausible, given recent revelations... especially since these phones are popular as "burnphones".

A well publicized case was this.

Uhm.... I'm sure that's why we've been stuck with NAT for the past 10 years.

Whoops, didn't notice that post :)

Not exactly.

Hmm, looks like the screenshot links in the original post are gone? Can you reupload them on imgur or something?
