A photograph showing an alleged leaked Army document revealing a joint project to track anonymous cryptocurrencies seems to have come from a somewhat unlikely place. The photograph reveals some interesting things, one of which is the revelation that the National Security Agency (NSA) is conducting a joint project with the US Army’s Cyber Protection Team (CPT) from the Cyber Protection Brigade located in Fort Gordon, Georgia. The image, originally posted on 4chan’s /biz section which is their Business and Finance forum, is dated August 21st, 2017 and states:
Either an elaborate ruse or this guy just got fucked.
Jack Campbell
is anyone surprised?
Noah Jenkins
Probably they've invented cryptocurrencies, so of course they can track them. This mysterious Satoshi, saviour of mankind story - who can believe it? And it's reported all over the media - exactly what would be expected if they WANTED us to use cryptocurrencies.
If you can counter the assertions the guy made, feel free to do so anytime.
Josiah Green
for people who don't know
Juan Kelly
Looks fake. If real the id is from someone the guy wanted to get into real trouble.
That's not how it works. Buttcoin for example can be tracked because all transactions are public.
Jose Hall
wat?
How dare you link to another site talking about the same subject!
Jack Sanchez
That isn't an accurate translation, at all.

If true, it explains why ((Gregory Maxwell)) recently joined Monero as CTO.
Joshua Wright
brb deleting TOR and I2P and emptying out all my wallets because some guy wanted to fuck with cryptotards
Isaac Ortiz
Don't know whether this makes it more believable because it's the government, or less...
Dominic Hernandez
It's idiotic and would only pass as a joke, definitely a government document.
Thomas Green
we already knew this, please don't take this as FUD disable javascriptCSS is bad too
Chase Peterson
wtf is that about VPN and nodes? Are they just they own all VPNs?
Jaxon Cruz
Yeah the attack surface is really secure guys, this image is legit I mean look at the ID in the corner!
Lucas Allen
I use at least six
Levi Foster
That's how you know it's fake.
4chan blocks TOR/VPN etc so no spook insider is going to post something classified on 4chan when all it will take is the NSA sending a court order to Hiroyuki and getting the IP of the poster.
Charles Lewis
Except for that one time when a whistleblower did post on 4chan and everyone dismissed it as fuck and gay.
Leo Edwards
t. newfag
Ayden Collins
back to 4chan faggot

I'd like to pose a new question. If this were real...
What does this change for anyone on this board? Aside from changing the wording on a few memes?
In 2 weeks you'll all have a new juicy BS story to invade and label everyone in the convo as a "kike, nigger, cia clown, faggot"
Just go back to bed. None of you have ever proven you're worth being let out of the cage.
Owen Flores
Why could you possibly need that many? I use three, but even that feels a bit excessive.
Logan Watson
qutebrowser and Firefox for most things, depending on tradeoffs between extension-supported autism and qute-supported autism, Dillo for things that I don't want to execute javascript or put things in my cache or do much of anything really, sometimes surf when I'm in command line hell, w3m for some automation because I'm too lazy for proper programmatic cookie management, more Electron-based applications than I'm willing to admit, sometimes eww.
Mason Turner
Don't just spookpost and delete it, you're triggering my paranoid schizophrenia.
Jordan Rodriguez
What the fuck mate.
Dylan Kelly
Not only is all software terrible, a lot of software manages to be terrible in exciting new ways. The trick is to find the least terrible program for each task.
Tyler Wright
I believe in free software and investing development time into making the perfect software for myself.
Jace Reyes
I've contributed a few things to qutebrowser that I missed, but it remains true.
Dylan Taylor
Call James Henry and ask him.
Nolan Perry
I use qutebrowser, firefox, lynx if x isn't running, and chrome for Netflix. And I thought I was bad.
Nathan Peterson
With the spectre leaks and whatnot, why are you guys focused on software when your entire machine is exposed? Seems pointless.
Liam Brown
Should I just use Windows and Internet Explorer then?
Anthony Clark
it's not necassarily exposed if you own old, blob free hardware. The more hardcore users around are into that, hence the old thinkpad threads.
but yeah if you give even the slightest shit about your privacy, you need to start from the metal up
Andrew Bell
Linus's paw paw sez that the NSA approached him and tried to get him to backdoor Linux.
