One could use Bitmessage for leaks - just create a channel and let people publish data to it.

Alice has created a file containing random data. Authorities think it is an encrypted volume and wants Alice to give up the key. Alice has no way to prove it is just a file with random data and is imprisoned indefinitely for essentially having a file with random data =]

Smoking a joint isn't illegal. Possession without licence is.

Why tracker? You can find most stuff using Google and various file sharing services.

Well, he shouldn't stay especially if this is something he loves.

> (and very expensive too).

It is expensive because of its legal situation. Cannabis is essentially weed and is very easy to grow, thus if not for the law, it is actually very cheap.

But you assume only one stream will be played at a time which is unlikely.

Sounds like noise can cause "hash collision" and pick up whatever there is in the brain map

It is possible, but sometimes it is not. If you sent money to wrong account, bank can't just take it back from other party account.

On the other hand, I by mistake sent bitcoin to a wrong address and couldn't believe that someone who owned that address sent me all bitcoins back week or so later. There are good souls out there :)

We are still at the beginnings. With Bitcoin you are your own bank and some people are not used to have such responsibility and freedoms it gives.

In order for socialism to work, it needs access to every bit of money a worker earns so the part of it can be successfully redistributed. Because countries that implement socialism sooner or later will run out of money (as socialism by its nature is not sustainable), they will go to enormous lengths to discover any funds that are not declared and can be redistributed. Some countries are so desperate they want to stop using the cash at all. Humanity will always find solution to the oppression, one is the Bitcoin.

It is also good idea to invest in quality bedding and some nice throws, pillows and to just make it look like a bed in a good hotel. It takes more time to make the bed then, but sooner or later you'll get good at it :)
