BTW. Yesterday i found your post on Reddit... I discovered that it was really well appreciated there. Do you think WikiLeaks community is aware of possibilities which Steem blockchain gives to people (like... censorship resistant Steem network)?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If you follow the /r/wikileaks 'meta' closely, you'll see that a subset of users and mods (especially /u/kybarnet) are constantly posting about decentralization, ethereum and other blockchain solutions. So they're certainly aware.
The question I asked myself is, "What does it take to get
a fat lazy redditor off their fat asssomeone to spend 3 minutes making a new phone verified steemit account?"I decided the best way for me would be to try and post high quality content and goad users into making accounts so that they can argue with me and each other in the comments section.
Then after arguing with me hopefully they'll learn about what distinguishes Steemit from centralized competitors.
I've gotta say, I'm very happy with writing content on steem. The editor is a lot better than Reddit's. Also draft saving is awesome.
I do wish Steemit had the "Big Editor" button that Reddit Enhancement Suite has.
I hope you are aware of, that you do not have to give Steemit Inc your phone number. There are alternatives (which can be well appreciated by some people). You can create an account on: https://anon.steem.network/
Why there is a cost of account creation is well described in this article:
http://bytemaster.github.io/article/2016/02/10/How-to-build-a-decentralized-application-without-fees/
@dantheman wrote it even before Steem and Steemit existed - there is no other blockchain which has no fees!
Didn't know about the anonymous steem accounts! Very useful and I'll definitely pass it along to people I know who may be hesitant to make a PVA!
Thanks for the link on cost of account creation. Sometime in the nearish future (once I'm confident I fully understand Steemit myself) I will write up a post targeted specifically at the /r/wikileaks crowd to try and explain why they should migrate some of their posts here.
P.S. It looks like you speak Polish. Is the minor change between Google translate and the malware sample a correction?
It seems of strange to me that they'd slip in a couple of minor corrections... Just something I wasn't quite able to figure out.
But it is correct in the malware version but not in the Google translate version?
ie: z plików is correct and pliki is incorrect?
If so, I think it kind of implies they kind of knew how Polish nouns work, right? And made 1 correction, then left loads of other errors...
Very strange.
<p dir="auto">and <p dir="auto"><code>Możesz odszyfrować niektóre pliki <p dir="auto">both sounds pretty natural. 2nd is simpler and slightly better. First is more like: <ul> <li><code>You can decipher some among those files<br /> and 2nd is more like: <li><code>You can decipher some files.Możesz odszyfrować niektóre z plikówCool thanks!
I guess another possibility I hadn't previously considered is that Google translate improved their algorithm slightly since the hacker used it and I used it.
