After 6 years of providing cryptocurrency news and analysis it appears the cryptocurrency website is closing their doors for good due to a shift in Google’s algorithm.

This >50% drop occur on lot of other sites with not paid Ad to Google. I also find more difficult to find best related stuff in Google results, because of more Ads.

I have noticed significantly lower quality content from Google searches since the change. It’s quite frustrating that not only are they giving me worse results, but they’re making high quality sites (I really like ccn) go offline. :rage:

Surly they don’t actually want to isolate themselves? How would people communicate with family and friends abroad, or do business?

Are they using a hammer to crack a nut from a security perspective?

What ever the reason, SAFEnetwork will solve it.

The truely free future lies in those cube satellites that so many non-profits have tried to launch. A meshnet of those covering every inch of the planet, offering free, uncensored, unrestricted internet AND ideally hosting SAFE vaults… well it’s pretty much the only way towards a free humanity at this point.

Time to get DDR4 memory.

Still not safe (though they do mention something about DDR4 with TTR enabled, so now I’m confused):

As such, any system that uses Rowhammer-susceptible DIMMs is vulnerable. Previous research has demonstrated bit flips on both DDR3 and DDR4 with TRR (targeted row refresh) enabled.

Hardware exploits have become common these past two years. Computer security has been fundamentally broken for all these years and we had no idea. With hardware this insecure, does it make sense to talk about computer security even? Everything we do is borderline meaningless at this point, akin to mere wishful thinking.

They recommend DDR4 as mitigation.

They write something to the effect of “we can’t say it’s safe but we think it’s probably okay”.

As you could expect, the India law proposal of 10-year jail for dealing in cryptocurrency is clickbait: see article below.

Its DDR4 with TRR The targeted row refresh is apparently more difficult to induce ram bleed.

Also they say that not all DDR4 can be induced to bleed, and that manufacturers need to test their DRAM better to help prevent ram bleed.
