If you were lucky and did well out of this then please consider knocking the last 2 digits off you ANT payment and sending them to to the faucet Community faucet (testing) at Arb address
0x270A246bcdD03A4A70dc81C330586882a6ceDF8fAnd if you are really flush, how about chucking in a little ETH to keep it all running?

Motivation 
Can’t have a button that does nothing.
I must say that getting my head out of the node running rabbit hole has been a breath of fresh air.

I can tell you that they do. And Apple and all the other big ones. now that doesn’t mean that the data can be decrypted. Apple claimed (previously) it could not.
I get this info from a person (now retired) who was helping Google (a long time ago) both understand the reason and what has to be done to allow the authorities access. They were (loosely) employed by microsoft in the area of protection (child) and protocols for allow access to storage systems by the authorities. I had quite a few long discussions around this and learnt quite a bit about this area. I mentioned this in some posts around the time the foundation was being setup.
Yep and I got to talk to one of the people who was “loaned” to companies a long time ago to help with the implementation of these systems. Google was dragged into this kicking and screaming at the time, when they were a different breed of operation.

Indeed the days of 200 (or 500) ant packets falling from the sky are now folklore.

It was fun… while it lasted… the first 2-3 days or so, haha.
I turned off half my nodes for a while this past week… but looking forward to the next release… and will then turn them back on… (hardware is already paid for so might as well let it contribute as long as the hardware stays online).
