Hello, my name is Arnaud. While studying political science and macroeconomics, I became passionate about the impact of information technology on collective intelligence and democratization/decentralization (liquid democracy). My vision being absent from this burgeoning field, I decided to launch my own civic tech. The MVP is a voting software for trade unions, boards of directors, associations, coops, etc. We have an incorporated company in Québec and we have already helped one client organization to vote online with success.

My ambition is to develop a governance platform allowing all the aspects of democratic governance: information sharing on profiles and groups, delegation of powers, debates, collaborative agenda-setting, etc. Beyond the exercise of power, my vision for Agora Vote (and Agora Social) is also to participate in the creation of a cognitively healthy, decentralized and interoperable information ecosystem by staying up to date with the latest standards in decentralized social networks (Activitypub, Nostr, etc.), decentralized identities (SSI, proof-of-personhood) and obviously cryptography (ZKP, homomorphic encryption). I am looking for a dev or ideally a cryptographic engineer to help me with the product.

Cryptography challenge! You have this 300 digit semiprime 543027777024556327575444314595092179356845334229662726569044783202816221229054468511017222613248898193617776566921472708003641016859442296163929218065797541279767185543448587909900013453215282988430953249321452919150028928728631353616051470785378887830941869759586353827866921190831808065846312673327 now, factoring this without any additional information is computationally impossible. However, knowing the first half of one of its prime factors, we can solve for the remainder. The challenge is, knowing the first 75 digits of its prime factor, to solve for the second half of this prime factor (i.e. its remaining 75 digits). Here is the first half of the prime factor (first 75 of 150 digits): 749273627382725637344368456384568543654654765476574565476464356654657844366 now you have to find the 75 remaining digits, good luck!

Imagine this: there is a 300-digit semiprime, and you are given the first half of one of its prime factors (i.e., you are given the first 75 of 150 digits of that prime factor). Would you be able to solve the second half of that prime factor in 1-5 days?

Hi, I am selling the answer to a complex cryptography problem for €1,500. This is the factorization of a 2000-digit RSA. When you compress the response, you can do whatever you want with it; You can make it public or you can keep it private and sell it for a higher price. As a test, below I will write the semiprime along with the first digits of its 2 prime factors:

-Semiprime: 85501399376676193093126043819972126116018204582764774759117382283934376844413889876065143779581545516723480363706907323716230138324631183094429469460760227376985048745703766322120357498061301263669602759884765390153159031651047205251099483547094423452301329205639671548446224529394402281460722959344583951368234662129445395416104170308495264060315590600545660558697512719557892537206396147015212036139975934587714995934067018673974703952067923707231656390521906663779458630325441797035168450296096339846980645321658753832440671327328628084376904432890807037489755602673396543145348036674261210763033945923977576032430517375952548543048223352453549305551825402627148649728357431283212184831698215348462436965335734143155600577185429354759485793232785615127247086725811607437774787606165251758515146280430403345586902690721969709329523314909048134698316129931286448116094125308218903133466343757648685504278380785220888471392901586400168976158398508827645612274242875751429898589860457085876901921686080474667729716555271487658202267589539774002976875036028282586450470984262585027573388513583266225791381080140722374443604369050019852834193770190360101671405727262269880157603245922053909334765036219370699932274689155611434248897953592948649067026884924376600974308238007061120447141484144696975194317133165237704281954355647731680567065549868320176566424351549205178494587574311978014877708027627119765911478598976398786959788986238991728469062425439222436489388855662281911714790161953348965065833696197912984935755342833402342767202441539487852443827587005330571670306000106319754849484170539141160289802469453220254440355210887739574271740535085136591494671684229904223751078014670429907695030905017189360448839483554344507120745429151427852331052729954636151161255082835208033701784254263544354701825635473038996122177767923033520121586913395958798687806904934641486184213974739303058146067375078321799025596673081876554277347000451540558210378621215839121195069898741197220110849398846743412147

HI GUYS! i am an 16 y/o teen that i am in love with maths,and especially number theory,i think that cryptography is what i want to do in my life.i would like to have an olnine friend that have a background of cryptography to help me,and why not to make ours cryptography system(now i am working my first),if somebody likes the idea please text me,thank you👍

Hello, as a fellow crypto anarchist and researcher I wanted to share some protocols I found recently around the original cypherpunk vision called logos.co seems to be some neat developments in decentralised messaging, storage and new layer 1. Give it a read! https://logos.co/manifesto

I did not fly in may and it’s random appearance on bed side pillow is quite odd to say the least

Hey :) I'm new to this Reddit and new to cryptography in general, started to take a look into it and goodness it was tantalizing lol...

I was determined at first but the aspiration fell through, and with life just haven't been able to keep studies on it. So I need some help, There is a Cypher that's was recently gave to us but we don't know even know the decryption method.... and not a soul has deciphered the code yet... leading to once again another dead-end a 3 year man hunt for answers....

​

That's where I hope one of you come in :) I'm hoping a more skilled Cryptographer can step in and if I share all the knowledge surrounding the cypher and where we are at with could possibly solve this... Don't want top post all the information if someone isn't willing to dive into it for fun just thought I would ask :)

TL;DR: Any ideology based on banning private property is dead thanks to cryptographically-enforced private property.

Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts(sometimes called dApps), and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations(DAOs) each represents three different forms of unbannable private property. What is private property? Our definition of private property is straightforward; it's any piece of property that the government doesn't own. But even if we go by the left's irrelevant definition, we will see that each of these 3 technologies meets their definition of private property. And since each of these technologies are inherently unbannable, one can only conclude that the far left is ideologically dead.

So how does the far left define private property? Here are a few excerpts from a few different leftists:

”We are opposed to the kind of [private] property “which can be used only to exploit people — land and buildings, instruments of production and distribution, raw materials and manufactured articles, money and capital.” [Nicholas Walter, About Anarchism, p. 40]

"If your mom made a living off fixing neighbors clothes, and accepted money for it, then [the sewing machine] would be considered private property. If she employs people and takes part of the revenue for the work done by employees, that shit's getting seized." Here we see how communists define private property. If you use property to make money, it's private property. And if you make money using your private property while hiring others, that's doubly offensive.

Here are some others on money in particular:

"Yes, communism seeks to abolish money, but nobody knows how a moneyless post-capitalist system would run."

"[Money] needs to be abolished there is no way to have money and not have material individualism."

"Abolish Money!" This one is particularly interesting becuase leftist-anarchists like to claim that anarcho-capitalists aren't real anarchists because 100 years ago the 'original' anarchists were anti-capitalists. At the same time, some modern anarchists say that money is fine, and doesn't need to be abolished(likely because they realized Bitcoin killed their entire ideology overnight). When debating these fools, send them to this article, and be sure to tell them to check the date it was published(1900).

So now let's go one by one and use technology to destroy the far left's horrific hopes and dreams.

#Money

Money is the obvious one. Cryptocurrencies are unbannable forms of money. Their inherent decentralized structure means that not even china, who has complete control of their nations internet, could ban it. The weakest link in crypto space are the centralized exchanges. However, thanks to mining and stores that accept CCs like SilkRoad and OpenBazaar, it's possible to acquire CCs and spend them without going through a centralized exchange. Not to mention, decentralized exchanges will be a thing one day.

#Property that you use to earn money

This one is solved by boths Smart Contracts and DAOs, but I'm going to focus on Smart Contracts. Smart Contracts are awesome. If you haven't read my article on them, check out what I wrote here. They can compute anything that a normal program can, but are also unbannable thanks to being decentralized. For our purposes, we can think of Smart Contracts as unbannable programs. Programs are property. Even open source programs are property. When a programer creates a program, they have the freedom to open source the code or not because they own their code(assuming they haven't agreed to give up ownership of the code in exchange for something else). If they do decide to open source their code, they also have the freedom to attach a license(any license) onto their code or not- because they own their code. It's their property. In fact, software in general can be thought of as just digital factories- it takes in inputs, and spits out some outputs. And like physical factories, someone owns them. So we've established programs and code are property. But is it private property? Going by the leftist definitions, yes, it can be.

Take CryptoKitties for instance. CryptoKitties is a SmartContract that lives on the Ethereum blockchain. The idea is you can trade and breed these digital cats with other users, while the company earns a fixed percentage of each trade. CryptoKitties was in fact created by an entrepreneur who hired people to help him make the product. His employees probably get paid a salary, while his company gets paid directly through the SmartContract. In fact, we can see the exact addresses that CryptoKities sends its revenue to, along with who has control over which parts of the Smart Contract: https://etherscan.io/address/0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d#code The "contract KittyAccessControl" is particularly interesting. CryptoKitties was made by a team, but you could imagine if it was made by a single person. There's nothing really stopping a single person from making CKs. Either way, CKs is property that is owned by an individual or a few individuals, and is used to make a profit. And it's unbannable. The revenue from CKs will always go to the owner of the contract. That makes CKs an unbannable form of private property by their own definition.

#Instruments/Tools/Means of production

But what about the physical computers and keyboards that the programmers use to create the unbannable programs? Couldn't those at least be seized? Nope. That's where DAOs come in. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations mother fucker. DAOs are a beast. Imagine a company with no headquarters, and no one knows who the owners or employees are, or where they're located. DAOs are built on top of Smart Contracts, but instead of a cute game like CryptoKitties, they allow an entrepreneur to codify a business structure in such a way that anyone can perform a task and get paid for it in a completely decentralized fashion. In such a business, it would be impossible to "seize the means of production". Even if the government tracked down one employee and stole their computer, the DAO would still automatically find a new employee to do work, potentially in a completely separate country. And even if the government tracked down the owner of the DAO, the DAO itself still might not be seizeable, assuming the owner stores their private keys in their head. Think of the Uber business model, but on steroids. Or think 'working from home' taken to the extreme. Here's a good article on DAOs. Uber by itself actually is very interesting. Uber doesn't own any cars, the drivers own their own car. However, the Uber App isn't on the blockchain, so technically it could be banned or seized. However, if Uber were a DAO, it would become an unbannable form of private property.

Far leftists would point out that DAOs also enable "woker owned businesses", which is true. A DAO could be programmed to fit any sort of business structure. Unfortunately for them, capitalism doesn't care at all what individuals do, as long as they don't steal or damage other people's private property, or break a contract that they agreed to. Worker co-ops like Mondragon Corporation are as capitalist as Chicken McNuggets. Far leftists on the other hand don't extend this same level of freedom to us, which is why their ideologies are predicated on violence. In order for them to succeed, private property must be completely banned, and their very specific business model must be enforced at gunpoint. Luckily for us, we have cryptography and economics on our side. They may be able to ban certain forms of physical private property like apartments(although even that could be solved by an AirBnB Smart Contract), but they will never be able to ban all of it, or even a fraction of it. Other far leftists such as left-anarchists believe that if we get rid of the government, private property won't be enforceable, and will just automatically disappear. They believe a government is required for private property enforcement. They're completely wrong. Cryptographically-enforced private property is here to stay. They can scream and shout exploitation all they want, but their ideology is completely and utterly unenforceable, and is thus effectively dead. Good riddens.

In conclusion

• Any ideology predicated on completely banning private property is dead

• Any ideology predicated on the idea that private property will disappear if the government does as well is dead.

If you like this post and want to explore this topic further, feel free to sub and post to /r/AnarchoCryptography. It's a crypto-anarchist sub specifically for ancaps.

We now live in a world where certain forms of private property literally can not be banned. The far-left, and everyone else who wants to ban private property is dead, and cryptography killed them.

To celebrate this I made a new Circle A, which I call the Crypto A. The 'A' stands for anarchy, and the C stands for both cryptography and capitalism. The 2 horizontal lines represent money and wealth. The double bars are actually taken from the Euro €.
