A photograph showing an alleged leaked Army document revealing a joint project to track anonymous cryptocurrencies seems to have come from a somewhat unlikely place. The photograph reveals some interesting things, one of which is the revelation that the National Security Agency (NSA) is conducting a joint project with the US Army’s Cyber Protection Team (CPT) from the Cyber Protection Brigade located in Fort Gordon, Georgia. The image, originally posted on 4chan’s /biz section which is their Business and Finance forum, is dated August 21st, 2017 and states:

Probably they've invented cryptocurrencies, so of course they can track them. This mysterious Satoshi, saviour of mankind story - who can believe it? And it's reported all over the media - exactly what would be expected if they WANTED us to use cryptocurrencies.

That's not how it works. Buttcoin for example can be tracked because all transactions are public.

Don't know whether this makes it more believable because it's the government, or less...

It's idiotic and would only pass as a joke, definitely a government document.

That's how you know it's fake.
4chan blocks TOR/VPN etc so no spook insider is going to post something classified on 4chan when all it will take is the NSA sending a court order to Hiroyuki and getting the IP of the poster.

qutebrowser and Firefox for most things, depending on tradeoffs between extension-supported autism and qute-supported autism, Dillo for things that I don't want to execute javascript or put things in my cache or do much of anything really, sometimes surf when I'm in command line hell, w3m for some automation because I'm too lazy for proper programmatic cookie management, more Electron-based applications than I'm willing to admit, sometimes eww.

it's not necassarily exposed if you own old, blob free hardware. The more hardcore users around are into that, hence the old thinkpad threads.
