Those who go to the deep web don't talk about the deep web.

You may have it confused with the dark web. Once you go in...coming out is impossible.....

I know
But I've always associated the dark web with drug trafficking , snuff films, and worse. Luckily never come across them as they might be a myth.

I don't go to the deep, dark web for the same reason I don't swim in the ocean. There are scary species in both settings with which I am completely unfamiliar. I don't do well when I'm not armed with knowledge. Given my disinterest in gaining knowledge about the deep, dark web it's best I stay away.

Deep Web sounds boring if that's what's on it.

Really interesting article I saw about how bitcoins could easily be a world currency. Cool stuff.
That was the dream but the Chinese that control Bitcoin are going to ruin that dream. They refuse to adjust the blockchain size and now transactions take a crazy long time to go through. People won't tolerate that, so now most people who are serious about Bitcoin more admit its a store of value (think gold) rather than a primary transaction network.
I think the cryptocurrency that has the best chance to be a major transaction network for everyday transactions is Ethereum. If the Ethereum developers can really pull of the transaction times they are promising with their proof of stake implementation then they will have claim to the first cryptocurrency that COULD scale to a point where Visa doesn't own 1% of all transactions. I am mining Ethereum right now myself to hoard some in case those developers pull it off.

I think the original large thread from a few years back got whacked. It was one of the more interesting ones I've read on here.
ETA: Realized I'm on the rant OT. The thread was in the other OT.

Do not know what you are going with that statement. Are you talking about going through Tor?
I always wondered, would visiting via a Virtual Machine be a safer bet? You can spin those up for pretty cheap in AWS or Azure and pay be the hour, but I guess it depends on what you want to do?

Why run a cloud-based VM? Just run one at home. VirtualBox, VMWare Player, and most Linux distributions are free.
