Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, couldn't you drop content on the blockchain? Not a traditional website, but relatively anonymous (depending on how you move the coin), and more importantly, it can't be seized or taken down (kinda scary when you think about the potentially implications for everyone who downloads the blockchain)

From the way the question was phrased, I think this is precisely for learning how to do such things. You still need to start somewhere, and as long as you know you should not take inconsiderate risks, you can screw up sometimes and learn from your errors.
Importantly, you don't get to learn from your mistakes in "opsec." Dread Pirate Roberts asked a question about connecting to a tor site using curl on StackOverflow under his own name. Seconds later he realized "D'oh, that is in hindsight a bad move." and changed his name to a pseudonym. Choose your own adventure: a) He got to learn from his mistake. b) That incident was recounted years later in the criminal indictmen…
Eh, I still think they used the NSA + parallel construction to bring him down. I've read the court docs, and I still think that's the case.
Of course, your point is still valid. Perhaps even more so.

#43Much like security, you pick your countermeasures in advance in the hopes of raising the cost of an attacker to penetrating your security. You're not anonymous. You're anonymous to an adversary with a given amount of technical/legal/intelligence/etc resources to bring to bear on deanonimizing you. People will probably give you links which describe adequate methods for securing you against adversaries without $1,000 o…

#44Launching and maintaining fully anon site is close to impossible.
And maybe not worth a hassle depending on your purpose of course.
Instead - register Twitter nick and link your tweets to pastebin or similar repository where you'd post something worthy of reading.
Use Tor for all above.

#46Maybe someone with experience of such hosting? Like: http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net I should add: Goes under US Law, so forget pirating or illegal content.
Nearlyfreespeech is explicitly not for anonymous hosting. They are just very unlikely to take anything down without a court order forcing them to do so.

What are the technical differences between Tor (hidden services), Freenet and I2P?
Initially, Tor and I2P only pass information from one node to another while obfuscating it. At either end, you can now what the information is, but you do not know where it went through. It's basically a tunnel that goes somewhere . It is why you can use Tor to browse the web: you just use it to hide where you are connecting from. On the other hand, Freenet is a paranoia-driven network over the Internet which makes i…
Is any of them good for SSH (MOSH) access to computers behind NAT?

#48What is really hard is to have a secure (SSL) anonymous website with a valid SSL Cert.

That's actually not so different from usual way. Matter of trust is generally hard.
