That works, to varying degrees, until the provider gets a letter from law enforcement. And unless you find some provider willing to take crypto, you are doxxing yourself when you pay.
yes it's better to keep a digital paper trail in a public permanent log.

Several domain registrars / hosting providers (including Njalla) accept Monero, which is as untraceable as you can be. Or Monero can be used to indirectly pay a bitcoin invoice very easily (even Namecheap accepts bitcoin)
can you buy monero with cash?

I think the fact that they publish the site in a readable state first and adding the paywall after some time (after getting indexed / shared a bit) and services like archive.is just provide a copy of the original state makes it debatable if this is a circumvention. If I publish a project on GitHub with a BSD license and after some time switch to a proprietary license the old code would still be licensed under BSD, ri…
The content published on the site in the open was never licensed to you though. Lets say I make a movie and do a free screening of it in a public park to get people talking about it. That doesn't mean that it's ok for someone to record that screening and for people later to go looking for that recording rather than paying to watch the movie. And being sent to a computer and stored in memory to render it to you doesn'…

#34Host it on gitee dot com to avoid takedown nonsense. I sometimes mirror repos on there. There is also radicle dot xyz.
I was just wondering if radicle would be a good answer to this problem. I haven't tried it yet, but read about it with great interest and couple months ago.

#35I can't believe Github processed this incredibly spurious DMCA request that didn't even detail what was being infringed beyond some vague "anti-circumvention technology". Plus it checks for archived and cached versions of an article so that somehow makes it circumvention?! The author has already been kicked off Gitlab, so I'm not sure where else realistically they can go that wouldn't fold to copyright holders. Sourc…

It doesn't matter. You can buy Bitcoin with cash, convert the Bitcoin to Monero and then as soon as you send that Monero to your own wallet, you're done. You have digital cash to spend anonymously.

The author did post it. I'm pretty sure the bpc_updates repo was managed by magnolia, and that's where it was linked
They didn't post it on their Twitter, which as far as I know, is their only other social media presence. https://x.com/Magnolia1234B

Ideally, cash with no INSERT IDENTIFICATION so there's no flow of value to audit. ATMs are out!

which limits it to very small amounts or the proceeds of crime.
Or am I missing something?

The way Monero works, you can simply have two monero addresses/IDs. The one you get the initial coins (cash, bank transfer, doesn’t matter), then transfer to the second one. Then you can buy whatever you want anonymously from the second one. That’s the whole point of monero, that it is not possible to trace transfers, to the contrary of bitcoins where every transfer is in the ledger. Or am I missing something?
blinding hatred of crypto? Otherwise, nothing as far as I know.
