What's the TL;DR?

Spend 5 min reading the first few blocks couldn't make out what's this about.

Nice try at spinning blame here, if publisher's didn't use such scamy Ad platforms and tracking we would be here.

Re:Cypherpunks Tapping Bitcoin via Ham Radio on Thursday June 27, 2019 @12:37PM (#20296054)
1. I'm not in the USA and i'm licensed. You could say the ITU may take issue.

2. The spirit of the law is in regards to actual financial interest, this were meaningless amounts and also testnet.

3. Transactions were not actually done over Ham, the transaction data was relayed over ham and broadcasted via internet. (long history of HAM 3rd party message relay).

4. No encrypted messages were transmitted. (and encryption is allowed as long as the cypher is public)

5. The spirit of ham is technical experimentation.

6. These tests were intended for use in countries where the laws don't matter and or in emergencies. In case of emergency it would be allowed to make financial transactions and/or send encrypted messages.

I feel like most rhetoric around that is usual internet-lawyering. If Wired care to contact for comment there would have been some context added.

Apples and Oranges. One is just a fiat pegged shitcoin the other an independent monetary system.

Put that data in a separate drive then, all the rest should be encrypted by default.
Re:Ending Bitcoin Support on Tuesday January 23, 2018 @02:22PM (#16216607)
You seem very confused about what money is.
Re:Ending Bitcoin Support on Tuesday January 23, 2018 @02:20PM (#16216583)
I think they are being over cautious (other implementations are not as concern), but yes still in testing. There are over 100 nodes, doing a bunch of transactions no money lost.
