looks like the kickstarter is real and they claim to be at CES. 8 backers and less than $2k in 3 weeks is impressive. creator is president of Max Powers LLC which is and IT company that "love working overtime without weekends and holidays! "

its a router with a vpn, which you still pay a subscription for, and can connect to 'ethereum based websites' which 'are not available on the regular internet'.
at the $500k stretch goal you unlock "Sell your internet to others on the automated peer-to-peer marketplace"
at $800k "Sell your HDD space"

there are also rewards for Cyberpunk Coat and Hat and Mask

I don't know about America, but in Europe all major ISPs allow you to 'sell' your internet by setting up a public hotspot that other ISP users can connect to when out and about. As a reward you can either connect to other hotspots yourself, or get some other bonuses.

in america comcast residential routers have a hotspot that other comcast users can use with a certain tier of internet package or purchasing on demand per hour. as a reward you get to give money to one of the most hated companies in the US.

harper's has a piece on dark net assassins

quote:

In 2013, a developer using the alias Kuwabatake Sanjuro created what he called the Assassination Market. It was built largely according to Bell’s specifications, with a system in place for submitting predictions and donations. In an interview with Forbes, Sanjuro said that his ultimate intent was to destroy “all governments, everywhere.” Bounties of up to $75,000 were placed on the heads of President Obama; Ben Bernanke, the chair of the Federal Reserve; and Keith Alexander, the director of the National Security Agency. No one took the site very seriously, and it sat idle until 2018, when Sanjuro, apparently realizing that the bitcoin collected there had accrued over a million dollars in value, cashed out.

quote:

On each of Yura’s sites, users set up an anonymous account, select from a drop-down menu the kind of violence they would like inflicted, upload the photo and address of their intended target, and wait to hear back through the messaging system. Users often have questions for Yura: How do I know you’re for real? Can you make it look like an accident? When they are satisfied, the user transfers bitcoin into a special wallet on the site, where it will ostensibly be held until the job is completed. Instead, Yura takes the money immediately, and makes no attempt to complete the job. The user complains; Yura says he needs more money to hire a better hit man; the user either pays again or asks for a refund; and Yura either disappears or attempts to extort the user by threatening to turn information over to the authorities. Yura sometimes goes by Barbosa or Juan, but Monteiro believes they are all the same scammer, who likely lives in Romania.

I loaned a close friend a substantial sum of US dollars and cryptocurrency. I have in writing (text messages) his guarantee of full repayment (i.e., promising the loan was risk-free). The money was due last summer and I've been waiting ever since. Do I have any legal recourse here?
(self.legaladvice)
submitted 3 days ago by manwhoneedslegalhelp

Between October 2017 and April 2019, I periodically lent a close friend of mine cryptocurrency (BTC and ETH). He told me the funds were being used to make markets and provide liquidity in cryptocurrency exchanges overseas, and for about a year and a half he paid me handsome interest on my loans. I never pressed him for more information / proof about the use of the funds, but in hindsight my guess is he was actually using the funds to either gamble on sports or as leverage to speculate on cryptocurrency prices. We always discussed our transactions over text message, and I was always clear / explicit in the terms of the loans and our arrangements / expectations. Over this period, we established trust and a healthy business relationship. In addition, we've been friends since freshman year of college (I'm 26), I've met his family, we've got lots of mutual friends, etc., so him ghosting me wasn't really a concern.

In May 2019, I lent him $25k in US dollars, and approximately $20k worth of BTC and ETH. The US dollars were due in September 2019, and the BTC and ETH were due in June 2019. He claims (but has not provided evidence / proof) that his cryptocurrency is currently locked up in an exchange, and that for various / vague security reasons he's having trouble gaining access to his account on the exchange. Further, he claims he's having bank / wire issues, and that's why he's been unable to send along the US dollars. I've been patient with him because we're friends (or used to be friends, at least) and I'd prefer not to escalate the situation (get lawyers involved, reach out to his parents, etc.), but at this point I need to seriously contemplate alternative measures to recoup these funds.

For months, he's provided every excuse under the sun to justify delayed repayment (bank issues, travel, illness, etc.). At this point, I'd like to operate under the assumption that he won't repay me unless I seriously escalate the situation. What I've come to this subreddit to understand is any legal options I may have, whether I have a legal right to recoup these funds, etc. In terms of documentation, all I've got are text messages in which he promises complete repayment and characterizes the loans as risk-free. I'm happy to provide the actual language if helpful, or to provide any additional information if needed. Thank you in advance for the help!
