I cannot recommend Lenovo X1 Carbons enough. I use it at work. Runs Linux buttery smooth. (Tested Ubuntu and Arch, both work perfectly, Arch needs a few minor tweaks)

Possibly bitmessage.

ticoombs··on Criminals can guess Visa number and security code in six seconds, experts find
From my limited use of Bitcoin, the merchants only required the transaction to be broadcast They didn't care if it had 0 or 1 or 100 confirmations. They only cared that it was broadcast. Which makes sense. Considering they all apparently only did 4 Bitcoin transactions a month if not less. (2 cafes and a pub)

This is completely different to how online stores have processed my Bitcoin. Usually waiting for 1-2 confirmations before shipping (Trezor is my example here)

You are ill informed. Tor is as safe as it ever was. Just be smart even using it. Please visit /r/tor and learn about it yourself. Instead of spreading disconsent through your vague wording and accepting media outlets at face value
