Sorry to hear that.

I was devastated when I got booted from Quora for not reason and my countless weeks worth of effort was deleted/stolen. So to when I was banned from Wikipedia for a year for being "another polite truther". When one door slams in your face other doors open, and I discovered Infogalactic.

What cryptos do you prefer?

In 2016 I thought I'd resurrect my old website onto ZeroNet but I was/am broke so I asked for some Namecoin and someone kindly donated it to me. I still have it and feel like a heel for not registering it. I'd still like to but it's not a priority anymore. I'd rather see SaidIt or my new projects go there first. That interest was in part sparked by James Corbett seeking alt-solutions.

I have some bitcoin James Corbett gave me. Usually I binge watch and catch up my fave channels. I happened to catch him fresh where he was giving away $10 worth to anyone who asked within three days. I still have it and promised to tell him where I'd use it if I didn't just "donate" it back to him. Maybe SaidIt collects it?

I had been using Bitcoin in 2012-2013 on the Silk Road for ketamine - a proven but not profitable anti-depressant. They had treatment clinics in the US, UK, and Australia but not Canada until very recently though still ludicrously expensive and not covered. I had $36CAD worth of BitCoin on Silk Road when the US government stole it. They fucking owe me with interest.

Recently I've learned of Filecoin for use with IPFS and the other Protocol Labs projects. Exciting. Like Namecoin but more.

Iota is another new one with promise.

Monero is another one, open source and very private - so it's embrace by the Purism ethical privacy tech guys.

I prefer QRL at the moment, since it is one of the few cryptocurrencies which will not have its private keys cracked when quantum computers get a bit more powerful and because it has a nice community I like contributing to.

It will be pretty hard to make almost any of the other existing cryptocurrencies quantum resistant, since it will require a fork that either:

• Leaves lots of addresses vulnerable to cracking. This means that, when quantum computers get powerful enough, the market may be flooded with stolen cryptocurrency lowering the value of it.

• Has a limit of time in which people can convert to the new signatures thereby making many people lose their crypto.

Two other resistant cryptocurrencies include IOTA and Mochimo. I don't generally use IOTA due to the centralisation problems, though.
