Nothing has changed on this in the last days. I don't understand how are you suddenly against Bitcoin just now?

This has pretty much been a fact from the start. There is/was almost nothing stoping anyone from putting data on a blockchain. Only two reasons why this hasn't been done before:
1) takes a bit of effort and people are lazy
2) the person can obvs get in trouble with the law for this if you did something like that

With a lot of blockchains, for example Ethereum, posting any kind of data is super easy to do. A screenshot from MyEtherWallet. If you make a transaction, you have the option to add data along with the transaction and nobody will check what that data entails. This really isn't something that one has to even figure out.

Thing about this there's exchanges. If one of the cp holders moves btc to an exchange, and the exchange doesn't cooperate (no legal reason to for example) in disclosing the holders information, it's a dead trail, no point tracking it further since you'll just track to a bunch of people unrelated to cp, and just withdrew btc from the exchange.

For example:
1)Turn whatever file you want into a .txt file.
2)Make transactions with MEW and add that string you have in your .txt file in with your transaction.

You have to segment the file into multiple parts though because a transaction has a size limit usually and also you have to pay more in transaction fees the more data you add. Congratulations, whatever data you put there, is now on the ETH blockchain forever and nobody can change that. On a block explorer anyone can see that data you have put there and they can convert the .txt format back into whatever the file originally was.

There are blockchains that have pretty much 100% successful privacy functions to make the addresses untraceable.

Some facts to swallow that the blockchain tech has made technologically possible:

>You can avoid taxes because of the anonymity
>You can fund any project whether it's child porn or terrorism or whatsoever
>You can upload child porn anonymously and it will stay online forever
>The government or anybody else can't do anything to stop it.

It's not really embedded text/images.

A program is used to take data and base58 encode it into a long hash string, then it's split up into many 34 character addresses. Then a small amount of bitcoin is sent to each of those addresses in a single transaction.

That's it, it's pretty much just a normal transaction to a lot of addresses.

The only way to view the data is to use a program. You need to find the correct transaction, use the program to piece together the right addresses in the transaction and decode the base58 in order to create any meaningful data.

It's pretty much just a hacky way to add data to the blockchain. But it's not really viewable or relevant to anyone that doesn't use the program.

As the commenter above you brought out, if you download any data from the internet that you haven't thoroughly checked, you could have CP on your computer.
Your browser often caches images that you look at online. That means it downloads them temporarily onto your computer. One of such images can easily contain hidden CP.

Ok so you stated that the technology will either never be used for anything or that it will be completed changed. Its great that we can all agree on what your stance is right now rather than having to argue about it for a long time.

So, care to explain to all of us why you think blockchain technology will either never be used for anything or that it will be completely changed and controlled?

I will LOVE to read your thesis on how the technology will never be used for anything. Do you have evidence to support this claim?

This contains no data, but they cite this paper:

https://fc18.ifca.ai/preproceedings/6.pdf

>Illegal and Condemned Content.
> Bitcoin’s blockchain contains at least eight files with sexual content. While five files only show, describe, or link to mildly
pornographic content, we consider the remaining three instances objectionable for almost all jurisdictions: Two of them are backups of link lists to child pornography, containing 274 links to websites, 142 of which refer to Tor hidden services. The remaining instance is an image depicting mild nudity of a young woman. In an online forum this image is claimed to show child pornography, albeit this claim cannot be verified (due to ethical concerns we refrain from providing a citation). Notably, two of the explicit images were only detected by our suspicious transaction detector, i.e., they were not inserted via known services.
>While largely harmless, potentially objectionable blockchain content is infrequently inserted, e.g., links to alleged child pornography or privacy violations. We thus believe that future blockchain designs must proactively cope with objectionable content. Peers can, e.g., filter incoming transactions or revert content holding transactions [11,51], but this must be scalable and transparent.

This FUD is retarded. Take any file of random noise you recorded from a radio telescope (of a pulsar or something). XOR it with a file of CP and save output. Distribute tool with the XOR output to recover CP using the pulsar signal. Normies go "Reeeeeee CP is written in the stars! God is a pedo confirmed!"
