The Devil's contract: Use anonymous information to trade with Bitcoin

by people who don't care.

Have you ever thought that the secrets you have published are sometimes of market value?

Anonymous apps have a bunch of junk information and negative energy, but there are also a handful of truthful information about the material, which is put together with the negative energy of the garbage, and is viewed indiscriminately by people who are not concerned, and those who are interested in and who are really affected by these secrets cannot find a suitable platform to get the information.

Now try to zoom in on some of the childish "secrets" raised to a more serious "secret".

Slur a bit like such a service "confidential information" platform. More precisely, it is a completely free trading market: You can anonymously sell any confidential information you want to trade (whether or not it interferes with any organization or institution in the world), the sellers get the right to trade by auction, and then they pay with Bitcoin.

The whole process is like this:

1. The seller encrypts the sale information, uploads it to slur, lists the list, and gives a description of the content of the information. All sellers are anonymous and have no content restrictions on the sale of information.

2, for their own use or to prevent the disclosure of information to other people's purposes, interested buyers use Bitcoin to participate in the auction, winning bidders will receive a separate key to open the sale of information, auction unsuccessful buyers are the full recovery for auction of Bitcoin. The same information shall not be traded on the slur two times.

3, a number of buyers can raise funds, as a common buyer to participate in the auction, win the auction, all the buyers involved in raising funds will receive the key, the sale of information into public.

4, the buyer after receiving the key, you can first evaluate the seller sold information and description is consistent, if consistent, and then the existence of third-party slur platform of the bitcoin payment to the buyer. If it does not match, you can apply for a refund.

5. The arbitration will be completed by 5 randomly selected users, each of whom will receive a key to open the information and evaluate whether it matches the description.

Slur is an open source distributed application that combines bitcoin with secret information, and the bit-core block-chain technology just guarantees that transactions are not affected by third parties, and that the central feature does not generate additional costs for transactions. Slur's official website said that the trust work of the Fund will be implemented automatically by the network during the whole transaction.

Slur said that this model will have a very far-reaching impact on the entire society of mankind, mainly in the following points:

1, the price is not regulated completely free market. There is no third party to intervene in the slur market, because the transaction content is bitcoin and anonymous information, people's net worth of assets will change significantly. In addition to material wealth, a person's secret information is also an asset, this asset is not virtual, can be converted into real material wealth through Bitcoin.

2. In fact, slur described himself as an upgraded WikiLeaks 2.0--more people may not have had the courage to disclose confidential documents to the outside world than Edward Snowden, but if it was an anonymous equivalent transaction, Slur believes more and more people will be willing to stand up and share confidential documents. By then any form of organization, the state, the military, enterprises, companies, etc. will be caught in a dilemma, on the one hand is a lot of valuable information liquid assets, on the one hand is a pile of confidential documents need to be protected at all times.

The types of anonymous information slur want to share include:

1, trade secrets;

2, the design of various products;

3, proprietary operating system source code and high-end CAD software source code;

4, 0 loophole.

5, the industry consumer hardware and software confidential backdoor details;

6. Disclose the database. When a company encounters a leak in a database, it cannot simply use apologies to muddle through. They have to pay the price for the leak and spend money on the database.

7, the internal staff disclosed evidence of corporate tax evasion. Companies or companies will pay a more expensive price for tax evasion.

8, real-time conflict-related military intelligence.

9. Design of aerospace and Defense Bureau.

10. Relevant evidence relating to the outcome of the trial.

11, the true celebrity circle inside.

12. A full database of social networking sites like Facebook.

13, the evidence of government corruption, even the election insider.

After reading this list, I wonder if you have the same kind of jumpy feeling as I do. Slur surface seems to want to do a completely free information exchange market, the market with the use of block chain to the central decentralized distributed design can not be controlled by any organization, once the beginning, also lost the control of all people, including slur himself. But I began to wonder what slur wanted to do because, in the list of types of information that slur wanted to appear on the trading market, there was a mix of strange things like stealing databases, military intelligence, and national security designs. These things make people think that slur is more like trying to create an information black market, a bit-currency application that serves criminals.

Freedom and runaway seem to be a synonym in slur's eyes. The name of the project is also controversial: slur, stain. Slur is still a fledgling project, and their progress on the GitHub is still relatively slow. In fact, slur face many problems to solve, including how to ensure the illegality of two transactions, how to design arbitration mechanism and so on. Another big question is how to keep the anonymity of buyers and sellers--Bitcoin is not really perfect for anonymity. I personally feel that the chances of slur ideal free market success are slim, but once successful, the consequences and effects will be far beyond what people think.
