    @gunnm @monero Yet another attack on open source software developers and a wake up call for everyone, especially bitcoiners. If they will fail to save these guys, Bitcoin will be officially over.

      Any software development that threatens the power and control of the current dominant mafia should happen totally anonymously.

      We need a decentralized github style platform with access from Tor and I2P. There is https://retroshare.cc/ which allows anonymous group communication, chat, mail, forums, file sharing.
