You Guys Heard of DarkLeaks? Thoughts?

From what I can gather DarkLeaks is open source software that is built on the back of the Bitcoin network or Blockchain. The idea behind DarkLeaks is that it will allow sellers to trade information with buyers anonymously.

Quote:
An all new anonymous online underground black market website, DarkLeaks, has been introduced on the Internet where Whistleblowers, blackmailers, hackers and any individual can trade/sell sensitive and valuable data/secrets anonymously in exchange for Bitcoin payments.
Sellers could trade the following types of information:
  1. Trade secrets
  2. Government secrets
  3. Proprietary source code
  4. Industrial designs like medicine or defence
  5. Zero day exploits
  6. Stolen databases
  7. Proof of tax evasion
  8. Military intelligence
  9. Celebrity sex pictures

The files on sale are encrypted by DarkLeaks black market website, broken into smaller pieces, and then added to Bitcoin's block chain. However, the service allows the buyer to verify small preview piece of the file before payment is claimed.

After buyer purchase the rest of the file when satisfied with the contents, the seller claims their Bitcoins. A decryption key is provided to the buyer in order to unlocks the encrypted document for the buyer.

So not only is this project not actually part of bitcoin, but it is an outright attack on bitcoin. "The blockchain" is not some separate thing; it *is* bitcoin, and bitcoin is money. It's not a decentralized file storage. "Storing files on the blockchain" is code for "spam it with useless bloat." This would be concerning if not for the fact that it will certainly fail; the system screams "abuse me." It's scammer heaven.

Hmm, I have to disagree. The blockchain is separate from Bitcoin although it is true that Bitcoin couldn't function without the Blockchain.
In my opinion the Blockchain is the #1 technology although bitcoin has the potential to change the way we use money.

Honestly, I have no idea how much you can add to the blockchain and whether these files would be considered useless bloat.
I can however see value in allowing people to share information anonymously.

The blockchain can grow by one megabyte every ten minutes; that is the absolute maximum. This doesn't make for very useful cloud storage; there are much more cost-effective alternatives to "anonymous file hosting."

As to your claim that bitcoin couldn't function without the blockchain, you have it exactly backwards. The blockchain is made secure by the miners, and the miners work for money; if they can't pay for the electricity that crunches the numbers, they will power down. Without the unit of currency, it would be impossible to compensate the miners for their work. Of course, without the blockchain, there would be no currency. Which brings me back to my original point: bitcoin and the blockchain are one-in-the-same.

The whole "blockchain technologies" line is pushed by opponents of bitcoin in an attempt to slander and kill it. They formerly claimed that the whole concept was stupid. Having failed that approach, they have moved on to denying the monetary aspect of bitcoin. The message in both attacks is the same: don't invest money!
