The estimate for test is by the end of January at the latest, with a launch a week after testing.

New Merchants

  • Crypcy

Our goal is to empower crypto-enthusiasts around the world to use cryptocurrency as it was intended – buy products in a p2p manner. We don’t use crypto-to-fiat gateways therefore what crypto you use, we use.

  • Cypher Merchant

Cypher Merchant is run by crypto enthusiasts who enjoy supporting projects and artists in the space. The profits from each shirt are distributed to everyone involved.

 

The majority of our items are made in house and are not produced through multiple 3rd parties like most print on demand and drop shipping sites. This gives us the ability to create higher quality items than most, keep as much of the currency IN THE CRYPTO SPACE, and makes it so we can share with everyone.

  • Blockchain Stuff

Promoting the crypto lifestyle is our #1 goal. Crypto is still very much a niche, in order for bitcoin and many altcoins to grow, people need to get aware that they exist. We raise awareness for the movement one piece of merch at the time.

Words from Crypto Rich:

Without privacy, there can be no freedom.

Without privacy, there is no self-governance.
Without privacy, there is no creativity.
Without privacy, there is no security.
Without privacy, there is no freedom to associate freely.
Without privacy, there is no real political discourse.

Without privacy there can be no freedom.

This is why Pirate Chain.

I have been running my channel since April 2017. Prior to that I worked as a child protection social worker. Often I had to remove children from their families due to the abuse they were being subjected to. I was very aware of the powers that I had that impinged on familial and parental privacy. My children are educated at home without government interference, as is my right to do so in the UK as a parent.

This is why privacy matters.
This is why Pirate Chain.

I have been covering Pirate Chain a few months after the code was released.

I love that it is 51% attack resistant, that all transactions (post genesis) are shielded, the community ethos of the project and its association with Komodo.

 

Last words from the editor

(##already claimed by @Diablo## the first person that does the following will win a prize (1) tweet out a link to this monthly update with this hashtag #privacyfirst, and (2) post a link to the tweet on #pirate-chat with @wookie)

As members of the cryptocurrency community and proponents of privacy, we are living in exciting times. We have courtside seats to watch the world at the inflexion point of technology, society and humanity. In the past decade, we have seen the exploitation of personal data & financial privacy by the juggernauts of the surveillance economy. Today, privacy is on the tongues of people who have heard about the failures of credit agencies in the US, and the human rights atrocities committed by the likes of Google, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. However, taking measures to protect their privacy is still mostly seen as an inconvenience. 

Since Pirate Chain's first block was minted, it has accomplished tremendous feats with the help of the Pirate community. It is with great pride that we look back on the past 16 months, and with great excitement that we look forward to what’s to come. In the 2020s, we will witness the rise of a new Economy of Privacy, driven by Privacy-focused blockchain projects. Pirate Chain, as the most anonymous cryptocurrency, with a fervent community of privacy-enthusiasts will play a special role in this new decade.
