Spamnesty --- waste spammers' time by bot

Got a spam email? Just forward it to sp@mnesty.com!

"Spamnesty is a way to waste spammers' time. If you get a spam email, simply forward it to sp@mnesty.com, and Spamnesty will strip your email address, pretend it's a real person and reply to the email. Just remember to strip out any personal information from the body of the email, as it will be used so the reply looks more legitimate.

That way, the spammer will start talking to a bot, and hopefully waste some time there instead of spending it on a real victim. Meanwhile, Spamnesty will send you an email with a link to the conversation, so you can watch it unfold live!"

You can also read these email conversations archived on its homepage, e.g., https://spa.mnesty.com/conversations/aarsvksy/

Decentralized Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Why should I use decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges?
For Safety:
To reduce risks of fraud and hacking.
There are so many examples that a centralized cryptocurrency exchange service was hacked and user funds were lost, from the famous Mt. Gox hack, to the latest one of youbit hack, and other big ones listed here, here, and there.
For Freedom:
To avoid government control and ban of cryptocurrency exchanges.
For Privacy:
To avoid registrations and identity verifications.
As of today, most big centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Bittrex, Poloniex are forcing users to verify their identities. Therefore, you will not only lost your funds but also your privacy once these exchanges are hacked.
