Looking at the McAfee Vault.

There is a message in binary. Pasting picture of translation.

iatkos.in/2021/08/vault-…

Vault PW: *4FNpjM*#si8qUHwiv5BbDuL

Every file under here is also password protected. Guess we have to wait for more burns..

But McAfee says this.. So I go trough this channel, his Twitter Channel.. But then, how have we been learning truth? - The Q boards!

This must be it. The Keys to the files are here. I'm 100% sure.

Not just a catch-phrase..

Getting more and more disturbing.

EXIF data on the picture shown in the Telegram points to this article.

Latest posts on the McAfee talks of the swarm and posts bzzr universal resource locator. So by checking it out i came to some SWARM software that is made for Storage and Communication..

Block Chain Tech platform of some sort..

I need more coffee.

ethersphere.github.io/swarm-home/#ge…

So by downloading it and running it, it asks me for password. I need to create account?

Ok, created my password for the account.. Now what?

Ok, let's read some guide on what this does..

Ok, account (only password needed to be entered) created. Software running, but there's no client connected.. hmm.

This is NODE or extremely similar. Anyway I need some kind of client to connect to it?

The only one I can find is for linux and macos. I don't use linux desktop.

docs.ethswarm.org/docs/installat…

LOL forget that!

Run the software (swarm.exe) and go to your brave browser and type:

HTTP://localhost:8500

So, after a few hours and a few cups of coffee.. I'm realizing this swarm client is probably obsolete. Tried to download "bee" and "bee-clef" on my linux server. It's a nightmare to understand. Will try to install "Geth" insted on my Windows dektop.
geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface…

Time has run out. No more fiddling with this now. I need to go to work. But if people have experience with bee and bee-clef, I'm all ears!

This is the way they share uncensored data, trough block-chain.

Until then!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

IM IN!

@threadreaderapp please unroll

I'm also finding posts from block-chain on this site labeled $Whackd

whackd.dev/search/?q=labe…

This is the "label" McAfee had tattooed on his arm.

My antivirus warns me of the site, so browse secure.

Looking at the top post here, it's the Comet Ping Pong picture we saw from "ethswarm" download.

Thinking this site is not legit. 3rd party operator? Seems to flimsy to me to be a McAfee site.

But who knows?

Final thought.. Effort has been put into this, so somebody has a meaning behind this. But so far, not really anything new under the sun. This could be a LARP or it could be legit.

Until we get any MATCH between the 8Kun posts/picture hash and ethswarm.. I say: HANDLE WITH CARE!

Since last update, I've been fiddling with this Bee / Swarm and Ethereum networks. I got it up and running, but in the process i see they are running 2 different networks. 1 is testnet and one is mainnet. Perhaps it's a chance that the ethswarm web service is running testnet...

If people want to get into this, you need to run a Ethereum network node, a Bee node and maybe a clef service. The software are available on all platforms, except the clef one. It seems like your nodes can make you some crypto by allowing access to the swarm. But must have ...

crypto in the wallet to be able to access file services on the main network.

For useful information, I found the discord channel very good for searching information on how to set it all up.

I will not put any crypto on this at this time.

Bee:

Nethermind Ethereum network node:

The Ethswarm Mainnet went online 9 days ago. I guess what I've been accessing is Testnet.

Swarm Mainnet Release — Adami v1.1.0 is live!
reddit.com/r/ethswarm/com…

That gives me the hope that we will get match on the hashcodes on Qboard images on the "Mainnet", since there is no match on "Testnet".

There are probably more than 1 hash on each image too.

The NSA supercomputer in the article is a HIVE of client decentralized over the world, sharing BZZ tokens over the SWARM using the BEE client.

This is codename "BUMBLEHIVE".

I just want to point out that all these Bzz's are on "TESTNET". Hive is LIVE with a "MAINNET". This mainnet is fueled by Bzz-token. Running a SWARM gateway will earn you tokens, but MAILING cost stamps in form of BZZ.

docs.ethswarm.org/docs/

I will later on fuel my own SWARM node and look at Q-post hash-codes. There MUST bee a connection here.

Well ^ you have the guide to setup your own SWARM and start digging.

Howto buy stamps:

Going to try to connect to xdai "mainnet".
Got my "Nethermind" - ethereum-client going. Been synching for an hour now, about 70% done.
Got my Bee Swarm node going, waiting for connection.

Hit a snag last night. The Bee has no direct html to json built into it, so the HTML part must be programmed to talk to the API. Found out there's a javascript they (bee community) use to talk to the API via HTML.

BUT pondering upon this..

We are DIGITAL SOLDIERS in an ARMY. What do we do?

We share INFORMATION. What better way is there to SHARE INFORMATION than running a local swarm in a large hive of BEES, with data that everybody can access.. This resonates with me.

In Chunks: Swarm offers a one-stop base layer for decentralized data
Swarm should be referred to as a self-sustainable scalable attack-resistant fault-tolerant P2P node system.

Interacting with each other, Swarm nodes provide the technical platform for seamless and decentralized storing of information of various types e.g. messages, media streams, databases, and so on.

I can confirm that the SWARM client on "gateway.ethswarm.org" is on mainnet (xdai) and its been live since end of july, according to operators on discord.

If you run a local swarm client, it only cost postage stamp when uploading, not downloading anything, and the idea is..

that when you contribute with a swarm client, it's going to fund itself by contributing to the global HIVE. I guess it will be profitable in the future.
