How many times has this happened to you?
You were just minding your business watching stepsister porn when along comes this hacker blackmailing you with videos of yourself masturbating to said videos! Gah! Not AGAIN! Damn it!
Hmmmm where have I seen this before.
Someone's been watching some Black Mirror!
You naughty troll 'hacker' you!
So of course you need to pay the oddly specific $1713 ransom in Bitcorns because what else are you gonna do? Let him send your jerk-off videos to everyone and their mothers? Hell no! You gotta pay up! You made $1713 yield farming CUB last week and the hacker obviously knows it because he's hacked all your devices! He's not asking for much, just pay the man! So you do.
But then what happens if the hacker decides to go all Black Mirror on your ass and posts the video anyway like the Naughty Nelly they are? What if they ask for more money? What do you do? How frustrating! There's nothing you can do!
UNTIL NOW!
Crypto fixes this!
Because now we have bonded liquidity pools specifically designed to build trust between victim and abuser! Using our patented technology, anyone can set up a ransom LP yield that will pay off the attacker indefinitely within a permanent real-time income stream, ensuring that they have no financial incentive to leak your no-no videos or otherwise pursue further attacks. If they violate the agreement, simply pull their funding! It's that simple!
Mutually assured destruction is the future of crypto!
Now, I know what you're thinking:
Well what happens if it's not blackmail? What happens if the ransom I need to pay is something more serious like a kidnapping?
Try not to fall in love with your captors.
RansomWork™ cannot fix Stockholm Syndrom, yet™.
Imagine your traditional legacy kidnapping scene:
Meeting in a dark alley with a million in dollars cash, hoping that both sides will not betray each other while the cash-prize honeypot sits unsecured out in the open? No one needs that! This is a recipe for disaster!
We got you covered, fam!
Kidnapping can get complicated, but we're here to guide you through it. With our patented technology, the victim of the kidnapping must activate the RansomWork™ LP software after they've been released by their captors. Once the RansomWork™ LP has been set up, all the money gets permanently locked in the smart-contract. No one can modify it, not even the network itself. Wow!
There is no backing out of the contract once it's been set up.
RansomWork™ will not pay yield out to the naughty nappers until it has been activated by the freed victim (or the victim's family) once they've been released. It is in this way that the kidnappers can rest easy knowing that the LP will be activated, or else the victim will be permanently marked for the rest of their short lives! The contract can only be released or killed, just like the victim themselves. The money can not be recovered by the victim. So just activate the thing on release: or you'll be sorry! A killed contract implies a killed victim, and vice versa. Code is law!
But wait, there's more!
Because at RansomWork™, our censorship resistant network hires only the best and most talented mercenaries and assassins who's sole purpose is to ruthlessly murder anyone who thinks they can hack the network. How cool is that!?! These smart-contracts are signed in blood, and either party attempting to violate the terms of the agreement absolutely will be hunted down and shot on site. Now that's a promise you can count on, boy howdy! Play nice out there. That's an order!
So stock up on RSW tokens today!
RansomWork™: We make Ransom, Work!
Okay I think I'm done writing this satire.
So yeah the email is obviously real... really cracked me up considering he "has bad news to share with me" and at the end he gives me great advice to change my passwords often so this doesn't happen to me again. What a considerate blackmailer this guy is, much appreciated.
Not to mention the oddly specific $1713 USD ransom, on top of telling me to Google Bitcoin if I don't know how it works. Then again I guess nothing beats the climatic ending where I'm told not to worry and I can trust this person. What a riot.
I wonder if this blog post about the scammer will make more money than the scammer himself... hm! https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qfup4q7hmhmk602mfyey4etwf5f5qcxpg768q5y No donations yet! Sad scammer is sad. Maybe I'll send him some pity sats the next time I get drunk. Good for a laugh knowing they'll be dusted and unmovable due to high fees.
Another weird thing that happened today was that my girlfriend directed me to this TikTokker that basically found a new crypto project that's trying to create a prediction market for the outcome of legally-binding court cases. Can you imagine? Having a secondary derivative betting pool on court cases that would likely affect the final outcome of some of them? lol wow!
Of course the question posed by the TikTokker is the obvious one:
Doesn't this sound like a bad idea?
Of course it's a bad idea!
But that doesn't mean you can stop them from building and implementing it! Yikes! All I could think of was: Wow, that's going to happen one day sooner or later. It's impossible to censor these things. Pandora's box has been opened.
What's in the box, man!
So as ridiculous as it sounds to make a token that would facilitate trust between a blackmailer and the victim... you know I bet it will exist one day. In fact, I bet way crazier shit will get invented that totally blindside society in ways that were never even considered possible. Who knows what can happen when Middle Schoolers can be millionaires.
LOL @ 2017
Imagine what happens when blockchain gaming takes over.
Conclusion
Crypto is all about removing intermediaries and providing trust between two parties that don't necessarily trust each other. What better niche than creating a permanently-bonded yield farm to shut up your blackmailer until the end of time? Got a pesky female employee that's been sexually harassed one to many times? No problem: pay her off with RansomWork™.
RansomWork™: that'll shut her up.
Kek
I'm the worst.
BRB gonna hang myself.
Ah nm I'll probably just end up watching more porn.
Too soon?
damn It reminded me i sometimes get notification like update your android device here the update and I am like wtf who would fall for that but some dude do
btw when I read some of the messages up there they are dark and spooky some might do as they say
Yes the threats are quite ominous when taken seriously.
Pretty uncool that someone would mass email this to thousands of people.
agree I got a lot of spam emails about I winning some money or crypto airdrop and I add users to spam but new email popping up that a big problem I face so I just keep adding them to spam
This is not funny at all,we are in the world of technology one just need to be very carefully
Not funny at all eh?
I could see how it's more offensive than it is funny, so I'll just assume you're exaggerating for effect.
At the same time I'm being pretty serious.
We are building an open-source uncensorable world that is impossible to regulate.
It's not going to be all sunshine, rainbows, and lollipop gumdrop unicorns.
A lot of messed up stuff is going to happen over the next ten years.
That's one terribly thing. Humanity could create wonderful things but there would always be some count to make bad things with that.

watching more porn.
This Is the most important part of your post, give you the freedom.
Haha
Crypto keep on evolving , jeez! Now "RansomWork''
There are no end to what is to come.
Now I'm really glad that I have the bad habit of not visiting my email ever. Infact i never get mails because I don't really browse. I'd hate to be in that position and ransom work?(good idea) but No. That'll just keep these wolves on my case the more.
Me Dancing in a horrid fashion:
I'm really glad I don't check mails

People need to be careful and the way things are going we also need to be watchful especially in this era were technology is the other of the day
Man this stuff is golden! Give us more!
Me to hacker: "I have a speech prepared for my mom, and another for my boss - everyone else can suck it. Do your worst!"
yeah, considering the fact that all blockchain transactions are fully visible to the public, smart contracts are perfect for paying ransoms, bribes and any other kinds of shady activities 😂
And then the money gets transferred into Monero on a DEX.
Beep boop beep: it's gone.
Never heard of privacy chains, eh?
That's hard to believe.
It doesn't matter if the data is public if you can't match the address to a real world identity.
A privacy chain isn't even required.
To spend the money in the real world one must pass through the KYC where their real identity is matched. I don't see how privacy chains can help, unless you are determined to go all in the virtual space
Because when you move money on a privacy chain they can't track it.
Then the money appears somewhere else and they have no idea it was used in a crime.
This is why money is fungible.
Real money can't be traced.
Money that can be traced is not fungible, because that means that some money gets blacklisted and some money gets whitelisted, making every unit of the currency not worth the same value. Non-fungible money is not money. The fungibility of currency is a defining characteristic of money itself. Even the IRS, FBI, CIA, NSA, and Secret Service admit this fact openly.
Yeah? For how long?
What happens when a crypto city-state pops up that doesn't have KYC?
Your entire theory goes right out the window.
The future is going to be very weird.
I can't possibly know, but I imagine it will turn into something like Sin City as all blackmailers and other criminals move there to spend their illegally acquired crypto 😁
It's going to be weird, no doubt
Hope we get a coin to reward users of porn sites, that would really up the number of traffic drawn, hahaha...
So one's sex life is these hackers only threat?
Say that to a pornstar and see if he/she would care, lol...
😆 this was hilarious but is it crazy that all I could focus on was the font of the email, I like it, very pretty.
Also, it is a good thing I don't watch porn 😆 can't be caught.
There's no boundary to what smart contracts can do but still this is unethical.
ahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 this is the funniest thing I've read in quite a while ... the first half anyway.
Exact same thing happened to me a while back. The email you pasted above is almost word for word. Incredible.
Haha, that is pretty funny. I was actually just thinking about this concept of a liquidity pool paying a recurring cost, but in a totally different way. I was thinking more about employees in a business that you know is going to fail. Like something that is close to your heart but you know has little to no chance of making a profit. If you had the capital to pool, it would never really matter.

They keeps on getting ideas to beat people's knowledge everyday and that is why it is very Important that we are extra careful in what we do all day , especially when it comes to investment
Threw my router out the window after reading this post, thanks! I'm safe now, no?
I received this email pretty often too.
I had something pretty funny, in their message they typed :"I know your email password and this is "anything that can be a password"". But in fact the password they sent to me was not the good one. I used it like 3 years ago but I did change. So that wasn't really professional :')
