WikiProjects

I'm in the process of founding Wiki Project Pirate Politics and I'm a member of Pirate Party UK.

I also contribute to RationalWiki a bit and help with the new Hpluspedia covering transhumanism and related concepts.

Various pages I've built have turned into ongoing projects to maintain, providing summaries of topic you can't get elsewhere on the internet.

This is my blog

Ongoing Projects

• Darknet and Dark web - inventorying this emergent territory which is currently underserved by Wikipedia - I wrote a guest article about this! ( I even wrote Skunked term off the back of this! )
• Darknet market - tracking the history and status of the dynamic underground markets that comprise it
• Carding (fraud) - not to be confused with the primary topic of Carding <_< - I wrote a guest article about this!
• List of Tor hidden services - I have populated about half of these

Things I still keep an eye on

• FairSearch - Lobbying group
• Digital Citizens Alliance - Lobbying group
• Political party membership in the United Kingdom - first ever comparison of political party membership restrictions in the UK
• Cyber-arms industry - the wider market for software exploits
• Transhumanist politics‎ - I track events here
• Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit - Tracking the ongoing operations of the City of London Police, BPI etc. Doesn't exist anywhere else as far as I'm aware

Completed Projects

The following supported the development of https://www.blocked.org.uk/ from the Open Rights Group

• Web blocking in the United Kingdom - the only comprehensive list of UK programmes in existence. Referenced by blocked.org.uk from the Open Rights Group
• List of websites blocked in the United Kingdom - Related topic providing the most detail you'll find about blocked sites anywhere on the internet. It's not GreatFire.org, but it's still pretty good

Completed Pages

These are things I built or did major work on that are in a good state and I don't care about personally maintaining any more.

• Freedom Hosting
• Deep Web (search)
• Block chain (database)
• Cryptocurrency tumbler
• Doxbin‎
• Operation Onymous - seriously, there was no decent central list of sites affected until then
• Bitcoin Fog‎
• BadBIOS
• Notorious markets
• Zero-day (computing) - this used to be a mess!
• Comparison of content-control software and providers
