Your account will be unique to one machine, if you wish to 'roam'
you'll need to create an account per machine you roam with. A n3td3v
account will be a viotile throw-away account, only used to save
messages upto 30days and to setup personal preferences. In today's
world its all too easy to break into website accounts. With our
security, you setup an account perhost. Thats why it will be important
to choose the machine you'll access your account with wisely.
Attackers won't be able to spoof your machine address, as it will be
encrypted on our servers, and you will only get access when you
handshake the key on our server, with your host. Right now, I have two
accounts setup, one for home and one for public terminals, this makes
sure the intelligence services can't data mine information from me.
What is done at home isn't the same as whats done on public computers,
and thats why I always have account's on the internet per machine. Its
what i've been doing for years, its second nature for me, and thats
why i'm incorporating it into the website design. If you don't agree
with this, then you aren't a real hacker, because real hackers already
have accounts setup per machine, so having my website setup like this
is nothing new for a hacker, it just makes sure you don't make a
mistake and login from a different machine to your account by mistake,
and also keeps the account secure from anti-n3td3v hackers.
