Nov 27, 2014 at 14:57 comment added bowlturner I think you give any government too much credit. Tracking 10 billion people with trillions of nanobots. People are going to get blocked and go in and out of 'service' all the time. Running the microwave messes up my wireless signal so it won't be as 'obvious' unless for some reason they are already under suspicion. People die etc...
Nov 27, 2014 at 14:49 comment added Taemyr I think this answer ignors the assumption that the goverment has more resources than the resistance. Setting up an area that blocks the signals of the bots would raise flags, and help pinpoint the resistance. Curing members with a kill switch in the nanobot would permanently mark the person as suspect. The nanobots would need to be subverted, and the subversion to happen without indications given to the goverment.
Nov 27, 2014 at 13:35 comment added bowlturner How about creating your own nanobots that 'search and destroy' Part of the problem with nanobots is how intelligent they can actually be and still be small enough. Most nano tech will have bots that can do just a couple things, it's the numbers that make a difference like ant or bee colonies.

Nov 27, 2014 at 11:05 comment added White_Raven This is a good solution, but I can see several problems with it: with nanobots this sophisticated it would be easy to build some anti-hacking mechanism. While with time it would almost certainly be breached many volunteers lives would be lost. We also can consider that government won't stay idle and prepare updates as soon as a security breach is identified.
Nov 26, 2014 at 16:19 comment added bowlturner @Physicist137 True, but they need to be able to recognize it, and most nanobots are not going to be making the decisions, so if you have their wi-fi blocked you might be good to go. Also not everyone is infected so they would have the best chance
Nov 26, 2014 at 15:47 comment added Physicist137 Well.., since this nanobots can see what you see, they might realize you are seeing/messing with their code, and stop you. But is a good idea.
