Miners that actually mine are controlled by a couple of companies, so there is that. Since this was embraced by the site devs must also comply with state bullshit or they'll be samuraideved. Black markets? OK, you could include your transactions in a non KYC miner in Belarus, but you won't be transacting #BTC, as that now belongs to the old US of A, you would be transacting in a forked network. Now, will all the black market miners accept the same rules? They will be sovereign countries, with diverging geostrategic incentives, so I guess there would be a fork for each one of those countries/alliances. If those forks don't implement privacy at the network level, soon you will be deemed a criminal and/or traitor by your country of residence. And so on and so forth. What does Claude say about that?
