The cull we're seeing in the past couple weeks is just the beginning, but it's a good sign: They're pushing back because we're gaining ground.

If you want to run a privacy business, i see 3 choices:

- Decentralize your business (no single PoF)

- Mask yourself (build pseudonymously)

- Comply (by KYCing)

So the US is placing itself behind the 8 ball in regards to bitcoin in an attempt to corral and coerce its citizens. Fun times

It's like that time when the copyright lobby tried to shutdown individual FTP sites. *grabs popcorn*

which lighting network wallet is not with a single point of failure?

If you can, i would suggest running your own lightning node. Then you can use a remote access wallet like Zeus to interact with it.
