the Feds run nodes to spy on your transactions, a new indictment unsealed yesterday reveals:
Discussion
wow, they must be one of the only entities in the world with the resources to run a fully archival ethereum node.
GM, thank you for your work
We always knew Ethermium was centralised but that’s a whole new level. But hey, at least someone is running a node I guess?!
ChainAnalysis is well known for running Electrum servers that logs every query.
Run your own node with tor or something similar. It's not gonna make it impossible, but harder.
Who cares? Decentralized systems with public chains. Anyone can run a node, so why not the Feds? Just make sure you know how the system works and don't be stupid.
GM!
Also, fuck the Feds
Sneaky shits
GM, it likely goes beyond just running nodes

Don’t broadcast your transactions via your own node. Use
mempool.space/pushtx
coldcard.com/pushtx
pushtx.org/pushtx
blockstream.info/tx/push
over VPN or Tor for broadcasting.
Samourai Wallets Dojo or RoninDojo fixes this. Every connection is through Tor.
Don't use clear net services like the mentioned above!
Does the fact Trezor has an enable Tor feature mitigate this?
Is there a sci-hub-like service for court documents?
Maybe https://www.courtlistener.com is close.
Perhaps an interesting civil forfeiture case: https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10277513/united-states-v-fifty-three-virtual-currency-accounts/
