removing the app from US app stores will not satisfy regulators - they will expect kyc on all users globally to make sure americans are not using it

yes, that is fucked up but that is how large custodians have been treated in the past

removing the app from US app stores abruptly with delayed comms indicates a level of panic from their team that is a concern - the only responsible path forward requires deliberate action from the wallet of satoshi team to encourage users to withdraw funds ASAP - otherwise the next course of action is likely a panicked shotgun kyc of all users without notice

Do you anticipate similar from Alby and the like as well?

yes, any custodians that gain significant marketshare will have targets on their backs

time to figure out zaps on my CLN StartOS node...

Nice! Bookmarking for later. Have a Start9 so might have to get a clearnet BTCPay that connects over TOR to the node. πŸ€”

I assume this is "clean up" but the banks before BR ETF lands. Gotta herd the sheep toward the "correct" answer.

What noncustodial wallets can be connected to nostr without running my own node? I would like to run my own node but aren't set up for it yet.

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is going self custodial soon 🫑 nostr:note14wqhq6rj2syehvudsjum0x6daf0unmyjfyh4swm3t6vq77p7qm6qqmnsce

Good

So at the moment nostr + lightningneed to use custody to work ?

*ps: lightning is a fail bitcoin project*

Nope. You can do it in a sovereign manner. Just takes work.

Lightning is working well enough. Got other ideas?

We the people

There are other paths forward other than KYC'ing the world and we're building them right now.

But they are not a US company & are located out of Australia right?

So things might get weird right?

us regulators are not known to respect borders

The US is not known to respect borders

Fixed it for ya πŸ˜‰

He must be in all lowcaps mode due to the recent events

They've never had real resistance though either.

Get to a non-extradition zone, defy them, and show them how little power they actually have.

Laws are just chicken scratch unless you can enforce them.

They can enforce them. They will get whichever country they are based to enforce on their behalf. Nothing new there.

Correct. Any hostile government won't.

Australia is known to respect "laws".

If they really wanted to stick it them, they'd allow for its integration with cold storage wallets... Stop holding customers funds and allow the plebs to self custody

It sure seems like this and the other crack down on exchanges is all part of the big picture.

First they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then they assimilate you. We are likely in the phase of assimilation. With the open block chain plus kyc/aml (compliant exchanges and on/off ramps) they would have the control they want. Even though in reality only a small percentage of BTC transactions are nefarious. That's a narrative that is ingrained in politicians minds (along with most mainstream). They will easily pass laws that prohibit non kyc Bitcoin.

GE

The need to open source it *last week*. Go scorched earth like the guy who ran Snowden's email service.

Can’t you still use WoS pseudonymously? How can I be shotgun KYC’d

Can't withdraw until you prove your identity with license.

πŸ€” self sovereignty or bust it seems…

I've heard they log your IP address. As long as you haven't "backed up" your wallet it should still be relatively anon if you're using a vpn

Why should we non-US peeps care about what the US govt wants?

who in their right mind would hold more than 100k sats on there? I have like $10 worth of btc on there I don’t give a shit what happens to those funds.

I’ll have it then

if Bitcoin is commodity, do Americans have to KYC to sell hogs?

But I thought ya'll were gonna live in a black market utopia when SHTF nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx? These kind of capitulations are only the beginning. The majority own less than 1 BTC. They'll all be forced into the bolshevik banking cartel's approved custodians. It's okay. You'll feel vindicated while meme-ing from your beach house in El Salvador.

How very unpleasant.

The truth is often unpleasant. How can we solve for these inevitable threat vectors?

This is spot on. Nobody on earth can offer payments via internet without getting entangled in US executive dictates.
