If you judge a project according to how a non-native English conducts himself in interviews, you’re ngmi.
You say you’re technical enough to have contributed to all 3 CoinJoin projects but bring people and personal attacks as your only arguments?
Please tell me more 😂
I don't say I am technical enough, I say i could be.
I also say, since you promote a project directly linked to surveillance companies, you're not the best person to call people spooks. And your arguments are ridiculous, or simply lies.
You can keep laughing and smiling, or being condescending, this doesn't make you right.
In Citadel Dispatch 25, Nopara refuses to answer questions, to the point Matt Odell is on the verge of losing patience and it's palpable. That says something about the insanity of this interview.
This has NOTHING to do with being a native speaker or not.
His English is probably better than mine, but he's not debating in good faith, and neither are you. So no, I'm not gonna tell you more, this is a waste of time. Precious resource for both of us.
I could also be starring in the Fast & Furious series alongside Vin Diesel and the Rock. But guess what, reality contradicts my pointless expectation. And it does the same with your dishonest “I could have” claim.
You don’t even understand how Bitcoin works and what blockchain analysis can and can’t do.
But you, for whatever reason, defend a spook and a company which owns a closed source blockchain analysis tool, collects the xpubs of newbie users, received financing from 3 letter agencies for the GoTenna project, and regularly creates Telegram chats where the users talk about their CoinJoin rounds.
Samourai has a very efficient surveillance system that flies under the radar only because their competition is busy writing better code and doing actual privacy research. Tell Keonne and Willy Hilly that Vlad says hi.
Since you pretend I don't understand Bitcoin nor chain analysis, without knowing anything about me, just based on your blind adoration for Nopara & friends, let me be clear too, and let's end this unproductive exchange.
Look fanboy, IDK if M. Saylor is a spook and i couldn't care less. Maybe he is. Cool. Haven't listened to your video on that, last time I watched you was a Wasabi promotional clown show with Peter Todd and I stopped there. Permanently.
I don't disagree, Samourai guys may very well be spooks.
I just say I don't care, because I understand their software & protocol enough. Including the nuances, tradeoffs, and the BS arguments from Wasabi team that you will surely repeat on loop, and I already heard 1000 times somewhere else.
But I'm not saying they're not spooks. I don't know that.
And I don't defend them, nor Saylor.
See? We don't disagree on everything!
What I say is that your replies are disingenuous and full of shit + condescendance, almost every line. The fact that Wasabi pays you generously has nothing to do with it, of course. You're just a fanboy who happens to be sponsored...
No comment...
It's fine, keep doing your thing, but don't be surprised when others call you out on this wasabi insanity. You may or may not be right about Samourai. But supporting chain surveillance is nuts. And a spook accusation coming from your corner, no matter who's your target, is laughable.
Citadel Dispatch, episode 15.
Everyone should go listen to that.
How did they fix the problem since then? Many improvements to their wallet (some good ones!), and... Partnership with chain surveillance. Yay!! 🤦♂️
"Privacy wallet"... Seriously... This is pathetic. 🤡
Other coinjoin protocols are sound, and don't need that type of partnership to operate. Are you saying JoinMarket is operated by NSA or something?
They also don't need crazy sponsoring budget to get people to use it and forget how clownish they've been all along. They pay nothing, they make no advertisement, yet people use their software. Maybe there's an actual reason, beyond the fantasies you tell yourself.
Keep writing if you like, I'm done. If, in a distant future, you wish to discuss all this in good faith, and not as a fanboy/employee of a surveillance firm contractor, I'll be happy to.
GN.
