But it’s the land of the free, right?
wow 🤯 I need you now!!!!! nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
If you didn’t have a single penny, I’d still like you/ love you, infact I think maybe I’d like you a little more.. that sounds horrible right? You’re very judgemental to me when I show any form of love including when you asked me if I’d take a poison for you. Nothing is good enough for you so I’m sure me saying I’d like you if you had nothing would not suffice your ego and now you’ll say “why would you say that, Princess”
It’s a good thing you are single, if you got a gf tomorrow, I’d completely leave you too. What i did 4 years ago when I showered a little interest but then we both moved on very quickly me with W and you with rav I think or ugly one, one of those nostr:npub1p7fw7hcnf2sff3gvjjxdxc8utfr4fg3qvh5jedgffe6ggjczdh8ss7vf3w or idk what happened
Wild. This incentivizes someone to do it right. Why were their serves centralized ?
This is another tornado cash.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IT RIGHT.
PRIVACY IS NOT A CRIME.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m Can you solve this ?
Wow.
Not a fan of Samourai but yes, this is fucked up.
Join Market
What is join market
It's awesome. A marketplace of decentralized collaborative transactions. Here's the only interface I know of, I'm not very technical: https://jamdocs.org/
More info: https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/tree/master/docs
Thanks I'll check it out
Privacy is a right. Don't let them tell you otherwise. A desparate State will continue to crack down on those who don't fall in line.
This is insane
OMFG!!!
Criminals don't like competition.

Not in the cartel? Prison for you
Shit! 😳
We are in the fight you part it would seem
This is less about the wallet and more about the mixing they were doing.
So they were mixing and actively advocating for criminal use?
Color me not surprised.
It’s good to see a bad service shut down.
What is criminal in one state can be legal in another.
The Internet is Intended to be a place without nations or states.
Oh right. They only made an app, they didnt run a mixing service with illicit intent or anything.
What a hot take.
Do you remember the Panama papers? Are you aware of how the truly rich launder their money? It's all through the banks and the banks at the very most are given a slap on the wrist, no arrests of managenent, no prison sentences. The real reason the govt are after Samaurai is because it's bitcoin which is not under their control. Privacy isn't illegal though you are probably the sort to say "I have nothing to hide" and welcome any & all government surveillance they impose on us.

Let me know if you think Lyn's remarks on financial privacy vs money laundering are a hot take

How is a non custodial wallet a money transmitting business? It does not control the network? The protocols. WTF.
It's about Whirlpool, their coinjoing feature
not surprised. governments gonna govern
we just gotta keep on fighting
Fully decentralized services can't be stop easy like this, if there is just one point where service could be shut down then it is centralized and deserve to be shutdown or hacked same like Bridges, CBDCs or whatever other scams. Design it truly fully decentralized or expect same.
