So after my initial gut reaction of holy shit, fuck the government. The whole samurai thing brings to mind a good point.

Unless you are self-hosting Dojo You were still pretty much reliant on samurai servers still being up.

If this isn't a good argument for why you should be hosting as many things for yourself as possible, I really don't know what else is.

Also, while I'm at it, as much as I liked what Samurai was trying to do for privacy, you could have avoided the need to use Whirlpool or anything of the like if you just avoided KYC to begin with. If anything else, this is an even greater argument to avoid KYC so you don't really have to break some sort of identity link between yourself and your coins as shit starts to hit the fan.
