The concern I have is not for plebs. We typically run our own nodes on our own hardware and over TOR. I'm referring to services that run in Cloud providers that can get letters from 3 letter agencies. Ala Snowden...

AWS services run on hardware they control. They run hypervisors that we run our software on. I'm not sure how difficult it is for them to surveil but I imagine it is very possible and we would not know.

BIP 151 is a good start but I imagine a lot of the issues would have to be resolved on the hypervisor level

Seems unlikely. Maybe portions of AWS but the core of AWS is the servers running all this software.

You could propagate data using Nostr though.

That only protects traffic. I'm referring to protecting the actual machine running in the hypervisor. Also, many high perf nodes (ala the big boys) do not run over TOR. TOR is slow.

Ok, so who is concerned about AWS and other cloud providers surveilling your nodes in the cloud?

Testing out Alby, anyone care to give me a zap to confirm it is working?

I have learned to not have heroes but what #[0] is doing with Block (Cashapp) is truly admirable. Hats of to him for going all in with Bitcoin. Listening to him speak about why Bitcoin is important is inspirational. Refreshing

Growing a garden is one the most seditious acts we can do.

Using Bitcoin is one of the most seditious things you can do to a regime that controls its subject with fiat currency.

Yep. The more you understand Bitcoin the more your time pref changes. Bitcoin teaches and changes you for sure.
