Wake up babe, there's a new filing in Tornado Cash, and it's just about as embarrassing as the rest of the shitshow the DOJ has been assembling over the past two years 👇

This time, it persists that Storm profited from Tornado Cash smart contracts, arguing directly against arguments made by the Fifth Circuit, which found that "none of the immutable smart contracts entitle the smart-contract creators to a benefit."

Imagine a car manufacturer being held liable for profiting from illicit activity because a car they manufactured was used in a bank robbery, or a computer manufacturer because a machine they sold was used in a hack.

Tornado Cash should have stopped illicit activity, even though we concede that Tornado Cash couldn't stop illicit activity, or so the argument goes.

What about the Chainalysis sanctions oracle Tornado Cash implemented to block OFAC listed entities from accessing the service?

That's "window dressing," the Government says – an inefficient step that was only taken to "make a public announcement that TC wasn't violating the law." OK then.

The Government continues to appear to allege that the sole purpose of Tornado Cash was to enable criminal transactions, again making references to the prosecution of Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht – ignoring the fact that while Silk Road operated as a dark net market, Tornado Cash illicit transactions are only estimated to have made up around 14% of overall activity be the Government's own calculations, primarily pertaining to funds originating from hacks.

What's worse is that the Government doubles down on charging the developers for the development of a User Interface, continuing to attempt to enforce FATF recommendation 66 against FinCEN guidance and despite the lack of official adoption.

This case is a complete abomination of the US justice system. Everyone working on its prosecution should be fired.

I was brainstorming last night about how to find a way to solve the byzantine generals problem when exchanging green pieces of worthless paper (in the physical form) for units of corn 😉 in a peer to peer transaction.

Currently the only viable solution has been to use an escrow*, which doesn't satisfy the aforementioned problem because they are a single point of failure.

So it got me thinking about that retail behemoth we are all thinking of, which has a worldwide coverage of lockable security boxes.

Could there be a way of utilising this network of secure lockers to facilitate the exchange?

The answer would need a solution to the 'digital key exchange' in my example, one party would need to disclose their 'code' to the other first, creating the risk of foul play.

If anyone sees a potential in this and can expand on a cryptographically secure solution for key sharing without the need for an escrow service, please let me know.

If I'm just trying to reinvent the wheel and disrespecting Satoshi, I apologise and retract the idea.

*In hindsight the use of escrows is normally for digital pieces of worthless green paper and not physical, the latter usually in a face to face setting, which carries obvious risks. Further reinforcing my idea of a remote exchange scenario

If #bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, it is imposing the first global free market the world has ever seen.

Productivity gains flow to broadly to society in free markets through deflation.

Everyone gets richer every year and competition to provide value increases driving a cycle of unprecedented prosperity.

But, if you are pricing #Bitcoin in USD, you are still in the system of extraction and centralization which must centralize faster through the extraction of the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices.

The two systems are incompatible!!

And…It is a confusing topic because we have no reference for what a global free market looks like……so many people will get rug pulled (eventually) by not choosing self custody and running nodes. Instead trusting institutions and a paper derivative of their #bitcoin.

Why: because it will appear they are getting wealthy (in USD) Protecting the decentralization and security by running nodes and being constantly vigilant for new attack vectors will seem like a stretch! For most people pressing the easy button in an ETF or other centralized entity will seem like the right thing to do which ensures faster centralizing.

That centralized system of extraction MUST eventually attack Bitcoin or fail.

This may be a long time out. Ie - if I was on the other side of the fight - I would make my system as easy to integrate to bitcoin as possible and use the natural biases of humans against them. Ease of use, trust in institutions, time, etc so they didn’t “need” to worry about self custody and understanding how the protocol works.

Those on building on #Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Ecash and spending their time contributing on this open protocol and teaching others are on the front edge of the greatest change the world has ever seen. From extraction to cooperation.

Stay vigilant, stay focused, run a node, and tune out the madness of the system of extraction trying to drag you back into its centralized structure.

For the opportunity to exist, It had to be this way!

We are so early.

I've just driven for 2hrs to my destination and the standard of people's behaviour on the road, I'm sitting back thinking, you lot are so implanted into the Fiat mindset you can't even see it!

Trump rugging Bitcoiners who voted for him by shitcoin pump-n-dump (before even taking office) is perhaps the sweetest timeline.

Icing on the cake will be failure to free Ross.
