I'm open to them being dishonest. But I think they're stupid and lazy, and the only way they faked that transcript was by hiring a creative writer type. And it would be amazing if they kept quiet all this time.
If all he did was run a drug website like I initially believed, then I think he should be free already. It's the murdering 5 people thing I take issue with.
Same reason Roe v Wade got struck down. They got him on different charges (and gave him life! For a reason) as the easiest path, not realizing how much of a mess it would make later.
How much more reading can I do? I fully believed he was some innocent hacker like Aaron Swartz until I actually started reading. I already read everything. He hired hitmen to kill 5 people. The Bitcoin community is retarded for martyring him. He is like the George Floyd of Bitcoin but 10x worse. Or what, it's a conspiracy? They just made all that up to frame him? Right, the drug guy running the illegal trafficking website would never step into any moral gray areas... the problem is that people don't read.

I think that Ross should not be freed. These Free Ross people are crazy.
In March 2013, ELLINGSON, using the Silk Road username “redandwhite,” contacted Ulbricht, Silk Road’s founder, regarding a purported Silk Road user who had threatened to release personal identifying information of Silk Road drug vendors and customers. In these messages, Ellingson claimed to have control over most drug trafficking in Western Canada.
In one message, Ulbricht informed ELLINGSON that “[the murder target] is a liability and I wouldn't mind if he was executed.” In another message, Ulbricht stated: “[the murder target] is causing me problems . . . I would like to put a bounty on his head if it’s not too much trouble for you. What would be an adequate amount to motivate you to find him?” ELLINGSON responded, “[the p]rice for clean is 300k+ USD,” and the “[p]rice for non-clean is 150-200k USD depending on how you want it done.” ELLINGSON further explained, in part, that “[t]hese prices pay for 2 professional hitters including their travel expenses and work they put in.”
Ulbricht later sent ELLINGSON $150,000 worth of Bitcoin to pay for the purported murder. ELLINGSON and Ulbricht agreed on a code to be included with a photograph to prove that the murder had been carried out. In April 2013, ELLINGSON and Ulbricht exchanged messages reflecting that ELLINGSON had sent Ulbricht photographic proof of the murder. A thumbnail of a deleted photograph purporting to depict a man lying on a floor in a pool of blood with tape over his mouth was recovered from Ulbricht’s laptop after his arrest. A piece of paper with the agreed-upon code written on it is shown in the photograph next to the head of the purportedly dead individual.
Later in April 2013, ELLINGSON and Ulbricht exchanged additional messages regarding a plot to kill four additional people in Canada. Ulbricht sent ELLINGSON an additional $500,000 worth of Bitcoin for the murders. ELLINGSON claimed to Ulbricht in online messages that the murders had in fact been committed.
Law enforcement does not possess any evidence that the purported murders ELLINGSON claimed to have arranged actually took place.
I understand that ChatGPT makes things harder for people who are retarded. But if you already know stuff it just makes you irrationally angry when it's obviously wrong.

How is that possible? Can we do that too?
NOOOO, NOT THE GAMERS. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE GAMERS https://www.levelup.com/en/news/810189/Console-prices-could-skyrocket-by-40-due-to-Donald-Trumps-victory-tariffs-could-make-a-PS5-Pro-cost-up-to-1000-USD-experts-say
I think the best way to make Nostr mainstream would be marketing it as a platform where you, the users, can make money.
If only such a thing truly existed. 😂 But unfortunately: "Your Alby Hub is currently offline"
What I learned is that modern Russia and the USSR are one in the same.
No, like I said I went to the border of Russia.
For the record I'm not a communist anymore, even though a recent article accused me of it. 😂
Communism is a fake villain just like Nazism.
Isn't the term "consumer" kind of offensive?

GM Nostr and Fediverse.
Thinking about subdomains on #Mostr.
For example instead of alex_at_gleasonator.com[@]mostr.pub, I'm thinking alex[@]gleasonator.com.mostr.pub
Why? Because then each Fediverse server can be distinct on the Nostr side using regular nip05 domain filtering.
In the other direction, I'm thinking about doing basically the same thing. I would go ahead and let Mastodon catch on fire over the fact you can't change usernames.
Only nip92 imeta IPFS chads can see this.
