I’m a design thinker, product designer, learning enthusiast, a hopeful libertarian and a proud 🟥 Geyser Guardian.

“If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war (…) Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with.” #fahrenheit451

I guess there are laws for getting rid of crime-related stuff. I think that is also a good incentive for states to start mining to get clean coins. Ultimately, it is superficial and futile effort anyway 😁 But still, if nothing else, you want to live in country which follows at least its own laws.

Like you could have a e-commerce website on Nostr? A magazine? Company site? 😲😍 What I’m afraid the most now is that a web hosting and dns hosting will be forced to shut down your website/business for whatever reason. Does Nostr make this impossible?

They are elected by citizens of each country or selected as a representatives of elected politicians. So the blame is still on us in the case of UN. I’m afraid.

to what? who doesn’t leak or provide access, back doors or doesn’t use chips with undocumented bugs?

LOL, work. You accused of exploitation and mentioned previous choices 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s becoming a bit twittery bitchy here.

Could you mention some? I haven’t care about him that much before, since I’m not from there.

Good morning! It's January 3rd, which means its not your keys, not your coins day.

Unfortunately, this year the EU has decided to make withdrawing from exchanges a hell of a lot harder by extending FATF's Travel Rule to digital assets.

The FATF Travel Rule is not just a remarkable shitshow for your financial privacy and security – it's also a law to which authorities appear to have no data on its effectiveness to prevent financial crime.

What this means for you: If you want to withdraw funds exceeding €1.000, you'll need to prove that you own the address you are intending to withdraw to to your custodian.

It also means that exchanges are required to forward your personal information, including things like your name and address, to any custodian you are transacting with, and that an exchange may collect information on whom you are sending funds to and whom you are receiving funds from.

The Travel Rule does not just make withdrawing from exchanges harder, as custodians will need to employ third party software, employ a signing protocol like AOPP, or have you conduct a micro transaction to the custodian before making your transfer.

It also poses an incredible risk to your financial privacy and security, as your KYC info will not just be stored with a custodian you trust, but with any custodian you transact with – increasing the risks of hacks and identity theft.

In its current form, the Travel Rule has been mandatory in tradfi in the EU since 2012 – But nobody seems to know whether it actually works to prevent money laundering or not.

That's why I filed a FOIA request with German authorities last month, requesting data on all money laundering convictions in Germany since 2008.

Interestingly, the Ministry of the Interior responsible for national security and overseeing Germany's law enforcement, responded that it had no such information - instead asking me to file FOIA Requests with the German Ministry of Finance, the German Customs Authority, as well as with every public prosecutors office...

...which means that the updated Travel Rule is the extension of a law to whichs effectiveness law enforcement appears to have no data.

“We’re ruling—Do not disturb!”

There is a book in Czechia on a ruling party closing a deal with the opposition to not oppose. Which seems to be somehow happening in the EU since we’re withnessing decades of turning the screws more and more with no friction at all.

Didn’t know 😱 it wouldn’t even occur to me so I didn’t check. Thanks

Just wrote up my first long form article on nostr!

Made my so bullish on nostr to use nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x that way. Thanks for such a great tool nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

With the long notes, aren’t you worried of being unable to edit it later? Correct something or update data or references? I hesitate to ‘huck’ it yet 😉

It seems you didn’t take the time to think about values and main strengths of your project, so then the discussion can be only like/dislike of a graphical element and color scheme. The first presented logo with 🤙 I didn’t like but it looked like a friendly, diverse and open app. Which are the keywords you could think about with the designer. maybe this is a good use case for AI to help you brainstorm the keywords based on your vision.

“History is written by the victors”, agree, that is the important part here, because in retrospect we can see all the atrocities of the wars and regimes, but those are not fully controlled and are sparked by the chaos of sudden change of direction of the huge states and millions of people, of which many are sick to the bone, but then there is no stopping of it and each new atrocity is just one more turn of the screw on a way to the previously intended goal. There is no way back. After all the dust settle, the victors forbid, decentivize and socially discourage a proper review of all the acts. Even less teaching the complexity in schools, because the ambiguity of events (not values) is undesirable for any new regime due to a limited time for establishing itself in a matter of one or two decades. It’s not black&white except of killing and stealing. And I agree that all states are guilty of the latter one. Who doesn’t fight wars? Owners of the mines and real estates that are being protected by the citizens who didn’t opt-in but been born-in.

I don’t do parties, so I didn’t know the game, but I wonder for how large groups it still works with 2 antagonists or if the success rate doesn’t change much. https://youtu.be/M8j1xWbyfjI
