Every time I tried to open a free account behind a VPN, they asked for SMS verification. In their documentation, they claim its to prevent abuse. In my experience, they really do want to soft kyc you either with a kyc payment method, a phone number, or an IP address.

Because we have reservations about NIP-17, this version has not yet adopted NIP-17 in place of NIP-4. nostr:note17hdpm290vkwnpxthlkxx74r3dmhvfm3cq2smgy6ufkg469tku98s397m9x
An article on how to disable data sharing on modern Honda cars
If ethereum was a bitcoin side chain, you could create an erc20 shitcoin that could be dumped for BTC instead of ETH. Sounds like a very compelling scam to me.
Sidechains do not "mine" using hashpower. Every side chain block is mined by creating a single transaction on the main chain that pays transaction fees to main chain miners in btc like any other transaction.
Basically, if you are a sidechain , you build a sideblock by aggregating side-transactions, charging side-btc. You then turn back and offer btc to main chain miners for them to include a commitment of the block you just built on the main chain.
They do accept donations in cryotocurrency, bitcoin being the first one listed.
@npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2ygh has a great podcast episode about simplex. I've been using it since. IMO, it's almost feature complete compared with signal. Only thing I'm missing are stickers and in-app emojis.
Sounds like this could be a fedimint plugin.

Is there a way to completely disable telemetry in modern cars ? A bit like installing grapheneos on an android phone.
