Taxes are a scam. Bitcoin fixes this.

I'm in Dallas for BitBlockBoom. Any Bitcoiners want to get some steaks?

how cool would it be if a wallet could say "hey be careful, this mint didn't pass the audit in the last 7 days"

Not that cool since the funds would have already been stolen 6 days earlier?

Lightning is nice, but it's still limited to smaller amounts or you need to rely on a custodian.

If you do proxy shopping anyways you can add more proxy (s)hops in between. Sending to a box and not yo your address also helps with some attack vectors.

That's not an excuse, if you want to spend huge amounts of Bitcoin anonymously, use Coinjoin.

OKAY SO WHAT’S THE BULLISH NARRATIVE

OUTSIDE OF THE STRATEGIC RESERVE HOPIUM?

ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF ADOPTION?

ANY REMARKABLE TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH THAT INCREASES FUNGIBILITY AND SCALABILITY?

BETTER UX?

One more merchant?

Immediately after Turbolay and me received Wasabi, everybody suggested that we start looking for some grants to support the development effort. After all, Wasabi is just a FOSS software without any source of revenue, and there wasn't a company to pay our salaries anymore. The most resounding alternatives were OpenSats and the HRF grants, and I was suggested to apply to both of them. However, I wanted to avoid asking for money from the HRF, and for that reason, I applied to OpenSats even though I knew that many of the people behind it were not the biggest fans of Wasabi. Anyway, I preferred to ask for help from those who I perceive as part of the community. My application was rejected. Turbolay applied before me but his application was rejected too.

Turbolay then decided to apply for one of the HRF grants and asked me if I was okay with him applying for both of us together as the "Wasabi team," and I agreed. So he did it. It was a mistake; I shouldn't have agreed, but I knew that even though they usually highlight how important privacy is for democracy, they would not support us (maybe they cannot do it, who knows). The application was rejected.

After that, Turbolay started looking for a job, and fortunately, he found a non-fiat one! But I cannot avoid feeling that if I had released the Wasabi Silent Payment donation button earlier, he would still be 100% available for Wasabi. Even though Turbolay is still making great contributions, he's a fucking hero, a real one 🫡

Turbolay has the strength of 10 men combined. He rebuilt the destroyed citadel and made it an even taller symbol of inspiration.

But I cant zap to you😿

I've decided I will not receive zaps unless they go directly to self custody.

What wallets can hide it? I know nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 can.

Zapping is fun because there's no way you can be mistaken as a bot/AI. Notifications hit harder when there's money attached.

Most Bitcoin wallets suffer from the same design flaw: Showning the balance in big fat digits on the main screen.

Blur it, hide it behind a button, or whatever. Just don't write it right onto everyone's face.

The best privacy is to say nothing at all.

The second best privacy is to say things so heroic and truthful that your enemies can't reveal your words to the world.

Their goggles feature. As nostr:nprofile1qqsv695mmraa29u792x5nrlux8f6urjqsf0l9w9gt634n3z9tgg8e2qpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0wpzaha pointed out, it might be missing some though.

I don't think mempool's goggles have ever tracked JoinMarket style coinjoins at all.

Take care of your financial privacy, use collaborative transactions for consolidation and LN channel openings while it's cheap.

What do you use to check Joinmarket's coinjoin activity?

"Social Security Number" is the string that binds you to your slavery.

"Private Key" is the string that unravels your freedom.

Socialism is merely the philosophy of envy followed by the practice of looting.
