Wow, this is a damn PIECE OF HISTORY!

Very cool and feels like a great analogy to the state of Nostr now

Then slipped, fell down the stairs and died?!

Unfortunately it's not only a Dem VS Rep problem...

Mullvad changed...

For those of you who don’t know, we’re waging a war against involuntary Big Tech. Thanks to you sharing our article criticizing Mullvad’s use of Gmail, they just started self-hosting emails:

https://mullvad.net/en/blog/we-now-self-host-our-support-email

Huge win for freedom, because it shows that it’s possible to get someone to give a shit. But unfortunately, there’s still a lot of work to be done. The overwhelming majority of privacy/political freedom/crypto sites all use it and do not give one diddly squat.

However, despite the odds against us, I believe change is possible. And here is the plan. We need another 2 or 3 wins to give this idea some momentum. Then I will do serious outreach, and convince “privacy” sites to reduce big tech hopefully without it coming to public shame. And I start with THE most egregious abuse case AnonShop. Anonshop.app offers supposedly “anonymous” Amazon packages for Monero, to hide your info...

But where does Anonshop.app host this? On Amazon’s AWS! They charge 20% above cost, to have packages forwarded to people’s homes, to hide their address from Amazon, only to have them submit their address in a text box literally on Amazon’s servers?! You’re going to say “oh but there’s a PGP key”. Yeah a public key that this CIA contractor can swap! You don’t think they see what you’re doing as money laundering?

If you’re a Bitcoin Maxi, I call upon you to talk shit. The crusade I fight has the potential to spread across all privacy sites. Purse.io WAS the Bitcoin version of AnonShop, but they got bought out and ended. Let’s get these types of shops back up with public support, but open in the right way.

If you’re a Monero head, now is your chance to get better service. If AnonShop will change to a privacy-respecting host, one that keeps the crypto economy circular… Then I pledge to give them free advertising on my nostr and session feeds. Give them the Session name “AnonShop” to use. Write an article about their service, and most importantly recommend them when people ask.

But my words will fall on deaf ears without you. For if I am ignored, it’s your freedom that’s ignored.

But if you embrace this and share it, we can someday make invasive spyware an option and not a requirement. And most importantly, a circular economy. A world where you don’t even need sites like AnonShop or Purse, because the vendors accept it direct. Mullvad just showed us change is possible, and two is trend.

I’m an optimist. Are you?

Well, yes, look at those pictures... Imagine living there and suddenly they build the mining farm there that makes noise 24/7/365

Difficult to find a good solution for everybody especially after the operation has started

The problem is that even by staking to a single address you still have multiple UTXOs... Which means high fees

If instead you can pay using only one of the many addresses to make a single payment without "commingleing" staks you gains in privacy and fees

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.

Only Welcome to Law.

It's just sickening that that's allowed to happen

Of course it's a difficult topic, but when it's so clear he's lying and just trying to (and unfortunately succeeded in some instances) suppress voices that expose him thanks to just having a lot of $$$$ at his disposal

Now that he's been caught multiple times lying to a court and falsified documents he courts should just shut him down as fast as possible and make him pay increasingly higher fines and damages

Like you see, no mercy, if he tries again he and his bakers should just get bankrupted and jailed

Curious on what you used and what's the prompt on this great image

There's definitely a lot of human rights/power abuse going on in those mass arrests...

On the other side, wtf can you do onece it's as bad as it was in El Salvador before all those arrests?!

Just ask the gangs to chill out and get more civil?

Tell the people who try not to have anything to do with them to just his at home and don't "provoke" them? "If you ignore them they'll go avay"?!

Now that the order has been restored (at least for the most part) we'll see if they're able to weed out the real dangerous/crazy people and re integrate the not completely lost ones

Yust a couple years back I was thinking i could make some $$$$ with BTC and buy a Flat/House (with mortgagee), even if the prices are super high, "because it give's cashflow and they'll go up forever"

Over time that changed from "Yes of course I'll buy a house/flat" to "Why would I buy realestate (or anything else as investment) instead of Bitcoin if the later will suck out the monetary premium of the former and everything else?!!! It'll go up forever Laura!"

I understand if you can buy a house/Flat with a loan so that you pay less monthly for your mortgage then rent would be, then it might make sense in some situations, but you'll probably own less Sats then otherwise

That they try is out of question, France is going down a really dark path... Let's hope people fight back before the only way out is a 1793 stile uprising... Although I'm not sure it isn't already to late

Good start, if well doen it prevent's a central authority to mingle with the results...

But the counting and timeatamping has to be done right otherwise it's forever in the Blockchain but wrong, so what's known as "the oracle problem"
