This story is not newsworthy and patently red-flag suspect.
- Only source-link in OP is a coindesk article
- Hamas wouldn’t broadcast something like this unless the amount of BTC received was a pittance
- why would Hamas say ‘stop supporting us’ when they could say ‘support us more privately’
- if Hamas had large donors in responsibly private channels they would never publish this
- references in OP article are questionable
- et al
This is a proper gander “Bitcoin is for Terrists” piece, and I’ll bet 1k satoshis on it.
Anyone claim jack@lnolymp.us yet?
Asking for a friend…
Very sorry Alana.
Works great for both of the people I know who use it.
100%.
Throwing fiat incentives at a project is a fiat path to quick results, which leads to longterm disappointment.
There’s no need to be putting out fires. Nostr is a hearth, a safe place. Safe from outside assaults.
Warm your bones here for awhile #[2]
The tribe you’ve made a place for has not even begun to see your signal.
Had no idea how this worked, but entered the above address into my Zeus send-field and it worked like magic. Intuitive and lightning fast!
Whoa playah…save some for the rest of us.
I didn’t submit this to you as a question, perhaps we got signals crossed.
But appreciate the reply!
The process works well.
Heuristics monitor almost all BTC transactions leaving (& forward of) exchanges. Monero by default breaks the monitors. So having a double-Monero movement to a new non-kyc acct effectively provides best-available forward privacy. imo.
Keeping this short.
How to get Forward Privacy on BTC holdings w/o paying to whirlpool:
1) Setup 2 new single-use, no-kyc email accts (i.e. Protonmail)
2) Setup 2 no-kyc accounts on Kucoin (which allows this, and use these 2 different, unique email addresses).
3) Download Cake wallet (for Monero) to phone or whatever. Have a new BTC address/wallet waiting at the end of this.
4) Transfer your current kyc’d BTC to 1st Kucoin acct
(Kucoin allows withdrawals up to 1 BTC/day for non-kyc accts, fyi)
You can send a small amount to test this strategy.
5) Exchange BTC for Monero (XMR)
6) Transfer the Monero (XMR) out to Cake Wallet
7) Transfer some portion of this amount of Monero (XMR) from Cake Wallet to 2nd Kucoin acct (i.e. just not all, to baffle heuristics).
8) Exchange the XMR for BTC in the 2nd Kucoin acct.
9) Transfer this new BTC to a new, non-kyc’d address/wallet.
Voila: you have utilized the strength of Monero to break the stranglehold of BTC-chainwatchers to gain forward privacy for nothing more than the (pennies) cost of a few BTC/XMR transactions.
Addendum: Kucoin’s interface is a bit wonky at first…they have a “Main” account for sending/receiving, but then assets must be transferred to the “Trading” account to trade, then transferred back again to send/receive. Spend time getting used to it.
I was debating #onlyzaps in my head this morning, not sure how I felt about it, then realized I’d never know unless I tried it. So I enabled it on Damus…
Within moments it just felt right. And I haven’t even zapped anyone yet.
So anywho I’m posting this now to encourage Nostr’ers on the fence like me to just enable it for a day, or two, see how it hits you in the feelz. Then debate it intellectually after that.
Ordinals is alive and kickin’ at Bitcoin 2023! So shut yer piehole and keep passively embracing them, plebs.

You’re doing great things Samson, imho. I’m sorry you have to be someone who attracts otherwise good people with bad programming.
Bitcoin is a test of who we are.
If you don’t understand this, fair enough.
Stay out of the way.
We’re at war.
There’s no room for children at the table.
If you’re not here as an adult, respect the adults, learn from them, be humble.
We have one chance to get this right.

Tough to make much of anything out of this…is this temporary employees? Migrant farm labor? Part-time (sub-36hrs a week) workers?
Much is skewed by quarantine-times….
And of course the most important question…is the data 3rd party verifiable?
I hodl my modest Bitcoin because I have a very real and thought out Step 2.
I’d never ask #[2] about his next step, not my place obv, but I cannot imagine he doesn’t have a Step 2…and I ponder on this quite often.
It’s a fair question…and one I don’t want or expect to be answered publicly.
But #[3] has my blessing to speak to you about it man to man, fwiw.
Only question worth asking when we’re down to the wire:
What do you want?
“Thank you for choosing us…we’ve been waiting for you.”
(not a question i know)
