Building @Rigly + Upendo Hashrate marketplace with non-custodial escrow - rigly.io Solo mine with bitcoiners - upendo.rigly.io

Mine new bitcoin to get kyc-free privacy - rigly.io or Nicehash etc

Unfortunately I think those approaches are security theatre

We're seeing the fiat rails close for CoinJoined bitcoin and the mixer crackdowns (Bitcoin Fog) are likely to continue

I started a project to simplify access to mining (Rigly) so people can get new bitcoin that way

But there just isn't much new bitcoin left...

Eh its all KYC bitcoin

Unless you mine new btc kyc-free, it's going to end up in one government or another's control

Sure. The state will just wait for those funds to move, then come a calling your way. That's life under KYC.

I think that's right. No direct change but potential slow blocks (+increase fees to get into fewer blocks) during subsequent difficulty adjustments while things shake out...

Related, there could be a fight across multiple mining pools for block 840,000 due to its high value to the Ordinals / rare sats crowd (same estimates are >$1M for the single rare epic sat) ... and so we will likely see block reorgs (and potentially higher fees) as the miners struggle to keep possession of that block.

I wish this post was reassuring - but it just makes me realize how rigged things are

How much of that chart is kyc'd bitcoin?

The individual can't do much when the state a) asks you to turn in bitcoin b) has your KYC info for every purchase

I built Rigly so people have a way to mine bitcoin and get kyc-free, but time is running out.

The state is sending a message

They want as much bitcoin as possible to stay kyc'd

There's always room for more kyc-free bitcoin
