Nope. What's this?

I use only P2P

GM 🔆 ☕

Zaps to new followers who agree with 👇 the below

KYC-Free BTC > KYC BTC

You trying to buy non kyc or kyc

THIS WILL BE USED AS AN EXCUSE FOR MORE KYC ON THE INTERNET. WHICH WILL BE HIGHLY INEFFECTIVE AT STOPPING IT BUT WILL GIVE THOSE IN POWER MORE CONTROL OVER SPEECH.

WE WILL MITIGATE IT WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SIGNATURES AND WEBS OF TRUST.

Also, have a niche product that people may want. My NONKYC stack is slowly growing since I sold my first bottle of my hobby maple syrup on twitter 2 yrs ago, my nostr sales are outpacing X this year. I also talked my sister to sell some of her handmade tallow soap for BTC last year.

I AM SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR TEAM AT OPENSATS.

IF YOU WORKED ALONGSIDE THESE PEOPLE YOU WOULD NOTE IN CAPS TOO.

super stoked rn

did the big walk to a CTT that was open this afternoon for me to pay my customs fee to release my package from being destroyed tomorrow, nearest by foot was Ponta Delgada

finally got there, after a big walk

oh yes, i have a series of photographs to show from my trek:

in chronological order

a bunch of sheeps with lambs that i snapped on my way back from not having the code the lady at the CTT in sao vicente needed for me to pay the extortion fee:

the dark tunnel, one of the older ones, not covered in nasty concrete, and leaking everywhere around the entry and exit:

this is about 1/3 of the way between sao vicente and ponta delgada

ok, so next, the awesome reason why there was no cars to bug me as i trudged along the road:

first a fallen bridge:

then, a little further ahead, half the road fell down:

eventually i got to a spot where i had the option of following the car path or veering off to the right for some walking on foot:

there there was some nasty dogs that could have jumped down to fight me but instead just stood there dumb as toast 1m above me in their yard yapping

after that, the approach to the end of the foot/horse road:

to the left was this awesome, sadly fallen down old vinery:

and then directly across the road where the car roads start again, this cute little antiquariat:

it was quite the diversion but idk what to say about a post office that is only open in the morning... the bulgarian expression еби си майката springs to mind

but i got the job done, and now i will not miss another failed-to-declare shipment ever, at least until the end of the world or proper WW3 that cuts off all sea and air transport to the island, which i look forward to, to watch all the fatass lazy bastards living off corruption and tourism discovering they have to actually lift their legs up once in a while.

I think that's exactly the problem though - It's a web of trust, not of verifiability. As far as the user experience, it works very much like like Bisq or Robosats.

You put up orders in a P2P market, users take the orders looking for the users with the best reputation, exchange details for payment using E2EE, and trade.

The problem is, that's what it says it does, and that's what it seems to do when you use it. You can't be sure, because you can't verify what the app is actually doing code-wise.

That being said, I like the ideal of the web of trust - You end up transacting with people you know, hence the risk is significantly lowered. The problem is a web of trust does away with randomness, and thus properties such as plausible deniability which are important when you're looking to protect either your privacy or anonymity online.

Maybe I don't want my friends to know I bought or sold BTC - I suddenly become singled-out and cannot participate in the network Looking through.

Having read through the article and checked the website and github, it also seems to not employ an escrow system, and instead payments are done fiat-first. I foresee the amount of problematic trades in such a model are going to be way increased IF you NEED to trade with someone outside of the previously setup web of trust. That's a big problem.

Are you going to a Bitcoin Halving party or meetup next month?

🤔 How quickly can I get a decent following from lets say 60 to 3,000 bitcoiners on NOSTR?

I’ll zap you serious amounts of sats if you:

- follow me

- engage with my content (talk shit or criticism also welcome)

- create your own valuable content on NOSTR

- Pull people in from X and encourage them to use sovereign social media without filters or algorithms

Together we can increase NOSTR adoption amongst Bitcoiners to make it more robust, by actually using the tools these awesome devs built for us.

Are you in? Let’s do some PoW!

Pretty much.

Revolut becomes the weakest link in the chain, but for them you're just sending money to someone, somewhere, for some reason (don't include anything to do with BTC in the reference (I usually include the order's last digits so both I and the receiver can identify that order).

Nowadays, with global e-commerce in the form of eBay, Etsy, etc, it's almost impossible to say "that person sent money because of BTC". You'd already have to be targetted with ongoing investigation at such a point - However, if you don't use that option, the seller can indeed be a very weak link because on the other end they may gave a KYC-esque ledger themselves that keeps track of who they're "supposedly" trading with.

Either way, you gain a higher degree of plausible deniability at the very least.

Also recommend RoboSats and Bisq (have done hundreds of trades across), and Peach Bitcoin (if you're in the EU).

I'm this old.

GM freaks. It's beautiful to work on open source because of the people. It's beautiful to work on Bitcoin because of the world.

What a bullrun!!!

* BISQ v2

* Whirlpool Decentralization

* Cashu pay 2 npub

* Signal adds Usernames

* Craig Wright is officially not Satoshi

* and much more

But don’t forget that the corrupt political establishment is already attacking Bitcoiners.

And it’s getting worse.

Those who live in the EU where you buy #bitcoin ? P2P?
