Not long ago it was the Tornado Cash case but that was on Ethereum and largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners. Then it was the Bitcoin Fog case but that was custodial and again largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners.

To some, the trajectory has been clear for several years. Often times those warning of real and present dangers are met with skepticism and dismissed as FUDsters.

Yesterday it was Samourai Wallet, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with the ability to coordinate CoinJoins. If you brushed off Tornado Cash & Bitcoin Fog, don't make the same mistake this time.

The language used by the FBI is so broad and generalized in their PSA and their recent actions have been so over-reaching that it should now be crystal clear to any Bitcoiner that any Bitcoin wallet project not implementing KYC measures runs the risk of having the developers arrested for operating an unlicensed Money Services Business. Node projects and miners are not far behind.

The entire pretext to this narrative is false because Bitcoin is software, software is code, code is speech, and freedom of speech is a God-given right. Ask yourself, where do you draw the line? What rights are you willing to defend? And if push came to shove, how far are you willing to go to defend those rights?

"Give me liberty or give me death" are not hollow words because a life without liberty is not a life worth living. Many have already made the ultimate sacrifices and many more will follow in their foot steps. Every dialogue consists of a call and a response and right now the FBI is having a one-sided conversation. Make a stand and respond loudly and clearly that the erosion ends now.

Arrested, not convicted. And its only done in country that have strong control policy. Nothing change, things are opensource and self-hosted right ?

Its like usual then.

IMPORT YOUR EXISTING SAMOURAI WALLET INTO SPARROW WALLET

Read entire post before attempting at home!

You will need:

1. Your Samourai Wallet seed phrase (12 words)

2. Your passphrase

3. Sparrow Wallet downloaded and installed on to your computer. (https://www.sparrowwallet.com)

Configure your server. This could be your own node, or a public electrum server. I have selected Blocksteam's electrum server here.

https://void.cat/d/tepSUYuDJZwEZtwNmuf6C.webp

Toggle on your server using the switch on the bottom right. It should turn yellow, green or blue depending on what you've selected.

Go to File -> New Wallet, or click on New Wallet.

https://void.cat/d/77w9Z2qJVWRw8hqKjgrU54.webp

Name your wallet.

https://void.cat/d/Mpjvk4PUpaMbUW8TQDXZdy.webp

Click on New or Imported Software Wallet.

https://void.cat/d/Qe3dUWMpXikRabdrwYU95u.webp

On the dropdown menu besides the Mnemonic Words (BIP39), select 12 words. Type your seed into the fields displayed in the correct order from 1 to 12.

Check the "Use passphrase?" option. Insert your passphrase and click Create Keystore.

https://void.cat/d/RwGXKENhUxDop61gmFEsZZ.webp

Click on Import Keystore.

https://void.cat/d/6gnrC8FAYy1LqFTqJHL2V8.webp

Reenter your passphrase as prompted

https://void.cat/d/EF2cnjoDQ1sAiqwMYqW3wV.webp

Click on Apply on the bottom right.

https://void.cat/d/GBzT1GXF14YMTSTtTWo5FB.webp

If you want to add a password to open up your wallet with, enter one, otherwise click No Password.

https://void.cat/d/RRGNKKmpQikdUJKxbFccXJ.webp

In the bottom of the settings page, you will see "Add Account..." button. Click on it.

https://void.cat/d/SzPC67pcdjZPQe7imFn3An.webp

From the dropdown menu, select Whirlpool Accounts

https://void.cat/d/JZn4zB5Zj2xXxR9maDuhny.webp

Your wallet will be scanned by the server you have selected. You should also be able to see your respective deposit, premix, postmix and bad bank accounts.

https://void.cat/d/XnAkV8pYvReFbqmKCPiXg8.webp

You should now be able to send your bitcoin to another wallet/address of your choosing. I would recommend sending this out to a hardware wallet.

Notes:

- Be sure you obtain sparrow wallet from sparrowwallet dot com. Get it right!

- Because you are inputing seed words into a computer, ensure no keyloggers are installed. Be wary of dodgy browser extensions.

- Dojo users need not worry. This is for those who used SW backend.

- Beware of scammers on the Sparrow Telegram chat. They're out in full force today. Nobody will ask you for your seed words. Do not give them out to anyone.

Why go for sparrow wallet ?

Replying to Avatar Bayer

why?

There no other alternatives. All get crush under some regulation or in bizarre storytelling.

Remember if you dont have problem w middlemen/suits, that mean u are captured.

Sparrow never get in any problem so far. That strange.

What happen to other HW this year ? or in the end of last year ?

Adam back enterprise never get in trouble ever. His enterprise are rewarded, another strange story humm...

u forget they have more tools now.

They have paid devs, paid podcasts, paid miners (in bitcoin they have 8 of 10 major)

They also have more talking nonsense voice (twiitter accounts, market nonsense promoters, """security researchers"""" XD)

and my favorite of all "innovators"

u tink those group are in for the good of bitcoin ?

Circle (United States)

Civic (United States)

Coinbase (United States)

Coins.ph (Phillipines)

CryptoFacilities (UK)

Decentral (Canada)

Digital Currency Group (United States)

F2Pool (China)

Filament (United States)

Gavin Andresen (United States)

Genesis Global Trading (United States)

Genesis Mining (Hong Kong)

GoCoin (Isle of Man)

Grayscale Investments (United States)

XD XD XD

Its always about market control. This time, it is about capture the market and the surveillance.

Where whirlpool customers will go ?

Bisq

coinbase

strike

...

They all under strict control. So next time u want to buy bitcoin put some brain behind if its traceable (kyc) or not.

All and all to say this is good for bitcoin. Bitcoin price will go up thanks to corrupt people. And will only survive if people put the work, without losing the ideas behind what the protocol is about. The answers is never be money !
