some sovereign network and VPN engineering too
i feel it too
if you choose to mine, pool with the smaller pools globally to maximize decentralization. some bigger pools require KYC
mined Bitcoin can easily be no-KYC #pools #VPN #hashpower
if we're running an online service and reside in a country that cooperates with the US government, including the EU, to the limits of cryptographic privacy, then that's a big risk for individual freedom it seems
COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin.
The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”.
And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t.
If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are.
At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law.
Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken.
The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this.
And I hope they kill it. With fire.

i fear for the people involved it will come down to 'evidence of intent' about their coordination service. I hope it won't involve the peer to peer sovereignty of the Bitcoin system itself.
Phoenix Wallet to Stop Serving US Customers on May 3rd
"Recent announcements from US authorities cast a doubt on whether self-custodial wallet providers, Lightning service providers, or even Lightning nodes could be considered Money Services Businesses and be regulated as such. We are removing Phoenix Wallet from US app stores and will be assessing other potential impacts to our operations."

open source decentralized property rights. #Bitcoin
coordinators would ideally be decentralized over tor
today is dark day for open source software
the accusation of taking fees from running software one participates in creating or contributing is now a line in the US and its allies
more than fees were here!
secure E2E voice/video calls with better calendaring is a thought
