An adverse ruling for Samourai on subsection (C) would have a narrower impact than a previously feared ruling on subsection (B) would have had. Proving actual knowledge or intent is an additional burden the State must satisfy to reach a conviction. Unfortunately for Samourai, the DOJ will likely use the Defendants' social media posts against them to show knowledge and intent.

If Samourai's non-custodial CoinJoin coordinator business can violate Β§ 1960(b)(1)(C), bitcoin miners or LSPs could be similarly liable if their businesses "involve[] the transportation or transmission of funds" that they know come from or go toward an unlawful activity.

In Count Two, the DOJ originally alleged that Samourai conspired to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business in violation of 18 U.S.C. Β§ 1960(b)(1)(B) and (C). The DOJ recently withdrew subsection (B) in a superseding indictment, leaving only subsection (C) remaining.

Thus, liability for Count Two now hinges on whether Samourai was a (1) "money transmitting business" that (2) "involve[d] the transportation or transmission of funds" (3) that Samourai knew came from or were intended for an unlawful purpose.

I deserve a lil treat for cleaning all the glass

The 2025 St. Louis tornado is the tenth costliest on record with $1.6 billion of damage. The EF3 killed 5, injured 38, and had peak winds of 152 mph. https://blossom.primal.net/f7f97235415fe4ebe9409a0c8206317d7e9feb009579e6c1b113b0392ead83e3.mp4

The only crypto that I hear normies talk about these days is XRP.

This is even more dramatic than a lesbian breakup

This is making leg day harder

Spam is not the problem.

The problem is there isn't more of it.

Bitcoin only works long-term if miners can make enough revenue from txn fees alone.

Lmao but also somewhat relatable

Hard forking should not be taboo discussion. After all, Bitcoin will have to hard fork by 2106 anyway to fix an overflow bug.

All options should be considered to ensure that Bitcoin is censorship-resistant freedom money.

Me: Is it humid outside?

Roommate: No.

Me: How is it not humid outside?

RM: It just didn't feel humid to me.

Me: I'm looking at the app right now. It says it's 88% humidity.

RM: It just didn't feel humid to me.

Me: Is it possible you don't know what humid means? It refers to moisture or dampness in the air.

RM: I know what it means. I just didn't think it felt humid.

Me: *steps outside* For God's sake it feels like the bathroom after someone takes a hot shower. This doesn't feel humid to you?

RM: Well you know how you always say DC is humid? It doesn't feel like that.

Me: ... Is it possible you're conflating temperature and humidity? Those are two separate and independent variables. The air can be hot and humid, but it can also be cold and humid. Again, humidity refers to moisture or dampness in the air. It has nothing to do with temperature.

RM: Well okay. That's good to know then.

I'd be more bullish on bitcoin if there was more conversation on privacy than on spam.

It's not easy to sever your bitcoin use from your identity.

Someone at Bitcoin 2025 needs to convince JD Vance to get Trump to pardon the Samourai Wallet developers.

The DOJ is waging lawfare against open-source software developers under an egregious interpretation of the law that could make any bitcoin miner the next target

I want the IMF destroyed.

Some of the most extreme tornado damage occurred on 5/27/97 in Jarrell, TX. It parked over Double Creek Estates for 3 minutes, killing all 27 residents above ground in the core. Cattle were dismembered and skinned, and responders could not distinguish human from animal remains.

Or does it not work like that

Today is 14-year anniversary of the worst tornado disaster in over 70 years. The Joplin EF5 tornado had estimated winds of 225-250 mph. It killed 158, injured over 1100, and cost $2.8 billion.

The recent Netflix documentary shows testimony and recordings from the incredible event. https://blossom.primal.net/aadedc67186fd9c7065496bccae52bc2dbfb1044d6e0ccab989ac1bf6d6cc0ad.mp4

It's been 12 years since the last EF5-rated tornado. Jeffrey Lechus calmly captured some of the closest footage of the May 20, 2013 Moore tornado on his way to pick up his son from school. The twister killed 24, injured 212, and caused $2 billion in damage over its 14-mile path. https://blossom.primal.net/a2399d70a5d75c28025ea8e145807964ae47f47ae98694e7cf359fc5b55c0e76.mp4

Omg what is wrong with me

A significant tornado event occurred in London, Kentucky last night. So far 14 deaths have been confirmed, making it the deadliest tornado since the 2023 Rolling Fork, MS tornado.

BTW please don't kidnap me. I don't have THAT much BTC tbh (like not a kidnapable amount IMO). And the little I do have is stored with people who have lots of guns πŸ˜‹

You can kidnap me if you're hot though
