always a catch when it comes to shortcuts.
it's a really good compilation of some of the most interesting anarchist thinkers in history imo. I read it when it came out but it's a tad dense sometimes so I'm gonna try to take it slower this time.
probably as good a time as any to re-read this masterpiece
Let them scam. We will build under their noses and when the world is ready they won't know what hit them.
Let the politicians and normies be distracted with scams and memes. If they knew the revolution we are building under their noses they'd be much more hostile. Everything is good.
I didn't either I guess he made movies
Arizona becomes the 10th state to introduce Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation
Senate Bill 1025, by Representative Jeff Weninger and Senator Wendy Rogers, titled the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, would allow public funds to invest up to 10% of public monies under their control in virtual currency holdings.

good luck to the crypto scammers planning their rugs this year. I'll enjoy watching.
then after he's freed Trump can go back to being on the receiving end of my GFY comments
it solves it if you use it to solve it
I fully expect blinded paths and BOLT12 to be the lightning standard across all implementations this year. This will vastly improve receive privacy over BOLT11. Phoenix already does this. As for on chain footprints, taproot is already proving to be great at obfuscating on chain events. And as for using probes and pinning to attempt to see how much liquidity are in channels, I think that may always exist HOWEVER that is not a big deal in my opinion. Lastly, there are hundreds of well connected routing nodes on the network, so big nodes don't seem scary to me. Further, you can always choose to avoid nodes when you make a payment if you want to. I will leave it there.
I hate to break it to you but there's no better way to move bitcoin non custodial if you value privacy than lightning. IF there is a better way, please let me know.
I agree with that entire article. Taproot based opens/closes are very easy to do now, nearly 2 years later though. They are not so obvious on the block explorer anymore. Further, with all that being true, lightning is still magnitudes better for privacy than on chain is.
yeah my argue is that the data that could be derived is all peobabalystic nonsense. and even if you could there's NO PRIVATE IRL DATA LEAKED
that doesn't negate the privacy features at all
do you know that payments are onion based
We're not (only) concerned with the node runners we're concerned with channels. And it is certainly not impossible to figure out what utxo funds the channel.
And the vast majority of utxos are tied to KYC info.
As far as Unannounced channels providing privacy goes
there's a new method for probing nodes announced every couple of months.
if you're not aware of them then you're a really bad fudbuster.
This one isn't even the latest

The simple fact is that let Ln is a beta network that has not been battle tested and you have no idea what privacy concerns you're really getting
or if the ones you have now will last the next 6 mos.
NOT a privacy layer.
That doesn't doxx anything except for how much nodes can receive and who they MIGHT have channels with. That doesn't
1. stop transactions
2. prove who sent what to who
3. prove who received what from who
4. prove ownership over any node
you're grabbing numbers out of your ass and acting like you know things. get therapy.
