The final moments of Keonne Rodriguez's freedom as he walks into the federal prison where he was sentenced to serve 5-years. The SDNY has ripped a substantial leader from the Bitcoin industry & more importantly ripped a husband away from his wife & family. #pardonsamourai now.
Thank you. Once they have bother surrendered and are no longer on bail then we will open up a sats option.
Thank you! That looks great! Here is that video: https://x.com/bitkite/status/1885337785537593520
Tonight is Keonne's last night with his family, he will report to prison tomorrow for building Samourai Wallet. We will continue fighting for a pardon for him & Bill. The petition has gained some traction & we only need about 1,500 more signatures to reach the 10k milestone. Please keep signing & sharing the petition to pardon Samourai, every signature helps.

Thank you π Due to their bail conditions we will not bring any cryptocurrency options online until after their surrender dates.
Keonne talks about the power of open-source code & the Ashigaru project.

Keonne, Gabriel Custodiet, & I recorded a 15-minute update on the Samourai Wallet situation today.
One of the things we discussed is that Tdev sends his gratitude for all the support from everyone. Even though he isn't active on social media, you can still hear from him as he regularly posts to his Substack:

According to the legal theory put forth by the DOJ, the Lightning node operator, mainnet node operator, miner, software wallet developer, & hardware wallet engineer are all unlicensed money transmitting businesses. They all "facilitate the transfer of funds by any and all means".
The State wants total transparency into your personal finances & they will deploy the full force of their violence to stop anyone who stands in their way. Even if they didn't break any laws, like Samourai Wallet.

If prosecutors can send non-custodial Bitcoin wallet developers to prison as unlicensed money transmitters, then they can definitely do the same to Bitcoin miners.

There are no privacy guarantees with Bitcoin, that's a problem for p2p electronic cash. Samourai Wallet's CoinJoin implementation made it possible for Bitcoin users to have similar anonymity as cash users. And for that, the devs were sentenced to 4 & 5 years in prison.

Unbelievable that this even needs to be said but the deranged basement dwellers are circulating rumors: Signing with an alias & disposable email is 100% acceptable & does not dilute the validity of the petition. Change[.]org themselves encourage the use of pseudonyms for privacy-minded individuals:
The fuck are you talking about? Where I choose to live has absolutely nothing to do with the Samourai Wallet petition. The fact you even try making this correlation is highly suspicous. I was fired from my job of 10 years because I refused the covid vaccine. My own family members wouldn't let me in their homes because I didn't take the vaccines. And I'm the one who abandoned them? You know absolutely nothing surrounding the circumstances of my move yet you choose to frame it like this?
The trajectory toward criminalizing self-custody is clear, taking down Samourai Wallet was one step on the road to 6102 v2.

Very statist and ignorant response. Thanks for sharing π
Day 460 since the Samourai Wallet developers were indicted, raided, & arrested.
Non-custodial wallets are not money transmitters. CoinJoins are not money laundering. Drop the charges. Stop the lawfare.

Hats for sale. 100% passed through to the Samourai Wallet defense fund. I donated the material cost, @knowbitcoin discounted the production costs. Shipping to lower US 48 or local pickup options.
