Well, if it helps people write down their mnemonic and actually care about deterministic code, I suppose the FBI did us a favor i those paragraphs.
Anonymity against a dedicated state actor is hard. And getting features built and merged without the benefit of in person meetings and conferences is a huge handicap. It's possible but there's a price.
Bitcoin development is already slow, might slow down 10 - 100x if the current crop of devs is killed (or fakes disappearance somehow) and new nyms have to take over.
You fail to understand the difference between something being and illegal and getting arrested. You are following the news?
Hope so, but my impression so far is that it's lots and lots of complexity, plus interactivity (with a coordinator?) for not that much savings.
Again, who coordinates this? Or do you have a protocol for decentralized coinjoin coordination for a full block? Not even JoinMarket can do that.
Isn't that the right angle nostr:npub18hqtw4vjsg6s0a0kyhugn5mt5fs8fp64pd8nsv66vqld5qg090pqe75kus? If I want to break the link between my balances and recipients, in good faith, I should be able to coordinate with those who want to do the same?
"should be able" leaves out the important question: who makes that possible for you and what risk are they taking. You can do it yourself, compile code yourself, etc.
You can also hope, but not demand, that someone else does that for you. But people offering such services have to make their own risk calculation. And that calculation changed a lot yesterday.
You don't have to convince me. You need to convince the US government. They have a habit of arresting people who offer such a service.
That last thing would be a one way ticket to jail. I'd prefer Craig outside of jail and productive. There's only so much developers can do to protect your human rights, others will have to do the rest (like suing the hell out of the US government).
It should be legal to make money offering privacy. That alone is worth helping their defense. But you're right that governments don't like this, and will attack.
Sooner than I expected, given that this is also a non-custodial service and the Tornado Cash trial still needs to determine what's "allowed". nostr:note1d9d9lwnxqmlj42kne9sqsh33s7e0dgtsuek3nwhzlyq3yqf8wdeslhag5c
There's still people getting paid in fiat?

Running macOS 11 Big Sur in VirtualBox on a 2019 MacBook Pro so you don't have to. It's glacial.
