Excellent court illustration by @Spiral

230 pages... and that does not include the appendix which goes through all of the of the forgeries rather than just the highlights.

One take-away from reading (a large chunk) of this is that it really matters when a judge is tech literate. Rather than solely relying on expert witness statements, they can draw their own conclusions.

Are they that different in terms of UX that it would be confusing to support both mint types? They seem pretty similar to me at first glance; as a user you just add a mint URL, then you can buy tokens, pay with them directly or fund a lightning payment with then.

Or is there some architectural difference that's problematic? I haven't drilled very deeply.

I would just peruse Booking . com, and for each hotel you like check Google Maps for how long the metro ride is to the venue.

Keep in mind that many Prague hotels don't have airco and June can be hot (it was fine this weekend).

Advanced mode: get a hotel in the center for the first few nights, then switch to Duo.

More like a 24 lane freeway probably? :-) nostr:note1h0ds6jyzgg5546pcfrjzx7p5azxer7763jm6tylpn9nfjkw6ycvs3jrljj

(We briefly had voting machines. Thanks to heroic efforts from hackers they were proven embarrassingly insecure and kicked out of the country like Napoleon was before them.)

Finally some optimistic news!

The Netherlands also uses paper ballots and hand written tallies that are published online (in hours to days). Last fall I downloaded and timestamped them all (inspired by Guatemala). Will do the same for the upcoming EU election (for Dutch votes).

Probably won't have time to organize a gamefied recount, but there's no rush: once the anchor of truth is deployed you can take your time. nostr:note1ynqz0qf9a02au22ausaum2zashf3ysdyp8n2u76jqdqfhajus6dqgq82ty

Hotel Duo is fine for Bitcoin Prague, but it's in a boring outskirt of the city. For other trips there are much nicer options closer to the center.

Walking distance from the venue or close to a tram line that goes there. But this year there was some festival / event / concert causing the nearby options to be unusually expensive.

There's also LAN to wifi things, so you could use a wifi hotspot. But USB-LAN hotspot on a cheap android / grapheneos phone seems easier.

The bit illustrated on the whiteboard makes sense to me yes.

> The court’s reasoning on co-perpetration seems flawed to me. It suggests that Tornado Cash, let’s call it a digital platform or system, independently enacted the acts of hiding and concealing cryptocurrency with a criminal origin. This implies that a system can engage in criminal behaviour on its own—an unusual and potentially problematic interpretation, as it shifts the criminal conduct itself from individuals to systems.

> This could have significant implications for software developers if tools are perceived as independently capable of criminal actions, making the developers responsible for the tool’s ‘actions’.

All of Nostr is, but the Mastodon UI is still misleading people into thinking it's only specific profile. Someone should make a pull request to fix that. Overzealous moderation is one thing, lack of transparency is worse - and in this case probably unintentional, so it's easy to fix. nostr:note14ufxvf0l6rzsqq342mgccqnwr07gxmjarnam76d34qzvwwdkxp3qmghj70

Timezone can be determined from when you're interacting. You can build in delays, but without a time machine you can't fully randomize timing.

The LLM thing is cool, assuming you run the thing locally.

But I did mean opportunity much more broadly than financial.

Well without compensation you have to either already be rich, get a fiat job - given you less time to work on Bitcoin - or live very cheaply. Those are all legitimate options, but they come with trade-offs.

True, online privacy was significantly easier to achieve in 2008-2011 than it is now. This is even pre Snowden revelations.

Normally I would ask: how do you make money? How do find gigs, jobs. But I want to respect your privacy. Being "famous" has often given me opportunities. But the potential downside is clear.

By the way I'm not arguing that anon devs should dox themselves. Everyone has to make their own cost-benefit analysis, and/or just follow their preference.
