Just an engineer studying technology and money. Moreover, the translator of Argentarius.

But what is the privacy advantage, unless you go to lengths to have non traceable gift cards?

The p2p Sats are usually more tainted and more risky of landing on government watch lists than a KYC light provider in Switzerland.

I don’t really see any privacy advantages in p2p on Fiat.

My point was that p2p exchanges have benefits, but privacy ain’t one, if you pay with standard fiat rails.

I would trust no Mixing service. So far most have been demixed and even if not, maybe in 10 years it will. A decent Lightning obfuscation is better IMO, if you can only use one.

Bolt-12 will significantly enhance the Lightning obfuscation abilities.

If you zap from your main wallet, you have a giant security issue and should fix that first, before thinking about privacy.

Custodial wallets are a good solution for zaps.

Else use a Lnbits wallet on a 1 buck a month vps plus a vpn tunnel.

The best way is to just go to Czech Republic or other countries that allow no KYC atms, cash in done.

Gift cards, if bought with Fiat are often also trackable, unless bought with cash, which is unnecessary complexity over atm.

For me my dca is KYC light, because it’s the best KYC/convenience trade-off, since it goes into a time lock anyways and will not be touched before the authoritarians have been ousted.

I think you are delusional on that one. Several three letter agencies had to already admit that they are active on P2P exchanges.

With so little liquidity on the exchanges, the default assumption needs to be that the counter party is able to tie your bank details to your person (and since it’s the counter party also the UTXO) and is an adversary (criminal or Fed).

So this point goes to the KYC light exchanges that at least don’t share your data with the government by default.

No. The whole concept of zaps is that they are like comments or likes, but with value.

Anon zaps are the exception.

KYC gives the same info as your wire information, but you have no plausible deniability.

P2P is known to be full of feds and scammers.

So both options have downsides.

21 zaps of 21 sats is the way

Replying to Avatar QW

The DCA is the base. I FOMO on price drops on top of that, when I have Fiat.

How about this?

But in general, it’s really strange that you even have these doubts and ask for evidence.

Supposedly you are the guy that looked into it, but clearly you haven’t.

The theory applies to all electromagnetic waves and all media.

But for some reason, you think light and air should be different, even though all observances are in line with the equations… the equations which you haven’t even bothered to look into.

Basically you are trying to claim that the equations are suspect, the measurements of earth are sus, but you cannot even yourself calculate an example that the image violates.

You simply say „mountain shouldn’t be visible“ when that’s not at all what the current theories suggest.

In fact if the mountain was NOT visible at least some of the time, that would invalidate the science.

I think you meant Snell’s Law which is used to describe light passing through a boundary between two isotropic (homogeneous) media, such as water, glass or air. And as you can see it is not relevant in our case, as in the original photo the light passes solely through a single media which is air with supposedly different refraction indexes at different layers.

I am stating the fact that using simple geometry it is not possible to see as far away as 443km according to official earth’s size and dimensions, as any object would be under the physical horizon by more than *5* kilometres. This is not my personal proposal, it is a geometrical fact. If someone claims that it is possible nevertheless due to the layers of air through which the light passes being of different temperature, pressure and humidity and subsequently having different refraction indexes - the burden of proof is on them. They literally need to provide photographic evidence coupled with all the other relevant data points. There is no other way to objectively prove this theory otherwise. I don’t understand how this is even debatable.

Thank you for sharing the video. Is this the best documented “evidence” for terrestrial refraction that’s out there? I have a lot of problems with it, mainly that it shows light going through air, glass and water (with sugar in it) at the same time, this is 3 completely different media. How is this supposed to be the evidence of how the light acts between the boundaries of supposedly different layers of air? I am not even going to go into how this experiment is done unprofessionally, all kinds of variables were straight up changed in the midst of it. If you have any other proper scientific evidence (preferably that is not documented by some amateur conspiracy debunkoor), I would appreciate if you could share it with all of us.

This video simply demonstrates how it works, single medium water, with sugar for various density zones.

Would be a bit hard to show the effect with air, because the aquarium would need to be so large.

He even has a simulation where you can check the formulas.

And the propagation of electrical waves is described by the Maxwell equations.

Sorry to say, but if you don’t know what Maxwells equations are, I don’t think you know the basics to even try and debunk the current theories.

DoJ says that adding context to the footage they showed in court is a dangerous case of taking information out of context.
