travel the world and test all things related to bitcoin. run nodes (bitcoin / LN / mining) for entertainment. class of ‘11. very old and grumpy. freedom is the only possible goal. truth is the method of reaching it. bitcoin is the vehicle.

this is a bit too radical, you should have used a :vsplit vim command to achieve a split screen effect.

Bybit hack is exactly why money and smart contracts should never exist at the same logical level. It's like adding a grocery store to a gold vault - fun, probably convenient for some, but an absolute security nightmare.

Bitcoin does it the hard way but at least we have no shopping carts in the vault.

duh everyone knows Craig Wright is Satoshi. he has way more proofs and likes to show them.

Another day, another exchange I am suspended from.

All of my funds are conjoined or swapped between LN/XMR for privacy before sending to exchanges, triggering all sorts of nonsense AML flags.

The exchange I am with now is requesting proof of funds, meaning it wants to see fiat coming into my bank account from an entity I have a business relationship with, asking me to "kindly assist them" in surveilling me.

Except that all of my business relationships are handled in bitcoin – meaning that it is impossible for me to show proof of fiat funds.

Alternatively, the exchange says, I could send them “the address” to which I received payment in the last year, matching the amount of money I have exchanged on their platform.

Obviously no such address exists as I create a new address for each transaction (and so should you). Additionally, much of my money comes in through donations, for which I simply do not have an invoice.

I could now send them every single zap I ever received on nostr in the past year – for context, that would be over 250 zaps in the past week alone, s/o to all the zappers – or I could move my business to Switzerland, where I can exchange up to 1000 CHF per day KYC-free (for now), which is what I’m going to do.

However, since I’ll be more heavily relying on peer-to-peer exchanges from now on, I’ll likely have my bank account flagged for receiving weekly payments from randos on the internet, making it fairly foreseeable that I’ll be losing my bank account in the coming months as well.

Fundamental rights violations aside, the amount of complete nonsense work – and with that costs – this system creates both for the Government and private institutions is absolutely astonishing. If there ever was a true bullshit job, compliance officer would no doubt be it.

It’s time we end the global discrimination complex inherent to the financial system in which we are all guilty until proven innocent, only to upkeep an inefficient system that is useless in preventing crime but formidable for imposing mass surveillance on the people.

So no, I will not "kindly assist you" in surveilling me, and if I die on this hill.

Until then, shill me your favorite tools to pay my bills in bitcoin 👇

you can p2p into usdt and then sell that through exchange. kind of like a proxy between real money and kyc dictatorship money.

but in general, until bitcoin is accepted directly, we will have to deal with this bs, and find workarounds which exist in every situation. having one kyc'ed address with provable source of funds solves many problems - they already know your identity anyway if you are buying fiat, so just show them something they can be happy with.

they did too much too soon without educating the public first - same as alpaca socks for bitcoin in 2012, it was more of a gimmick. bitcoin will be eventually accepted by necessity, not by government decree.

they def work. been using data+ exclusively while traveling, no issues at all. try support?

I don’t even try to talk to normies about bitcoin unless they inquire. massmedia and shitcoins did a good job of painting it with dirt, so that people just ignore it alltogether.

very few wake up from this haze and ask questions, these ones we should help. it is really a lot like matrix. most are so deep in it they will fight to protect their slavery.

at this point I’ve lost hope, two attempts left. I was sure I remembered PIN on this trezor from years ago but alas.

now will need to recover seed from another country and restore. can’t imagine what I’d be going through if I didn’t have or had lost the seed. do check your trezors every now and then! because I suspect the pin code just changed, I 100% remember it and have used it dozens of time with it, but no combination in 14 tries worked. bummer.

Whoever mines this next block is going to be rich rich. 180 billion bitcoin in fees! Awesome. h/t @mempool.space

I heard its not even twitter anymore. But idk, removed that garbage.

need to find a local lawyer who knows where to send brown bags to. there's nothing money can't fix in corrupt countries.

they will come eventually. free speach means all kinds of outcasts, including the deranged ones.

so is nostr+walletconnect urls generated only by Alby now?
