LOL - So after sitting on the plane waiting for a bus transfer for 15 minutes and thinking it was probably all over, I sprinted the whole way through the airport, got through passport control in record time and the second I get to my gate there is an announcement that the plane has a problem and we have an ‘undefined delay’

🤣

The airport is huge too, so you just know my connecting flight gate is gonna be the other side of the airport

GM Folks.

50 min changeover in Amsterdam later today. Please send thoughts and prayers that I make my connecting flight.

Turns out there was a non-default blossom server set. Don’t think I’ve ever touched it, but after tapping restore default it works fine. Apologies for false alarm!

I should do really, but consider my laziness a contribution to being committed to helping Primal fix a bug 😏

After weeks like this, I’ve never been more thankful for the existing Freedom Tech in my life.

If you’re a builder, I salute you. 🫡

We are taxing sugary drinks and alcohol. It’s for your health.

We need you to provide ID to read X and Reddit. It’s to protect the children.

Get the experimental jab. It’s to protect Grandma.

We need a selfie video to buy some bitcoin. It’s to stop theft.

Same old playbook.

Brian Armstrong: let's create a DINO social protocol where our users can KYC themselves and then dump their bags on one another and empower creators to dump their bags in their followers.

The new Samourai Wallet indictment truly is a phenomenally disingenuous piece of garbage 👇

https://www.therage.co/samourai-wallet-new-indictment/

Likely filed to reflect that the Government is no longer pursuing federal licensing violations – the new indictment removes all references to “unlicensed,” except one – SDNY seems to have taken the opportunity to make their indictment even more confusing to the judge.

Entire paragraphs are moved around, language is changed, and most importantly, the new indictment seems to make zero distinction between Samourai Wallet the entity and Samourai Wallet the software.

Take these two paragraphs for example, the first from the original indictment, and the second from the new one:

"The cryptocurrency is 'cut down'", and leftover funds "are placed in a separate address and provided back to the Samourai user."

"Samourai 'cut down' the cryptocurrency into correct sizes for a chosen pool," and "Samourai returned back to the user any leftover funds from this transaction that were too small to enter the Whirlpool by replacing them in a separate address.”

So instead of correcting their technical inaccuracies, SDNY chose to double down on them.

Imo, this means that prosecutors either somehow managed to get even more stupid over the past 1.5 years, or that SDNY is intentionally attempting to mislead the judge on how the Samourai Wallet software worked, making it look like the developers had more control over funds than they did in reality.

They call this “justice,” my guys.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a Flint router 😁

#FreedomTechFriday was a lot of fun. See you the same time next week ✌️
