Holy shit, have y'all seen Sánchez's Davos speech? Man really got up there and proposed making anonymity illegal on social media. Not just "we need better moderation" - straight up "one government ID, one account" dystopian nonsense.

Like yeah, misinformation and bots are problems. But his solution? Force everyone to link their social accounts to an "European Digital Identity Wallet." Want to keep your work life separate from your shitposting? Too bad, that's illegal now. Need anonymity because you're LGBT+ in a conservative area? Get fucked, government needs your papers. He claims it’ll only be platforms which see the real id, but we know no systems are secure. And it makes decentralized networks illegal too!

But wait, it gets better! He also wants to make platform CEOs personally liable when users break "laws and norms." THE NORMS. Not just illegal content - the fucking NORMS. It's like throwing Verizon's CEO in jail because someone planned a crime over the phone.

The only way ANY platform could operate under these rules would be to completely block European users. Twitter, Reddit, Discord - boom, gone. Or they become heavily censored government-ID-required wastelands.

And the real kicker? He buried some actually decent ideas about algorithmic transparency in between these two absolute nightmares. Like yeah, we should know how these platforms decide what content to promote. But holy hell, way to poison the well by sandwiching it between "papers please" and "jail CEOs for bad vibes."

i recognize since you are proxy'ing hashrate from specific miners this might not be possible, but then again for multi-machine rentals. ..🤷‍♂️

nostr:npub1t6el40knsq8hmrpr0m6tt3t0tr4pdeyhlt2qelwhgtwawddqx0xsv03scu a few suggestions:

1. it would be nice to be able to toggle all bid amounts viewed into sats/TH. right now you gotta look at the hash.amt, look at the total bid, then do the math. giving the user the ability to toggle so its consistent for how they wanna see it would be better, imo.

2. this is maybe more a question or musing, but it would be cool if eventually users could re-sell contracts they bought, even in real time kinda like an options market. for example if i buy 2 petahash for 30 days scheduled to start in May and i bought today, if hash price skyrockets between now and delivery start, and i have a chance to off load that contract via rigly at a profit, that would be cool. OR, if current receiving hashrate for an order, if hashrate slyrocketed during delivery, i could sell the pro-rated remaining delivery of the contract. this could all be facilitated by rigly, which yall could earn more fees for escrowing the secondary market contract. i imagine yall already thinking about that for the future but throwing it out there 🤙

So the Trump's 'crypto* EO is out, and I'm seeing lots of weak bitches cry that its a shitcoin reserve.

Given the fact that the proposed digital assets stockpile would possibly be built on *seized* coins, let me give you a quick introduction to forfeiture law, and why crying for daddy to please please make its pile of flying horseshit "bitcoin only" *literally* the most retarded thing you could be wishing for, ever.

Forfeiture law – or civil asset forfeiture, to be precise – is this fun little game the government plays in which it does not have to accuse you of a crime to confiscate your property.

Instead of accusing you of a crime, the Government claims that the asset itself has facilitated a crime, and can therefore be seized by the Government.

In civil asset forfeiture, there is no innocent until proven guilty. To get your property back, *you* have to prove that the Government is wrong – which turns out pretty complicated seeing how its impossible to prove a negative.

Civil asset forfeiture results in cases that are not filed against a person, but filed against the property itself. This results in fun little cases like US vs. Binance Account XYZ, or US vs. 123 Wilmington Drive.

To extend this idea to Bitcoin, in a civil forfeiture case, the US Government is in theory able to seize *any bitcoin* that has *ever* come out of a criminal transaction.

Made some bitcoin for selling a service? Bought some bitcoin on a P2P exchange? Unless you checked that the UTXO you received has never touched a criminal transaction in its entire history, your coins can be confiscated, and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.

As Cato Institute points out in its piece on civil forfeiture reform, forfeiture law is routinely misused to enrich the Government – Philadelphia, for example, has seized over 1000 homes, over 3000 vehicles, and over $44M in cash over an 11 year period. In 2010, the city tried to seize *an entire fucking house* because a woman's grandson sold less than $200 of weed out of the basement.

If you think that taxes are bad, civil asset forfeiture is straight up evil.

It doesn't matter whether you participated in a crime. It doesn't matter whether you know that someone else participated in a crime. If it involved your property, even if said property was fully legally acquired, the Government will come and take it.

Civil asset forfeiture is the most insane Government funding technique that is out there, and you most definitely do not want this declared as a strategic means to pump the Government's bitcoin bags.

You are *literally* asking the Government to steal your coins with a practice that *every* libertarian advocate wants to see abolished.

Ross Ulbricht was not just robbed of over a decade of his life – he was smeared by the US Government as a human being.

While this corner of the internet celebrates his freedom, others are asking why on earth would we would defend an attempted murderer.

I wrote about the murder-for-hire charges against Ross for nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3samnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvekhgtnhd9azucnf0ghsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekkjmr0w5hxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd46hg6tw09mkzmrvv46zucm0d5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyhsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgunpw35jucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehhyctwvajhq6tvdshxgetk9uq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kz7qpqt8a7uumfmam38kal4xaakzyjccht4y5jxfs4cmlj0p768pxtwu8sxfw22j – let this be your reminder that:

1️⃣ The agents who investigated Ross, who posed as hitmen and faked Ross' colleague's death, were sentenced to years in prison for corruption, stealing and trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from Ross

2️⃣ Both agents had administrative access to the site

3️⃣ According to the Department of Homeland Security, former site administrators, and people with personal contact to Ross, DPR was more than one person

4️⃣ DPR logged into his account while Ross was in prison

5️⃣ All murder-for-hire charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they could never be filed again

For all we know, we are all Dread Pirate Roberts 🕊️
