Swan is beyond cucked nostr:note1hgy3sws8jyyn6qex5rugc0t0pvcl7n2p8a4c52jnvmgfwszsatgqtu7rvv

Swan's response this merely *proposed* fincen ruling is about as disappointing and sad as it gets

i get it, they're encouraging you to withdraw from Swan first and wink-wink then you can use whatever privacy tools you want, but still

at some point it becomes hard to support a company like this, one tied up in partnerships and relationships that are so embedded in the system your customers are trying to escape

OK, so you guys showed me McDonald's jacked prices at least 130% on the core budget item: the mcchicken. Mentally recalculating McDs as "literally more than twice as expensive is a doozy, sure but what I really wanna know: did they do any shrinkflation on top of that to really wring out the margin? Smaller patties, cups, fries, cheese or something? Or was it all just pure price action?

When your NIPs are ass

I move my funds on chain to my own lightning node, then send through lightning to a Muun wallet (noKYC), then from Muun I can take it onchain to my non-custodial new address. This makes my funds untraceable, or am I missing something?

Bear in mind I can have hundreds of noKYC Muun wallets.

I will take your word for it. But I still do not like it picking up the picture from the servers. And I definitelly do not like the fake secrecy like masks of the company representatives just for marketing purposes.

I keep seeing this very strange sentiment:

The state is evil. It will use any means of force necessary to get what it wants, including torture and murder. However, I'm ok KYCing my bitcoin so the state can know exactly how much ₿ I hold and what addresses I hold it in.

Honeypot it is. Just shuffle your sats through noKYC lightning wallets like Muun or Wallet of Satoshi. By my brain - should be as good as coinjoin. A bit more manual, more hiding behind Tor, VPN, perhaps no KYC sim card. But result is very much clean utxos, I think.

It doesn't matter if it's open source, you'll never know the code they run on their servers.

They are a company, why won't they comply with the law and wasabi will?

What makes them different?

Joinmarket and joinstr are the only viable solutions because you are the coordinator.

You don't know what code they run on their servers, the only way to mitigate this is to run your own coordinator, joinmarket or joinstr are the right solutions.

Made the mistake of taking the public transit from the airport thinking it would be a special experience with those super fast Japanese trains

It’s not, it’s just a fucking train and a crowded subway 😂

Especially the real ones that reject the upcoming push for Ecumenism
