Just had a long conversation with the lawyers working on this case.

tl;dr: the US govt is using shoddy Chainalysis data to accuse some dude of running the bitcoinfog mixer. It's a bullshit claim supported by terrible evidence. Chainalysis has staked their reputation on this case; if these guys win against the US govt, it'll do enormous damage to Chainalysis as a business.

I gave them $100 (with lightning!). You should donate too. Lawyers deserve to get paid to fight important cases.

They offered to pay travel expenses for a talk in a city I needed to go to anyway. :)

You know you're at a Monero conference when... the food and drinks are free because paying with Monero takes way longer than Lightning. 😁😁😁

Your anonymity set is better if you hold privacy coins for longer. You need other people after you to make transactions. Either in general for Zcash. Or including your coins in their rings in the case of Monero.

No it's not.

Ironically, in places of extreme gravitational fields, the law doesn't apply because bullshit that enters a black hole can never escape and thus needs no debunking.

(assuming the no-hair theorem of black holes is in fact true)

Yes I do. It's an interesting method. Though obviously easy to game by the poll creator.

Actually I'm talking about the historical transactions display. Visible by pulling up from th bottom of the main screen.
