Same. I really gave it a chance but had repeated closures without me even transacting.
In the last force-closurez I couldn't even recover the funds, everything showed 0 balance. I accept that I lost 100k sats on this experiment.
I download the tarballs locally on my laptop, compute checksums into manifest file and gpg sign the manifest file. Then I upload the manifest and signature asc file to the release.

No way I would give github my pgp key lol.
who is going to https://btcplusplus.dev ? made the last minute decision to get further ark and txhash-pilled
Legit ark question: aren't ASPs more susceptible to centralization and thus state attacks due to the liquidity requirements?
I'm legit asking, how do you nostr sign release binaries? Is there a tool for that?
To be clear: even though my notes may sound defeatist, I'm not throwing in the towel.
In a war it's important to understand how much they are hurting you and not brush it off.
Pessimism breeds strength and resistance. Always expect the worst and prepare for it accordingly.
Not canceled, but if they bother me, are noisy and don't contribute much, I don't feel like I have to put up with it.
I see nostr as just social pgp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's why onions should provide pgp signatures and many do.
In practice it works the same as nostr signing.
The same one depicting Coldcard and Open Source
I didn't claim to have a suggestion, I don't like the habit of overpromising.
If and when cashu mints / fedimint / liquid get any adoption, they would immediately get shut down.
It doesn't matter how easy it is to setup a mint. No one is running a public mint with the looming threat of jail.
These custodial things exist this far for the sole reason they have a negligible volume.
I don't see any push for private LSPs. Who is running a private LSP?
I advise you to remove it from Obtainium, stop pinging the FBI with your IP.
Didn't know that, I personally only know your nym.
You can always go full John McAfee and move to a hut in a banana republic or in a boat in international waters 😅
I thought LSPs were the way to go? 🤭
Tomorrow in justice-dot-gov: "Evan Kaloudis indicted by the DoJ for facilitating money laundering and operating an unregistered MSB"
If you want an example of a wallet that whose distribution is really censorship resistant and could withstand a full force State attack, look at mysu: a monero wallet that is ONLY distributed via a Tor onion link or i2p torrent.
You don't have to like monero, but you can take a page out of their playbook and admire the lengths they go in their fight.

If all we have is NgU, we don't have much and are incredibly fragile.
