No.
Samourai did nothing wrong.
Building a tool that criminals also use (~5%) does not make the tool or the builder criminal
Neither does publically or privately acknowledging criminal usage.
#freesamourai
excuse me but fuck no.
acknowledging that customers participate in the black/grey markets doesn't make anyone a criminal.
even those customers.
building a product *that criminals also use* is just building a good product. acknowledging that criminals use it doesn't make building the thing a crime.
also, "premium addons" for high net worth individuals doesn't constitute charging more to launder the proceeds from criminal acts.
the DOJ has a flimsy case. that's why they are prosecuting for conspiracy instead of operating an unlicensed money transmitter.
no unfortunate precedent if they lose.
this is an intimidation tactic.
de facto legislation through lack of clarity and indictment.
EVERYONE who cares about overreach should care about this case. These people are freedom fighters and they deserve the total support of the open source community and the greater citizenry.
they did NOTHING wrong.
I do not really nostr:npub1qvnt2lsy9cyf9qu6m3ehs35f6jzmllfgtgwuel5uttdd53u6r4xqpuvrgg has a pod apparently that I've been meaning to check out.
you heard that bs on Monero Talk I assume?
literally zero information available
just sexy pr materials so far
yeah
it's actually worse than if they had just not made a long video at all lol
fluff pieces are a turnoff
literally *just checked out the preorder site (the only thing available on their homepage)
you can give them $100 (supposedly refundable). PayPal or CC only.
no mention of the total price at all.
zero other information available.
pretty suspect.
but I gave them an email. so here's hoping.
90% of users come in through KYCed onramps
Whirlpool coordinator is offline
and maxis tell you "just learn how to use bitcoin"
smdh
disingenuous.
"learning" monero is a simple as installing a wallet and spending.
meanwhile on bitcoin
the "whole other system" needed to transact privately was confiscated in Iceland
and there are NO good alternatives.
so "just learn to use bitcoin" is either a disingenuous argument,
or you don't know how to use bitcoin anyway.
soo jealous 😍
what? that's a thing that exists? 💥
everyone's on Archetype poser
read the fucking dread forums
just another saylor fanboi shooting his fucking mouth off
while buying shit with his CC on Amazon
congrats on being what's wrong with bitcoin
this is just "waaah, WHM took an hour to process my deposit 😢"
it isn't the monero chain dipshit
buy some pemmican bars from eataupa.com
or anyone running a proper BTCPayserver
its 0-conf and takes seconds
This is just bullshit
Monero has 2 minute blocks.
Can you be any more obvious that you don't know what the fuck you are talking about?
We established years ago you are out of your league as regards coinjoin and monero.
Stick to worms.
who is saying this?
I've literally never heard anyone say this.
like, ever.
