People improve through making mistakes. Free people make their mistakes faster. Nostrich since 761114.

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.

get me the fuck off this track ✊

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.

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.

lol. not saying this about everyone, love my bitcoin fam, but it needs to be said that the 'toxic btc cult' reputation seems well earned for more than a few of you.

it's generally the one's who just parrot blanket 'btc is the saviour, everything else is a shitcoin' statements, don't speak with their own words, link to sources they don't really comprehend, think nostr is private, only recently learned why they need a vpn on the internet and don't actually understand how all this privacy stuff works.

harsh? yes. so have recent comments been. bring it. love the free speech.

again this is not for most of you #plebchain. most of you have level heads and still love bitcoin. i am an avid bitcoiner, but i don't drink the cool-aid and ignore it's shortcomings.

bitcoin is about freedom. privacy is essential for freedom. it is complicated to have privacy on a public ledger. bitcoin is an awesome store of value, but it needs a 2nd layer for greater privacy and to solve the fungibility problem. lightning is maturing. cashu is also maturing. monero solves the spend issue now with privacy baked in on a protocol level. it is currency. it's meant to be spent.
