#Bitcoin is not anonymous, but pseudonymous and
chain analysis is very advanced. So for law enforcement entities far from impossible to catch you.
some classic music
Depends on your wife 😅
What do you need it for anyway, I mean, what is your personal usecase?
I consider everything proprietary as comprimised.
"Secure" and "not open source" is a contradiction.
As "secure" as proprietary #Apple OS spyware.
Probably if you pay much attention on how you sound yourself.
Men tend to talk deeper or stronger, women tend to lift the pitch, according to my experiences.
Well...WoS is custodial, so "not your keys - not your coins".
I learned it the hard way from another custodal wallet I had my coins on and got rugpulled a few months ago.
So custodial for very small amounts only.
They also almost all require a KYC-like user identification.
Using them anonymously is usually not possible.
(Or maybe somebody has a solution for that? #asknostr )
Own nodes on the other hand can be tricky too, and the costs and stress are underestimated by most people:
- on chain fees for channel opening and closing,
- buying inbound liquidity,
- making backups of your channels,
- potential force closing by whom you had the channel opened with
I myself have not found the perfect solution yet...
I think it's not that easy to stay anonymous on Bitcoin, you'd need your own node, lightning channels or mix services...
So if you do illegal stuff, you need to technically be pretty skilled, have patience in learning and some start capital.
I don't think that's applicable to the average little dealer AND consumer.
Can we croudfund this please?😂
Yeah, so easy😂
Very hard to find someone trustworthy
So what's the problem?
Maybe at first, but I think people can get used to it quickly
If I just had a decent amd secure desktop client for #Nostr . Got some recommendations like #gossip, but they are still kinda beta or not yet well established. Also need to run them over Tor...
#asknostr
pretty addictive, and I just dropped many centralized social networks. So where else to go but here?
😅
Lots of problems with custodial Lightning Wallets atm...
more or less, I use it in Nextcloud notes, I got used to it.
