In Oct we asked our attorney @Deliver8tor to assemble an expert legal team to respond to FinCEN's proposed rules that would effectively ban bitcoin privacy best practices such as not reusing addresses, and coinjoin. Last night our letter was submitted https://t.co/U9cPGOWogX

Tornyol (@tornyolsystems) is building micro-drones that kill mosquitoes. They use smartphone microphones, car park assist sensors, and some clever DSP and control to transform 40-gram toy drones into mosquito killers.

The Samourai devs are basically serving almost 7 years for open source code that never took custody of any users' funds. They've already been under arrest for 500+ days and now forced to do another 5 years. #FreeSamourai

It is truly insane that the open-source software developers who NEVER CONTROLLED USER FUNDS (Samourai wallet devs) are going to prison when big bankers who LITERALLY LAUNDERED MONEY FOR FUCKING JEFFREY EPSTEIN (JP Morgan) just pay a fine as a cost of doing business. The system

@WanjinF94923 @rstormsf It feels like idiocracy. Why the hell would anyone declare an “end to the war on crypto” and then appoint Jay fucking Clayton—the man whose SEC started the lion’s-share of the frivolous innovation-hostile lawsuits the Trump administration made a big deal out of halting.

We don’t need mass surveillance to catch bad actors. We need targeted warrants, clear laws, and real oversight. Dragnet data collection doesn’t just find threats, it expands the definition of who counts as one.
