Anyone know if she’s on Nostr?
Roman got a girlfriend this cycle. Good for her being out there alone.

She looks to be from the EFF, and she has a Mastadon account.
We need a bridge.
Where can I zap her?
QR code
I haven’t tested
Oh shit I didn’t even notice! Thank you
Really? Seems like the crypto world has lost the plot.
maybe cuz the ppl who care about this stuff are actually working right now
Escrever um código.
É escrever um sistema.
E o sistema não gosta de concorrência.
Good for her!
Where is this?
Desperately seeking.... more Shadowy Supercoders! 😬

Coin mixing is used primarily to spam the blockchain, obscure stolen funds, or enable morally reprehensible and illegal activity. You can argue it’s for “privacy” but yeah, it’s mostly used for that right now.
Keep writing ✍️ the good fight 🗡️
Yeah are you trying to defend coin mixing? Do you think that shit is actually helping people right now or hurting them?
Is the first part of your response a statement or a question?
What do you think James?
I think you’re trying to defend it. I think you’re trying to justify it ideologically without looking at how it’s mostly used and what it enables.
Cool story 👍🏽
>>> Protest for you rights! Draw signs! Yell at the Government!
A rather naive understanding of the current state of things in this world.
Stealing it and using tornado cash to hide it sure is.
You are telling the story big horse 👍🏽

Cuck

Not sure what you mean
If you had funds "stolen" then you probably weren't holding your own keys, so they werent yours to begin with.
Not necessarily. Blackmail, extortion, social engineering scams, scam key generators, trojans and compromised devices, physically or digitally stolen wallets or seed phrases.
As a percentage, thats less than people losing their custodial funds. So by your own logic, its only for "stealing" custodial funds
Also tc case has nothing to do with stealing funds, its about developers. Do you think that the maker or an ar15 should be accountable for someone shooting up a school with it?
If you think that os a good analogy then you clearly have no idea how tornado cash works.
If you think tornado cash is an AR 15, you also have no idea how it works. So like, where in tornado cash has physical bullets, a barrel, a stock, a chamber, a trigger?
My example is specific. Obfuscating stolen funds. Using whatever means available to do it.
More often than not, I just see the same tired arguments over and over. People stretch logic when it suits them and ignore common sense when it doesn’t.
The result we have is millions of people have been BURNED by bitcoin thanks to funds obfuscation. The victims don’t care what technically happened to achieve funds obfuscation, they care they were defrauded. Don’t expect them to get “orange pilled” anytime soon when word on the street is you have a chance of ruining your life by touching it.
Your analogy is shitty bc tc is a tool, not a company. The software was released and isnt controlable. The same way how and ar 15 or a hammer isnt meant to be used to murder people, it can be used to do that thing, and its not up to the manufacturer to control what a user does with it.
Also, code is speech.
If someone writes code to hack a nuclear power plant and causes it to meltdown, is that speech too?
Hacking a nuclear power plant is a violation of private property rights and a crime itself.
Code allowing people to transact privately, isn't inherently a crime.
I’m talking about the person who wrote the code to meltdown the reactor. Not the person who executed the code. Is that speech yes or no.
In order to write that code you would have to commit other crimes, like theft, fraud, trespassing, etc.
Not at all. You’re not answering the question because you know your argument doesn’t hold water.
Then explain how ypu would write code to do such a thing without violating the law. The code itself would be speech, but would put you in jail because it would be the confession of a crime(s).
The control system code for the cooling system is posted online.
Clearly this is a straw man from your answer, but yes, then that code is free speech, bc its a QA test case.
Yup. There is no crime unless there is a victim. 'Concealing stolen funds' has no victims, the theft is the crime, softwwre allowing people to privately transact is not a crime.
The victims of stolen funds are the people who had their funds stolen. That is who the victim is. Coin mixers don’t “allow people to transact,” they hide stolen funds. That is what it is used for.
If you create code to meltdown a nuclear reactor or kill people in cars, you’re responsible to the victims. If you create money laundering software, you’re responsible to the victims.
If you think you’re getting off on a technicality, wait for the pitchforks. You’re a human in meatspace and not immune to consequences doled out by enraged victims and their families. If you don’t want the state to do it in a civil fashion on their behalf, just wait and see.
Swear to god you guys are complete morons.
Their a victim of theft. There is no victim after the initial crime. Imagine someone stole cash from you and then paid for their groceries with it. The grocery store isnt committing a crime bc they accept cash.
Tornado Cash allows people transaction privately. That's why it exists.
It is primarily used to conceal stolen funds.
Got proof?
Code cuck
Exactly
