BOOM: President Trump just said he’ll look into a pardon for Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet. (He should also pardon Bill).

This should viewed as a window of opportunity, not a win. For the win, the community must now ramp up all efforts, while the iron is hot. We need to find out who this reporter is and what organization he's with. Emailing the organization, expressing sincere gratitude, and providing one or two sentences of powerful rhetoric (that they could adopt for the next opportunity) will have exponentially more impact than signing the petition (which should also be done). We need that give that guy some encouragement and weapons-grade rhetorical ammo.
It's about maintaining important precedents - protecting free speech, free code, and due process. The personal character of the software authors is not the fundamental principle in this case.

The US government is the largest group of money laundering crooks to exist to date. Its unwise to brag to people with guns.. but the crooks are the guilty party. They did not infringe on people or property, so yeah, pardon the fuck out of them.

Allowing open source software devs to rot in prison because trump is gross is not a good look.

They made open source software to enable private use of Bitcoin. You are a tool.
You’re either a troll or are willfully ignoring how much bullshit he has done already. It wouldn’t be his first time FFS πŸ™ˆ

In this case the character of the devs is solid. This clown has no idea what he is talking about.

He's not going to. That's because the Roman Catholic Church would murder him for that. If he does, expect him to be disappeared. That's a dooming opinion. If he doesn't pass, it's likely meaning that Trump blackmailed Keonne and/or Bill into giving into his demands.
The judicial system is so rotten that it takes a presidential favor to get innocent people out. Getting rare justice by decree does not equate to liking the war criminal.
