I believe that anything that is not voluntary is coercion. This makes me a voluntaryist in earthly terms and an alien on Earth, where coercion is normalized. #Monero: 86VSR7QowFkiqxsvZrW9w6B1WLtCBpQEgjFVWW1sCyHE14ivHXfZoAeQWpGn5EKbcs4Z3sV5T2Vfie5bY5pSykg97vJXpRA

This clip loops in my head every time a centralized entity wants your selfie-with-ID "for your safety" or a state wants digital ID "for your convenience." Made before LLMs. Now it'll play in yours too. Every. Single. Time. 😵‍💫

On August 8, 2013, Lavabit (the encrypted email service used by Snowden) was ordered by the U.S. gov't to hand over its TLS private keys to spy on his communications. Founder Ladar Levison refused. He shut down the service rather than betray his users. One of the very few who chose principles over survival. To every privacy project founder today: Are you ready to be the next Ladar Levison? image

I've been mostly absent online lately and I'm sorry, I know it made some of you worry. A very good person passed away. I'll be back to normal when I can.

🚨BasicSwapDEX exploited. Losses of 0.66 BTC ($42k) confirmed so far (h/t @OrangeFren.com ). New BasicSwapDEX release (v0.17.2) is out with fix, update asap: it fixes the swap security issue, updating to 0.17.2 before you resume any swaps is MANDATORY.

Listened to the Open Markets podcast #11 (https://openmarkets.pub/). They discussed XmrBazaar, and it's clear the idea is ripe: many people are independently arriving at the same conclusion around decentralization + Monero circular economy: - I wrote about it about a month ago: - SlowBearDigger has it on the roadmap: - LukeProfits is already working on something similar: The key missing piece is multisig/non-custodial escrow. In a privacy-preserving system without KYC and/or IP logging, you absolutely can not operate without mandatory (not optional!) multisig/non-custodial escrow and/or bonds by default. Any voluntary privacy-focused market that can't rely on traditional law enforcement (unlike Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist) tends to attract a disproportionate number of scammers and worse (see this depressing thread: https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/51/) There are already promising approaches for better Monero multisig / escrowed markets that are worth looking at: 1. spirobel's Serai-powered Monero multisig escrow with offline arbitrators: 2. The existing tool by MoneroMultisig: (rbrunner (Monero dev) has spoken well of it, I haven't tried it myself yet) 3. Koe's (Monero dev) talk "Seamless Escrowed Markets with Monero Multisig" from MoneroKon 2023: *This post is my attempt to gather the main ongoing efforts in this direction in one place. image View quoted note →

Friday night into Saturday again, known as the best time to pull shady stuff, both in politics and online (same time as XmrBazaar's 5 sudden abuse reports to its VPS provider): suddenly dozens of retweets in minutes from fresh accounts. We all know what that triggers: platform manipulation / inauthentic behavior suspension (been there, heh https://aillia.substack.com/p/a-confession-of-an-inauthentic-human). Feeling sorry for anyone who can't sleep because some little account is still alive. Locked my Twitter for now. Take a break and go to sleep, little busy bee… View quoted note →
