The tyranny machine does not stop
I urge the people of Missouri to support Senator Josh Hawley. The irony-challenged publishing gatekeepers at Simon & Schuster have decided to punish Senator Hawley for his attention to election integrity, via their cancellation of this book, which had been scheduled for release in June 2021:
No doubt, that is only the first such reprisal in store. Missourians, Senator Hawley acted with a moral courage rarely seen in the U.S. Federalden of thieves and liars “legislature”. Don’t let him down!
As of today, Trump effectually conceded on Twitter (a fitting end for him). —Or at least, he “otherwise indicated acceptance” of the election results. I have therefore sent 0.01 BTC to the NCLA in txid 40fca7f95058864b1457fb8f626fd02a97aba7f502386ad30f7ca184f5ee81c4.
I may follow up with some brief political commentary later, if time permits.
To connect the blockchain transaction to this bet, I embedded the reference code from my bet commitment in an OP_RETURN. Unfortunately, I was experimenting live with some new code; and I inadvertently encoded the script opcodes twice. There is therefore an extra 6a20 prepended.
I feel embarrassed to send from a non-Segwit address. As of today, if you use a non-Segwit wallet, you look like a n00b who does not know how to choose the right wallet! However, due to my intent to expose the blockchain data from this transaction, I decided to use an address from ChipMixer. The address was obtained using ChipMixer voucher codes that I set aside for this potential purpose in November. I always keep a moderate amount of money in Chip vouchers, just in case I need to do something bad for my privacy. The money for these vouchers may have been deposited by me anytime in about the past three or four years; thus, any blockchain observer who identifies Chip inputs will not find it feasible to guess which were mine.
I have been away since mid-December, and my time for the forum is now negligible. My apologies to those who have sent me PMs and e-mails, which I have just now found. I will reply to you soon.

The Tyranny of Big Tech
By Josh Hawley
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley argues that big tech companies—Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple—represent the gravest threat to American liberty since the monopolies of the Gilded Age, and proposes a democratic, hopeful path forward.

Otherwise, the loser of the bet shall pay it promptly after the election results are announced, and the losing candidate concedes or otherwise indicates acceptance thereof.
