The correct response would be all of us triggering SARs with useless information on purpose, so they see that their tactics don’t work again us.

WOW completely insane response to even suggest..!!

if you think you should get every user to give themselves headaches by using fake ID, that will just get them into even more trouble.
yep that is a criminal offense using a FAKE ID
Nah something legal, simple and funny, like if a large amount of customers kept depositing and withdrawing small sums from privacy tools for example. This is about privacy and not becoming criminals, it would be funny if they had to report a lot of their customers, because it would show how broken the process is and that it isnt feasible to suspect everyone a criminal for wanting privacy. If they get bombarded with SARs of non-criminal users they might consider removing some bs triggers off that list, if they dont want it to become unusable.


the actual solution is much much much more simple, and its legal and it keeps you off a SAR

stop calling and advertising a certain feature as a "mixer"
much like uber doesnt call itself a taxicab company to avoid taxicab regulations

start creating and using something called.. for instance "property rights protection tool"
where the function is similar to what you want. but where its protected by actual property rights laws by describing it as being related to property rights, instead of privacy
Its not a bad idea, but im not sure if they would let it count in practice and if so for how long. Also how would it get past chainanalysis? For this the type of your business doesnt matter, theyre analysing transactions. In the end they dont have any incentive to create fair rules for Bitcoin, so sooner or later we will get put trough more and more absurdities and will have to face it at some point.


however privacy laws are modern and dont apply to economics. so trying to hit your head against a hard rock trying to scream for financial privacy is a weak defence.
If peopler never fought for their rights, we wouldnt have any. More and more surveillance is bad economically and doesnt prevent criminality, the reasons for it are actually based on weak defences.
