HE WAS NOT ARRESTED FOR "JUST" WRITING CODE
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR... "involvement in concealing criminal financial flows and facilitating money laundering"
I was gone for 2 weeks and still the same exact bs, you deserve the medal of cognitive dissonance and a better leash from the state after your service. Good boy franky.

By the governments logic, someone who builds bombs and kills people for them is a hero, and someone who writes tools to protect privacy against a more and more overreaching state is someone who assists crimes and should be jailed. Following this logic leads to nowhere in the end.

Criminals can use any service or tool, builders shouldn’t be responsible for their userbase, otherwise by this logic we would have to start jailing large parts of companies, because criminals use their products to facilitate crimes too. Why don’t they go after their ISPs now? This whole logic is simply complete bs and just applying it to specific scenarios doesn’t make it just. Mixing itself is not a crime, so it’s just people that gave up their principles of what’s really right, for a jungle of useless laws that have no touch to reality anymore, who would want mixer devs jailed or think it’s right to do this.

These tools aren’t made for criminals, they get caught with or without them. Otherwise we wouldn’t even know that a minority is using them. It proves that privacy doesn’t interfere with the abilities of law enforcement to a meaningful amount. There is enough other traces, so that it doesn’t matter if a mixer was used or not. It is the use of privacy itself that is being criminalised slowly, in a context where the government would like to archive every single penny you’ve ever spent, where it actually has a negative economic + societal impact when a braindead entity gets too many capabilities over their citizens. So either we bow down to some nonsense bureaucrats are trying to introduce again, or we actually stick to principles that we know are right and push back against it. That is actually our constitutional right to do, if people woke up and actually used it. Your call for people to follow the false roads the same entity that doesn’t even have the guts to calculate inflation correctly is trying to lead us to, will simply lead to negative outcomes for everyone. Comply for tyranny and broken economies/ societies?

im not going to spoon feed you swamp stirrers. i gave you all the hints i pointed you in the right direction of what to avoid and what to be aware of. if you cant then realise that you need to do something and it requires effort and thought and actually doing something beyond silly name changing.. . thats on you

work it out. think for once. or just continue your silly games
So it’s nothing more than an unproven idea that you don’t know yourself how to implement, and when property rights wouldn’t protect privacy you would still not change your opinion. It’s too predictable.


you want to say he was arrested for just writing code. because it sets your agenda that writing code for bitcoin is illegal(your agenda of saying bitcoin is bad, doesnt work, not fit, and any dev is at risk of arrest if they do anything for bitcoin)

Still the same fears of a hidden agenda and putting words into peoples mouth they’ve never even said or thought. Paranoia and projection.
