I wonder exactly what he means by "the clock is ticking"

Snowden is referring to the default coinjoin coordinator of Wasabi Wallet shutting down. dkbit98 cropped this information out of the screenshot:

Why did you crop the context out of the screenshot? Snowden's post is about Wasabi Wallet's default coordinator:



This isn't as hopeless as he originally thought. Anyone can run a WabiSabi coinjoin coordinator because the code is open source. I run one myself, all you have to do to connect to it is add this line to your Wasabi config file:

Code:
"MainNetCoordinatorUri": "https://btcpay.kruw.io/plugins/wabisabi-coordinator/",



Thank you for the context, I understand now lol. I think that ultimately privacy is very important and people will go to great lengths to get it, even using mixers to help guise their funds and paying a premium to do so. I’ll be interested to tune into the Bitcoin conference in Nashville where apparently Snowden is going to be attending and speaking. Which I don’t know how he will do that isn’t he not able to step foot in US soil after the NSA whistleblow ?
