What does this have for the possibility of allowing mixers campaign on this forum again?
Tornado cash is a decentralized mixer which should be known as coinjoin. But I noticed theymos is calling centralized mixers as mixers while calling decentralized mixers as coinjoin when he banned centralized mixers signature campaign on this forum.
Theymos posted this:
For the mixer policy to be reversed, the legal environment would have to improve a lot. I think that one of these would have to happen:
- Some mixers win their court cases.
- Congress passes laws which explicitly protect mixers.
- The administration ends up being extremely pro-privacy, better than 99% of politicians in office.
The question I want to ask is that are decentralized mixers among. I mean in the court case. Tornado cash is not for bitcoin but at least it is still a mixer but decentralized. Or theymos is referring to only centralized mixers?
Thanks for creating a thread on this, and mentioning theymos latest update on this as well, I was totally unaware of the post made by Theymos I guess I have to put a tracker on him too hehe, speaking of tornado lawsuit it is a good news I was not aware of it too, although I was expecting Trump will ease things for mixers and privacy-related tools. But did have idea that they will overturn Tornado case.
This is a big news for mixer and Theymos saw it coming as he already knew some mixer win their cases too accurate did he have any btc predictions as well hehe. I also had the same question since Trump won, but waiting for the updates, glady something came up, I think it is possible for mixtures and as theymos said before making some move, he will wait for 1 year more to see how things move. I hope things would go smooth.
