 Courts look favorably upon people who all along were taking steps to be within the law. So even if the speculation in it was wrong, it would likely have a big impact on any legal outcome.

I don't think nostr can be successfully construed as a money transfer system. I won't code for this thing and then hopefully I'll be just as liable as the company that made the disk drive that hosted the piece of data but had zero intention of facilitating money transfer... that is, not liable.

 A judge's first loyalty is to her social life; her second to her family's prosperity. The law after that, if she's the idealistic type.

A top-tier law firm's senior partner's advice won't be contradicted if it can be reasonably avoided - that WILL harm a judge's social life.

I can't afford that sort of legal advice on a political hot-button topic like this. I'm not even sure Jack could.

Don't code this thing anywhere near your real name and assets. If nostriches get mad, tell them to start a legal fund.
