 I did not want to make wood of fallen tree, but the truth that touches my balls by the number of people who have fallen for the lie of these subnormals.

- You made shit about nostr and the fbi ended up using your twitter DMs against you, just glorious, with Nostr it wouldn't have happened.
- Sold privacy and surely the fbi has ended up with a lot of xpub from users.
- They put on bullshit masks when their info was public.

But what the fuck.

 'You made shit about nostr and the fbi ended up using your twitter DMs against you, just glorious, with Nostr it wouldn't have happened."

Why wouldn't it happened with nostr? Notes are public.

Now that the FBI has seized the servers, we should assume they have conjoins history.

Covering your face when going to conferences won't prevent law enforcement from finding out your real identity. Opsec theater. 
 What the FBI has used against them are dm's, in Nostr the only way to decrypt dm's between two people is to have one of the private keys, in the case of twitter simply show up at their offices. 
 Good post. thank you 
 I’ve listened to a few Tom Luongo podcasts where he is developing a hypothesis that the Brits may be behind a lot of our geopolitical problems (and potentially carrying more weight of control over the US than the US itself). He admits that he can’t know this for sure. This post makes me wonder (naively bc I don’t know the real history of Samourai) whether some cryptocurrency technologies have been created by nation states and/or intel agencies for the very moment that we’re going through.
