Proton is awesome. This kind of notice only happens when your email is tied in with "serious crime". If you a suspected of breaking Swiss law, no business is going to jail over a $13 a month user if the the gov gives them a legally binding order to freeze the account.

It's not just Proton...even the most liberal of domain hosts will not go to jail for their users. They can provide a safe harbor for freedom of speech, free press and whistle-blower projects, but when served a legal mandate to shut down a site, they must comply. If you signed up over Tor and paid with an untraceable coin like Monero, your site may be taken down, but they will still not know who the owner is.

This is not a Proton issue. This is a government law issue.

Proton has said time and time again, when forced, they must comply with Swiss law. They have repeatedly stated publicly recovery emails and recovery phone numbers are not e2ee and can be used to identify you. They recommend setting a recovery phrase instead so they will not be able to hand over any identifying information if forced to under Swiss law.

If the OP has truly don't nothing wrong, and practiced good OPSEC, they should be fine. They should be using a free burner account (signed up and accessed only over Tor) for anything that could potentially get an account frozen.

The content of their frozen account is e2ee. If they are suspected of doing illegal stuff under Swiss law and they opted to give a backup email or phone number, paid with their debit card, or enabled the dark web monitoring service, that volunteered information can be used to associate their identify, then that's bad OPSEC.

Proton has been very vocal about this, saying they will comply with government law when forced. Don't give them any data and they will have nothing to hand over.

I agree that all-in-one services can be risky. I also know it depends on your threat model and how they are signed up for and used.

No tool can replace good OPSEC or ultimately save you from bad OPSEC, or a situation like what happened with Skiff.

I use Proton in a compartmentalized way and I recommend it to most of my clients. I use it and recommend it for business domain email as well for most people.

IMO Proton is the best service of its kind out there for most people.

Proton Drive helps people ditch Google drive. That's a huge win for privacy for most people.

Yes, you can run your own server and email but if you don't do and sustain it just right, it can make you far less secure from attack.

Extreme cases call for extreme measures. In those cases, I wouldn't advise putting any data on anyone else's servers, only communicating through SimpleX or Signal, not using any kind of social media at all, wiping the web of any trace of identity, only connecting to the internet from outside the house, never using clearnet, only using Tor, etc etc.

Without sharing my client guide here, the gist is that I recommend Proton be used in a compartmentalized way, with your "official" main front-facing account using your real name and/or personal domain "business" email for official purposes. This is a huge win over using Google for most people.

There are 15 @protonmail.com etc addresses that can be used for forwarding old email (to a pseudonym email) another for purchases, another for banking, an anonymous email with just random numbers for other purposes etc.

One can then use the unlimited simplelogin aliases (they have the ability to send mail from the alias, not just receive...unlike the current built-in proton aliases) to avoid spam/breaches.

It is best in class for these purposes.

You can then sign up with another account for just VPN, another account for your Bitcoin wallet, another account for anonymous email not associated with your identity etc.

Just make sure you sign up for the other free accounts separate from your main account OVER TOR using their onion site and make sure it's a free account.

If you try to pay for an account at sign up you will have to use a debit card initially. If you upgrade from a free account, you can use cash or Bitcoin!

Sign up over Tor on the PROTON PASS page and you don't have to give an emal.

There is an option when doing it this way (on the Proton Pass page to create a free account and they will automatically create an email for you.

Then, upgrade using Bitcoin or cash and there is no worry of "having all your eggs in one basket".


PrivacyTechPro tip: Be careful that your Wi-Fi name does not include sensitive details like your family name etc.

If so, you are just a search away from being doxxed.

Did you know the #Google Maps car also collects and catalogs wireless network names? #Microsoft and #Wigle do the same.

The good news is you can (and should) opt out.

Give your wireless network a new name with "_nomap" at the end to prevent Google from collecting your router's information.

EX: "YourWifiName_nomap"

Microsoft requires "_optout", but it can be anywhere in the network name.

If you want to block both from collecting and storing your wireless network information, this example would work.

"YourWifiName_optout_nomap"

Wigle wireless mapping service accepts both options so this format would be sufficient.

If you want to know why a country like Argentina is going to elect as president the current minister of economy with an inflation rate of 150% and no gasoline to refuel in the whole country, you have to watch this documentary.

Summary for lazy people, if you pay the citizens for not working, you end up having a lot of slaves that will vote for you if or if and whatever you do, for these citizens is free money, what they do not understand is the consequences of this.

Any European should watch this video to understand that Argentina is our mirror and that is where Europe is going.

Venezuela < Argentina < Spain < Europe in general

For all of the Nostriches that aren't Bitcoiners, all 8 of you 😆 , in case you were confused: Why are Bitcoiners celebrating that the price of Bitcoin is going down today? Well, that means we can acquire more of it. It's on sale or cheaper. We don't want the price to go up in the short-term, because we know where it's going long-term. We don't trade. We don't care about technical analysis. We don't care about charts. We just want to stack. Anyways, enjoy the Bitcoin fire sale.


Bitcoiners should be critical of everyone but especially ourselves.

We should hold ourselves to a higher standard.

blastr: a nostr cloudflare workers proxy relay that publishes to all known online relays.
------------------

This takes advantage of the high availabilty of cloudflare serverless workers on the edge that are rust wasm-based with 0ms cold starts. Learn more about cloudflare workers.

This is write only for now and is compatible with nostr clients but also features a simple POST api endpoint at /event. All events get queued up to run in batches by another worker that spins up every 30s if there's any events lined up, or once a certain amount of events are queued up.

This will help ensure that your events are broadcasted to as many places as possible.

Yeep


Nostr is not social media. Nostr is a censorship resistant communication protocol.


What the hell are Zaps? Or what's the difference between Lightning tips and Zaps?

Simply put, Zaps are Nostr aware Lightning tips. They are integrated with Nostr in a way that allows the sats sent to be tallied and displayed on an individual user's note. Everyone can then see the value of that individual note. That is the key point.

If your Lightning wallet does not support Zaps, you can still send Lightning tips, they will just not be counted and displayed on Nostr. You can still send and receive sats! This is the whole point of Value for Value.

The only Lightning wallets that support Nostr integration (NIP-57) are the following:

strike.army
vida.page
stacker.news
bitcoin jungle
ln.tips (LightningTipBot)

Many others are working on adding support for this. This includes Wallet of Satoshi, BTCPay server, Bitcoin Beach, and probably many more.
