The funniest thing has officially happened to the International Association for Cryptologic Research. Proof that no matter how perfect the cryptography, it’s only as good as the humans holding the keys. image
"People should be deterred from doing what the Samourai Wallet developers did" - Judge Cote
To the "don’t trust the system" and "begging won’t help" privacy cynics: I’m one of you. I don’t trust the state (any state!) one bit. I live behind Tor/VPNs, I literally burn devices, no IP, no ID, no KYC, "everyone is a fed" mentality & building the parallel economy that will one day make the state irrelevant. But some of our brothers are already inside the state's meat grinder: jailed for writing code that protects YOU. They can’t do anything anymore. They can only stare at a signature counter and hope. You know that little dopamine hit when the notification bell goes +1… of course you know - you see this msg on some social network ;) For them, every new signature is that bell. Except theirs decides whether they walk free or rot in a cage. You don’t have to "believe in the system". Just give them one more red notification, one more dopamine hit, one more spark of hope. If your heart is too armored for empathy, borrow mine. Fight on both fronts... anonymously/pseudonymously. #FreeSamourai
It would mean a lot if you would sign this petition calling on Donald Trump to pardon Keonne and Bill In 30 days they will report to prison. Unless the President steps in. Developers shouldn't be liable for the actions of bad actors using their software #freesamourai image
