SHOW GUIDE:
- Diverter gives his background: “some random dude” who found bitcoin and became immersed in the privacy realm
- Mining For The Streets was his first big project — home bitcoin mining is back again, even if only to acquire BTC without KYC
- Samourai Wallet was the only thing that really made me excited about bitcoin; now, I’m kind of lost
- Diverter’s take on the future of bitcoin privacy now
- The timing of the arrests are conspiratorially interesting regarding releases regarding decentralized Whirlpool
- Samourai Wallet was also heavily invested in helping the case of Roman Sterlingov; made big investments into Tor, the “Death Athletic” documentary, & more
- OXT.ME was a major tool for freedom and privacy from the State and ChainAlysis; now, things are uncertain
- OXT’s origin story: sought out by governments and private corporations worldwide; takes a ton of servers to run this thing, and was going to shut it down — SW stepped in!
- POLITICAL PRISONER HIGHLIGHT #1: Kevin “KC” Massey
- KC explains the case; then, a clip of one of his many normal interactions with Border Patrol
- The Citizens for Constitutional Freedom — Patriots that stood their ground against the State, armed, won in court — inspiration for SW and TDev! (FULL PLAYLIST AS IT HAPPENED)
- How the Southern District Court of New York is gaining alleged jurisdiction in these crypto privacy cases — absolutely ridiculous.
- The snowballing, chilling dissent effects across the crypto/privacy ecosystem
