Replying to @jonatack
i2pd tunnels got crushed. You can try building their latest from GitHub source to bring it back to life a little. Java doing a little better but nothing to be proud of, and we do not have any workarounds checked in yet.

Everything actionable you need to know about what this indictment means for you as a @SamouraiWallet (SW) or Whirlpool user 👇 As a Samourai Wallet user (no Dojo) Unfortunately, the architecture of SW meant that your xpub (a master public key, allowing anyone holding it to derive all your past/present/future Bitcoin addresses) was at some point in time held by Samourai, and could now possible in the hands of the DOJ. Though it's a worst-case scenario, you should assume that your xpub was compromised, and thus all previous mixes you have done have been unwound and are now traceable. You should also assume that the gov can now derive all past/present/future addresses of yours and track movement of funds if so desired. In addition, Samourai's coordinator and backend sync server was seized, and so SW will no longer sync, show received funds, or allow sending funds out. As such, you have to migrate funds to another wallet like @SparrowWallet following the docs here: docs.samourai.io/wallet/rest… In addition, I would recommend migrating funds to a new seed phrase to prevent anyone holding the xpub from seeing all future received/spent funds. You should also disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed. As a Samourai Wallet user (using your own Dojo) Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo users xpubs were compromised. You will still be able to sync/send/receive from your Samourai Wallet app, but should also migrate funds eventually as no further updates will come out for Samourai Wallet. If you want to migrate, use the docs below: docs.samourai.io/wallet/rest… You should, however, disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed. As a Sparrow Wallet user Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised as well. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo/Sparrow users xpubs were compromised. There is no real need to rotate to a new wallet etc, and Sparrow is still an excellent option. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to mix in Sparrow as the Samourai coordinator was seized. Next steps for privacy If you (like me) relied on Samourai Wallet for privacy on Bitcoin, it's time to look elsewhere sadly. As of today I have two recommendations: Use Monero for spending, keep using Bitcoin for savings Yes, this isn't Bitcoin, but its by far the most used and most practical privacy coin out there with strong (and growing) ways to swap in/out of it without a centralized, KYC exchange. My recommendation is buying enough to cover your normal spending of Bitcoin for a month at least, and spend out of that lump sum as needed. Learn more: getmonero.org/ Where to get Monero: @bisq_network @TrocadorApp In @cakewallet's exchange feature Wallets: @FeatherWallet @cakewallet @monerujowallet Merchants that accept Monero: monerica.com cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xmr/ Use JoinMarket JoinMarket is a decentralized Coinjoin protocol that brings together peers to mix funds together, gaining strong privacy without relying on a central coordinator, without giving fees to a central entity, etc. The best way to get started today is using the new UI built around JoinMarket, @jamapporg: jamapp.org/ Have any more questions? Drop them below and I'll do my best to answer them. nitter.net/sethforprivacy/s…

Puis en passant dans les pays développés, comme la Chine, il y a un système pour faire des remarques et des réclamations directement, ça m'éviterait de devoir dire ces choses-là en public sur Twitter

Dites @Ligne7_RATP , déjà que c'est pénible de prendre le métro avec une poussette, si on pouvait éviter de devoir poireauter 5min devant votre guichetier parce qu'il ne sait pas faire 2 choses en même temps, et se taper sa mauvaise humeur en prime.

Au vu du contexte actuel, cela semble être le bon moment pour détailler le fonctionnement des cold (souvent hardware) wallets et leurs différents compromis de sécurité. Rendez-vous mercredi à 21h30 pour le Space Kek ! 🔥🍪 x.com/i/spaces/1ynJOawejRXKR
Et après une bonne semaine en Toscane, c'est le retour du Space Kek ce jeudi à 21h30 ! Au programme, rien de bien précis, comme tous les mois : venez avec vos sujets ! Nous parlerons sûrement de Stamps, déjà 😁 A très vite ! x.com/i/spaces/1djxXldazkOxZ

Great art. Seriously.
Some climate activists think #Bitcoin is just fake internet money they can safely ignore. The truth? Bitcoin is causing dangerous amounts of real-world pollution from its ravenous consumption of fossil fuels, all due to its outdated code. The solution? #ChangeTheCode
