Sounds like it's solving the same problem as https://tbdex.io/whitepaper.pdf is that right?
I'm personally worried about WoS going offline one day after I've orange pilled the owners of all my local shops. That doesn't concern you? Do you think it would be harder to suggest Phoenix and pay for the initial deposit?
Devils advocate: What are the second order effects of the criminal activity? Some of that confiscated money could have funded additional Hamas attacks, for example. Or get North Korea to a nuclear warhead faster etc etc. The proponents of AML probably don't consider this chart to be an indictment on their performance.
Bitcoin will be successful because, by design, it blends strong self-interest incentives with broad positive side-effects. That spans the entire empathy spectrum.
The latest I see on my iphone is v1.6.3.
If I read this post correctly (and it's pretty clear, so I probably am), the 1% initial deposit fee is no more with v2? That's the only thing stopping me from using it today.
I remember one of the child victims tried to take legal action against her alleged rapist, but later withdrew the claim after threats to her family. I wonder how many other victims are in this group.
Unfortunately the article implies that he did this despite adopting bitcoin.
While concerns remain over alleged human right abuses and his obsession with Bitcoin — which he adopted as an official currency in 2021 — Bukele has assuaged the bond market’s worst fears by engineering two debt buybacks, hiring a former International Monetary Fund veteran as an adviser and repaying $800 million of bonds.

In my career I've used git, mercurial, subversion, clearcase and cvs. git is much better than all the rest for all kinds of reasons. I'm very happy with it. Occasionally do something complicated but most of the time just doing the same ol' same ol' vanilla version control and it's ace.
I'm not into hero worship & I'm patient enough to wait for the videos to be released online. Plus when you attend in person you have the problems of:
- You want to attend 2 or more talks at the same time and need to choose one.
- You want to attend 0 of the talks at a given time and have to do something.
- You attend a talk that looks promising but is boring after 10 minutes. Do you stay or leave?
Everything Everywhere AAO. Was a birthday treat. Blurry and hard to hear.
Streamed it later at home so I could actually hear and see it.
Great watch. Thanks.
If you are a net recipient, how frequently would the 3000 sat fee need to be paid? Is it viable to set a merchant up with this wallet given they'll need to occasionally lose 3000 sats on a sale?
My story has the same beginning as yours, but ends with "i couldn't get the software to compile and so went back to playing world of warcraft". smh
I've never understood why Samsung builds of android are so popular. They have all the lock-down of Apple but with much shittier apps. Stock Android may be increasingly losing it's openness, but at least the apps work.
