I hope they're right but the position that a required Brady disclosure didn't happen is questionable. Brady is widely held by the US courts to require disclosure of facts that would be exculpatory. And it's also widely held that Brady doesn't require disclosure of contrary legal opinions or disclosures. The way I read the article is that they consulted FinCEN, FinCEN said they have a weak case, and they prosecuted anyway ie FinCEN provided a contrary legal opinion. The article doesn't mention evidence that might support the Samourai defendants not having deployed the code or something along those lines. Maybe there are some ethical violations or that sways a jury, but I've got long odds on dismissal due to Brady violations. Hopefully they get some of the recent Ross treatment.
For iOS, I don't believe this is an option without jailbreak. I believe without jailbreaking, only Apple approved apps can be installed on one's $1000+ computer.
Within the last few months, I've seen:
- In iOS store, an app with nostr "twitter" functionality that allowed crypto transfer, not a zap but a wallet transfer nonetheless, and another app that allowed just allowed a wallet transfer. The latter had a busy UI and made no mention of crypto transfer. The former just provided a wallet address that allowed the user to fund the wallet. Both had minimal users. A while back I saw an iOS app that was submitted and had the bluetooth libraries that the user couldn't access even via A/B or any means and made no mention of bluetooth in the store description of website. The bluetooth was detected, presumably via static analysis, and app was rejected for noncompliance... Since nostr clients are fundamentally mostly websockets and json, it wouldn't surprise me if the functionality wasn't detected by static analysis.
- Approved for Android store: apps that also included nostr NIP-01 functionality, allowed crypto transfer (again not NIP-57) and one of them even had in-app purchase set in the play store submission. Again both had small userbase.
As suggested in other posts, I think you'll have a harder time once you reach a Primal or Samourai wallet user base.
And a corollary tragedy of this is that it's self-perpetuating feedback loop ie "Friends" don't talk about politics so just about the only input that the tribalists get is from those who stand to gain from the tribalism. Every election cycle Tribe D and Tribe R and their surrogates campaigns are primarily just variants of "if the other tribe is elected, we're going to hell"...
