By the way, here's some new technology: GitHub - iperov/DeepFaceLive: Real-time face swap for PC streaming or video calls Obviously not ready for prime time, yet, but interesting progress. Examples: DeepFaceLive/examples.md at master · iperov/DeepFaceLive DeepFaceLive/examples.md at master...

Can those be mentioned here? Curious.

O'rlllly. https://www.elliptic.co/blog/bitcoin-money-laundering

Haven't read the thread and haven't read the particular article linked, but this is just about transfers between custodial wallets. Who cares, that part of crypto is fucked anyway. The "serious" part starts once they've locked down the custodial system, everyone has stopped using it, and they...

This is going to be the deciding factor. Not sure if anyone here knows Swiss law well enough or cares to research it for you. If not, I'm sure a Swiss tax lawyer would be able to provide reliable information.

Cyber gangs typically use WiFi antennas to crack Wifis far from their own location. Deep packet inspection doesn't help against E2E encryption.

If you don't know at all what you're doing, you indeed can't assume privacy. Even if you know what you're doing, you won't stay anonymous if a government is staffing a cyber intelligence team to find you. Look at the Eastern European cyber crime gangs who only operate over cracked WiFis with Tor...

No strong reason to limit transfers to/from the hardware wallet. For incoming transfers, you just make sure to never reuse an address. You can generate an unlimited number of addresses for free, and reusing addresses is considered bad practice. I think reuse is only acceptable if the payment...

So I was right ... if he/she can time the payment of the tokens (to coincide with low prices), that would reduce taxes legally. Then just wait for 1 year, and the appreciation is tax free.

Woah, that's next level. But a great idea. Love the Monero community's resiliency and ideological alignment. I wish more of the developers would have stayed pseudonymous in the first place. It's what saved Satoshi. Governments would certainly have harassed him for something.

The problem is that most people probably wouldn't care too much. Only a minority of people would leave their home country due to tax changes. The rest is happy that someone in a different country is subsidizing them. Unfair system.

The problem is that people's home addresses got leaked ... so now people are afraid of getting robbed / threatened / extorted / etc. There are class action lawsuits against Ledger as a result. The hardware itself is safe.

You may not want to. If you do, read the sentence that follows.

Sometimes it's about existence of good alternatives. Even the USA is turning into a Soviet Union right now. Seems fashionable these days.
