PSA:
If you are looking to recover your COLDCARD funds or know anyone who is, please do not go to Thomas Braziel (@ bkclaims on X) – the guy currently advertising a class action lawsuit against @nprofile…h23z.
According to court records, he got himself assigned a case in 2024 and ended up pleading the 5th amendment over 500 times after being accused of embezzling millions of Dollars from a company he was meant to represent.
Here's what the court had to say about him:
"Braziel committed conduct that, on its face, meets the elements of crimes that include theft, forgery, and tax evasion."
"Braziel provided Fisher Weiss with falsified records."
"Braziel manufactured alternative versions of the account statements."
"Braziel [...] had created falsified versions of the Company's bank records" to "conceal his self-dealing."
He was ordered to pay $1.9M in restitution. He was never criminally indicted.
Read the court filing yourself: https://courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Download.aspx?id=366760
He has since removed me from the claimant's Telegram group and deleted my post summarizing the court filing.
Please join the COLDCARD claimant Telegram group via link below and share the court's findings with the group – none of these people deserve to put even more of their money at risk.

Reminds me that it's very easy to capitulate to the grim reality we find ourselves in – who cares, everything i do is being watched anyway, might as well give up, etc.
Instead, we should be building a culture of doing the best we can – use the tools where there are real alternatives, help build the ones that are still too hard to use.

2026-06-08 14:40:30 UTC

Really important point made here: relay operators should be prepared for getting take-down orders. The more nostr matures, the worse this is going to get.
The point of nostr is not that you can ignore these takedown orders while fooling yourself into thinking that you somehow operate outside of the law because you run a nostr relay (or worse, put the people contacting you into actual danger while probably violating even more laws as you're at it).
Nostr does not prevent you from getting these orders or complying with them, unless you want to make yourself liable.
What Nostr *does* do is decentralize the content, so that it shouldn't matter if Will takes something down or Primal takes something down, bc other relays will still host the content.
If the only solution we see to dealing with these issues is being a child about it – instead of, idk, further decentralizing nostr hosting/broadcasting and treating it as a real problem we all need to deal with – we're in for a wild ride.

First of all, all you wannabe libertarian snowflakes need to make up your minds whether words are violence or not. If someone insulting you on social media isn't, then getting sent an email isn't either.
Second, and I find it very concerning that this seems to be news to you, *publicly posting someones name on the internet* that *wasn't known before* – esp someone who *is public about his interests in bitcoin* – puts this person at serious risk of *actual violence* –> e.g. someone coming to your house and cutting your fingers off or kidnapping your family.
Honestly appalling to even attempt to be making a comparison here between sending someone *an email* and putting that person's life in *actual danger* and then going on to call that "a grey area."

So anyone who knows my legal name is free to post it on the internet and that wouldnt be doxxing bc i told them my name? Yea that makes a lot of sense.

But the real heroes are the people standing up to governments to change the laws that are causing these problems for people around the world in the first place.
One of them is Nick Anthony, who is singlehandedly doing more to fight these unjust laws than anyone I know - and not enough people know about his work.

What I great idea. I cant wait to explain this to my landlord. Thanks for the tip.

2026-05-19 13:53:41 UTC

There‘s a lot of questions people have when this happens, so I want to address them one by one.
First, people ask why I still use an exchange.
The answer to this is simple: because I need money in my bank account to pay my bills, just like any other normal person.
Second, people recommend just using P2P services.
But P2P services are even worse. Small frequent amounts from random people paid into your bank account will get you banned from any bank immediately as it throws an instant AML flag.
Third, people blame the exchanges.
Every exchange this has happened to me on (apart from one) has been exceptionally helpful and constructive. This is not the exchanges fault.
So lets blame the banks!
Also wrong. This is not the banks fault - it is the fault of laws that have turned banks into undemocratic policing vehicles. The banks hate these laws as much as we do - because it causes them to spend billions of $ on braindead compliance bros.
I think its important to direct our anger where it matters:
against the system that has been built to make this happen, and not against those enforcing it, as they mostly have no other choice ✌️
#nevent1q…mmhp

2026-05-19 13:14:58 UTC

My money has once again been frozen by an exchange.
As always, I try to explain that I am a journalist and make my money through donations. I send them my donations page – and of course that's not enough.
"Please show us receipts of when you purchased the bitcoin," they say. Because the concept of using bitcoin as money simply does not exist in the mind of a compliance bro.
Its not illegal to receive anonymous donations – in theory. In practice, the bank will freeze your accounts until you KYC every donation you receive. This is the problem with AML:
You can obey the law as it is written, and the bank will still penalize you without any chance at due process.
All this, of course, while Jeffrey Epstein and friends move hundreds of millions through the banks for human trafficking.
1$ left in the bank account. Let's see how long this process takes this time.

- reply

I think the „people can use any wallet they want“ part is actually the problem - it gives people decision overwhelm and then they dont know what to do. it also assumes that people already know how to use bitcoin.
Honestly i would just integrate cashu, its extremely easy to use and has failed maybe once for me in the past 12 months bc a mint i was on was doing some key rotations.
And before you cry about KYC and regulation: much like nostr relays, cashu mints are decentralized around the world.
If you argue for cashu to fail bc of regulation you are essentially arguing for nostr to fail bc of regulation, bc im not sure if you noticed, but theres no more non-kyc internet pretty soon, making non-censorship a federal crime.
If a network of decentralized mints cant navigate this, neither can a network of decentralized relayers.

Instead of focusing on making zaps easier for everyone, normies will be even more confused as to why zap this way and not another way.
