Last Notes npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded X-Files warned about the #Hantavirus psyop. Supposedly used as a cover story to hide a planned armageddon secretly negotiated between these men and… #aliens ? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded European nations that want to have a chance at remaining sovereign need to exit the E.U. Before it’s too late. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Because we want to protect the children living in Utah we need to verify the identity of every Utah resident, then because we want to protect the children of Utah who now use a VPN, we need to verify the identity of anyone regardless of where they live across the globe. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded So websites either will need to verify every visitor identity (not just those living in Utah) or block all known VPNs. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded « Futarchy is a form of government proposed by economist Robin Hanson, in which elected officials define measures of national wellbeing » npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It seems that what you’re proposing here is to implement a representative democracy on Bitcoin. I would be more in favor of a direct democracy that is well suited to decide the future of a public good such as Bitcoin. Elective democracy is more prone to corruption and while I agree that the plebs is not all knowing in all matters, collective intelligence is often superior to the intelligence of one corruptible committee of men. Open debates between experts would certainly be an important component to maintain. Participating in a process of direct democracy is optional and would require active participation from the node runners so it’s not everybody that would show up to have their voice heard, only those with a honest interest in improving the protocol. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m not sure I understand your point. Governance in #Bitcoin is stuck because the mining power is too centralized and miners don’t really care about politics, they just want to make money for securing the network. Now imagine that governance would be decided by node runners and that to an eligible node runner you just need to prove that you are a unique human to prevent Sybil attacks. Would it be a bad way to govern the protocol? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Even better for decentralized coordination is PoHW (proof-of-human-work). 1 person, 1 vote. It doesn’t get more decentralized than that. #Idena npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Ok it worked. It’s strange though that it filter messages on my own timeline. The default setup to 3 seems a bit aggressive (especially for long posts). npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded #nevent1q…had2 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded @npub18m7…q955 @npub1xts…kk5s this problem is still going on. Any idea why I can’t post this message on my timeline and why it doesn’t appear in the the related tags? It seems that it is still showing in some users timeline though (as some reacted to it). npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded With #Trump going to war with #Iran some of his supporters come to realize that he is being owned. However, this is not a recent phenomena, Trump has been owned for decades and that’s why he was elected twice. They don’t care if he lose the mid-terms because the final objective of having him as President was to start this war. The mission is already accomplished. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded The first video seen in the video with Trump sitting on a chair and the young girls walking around him. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Do you know if this video of Trump is real? I assumed it’s AI but didn’t look into it more. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded With #Trump going to war with #Iran some of his supporters come to realize that he is being owned.

Is @npub18m7…q955 filtering out the #EpsteinFiles or what? 🤣 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded With #Trump going to war with #Iran some of his supporters come to realize that he is being owned.

The mission is already accomplished. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Just testing if this note will show on my timeline… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded All the duplicated notes, none of which is showing in my timeline (see screenshot). I could only see them because someone replied. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded @npub18m7…q955 here is the note that I was able to see from my replies tab only when toggling off the « trusted network » option. That said I cannot see the note in my timeline… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I can see this note 👆🤣 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I can see this note 👆😂 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I don’t know what’s going on with #Nostr / @npub18m7…q955 but I can’t see a note that I have posted multiple times while I can see my « GM » note (that I posted as a test). It seems that someone has replied to the note (that I can’t see) as I received a push notification for the reply but I just can’t see the note anywhere. It seems I’m having a lot of similar glitches lately (especially getting notified for people replies but. Ot being able to see the reply). I don’t even know how I can troubleshoot this. I may just have to try a new client. We are still a long way to be able to compete with centralized social media platforms… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded With #Trump going to war with #Iran some of his supporters come to realize that he is being owned.

However, this is not a recent phenomena, #Trump has been owned for decades and that’s why he was elected twice.

The mission is already accomplished. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded So Dutch people are selling it all for gold? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Except there are evidences for the latter but not the former. That said « controlled » is a bit too strong of a term, I think « captured » reflects the reality better. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Whether it is the #EpsteinFiles or the #PodestaEmails , this is nothing new. Some had warned us years ago. Interesting how Andrew Breitbart tweet somehow got deleted from his Twitter account years after his death. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Some MAGA folks claim that #Trump is clean from the #EpsteinFiles because a document shows that he called the police on Epstein (and supposedly he was one of the first to do so). This claim is made without considering the broader context. Trump called the police AFTER it was known that an investigation had been opened on #Epstein. This seems like a lame attempt from Trump to save his ass before the scandal blows up to Epstein’s circle. If Trump would have really cared about saving the children from Epstein’s evil, he would have contacted the police years before and not just when shit is about to hit the fan. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Yes, but #Bitcoin path got derailed with the scaling debate. This debate is still one to have because let’s be honest, Bitcoin doesn’t scale to a global usage. The lightning network was accepted as the solution to this issue. Now that it has failed, what’s next? Recognizing that BTC got co-opted along the way without reassassing the beliefs that were cemented as a result of this psyop will keep us in the unsatisfactory status quo. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded The Bitcoin Cash roadmap has certainly diverged over time but the scaling vision is a bit in limbo especially since the ABC left BCH for eCash. Roger’s team hasn’t contributed much to the code anyway. I’m not aware that Gavin has ever been involved in BCH. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Sure but they gonna need some else to take his role. He publicly lost all credibility. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded He’s cooked npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Sad but true: Satoshi invented #Bitcoin, #Epstein captured it. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Probably just a matter of time until the verification is required for non age restricted content or the category of content deemed to be age restricted will be expended arbitrarily. Crypto and political content will probably targeted next. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded The #epsteinfiles are rewritting the history of #Bitcoin and demonstrate how a grass-root movement can remain co-opted for years by social engineers. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Alex Jones is most likely controlled opposition. https://odysee.com/@SaviorSelf:c/AlexJonesTwoFaced:5 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It sucks when you realize that the HODL narrative was engineered by Epstein… This guy had his hands on everything. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It seems that quite a few folks that were dismissive of #PizzaGate are now realizing that it was real because of the #EpsteinFiles. So if you are one of them, I can only recommend to watch the #PedoGate documentary which is IMO the best resource to quickly get a solid overview of PizzaGate. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded If you don’t conclude that personalities on both side of the aisle are equally implicated by looking at the #EpsteinFiles, then your opinion is strongly influenced by your political bias. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded According to the activity of a Fortnite account that can be traced back to Jeffrey Epstein, it seems as Epstein is still alive. What a surprise! npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It looks like #SteveBannon was a good pal of #Epstein. The belief system of ultra #MAGA shattered in pieces. And yes, #Qanon was a psyop. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded The #Epstein / #Bitcoin Core connections obviously go deeper than that. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m not surprised there was some blackmailing going on targeting some key #Bitcoin figures. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I never thought the U.S. government would ever release files in a WikiLeaks-style manner. #EpsteinFiles npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Another contributor to the untenability of the backing of the US dollar by gold was the creation of the Eurodollars system which allows foreign banks to create US dollars. The US Federal Reserve has no oversight over those banks so for obvious reasons, a gold backing couldn’t be maintained even if there had been a willingness to do so. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It seems that a lot of notes aren’t indexed. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Here is the most recent research on the topic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.12256 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I would like to know. Nostr.band has been broken for months and doesn’t work anymore. #asknostr npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded On point. I would add that #Bitcoin ETF and DATs aren’t bullish. They concentrate the supply in custodians that lend it to short sellers allowing the “tradification” of #BTC which will make it a less volatile asset. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Henry Ford Health a pro-vaccine medical organization conducted a study comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children. The study concluded that vaccinated children are significantly sicker with chronic diseases than the unvaccinated ones. This is not the first study to show this outcome but it certainly is the most authoritative. However, the author of the study made the decision to not publish it fearing reputational risk and negative consequences on his career. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Too many #Bitcoin (Saylor, ETF & more) are held by large custodians like Coinbase who are then lended to short sellers. This allows institutional players to keep BTC in a range while chopping retail investors. The only solution is for retail to take their money out of those custodians and to self-custody but of course it won’t happen. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded In 2025, we’ve seen the Western World burning a bit more with each passing day. Our societies have been taken over by a plutocrat class which pollutes our minds with propaganda and attack our bodies with various vector of warfare. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I think we’re going to go for a multi-year consolidation range #note1rsg…kl76 npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m not sure VPN blocked will deter VPN usage. You may have to turn off your VPN to access some official/institutional website which already ties to your real identity anyway. However, websites that are broadly accessed through pseudonyms would shoot them themselves in the foot with those restrictions. If they are forced to do so via regulations, it will help decentralized alternatives. The only real way VPN bypass can be countered is by enforcing a digital ID at the ISP level. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I feel so unsafe and in danger of being harmed on #Nostr npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded And 3I/Atlas will make its closest approach to Earth. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded « In its current form, the Danish CSAM scanning proposal would force the likes of WhatsApp, Signal, ProtonMail, and other messaging services to perform indiscriminate scanning of private messages. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded This is scary indeed but what is the checkpoint through which this could be implemented? And is it realistic to think this could be enforced globally? Isn’t the infrastructure sufficiently decentralized to prevent such an outcome? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I guess I need to update my watchlist! npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m afraid what is next for the price of #Bitcoin if #BTC doesn’t put on a V-reversal from here… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Interesting how #QRL is always pumping when #Bitcoin and the #crypto market crashes. I’m sure OGs selling has to do with them hedging their stack for the Q-Day. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Yeah, I think Monero (and other undervalued cryptos) will manage to keep an uptrend while Bitcoin ranges but most cryptos will oscillate or downtrend. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Quick #Bitcoin price update: npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Interesting. I had not caught up with this news. Theoretically, if a large portion of merchants accept BTC-to-BTC or fiat-to-BTC payments it should positive for the price but if they choose BTC-to-fiat then yes, it would create more sell pressure. I’m not sure how much impact on the price this integration may have had already. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m not saying that Bitcoin is done going up forever. Yes, over the long run it will continue to go up against fiat assuming that Bitcoin can upgrade to quantum safe cryptography in time. But as long as OGs are not done distributing in the current price range, the price will be capped whether or not more fiat are printed. How long will this phase last is anyone guess, but it could take longer than most expect. I think years rather than months. We shall see… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I can’t tell if you’re trolling or being serious here. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded In the early days, was #Bitcoin mostly talked as being electronic money or a reserve asset? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’m not sure how some folks can make the case that OGs unloading their bitcoins is bullish for the price. Due to its non-linear emission, the #Bitcoin supply became quite concentrated among early adopters. The original vision was that nobody would need to sell their #BTC for fiat but because Bitcoin has failed to be broadly adopted as a medium of exchange, OGs have no choice but to exchange part of their stack for fiat which puts pressure on the price. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Standard fee for swaps is usually around 0.25% which is already significant. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Yes, testing ideas that have zero chance of being implemented in Bitcoin. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded 5) You understand why so many global policies are anti-human when you realize their masters are non-human beings npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded “The bill treats #privacy like a loophole, not a right, reshaping the internet into a government ID checkpoint. […] The bill’s machinery reads like a privacy demolition project written by people who still call tech support to reset passwords. […] The wording is broad enough to rope in half the internet, yet somehow manages to exclude “bona fide news” (as to be determined by the state) and cloud platforms that don’t create the content themselves. […] Officials in other places are already cheering this idea. Michigan introduced a proposal requiring internet providers to detect and block VPN traffic.” npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded #Bitcoin price forecast update: npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded It looks like 3I/Atlas is on its way out of the solar system. So even if it’s likely an engineered object, it doesn’t appear to be hostile. Government agencies have done a great job covering-up this event. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded #Bitcoin price forecast update: npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Insane but I suspect that hinting that a politician is a #reptilian (I’m not even sure if that was your intent or if your comment was figurative) is telling something they don’t want to be propagated. I fear for Rep. Higgins… npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Over the last week, I’ve seen a lot of traders on X surveying their audience on whether #Bitcoin has entered a bear market or will see a higher high next. This is a trick question because I think both are true. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I usually don’t set price targets based on fundamental or narratives but until the #Bitcoin network comes up with a consensual plan to migrate to quantum resistant cryptography, I think #BTC will have a hard time of reaching $200k. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Although painful, these market flushes are an opportunity to differentiate over-hyped #crypto from undervalued/fairly valued ones. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded The U.S. government is about to refill its #Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded That’s the uniparty playbook at play here. Biden authorized the intervention of the army on the domestic territory and #Trump makes use of it. Similar to how Trump deployed the COVID vaccine and Biden forced it on people. If you think there is one side that is less worse than the other, you’re being played for your consentement. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Just to be clear I’m not saying that ZCash privacy is overall superior to Monero privacy as I believe that volume of private transactions is an important factor (as far as I know Monero dwarfs ZCash in this regards) and certainly for careless users, Monero offers better guarantees but I think both approaches present tradeoffs to balance privacy and auditability. Monero could have chosen not to make this tradeoff. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded That’s a fair point however based on what you said, it seems that the wallets are the culprits and not the protocol itself. Unless you tell me that ZEC can only be acquired in a public address before being shielded (which I don’t think is the case). npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Also to play Devil’s advocate one could say that using ZCash private addresses only is more private than using Monero because there is no vector attack for a third party to request the de-anonymization of a user transactions history. If you unshield some of your funds in ZCash you still keep your transaction history private while if you share your view key you share all your transactions history with the third party. This is a bit of a theorical scenario but worth considering. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I can see how in practice a much larger portion of ZCash users would use public addresses than Monero users would share their view key. I also see how sharing view keys with one party is different from transacting in clear and making it available to all but it seems to me that a user who would want to acquire ZCash privately and never unshield his funds would not compromise his privacy more than someone using Monero without sharing his view key. I think Monero’s approach values privacy to a greater degree than ZCash does but it’s possible and not that complicated for someone that would want his transactions to remain private to achieve this goal with ZCash (so I think saying that ZCash is public by default is a bit of an unfair claim). Although I see the use case for view keys I also think that it opens a attack surface for a third party to force the de-anonymization of their users. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded Can’t ZCash users only use private addresses? npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded I’ve never used ZCash but my understanding is that you can choose to only use private addresses (tell me if I’m wrong here). But exchanges force people to use public addresses. My point being that I don’t see what would prevent exchanges to push a similar request on their users by forcing them to share their view key. Although, I agree that it’s not the same as sharing your transactions with everybody, in practice it could lead to the same outcome as regulators could force exchange to collect and share the chain transactions of their users. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded But an exchange could require users to enter their view key the same way that they require using Zcash public addresses. npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 LogicallyMinded What would your respond to people who claim that #Monero public view keys make privacy somewhat optional in a similar fashion?
