@bitmover, slightly offtopic question. You have an account with Namesilo because you registered your domain with them. Did they ever ask you for personal information or any kind of verification?

My account is quite old there, and I know that I had to go through verification for some domains. I'm interested in how the case is now.

They didn't ask me for any kyc yet...

This would be a terrible turn of events. I am quite comfortable with namesilo, I wouldnt want to change to another registrar

Given that Namesilo has the option of paying with Bitcoin without the service of an intermediary, and no KYC is required during domain registration, can we consider it a NO-KYC domain registrar?

Again, sorry for being a bit offtopic

eXch.cx exchange just f***** up Vitalik and donated 31ETH to this case. 

Our donations today:

31 ETH - Legal Defense Fund support for Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm (https://juicebox.money/@free-pertsev-and-storm, https://wewantjusticedao.org) - https://etherscan.io/tx/0x98bfc604c917ccc83d1a86b7af1542011a5aa54208dd110036e2c280a963a498

We believe that their legal team should consider highlighting the fact that crypto was never considered a financial instrument for many years in addition to being unregulated, which should automatically make any attempts to apply fiat-based anti-money laundering regulations to anyone working with crypto unlawful. Basing the defense line on historical facts where major central banks and governments refused to admit crypto as a financial instrument should bring positive results. FATF documentation contains lots of inaccuracies and their VASP-related guidance approaching crypto is highly immature. There is a lot of material to structuralize good defense.

When i write this reply, the donation address already receive 2239 ETH (about $4.8 million). And while it's possible he did that to be in spotlight, i expect it encourage few people to also make donation.

It will be sad that all that money will be "eaten" by lawyers.
As everything looks now, there won't be much help for Alexey, but creating more publicity and providing resistance could soften the attitude of the authorities towards similar cases in the future.

I'm more intrigued why people who work on such things don't try to remain anonymous? I guess these people should realize that what they do attracts a lot of attention, and mixing has been on the black list for years. In this way, the authorities want to send a clear message to everyone who will ever try something similar - and I hope that everyone who will work on something that enables privacy will first of all know how to protect their privacy.

They were under the assumption, "I'm not going to be caught"

Update: Everything looks good now, the site pxzone.online and the telegram bot is now running. I just need to scrape the posts those few days that the bot was down. Unfortunately, karma transactions were not recorded so i can't log them anymore.

Sorry for the inconvenience it caused.

Glad to see you got the hard drive back. somewhat bizarre situation

What do you mean by this karma log non-recording, it means that there are no more notifications for receiving +,- karma?

I will wait for TomPluz's response. However, I think TomPluz has a reason to move this topic to the Ethereum board:

1. Tornado Cash is a crypto mixing service that operates on Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. I don't think Tornado Cash supports BTC, except for WBTC on Ethereum.
2. The topic mentions the actions of Vitalik Buterin, the developer of Ethereum.

My mistake, thx MrSpasybo.
I wanted to go in a different direction, but it doesn't matter.
Closing discussion.

Meanwhile, here I am staking my address.

Verified & quote

So, initially, I opened a topic Vitalik Buterin Donates 30 ETH to Support Tornado Cash Devs in the Bitcoin discussion board.
TornadoCash is a bitcoin service, and everything related to this case is most directly related to the Bitcoin ecosystem, and only then indirectly to all other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is even the least important in the whole case.

Now I see that moderator TomPluz has moved this discussion to the Ethereum board https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=321739.msg1565162#msg1565162

So, I have a few questions for other mods and TomPluz
- To all, Is the discussion about the Bitcoin service suitable for the Ethereum board only because it is a donation in ETH?

- To TomPluz, Are you even familiar with what this case is about? Based on your comment left in the thread, I would say that you are not.
- If not, why did you write a completely irrelevant comment there?
- Finally, if you can briefly explain how you concluded that it is about Ethereum things?

What you say is a fact, without a doubt. But even if that happened, the user base would continue to grow and fortunately, not all users would be inactive. It is true that a decrease in activity has been noticed in recent weeks, but that is something that would happen whether or not there are signature campaigns, it is something that I have seen in previous years. I don't think we should think too much about the activity data, continuing to contribute to the forum is the best we can do.

I am quite surprised disappointed by the way the forum is treated by a large part of users, especially the original (non-teleported) ones. Many participate only and exclusively in filling out a signature quote while writing a meaningless wall of text that does not attract anyone's attention.
So, it is possible to discuss what this forum offers, while users fill the forum with non-sense answers or behave like bots by answering software-generated replies.
