What if an LSP were setup as a 501c3 instead of as a business? Would it then be legal to operate in the US (for now)? #asknostr

Did you buy the phone with cash and not provide any personal information?
If you want to go full schizo, never connect to your home wifi. Connect to public wifi, then fire up Tor or VPN.

Been using boltz.exchange a lot recently with Minibits and I have to say, this seems like a simple way to gain privacy.
I have sats with questionable opsec in Liquid, so I use boltz to move sats into Minibits, wait, then in a day or two, use boltz to move those sats into a different Liquid wallet. Even easier if you have sats in a Lightning wallet to begin with.
Once you have a decent stack in Liquid, you can use boltz to convert back into BTC if you choose.
- Always connect to boltz over Tor.
- Always use Tor or a VPN on the device running Minibits.
- Green can be used for L-BTC and it can be configured to run over Tor as well.
- Use random or random-ish values (ie don't send exactly the same amount into Minibits as you take out later)
Risk
Risk tolerance is up to you. Minibits regularly has withdrawals of up to 100,000 sats each day (about $70 as of today), so you have somewhat of a crowd to hide in. I consider Minibits much more experimental than Liquid, so I don't assume my sats are 100% safe when parked there. The idea is that Minibits is a pitstop only for breaking any links those sats might have. If something goes wrong and my small stack of sats ends up as an unintentional donation to the Minibits team, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
Liquid is run by a federation that could theoretically collude and steal all the funds, but it has a long track record and if they were to exit scam, that would be the end of Liquid (and Blockstream) and all of the infrastructure they have built would be for nothing. Still, only keep funds in Liquid that wouldn't be devastating to lose. If you feel anxious about the amount of L-BTC you've accumulated, you can use boltz to swap back into real BTC.
Fees
As of today, sending 50,000 sats from Lightning to Liquid will cost you 544 sats on boltz ($0.38)
Liquid to Lightning is even cheaper at 198 sats ($0.14)

Based and excipient pilled. I started dissolving some of my supps that are in tablet form. Silicon dioxide AKA silica is in a lot of supplements and is not something I want to consume. It settles to the bottom and then you can drink the liquid (assuming supp is water soluble). Look into "persorption". Shit like silica seeps into places in your body where it shouldn't be.

I've started turning off the house wifi at night to limit EMF exposure (haven't researched it deeply but it is a low cost intervention). Anyway, wife's iPhone will connect when I restart the router, but says no Internet. We have to "forget" the network and reconnect, which is really annoying because the password is like 26 random letters and numbers. What is the issue? Don't seem to have the same problem with Android. #asknostr

How's this setup? Bought a Pixel 6a with cash. Never connected it to my home wifi. Flashed it with GrapheneOS. Only connect via always-on Tor on a GL-AX1800 router. Download Zeus via Obtainium. Buy <$600 USD on Robosats each time using CashApp on my other phone and have it payout to Zeus via Lightning. CashApp is obviously the weakest link as they have all my info, but the seller on Robosats only sees my $cashtag and transactions <$600 seem unlikely to trigger some kind of investigation. Thoughts? #opsec #p2p

Whirlpool is great, but you still have to be careful with UTXO management post-mix. There are only pools of several different sizes. If you mix into the smallest pool and actually spend post-mix, you'll eventually be left with a bunch of change that you can't consolidate without linking your UTXOs and negating the benefits of coinjoin.

I agree with all of that. I do think there is an argument for going painstakingly slow implementing new features on Bitcoin. I love and appreciate that Monero has taken more chances and evolved faster, and IMO that has paid off. A major flaw in Bitcoin though could set us back years. That being said, on a long enough timeline (decade plus, maybe?) I do think Bitcoin gets better privacy features and then what edge does XMR have? If not, I could see a future where they coexist forever. Maybe governments and public companies keep their wealth in Bitcoin, but private individuals and companies keep it in Monero. As things develop, it will become easier and easier to swap between the two depending on what is needed for a given situation.

I like Bitcoin and Monero. Not a member of any cult though. They are freedom tools. Maxis on both sides spread FUD about the other. In the long run I think/hope Bitcoin will get strong privacy features and XMR will go to zero, but for now it is useful.
