Thanks! Getting there, slowly!!

One of the frustrating things with all these LLMs is the sheer amount of JavaScript slop I see people releasing.

No KYC/AML nonsense either.

Many of the BTC<>XMR swap providers appear to be doing AML checks on the backend. Considering launching my own such swap service...I'll provide the liquidity. Tor-only.

We must continue to build tools for privacy and freedom. Governments will not help us get there, so we route around them instead.

Privacy is a human right.

Great content. I wouldn't call it AI slop at all. Well laid out.

Just donated (XMR). Would like to see more Bitcoiners get involved. The infinite jurisdiction claim is absurd, but this is how an empire behaves.

Hi, I'm Ross.
I'm a distributed systems engineer who has been working with Erlang for the last 15 years, although recently I've found myself working more with Elixir and Rust.
I've been a Bitcoiner for many years, and I'm also an admirer of Monero (both are solving things in different ways and I can respect the engineering effort that's gone into both). Additionally I'm a big supporter of Tor and systems that route around governments and useless bureaucrats.
I am currently building several products of my own, including:
- MINTED (A Chaumian eCash mint on the Lightning Network that implements the Cashu NUT protocol). Tor-only.
- PERP WALK (an XMR-only prediction market). Tor-only.
I am a perpetual traveler and a fanatic when it comes to OPSEC.
