In the wake of Samourai Wallet being seized (ugh), what do you guys think of me doing an investigation into the circumstances behind the seizure and posting them on the site?

Speaking of activity, I am just finishing monthly overview of the local boards activity (It should be released tomorrow) and you will be glad to hear that our numbers for the last month are the best in the last year or so. 

From my point of view, mixing isn't inherently criminal behavior either.... As a matter of fact, many people (including myself) use(d) mixer to increase their privacy. It's nobody's business how much BTC i hold, that's private information (just like my FIAT balance on my bank account). But this didn't stop the world's governements of attacking all mixing services, so i don't see why they wouldn't increase their attack surface by making every service that isn't 100% KYC and actively working with them a valid target.

Is Samourai wallet now banned from Bitcointalk? No, I can type https://chipmixer.com/ and http://sinbad.io/ without getting banned.

Rhetorical question, but should BurtW be banned from Bitcointalk for Money Laundering And Unlicensed Money Transmitting Offenses?

Definition of a mixer

For clarity, here is a detailed definition of what we mean by a "mixer". Most people know intuitively what a mixer is and don't have to read this.

Something is considered a mixer if it meets all of these requirements:
 1. It has a feature advertised for taking property, improving its privacy somehow, and then returning roughly the same type of property.
     a. Even though you can sometimes use non-mixers to mix coins by depositing and then withdrawing, this doesn't make it a mixer because this is an incidental use of the service; the service isn't advertised as privacy-enhancing.
     b. If a site is not primarily a mixer but has a mixer function, such as a mixer function on a gambling website, then the whole site is considered a mixer.
     c. If the site takes coins, gives you a possibly-transferrable IOU, and will convert this IOU back into mixed coins much later, then the temporary conversion into a different type of property does not prevent it from being considered a mixer.
     d. If the site internally converts your deposit into other things as part of its mixing, but ultimately the point of the product is to get your original type of property back, then that's a mixer, not an exchanger.
 2. It is possible for the mixer to steal property passing through it. Assume that the sender does everything as correctly as possible. Also assume that no miners/verifiers on the base-layer cryptocurrency are evil. But assume that every other actor involved is evil (everyone able to vote in a DAO, every coordination server, every counterparty, every member of a multisig, etc.). Ignore short-term software bugs which are expected to be quickly fixed.
 3. The service does not collect KYC-type info from all users. (This is not an endorsement of KYC generally, or a condemnation of non-KYC services generally. Non-KYC services of other types are still allowed, and in many cases they are a good idea.)

Examples of things that are not banned mixers include exchangers (unless they have a mixing function), CoinJoin-supporting non-custodial wallets, and Monero.

Ok so I know its a rule that if a campaign doesn't pay in bitcoin, it has to be launched in the altcoin section. I cannot find a rule anywhere though, can someone point me to it please?

Vidiš to nisam znao. Hoćeš reći da sve ostale kriptografske varijante koje su dolazile u obzir imaju backdoor pristup? Zvuči mi dosta nategnuto, nisam stručnjak ali znam neke osnove tako da ću probati to malo proučiti. Ako imaš neki dobar source, pm ili ovdje please, ako ne izgooglam kad ulovim vremena na poslu  

Zanimljiva informacija. Jedino nuje mi jasno kakav motiv može stajati iza toga, tj. zašto bi vladina agencija razvila valutu koja bi postojala paralelno sa postojećim fiat valutama. Pogotovo zato što nema nikakvu kontrolu nad njome.

These charges arise from the defendants’ development, marketing, and operation of a cryptocurrency mixer

I wouldn't compare my fridge with a node though: I can't really go without a fridge. But if I were to buy a new one, it would be an energy efficient one. Now that I check it: you're wrong on the power consumption. This one (260l fridge, 103l freezer) consumes 11.9W on average. That's a lot less than my current laptop. That's really impressive!

A typical American-style fridge freezer uses between 40W and 80W (minimum) to 150W and 400W (maximum) of electricity.
A fridge uses around 100W to 250W of electricity, with an average daily energy usage of 1 to 2 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or about $150 per year.
A large fridge uses around 180W or 1575 kWh annually.
Some fridges may use as little as 10W to 15W for table top models.

Laptops typically use between 30-70 watts of power when in use.
The average power consumption of a laptop is around 50-60 watts.

Power Consumption by Activity:

Web browsing: 20-40 watts
Office work: 30-50 watts
Video streaming: 40-60 watts
Gaming: 60-120 watts
Video editing: 80-150 watts

I will add it in the future, as LN becomes easier and safer to use.

I’m not following you. Which negative tag was given to me?

I am not pissed with everyone but icopress. I am trying to understand what causes the massive blow? [1.] icopress influenced everyone [2.] two of my posts that caused all these blow [3.] the neutral feedbacks that I left for icopress and Jambler.

First openly^[1] and then in PM, icopress told everyone [that are in his campaigns, targeting those who are effected by Jambler's ban] to distrust BitcoinGirl.Club and they did.
