Tornado cash was based in the Netherlands. Chipmixer was based in Vietnam. Both of these countries will comply with whatever the United States wants them to do. Both of these mixers were used by North Korean hackers so they had a big target on their back from U.S. law enforcement. The U.S. was not going to allow these mixers to provide their service to a country that they see as an enemy, allowing them to bypass their sanctions.

As for whether Mehdi himself might be identified, indicted, arrested, or sanctioned, he told WIRED he remains relatively confident about his own fate. He shared a long list of cryptocurrency mixing services on the forum BitcoinTalk, pointing out that relatively few have faced those outcomes. "It would be silly not to worry about it at all. I take all the necessary precautions to protect my anonymity," he wrote—notably, prior to Elliptic's revelation that Sinbad and Blender may be connected—but he added that "I expect to remain part of the market and not become one of the unfortunate exceptions."

There was an idea to make a fully or partially decentralized social network with profiles and a rating system, convenient web3 authorization, a private messenger, where you can also comment or suggest ideas, projects, look for like-minded people and contribute to the crypto community together, conduct Bounty and Airdrop and other activities from the current platform. The last point can be given special attention, making them functionally like Zealy and its analogues.
So that the news feed platform is not empty at first, we can parse popular tweets from crypto Twitter accounts and sort them into categories: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT, web3 and others using artificial intelligence tools.

It's not about web 2.0 or web3, for me the most important thing is that the provider is trusted, the deposit and withdrawal process doesn't take long, customer support available every need, game, uptime its more importan for me. Web3 might be considered better in terms of transaction speed, however, i think all providers have rules such as minimal confirmation for deposits, and the withdrawal process may not be done instantly, even though in fact it already supports web3.

This one hit me hard because I used to download cracked version of games in the past. I've this question that I've been wanting to ask for a while and I feel there's no better time than now to ask. if one uses a hardware wallet to access crypto funds from a malware infected desktop or laptop, is the person's crypto wallet at the risk of being compromised? Though, I don't do that anymore and my system is in good state but I wish to know for learning purpose.

I hardly see merit giveaway in this forum.
@OgNasty is doing one, but I haven't come across any of that but I know of @Deadsea, he's really helping out newbies and other users who care to join, but to rap it up, all merit source are really trying their best to make things move smoothly in this Forum and is not easy as we think when they start doing their thing. I Still give maximum respect to them all.

Maybe you should read up on the history of the biggest shitcoin before shilling or even touching it.

So you're saying the shitcoin created something that can't be used without the shitcoin? Big surprise!

Let's look it up again:

This is literally the same BS as the ICO hype that made some people so much richer while many gullible people lost their money.
It hasn't "disrupted" anything. Look it up before still shilling for this 6 years later!

You seem like the typical shitcoin shill: attacking the messenger instead of responding to his post. I guess you can't show a real use case in the real world.
