They never included the official tornado cash contracts deployed on the arbitrum layer 2, so its still legal to use that one.

Ethereum accounts don't own tokens in the same way they own ETH. Token balances exist with smart contracts, so when someone sends you booby coin all they are doing is updating the storage in a smart contract that 0x123 owns 1bil booby coin. Indexers like etherscan parse all transaction events and just keep a tally of what smart contracts have your address listed in balances.

By paying to get rid of it all you are doing is paying for etherscan to update its backend that your address is no longer listed in that smart contract. The real solution is to have wallet software that only tracks tokens you care about.

with chainanalysis this would never work, eventually you have to pool the coins somewhere or funnel them through an exit, both of which will be obvious with analysis software

what use outside of hiding something illegal does privacy have

lichess is by far the better platform too

very interesting

>I'll have to try TikTok I guess

do because you will be very surprised at how good it is

thats why things like rocket pool exist

> If the goal was anonymity

its a public ledger, the goal wasnt anonymity, it was autonomy

where are all the anti crypto and web3 comments?

dumb money is exiting at a loss. who do you think is buying on the other side? not the dumb money that bought 60k, its the smart money that sold it who is buying right now.

it will happen by september, testnets already merged and merging

people think this every crash and then get more cynical as price goes up in the next bubble

who cares, just enjoy it

anything anti crypto is an automatic upvote for most people here, regardless of content. emotions are high

>I hope this person leaks the 100GB files to crash the crypto market

If a coin with a $40b mcap going to zero in a few hours doesnt crash the crypto market I highly doubt a telegram chat dump will

80 upvotes in <40 minutes for a text post with no substance? Doesnt seem organic.

>The crypto bubble is popping

For the 4th time. See you in 4 years for the next crypto bubble.

you dont need a currency, its just another product of byzantine fault tolerant systems. Decentralisation has many products, currency is one of them.

how do these ignorant takes get upvoted on a tech board like this

I think everyone who upvoted this post didnt even read the article

it amazes me how this type of garbage gets upvoted on HN just because it signals "Blockchain Bad!!"

> Old, ugly cars that never seem well maintained

maybe in US or UK but in europe taxis are kept to a high standard, albeit way more expensive

paypal down -65% since last september, it must be out of suckers to scam /s

The second problem is some of the smartest people in the world rather point out its flaws than recognise the potential and help fix the flaws

First of all prove I have crypto

>And to convert crypto back into Canadian dollars

the ultimate goal is to never convert back

Your comment is nonsense. They can seize your gold in a bank vault. They cannot forge a signature transferring your crypto held on your metamask. They would need first physical access to your computer and secondly your metamask password.

They can classify it all they want, but it is completely outside of the control of their legacy systems.

>you end up trusting the unregulated gatekeepers to the block chain --- the exchanges.

how exactly are exchanges gatekeepers? blockchains would function completely fine without exchanges. In fact, on chain exchanges like uniswap and 0x require zero trust whatsoever.

If the crypto is in the users wallet (i.e. not on some crypto exchange) the canadian government cannot seize it without asking the user to sign a transaction transferring them the crypto.

We are 13 years on from bitcoins inception, and we are on a tech board, how this is still not clear to people boggles me.
