Maybe higher prio than marketing right now? Many crypto aren't like me, they want to be anonymous or pseudonemous. How about stopping the leak today?

Let's bump up the priority on this. @ekzyis @k00b

What's the issue? How are people being doxxed?

Please elaborate on the doxx situation. Or do it via responsible disclosure if it’s that serious.

He did a responsible disclosure but looks like he decided it's a more pressing issue after I responded to him on SimpleX a few days ago.

It's about plausible not allowing us to disable location data and it's not a priority of theirs to implement (we requested that feature multiple times in the past). We've decided to self host plausible at some point where we would have more control.

We also believe the anonymized location data (extracted via IP most likely) aren't that serious to prioritize this and the heuristics @Michelson_Morley used to deanonymize user location - he can explain it better - aren't that great.

For example, he claimed he identified that two users are the same but we're pretty sure they aren't.

Why is it no longer self hosted?

What do you mean? We aren't self hosting it yet but we're still planning to.

edit: oh, you edited your comment

We never self hosted it

He's just a frustrated shitcoiner, pretending to be a bitcoiner.

wow such a great discovery you use windows... what about using windows just as a decoy in a VM inside a Linux machine, dedicated to post on SN, so k00b could see you are a windows user?

Yeah, the only thing concerning about this "leaks" is location data, which doesnt affect me personally bc i use VPN
