Hey Hodlnaut, just wanted to let you know my old college roommate is working with faketoshi's defense team for the appeal (sadly his first job out of law school). They all think he's insane. Keep fighting the good fight!
Much more stable. Thicker channels, more overall liquidity. Can handle bigger payments with ease now. Also, the ecosystem around it has grown a lot. Projects like Breez have made streaming sats and running a self custodial LN wallet easy.
I think I learn the most from the plebs, since they offer up so many different perspectives and journeys to see and understand bitcoin from/through. Just interacting with them on twitter is a learning journey, though not necessarily technical in nature.
Gigi and Giacomo are among my favorite people to learn from also.
How can he sue you from another country? As in, what happens if you ignore it? Would you just be prevented from going to the UK or do they have jourisdiction in Norway as well? I never understood this part of his lawsuits.
There is something called the Lugano convention, signed by UK and Norway, making British judgments enforcable in Norway. In effect, it makes Norwegians subjects of British libel law when they use social media. No one is aware of this. Huge hole in the rights Norwegians have to freedom of speech
Much respect for all that your doing and have done for Bitcoin, so much support from the community. Keep the faith my friend and keep on fighting the good fight we are all with you and will do whatever we can from a distance. Was so satisfying to see you prevail although I see your getting ready for Norway and U.K the light always out shines the darkness keep on keeping on hope to meet ya someday!
Does the court system there have any built in safe guards to prevent being used as a weapon? For example punishment for frivolous lawsuits. It's quite obvious that the court system is being used as one man's personal cudgel to attack his enemies. I would think the court would not be happy about that. Or do they not care?
Hoping for the best for you and others being harrassed by faketoshi.
