Thanks for that reward, please let us know what you did in the end and what would be your advice for that question in the future.
100 sats \ 2 replies \ @purpurato OP 17 Dec \ parent \ on: Is ecash private enough for dark markets? privacy
The question was about ecash and its privacy features.
I don't know much about darknets because I believe as you said it's mostly for drugs and other stuff that I'm not into. But these edge cases do bring some important questions about privacy characteristics that money should have. There is no real freedom without privacy and a good form of money should allow individuals to transact without revealing what they do.
I don't do drugs but I am ready to defend your right to get high if you want to, it's your life it's your choice. Can ecash accomplish that?
When you get a Zeus or Blixt wallet you already have a node, you don't actually need to open a public one unless you want to act as a routing node. By opening channels to an LSP you can use their wrapped invoices and have an extra layer of privacy and keep your sats in self custody without opening another node.
That's my 2 sats
The answers to these type of questions, and I have lots of them, often lies within ourselves. You wonder why people do that, but most surely you engage in some sort of activity that others consider retarded, some quite common are drinking alcohol, over eating, spending money on useless gadgets...
I guess we all need some degree of retardness in our lives in order to not go nuts.
I also think distribution is skewed and part of the explanation is what you say about women in tech.
This is an interesting topic as there will never be wide adoption until women are into it and start raising kids in the new model.
I can take the other side of that bet, you can open it at

I guess what you mean by "legit" is what I call "by the book" , but we have been led to conflate legal and morally acceptable and those 2 things may differ a lot! This is the subject for another post.
I remember watching 8½ for the first time and thought it was an absolute masterpiece. I'm not sure it's still my first choice, I'll have to watch it again.

It's a great movie, but you can only watch it once, it's nerve wrecking.
Doesn't give any context as what type of character Summers is, for some context check the wiki or watch Inside job.
TLDR: He's a piece of 💩
You're right, they're no longer operating there. It's very simple and UX is good. You could use an lnbits instance and offer something alike yourself.
