New here. I saw that Cana-duh .gov targeted a Monero wallet address. My guess is they intercepted it because privacy and all... but what can we do to bypass Trudeau and show some love for freedom? This is why I bought Monero years ago. I knew this crap would happen one day.

<honk-honk[m]> "New here. I saw that Cana-duh ...." <- How did they target it?

Mumuks: Not sure. Here's the sauce: coindesk.com/policy/2022/02/16/cana…lets-tied-to-trucker-freedom-convoy

honk-honk[m]: I see. In the Monero case does not sound enforceable

honk-honk[m]: Sounds like ATMs are drained and banks are having "issues" nitter.net/search?f=tweets&q=%23bankruncanada&since=&until=&near=

honk-honk[m]: This isn't due to a vulnerability that I can tell, Monero seems to be sound. My guess is someone intercepted a text or social post.

I'm on the givesendgo hack but used privacy.com and a VPN. Been looking for a copy of the .csv file just to see how my data came out. lol. I don't have any MSM social media. Just a privacy tard I guess. Thought I'd share!

Welcome aboard, dear honk honk privacy tard.

at least Canada has an actual xmr address on their list. Didn't OFAC have just a payment id?

yes.

I guess that is enough to get your average crypto user in trouble as they might donate directly from the exchange

possibly, yes.

<honk-honk[m]> "Not sure. Here's the sauce..." <- Yeah thats not much of an issue with monero. You can still use other addresses to send/receive funds without those funds being tied to the sanctioned original address.

This situation really makes me appreciate the hard work the monero team is doing.

That's why I fell in love with Monero when I discovered it. There's so much complexity in it to make it private that I just had to appreciate the sheer amount of hours people have put in to make it work. And innovations keep coming, it got p2pool just a few months ago.

It's one of the few projects, and to me the best, that tries to create the eCash of the future. Bitcoin is traceable and not fungible, that's not cash, that's electronic money that's traceable like the one we use today.

And the irony is that in the presentation post of Bitcoin, Satoshi said Bitcoin was eCash... Nope, not anymore. Monero is.

I guess deep down I had hope this was a theoretical exercise for a lot of people. Something nice to have that you'd hopefully never need. If you had warned me 5 years ago about the canadian government freezing your bank account for protesting I probably would have said go back to your conspiracy online forum.

But as it turns out we will most likely need monero sooner than we'd like.

<honk-honk[m]> "This isn't due to a vulnerabilit..." <- The address is publicly posted on a trucker support page: twitter.com/mano_crypto/status/1494…54048?s=20&t=q1JRu1sjEooHXolybFKWhA

That's the beauty of Monero -- you can post a simple static address for donations without revealing info about every transaction associated.

Hahaha loved the video, awesome
