This week I guest lectured for the fourth time for Sheree Ip's class at Curtin University #Law 🤓
We walked through the #TornadoCash smart contract, discussing its ability to protect #privacy of transactions.
What's your take? Should #crypto mixers like Tornado Cash and #SamouraiWallet be banned?

A bunch of great people are offering help and vendors + hosts are (mostly) responsive to abuse reports for these #botnets. I'm still being targeted in the most personal way #Aisuru operators can. Most of that I'll talk about soon. Thanks esp. to @briankrebs.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy

💪 Strong growth in a month for privacysafe.social ! We soft launched 1 yr ago with a handful of accts, publicly announced Dec 2024, but really pushed in the last 30 days on marketing because we're building a #social layer for @privacysafe.social + @cakewallet.com ! Stay tuned 📺

We're seeing an uptick in signups and, more importantly, user activity at @privacysafe.social privacysafe.social this week 🥂 The sustainable growth model we've been building toward is on the horizon.
We want a #social community with consistent growth of active users. And we're getting there!
