what is the overlap between writing and/or using encrypted messaging software and running a cryptocurrency mining operation?
like, certainly i can imagine a lawmaker who is like "i don't think anyone should be able to do anything in private, ever" and pushes huge sweeping laws that target both and much more, but it's hard for me to imagine an actually-reasonable law that outlaws mining (again, running a for-profit business) that poses any threat to encrypted messaging.
