I understand you. But Singapore isn't really some isolated extreme... 27 countries still have the death penalty for cannabis offences, and arrests, raids, crop eradication, and imprisonment of (home) growers are anything but exceptional.
That's exactly what I'm trying to show with my projects. I think many Western cannabis enthusiasts live in a bit of a bubble, unaware of how brutal prohibition still is in much of the world.

IMO @npub1jt5…zwrd It's pretty clear you're speaking from a "western world" perspective. It's easy to ask "does anyone care if it's legal?" when your biggest concern is corporate weed replacing artisan growers.
Meanwhile, in much of the world, people are still being arrested, imprisoned, and even executed over cannabis. I agree with your criticism of corporate legalization, but you're overlooking how brutal prohibition still is for millions of people.

2026-11-08 14:45:16 GMT

- reply

Yeah. I fully agree that current legalization, along the lines of Canada or the US, is essentially state/industrial capture. Thats why my index focuses more on individual freedom and growing your own.
But legality still matters a lot. In places like Singapore, people can literally be executed for cannabis trafficking. So while I agree that legalization doesn't necessarily mean freedom, there's a huge difference between a corporate monopoly and facing prison or even death over a plant.

It's interesting how different anarcho-capitalism seems in American and European circles. European anarchism has a long history of questioning both state and economic domination. American ancaps often seem focused only on the state.
Maybe that's why the idea of network states is so appealing to them. Escape the old state, build a new one where they can finally be free. They imagine a world without rulers, but somehow always leave room for themselves to become one.

This is why open social networks matter more than ever. When anyone can create anything, discovery becomes everything. We can't afford to leave it in the hands of a few platforms controlling what we see.

AI is making software abundant, but discovery remains broken. The problem is no longer what we can build, but what we can find. We're solving the scarcity of creation while deepening the scarcity of attention.

Early 2000s piracy gave a whole generation its first real taste of a permissionless internet. Chaotic, free, and beautifully uncontrollable.
We used to download things from complete strangers, share everything, and give zero fucks about permission. Today we rent access to everything through corporate platforms and call it progress.

I envision a global network of small, autonomous communities scattered across remote places, interconnected through decentralized technology, trade and mutual aid. Living laboratories of a different civilization. Growing food, producing energy, building tools, sharing knowledge, experimenting with voluntary cooperation or cultivaitng a strong anti-domination culture.
Today, there's nowhere on earth truly beyond the reach of nation-states. These communities wouldn't be fully free, but they would preserve and develop the social DNS of a future civilization. Maybe those seeds will eventually grow into something much bigger here on Earth. Maybe on Mars. Maybe somewhere we havent imagined yet.

Maybe waiting for the general population to wake up is part of the trap. People are conditioned to see the current system as inevitable, and even their rebellions often reproduce the same hierarchies.

Just as people don't buy tomatoes on the black market... the tax burden is set at just the right level, making it the most rational choice from a market perspective to simply pay the tax.

2026-10-18 17:01:18 GMT

But that is not the case yet. It seems that prices for legal cannabis are generally lower than those on the black market. Cannabis is extremely easy to grow (much like tomatoes), which gives large-scale producers a massive advantage
And the data confirms this: 75% of the cannabis in Canada today comes from the legal sector. For people to start returning to the black market, the tax burden would have to increase two-to threefold, to the level of tobacco.

# "Not Yet Named Conference": A Manifesto
We build with quantum computers but coordinate with centuries-old models. Our technologies evolve exponentially while our social structures remain locked in the past. Representative democracy, nation-states, corporate hierarchies—these aren't natural laws but historical solutions to obsolete problems, now creating crises we struggle to comprehend.
The threat to freedom technology isn't only external regulation—it's self-capture. The internet wasn't crushed by governments; it gradually captured itself through governance bodies, platform monopolies, and standards organizations. FLOSS communities, cryptocurrency projects, hackerspaces—all face the same gravitational pull. The pattern repeats: liberation technology achieves adoption, institutions form around it, gatekeepers emerge, the original promise erodes. Our enemy isn't just the state or capital—it's our trained reflex to recreate hierarchy, our comfort with insider circles, our unconscious reproduction of the very patterns we sought to escape.
The problem runs deeper than overt control. Modern institutions don't just coerce—they disable. Educational systems produce dependence on credentialing. Professionalized services eliminate community knowledge and mutual aid. Industrial systems destroy vernacular competence—the informal capabilities that once enabled people to provide for themselves and each other. We become users, clients, consumers, dependent on complex systems we cannot inspect, repair, or truly control. You can be formally free yet structurally disabled. Liberation without capability is incomplete.
We have powerful tools but lack coherent alternatives. Free software advocates built remarkable technology, then struggled as projects corporatized or stagnated in governance debates. Cryptocurrency promised liberation from financial control but risks reproducing the same extractive dynamics. Privacy tools exist but adoption remains limited. We need frameworks that connect technical solutions to social transformation—linking FLOSS, crypto-anarchism, and mutual aid to questions that matter: How do we coordinate without reproducing hierarchy? How do we build systems that enhance collective capability? How do we create convivial tools—technologies that remain under community control, that don't establish monopolies by crowding out alternatives, that enable rather than disable? How do we sustain ourselves through cooperation rather than competition or institutional dependency?
This conference gathers those who recognize these challenges across political traditions. We explore sovereign infrastructure through mesh networks, self-hosting, and censorship-resistant systems. We examine economic alternatives from cryptocurrency and mutual credit to gift economies and commons-based production. We develop autonomous communication through decentralized protocols and federated systems. We preserve knowledge commons through shadow libraries and open access. We connect technology to practice—cypherpunk tools, anarchist organizing, institutional critique, cooperative economics, convivial design. We build parallel structures providing what states and corporations monopolize, but through solidarity, shared knowledge, and community control. We share methods for security and privacy against both surveillance and capture. We experiment with consensus, do-ocracy, and fluid organization—coordination models that resist permanent authority. We recover the capacity for collective self-determination.
This conference offers no manifesto demanding signatures. We gather people asking difficult questions. The event itself demonstrates what's possible—coordination without corporate sponsors, without hierarchy, without gatekeepers, without becoming an institution ourselves. If we can't organize a conference this way, how will we reorganize society? Every choice tests whether our principles work in practice or reveals where we unconsciously reproduce what we oppose. We organize through do-ocracy where authority comes from contribution, never permanent. We protect radical privacy. We make everything forkable and replicable. We resist creating insider circles or permanent leadership. Each iteration dissolves completely. The goal isn't reforming existing structures but building convivial alternatives—human-scale, horizontal, capable, commons-based.
This isn't just a hacker conference or just an anarchist gathering. It's a space where different traditions—FLOSS culture, crypto-anarchism, left-libertarian thought, autonomist movements, appropriate technology advocates—can find common ground in shared practice. Where we stop debating theory and start building alternatives. Where we recognize that whether you arrived through reading Bakunin or Rothbard, through using Tor or organizing a housing co-op, through writing free software or running a community kitchen—we face the same challenge: building systems of genuine self-determination that resist capture.
The future isn't something that happens to us—it's what we build together. This invites everyone who understands that our biggest obstacle is our own tendency toward institutionalization. Who sees that technical freedom without social transformation is insufficient. Who's ready to experiment with coordination models that don't recreate what we oppose. Fork this. Improve it. Make it unrecognizable. Build the world it describes.

The retroactive funding was more for future years, when it is established. For a start, it is necessary to count on donations, especially from organizations - and they need a bigger and more comprehensive vision to give money.

+ meet anna and her library IRL
+ open-source everything
? retroactive funding - attendees pay after based on value received
? "I work for evil institution" badges - optional but encouraged if you're at government/Google/Meta/whatever and wanna make clear you're here as a human
? speaker lottery - submit talk proposals, random selection prevents "known name" bias and commercial gaming

Something like abstracting all the problems around running something like that and the implications in the real world. Think about each part and make it as permission-less and trustless as possible. For example, one of the main problems of BTCPayServer is holding a volatile asset/converting it to fiat, which almost everyone needs. This could be automatically hedged into a stablecoin through DEX, and it wouldn't be such a problem for the merchant to hold it (without volatility) or convert it to fiat as they need.

Even if people were offered a cheap Raspberry Pi with a BTCPayServer that would use some external RPC, it would still be much better than the current situation.
Maybe it would be better to write your own implementation, throw away the BTCPayServer that has a lot of baggage on it and do it modern, agnostic, modular. With AI it wouldn't have to be so complicated

2026-01-08 20:20:43 GMT

imo, BTCPayServer is great, Ethereum has nothing like it. But it's clearly not enough, why?
If centralized solutions prevail also in payments with retailers, then its very similar situation to the Lightning Network ecosystem, together that really looks like systemic failure of the Bitcoin architecture. Looks very strange.
If there's one thing I believed about Bitcoin, it was that it could help with IRL payments adoption, because Ethereum definitely doesn't have a focus on that. What's wrong?

2026-01-08 20:06:03 GMT

- reply

Well, in this case, there is a solution - your own BTCPayServer.
The question is, why does even such a passionate Bitcoin company like SatoshiLabs need intermediaries for payments? Doesn't this go directly against the philosophy of Bitcoin?
I understand that Confirmo is used by Alza and others, but aren't these bitcoin companies the ones who should be leading by example? Especially when there is such an emphasis on payments in bitcoin

Well, that's good... but I don't really know what to think about it. I've made hundreds of payments on Confirmo and I've never seen this before, it's a strange coincidence that it happened now after 1/1/2026, just when this stupid DAS8 which solving exactly this came into effect.
Maybe its coincidence, theoretically crypto payments without an exchange (when the merchant receives crypto directly from the intermediary) should be excluded from this. Maybe it depends on the amount (I tried about 100 USD)... who knows. The uncertainty is maybe worse
We'll see what the experiences of others will be over time.

2026-01-08 15:36:59 GMT

- reply

Yeah, it's pretty stupid. You have no idea before you pay that you'll have to go through something like this... a bit of a trap. Luckily, you can get around it and request a refund, but it's annoying.
I've only tried it once so far (since January 1st), and it's possible that it was triggered only by my address (but it worked before). However, whatever it is, I don't trust Confirmo anymore and even if there was a 10% chance that this would happen, I'd rather avoid it altogether.
I hope Trezor switches to its own BTCPayServer ASAP because that's the only way to avoid this. Also Alza, Qerko, ... it would deserve a big push from local bitcoiners

That's the screen before payment - for a real test you would have to actually send the money, that's what I wrote in my post - they want the identity info AFTER payment

Made-up identity: I haven't tried it, so I don't know exactly what the next steps are, but according to the regulation, some kind of identification number such as a tax number is also required. These verifications are done by external companies that have processes for this, so it probably won't be that easy to fool them
Phone number: I didn't see it in the form, it's not in the reporting, so probably not

2026-01-08 14:38:00 GMT

Yes, that's right, bitrefill doesn't use a centralized intermediary and wallet-to-merchant-wallet payments are not regulated yet (nor is there a timeline yet).
I use Bitrefill often myself, but it's not very convenient and unfortunately there aren't many e-shops there. But yeah, vouchers and cash... those are our last methods of maintaining privacy in the context of payments in the EU.

2026-01-08 14:07:18 GMT

@npub1lz8…h86s Trezor also uses Confirmo as crypto payment provider, does this mean that if someone (EU citizen?) orders your HW wallet using crypto, they have to do automatically KYC? That sounds really stupid
I hope that's not the case, but for that Trezor would probably have to have some kind of exception with Confirmo? Thanks for the clarification

2026-01-08 14:03:58 GMT

Ok, so the situation where you can pay anonymously with cryptocurrencies on a lot of EU e-shops and services is over, because they mostly use centralized intermediaries, such as Confirmo - and they are subject to the new DAC8 regulation from January 1st
It's a bit of a trap, because these centralized payment gateways will let you pay with crypto, and start asking for your personal information *after* payment.
Czech bitcoiners tried so hard to get a lot of businesses in the Czech Republic to accept Bitcoin, including Alza.cz, the largest local electronics retailer.. now it's all useless without KYC. After many years, we are entering the next phase, where bitcoin payments are no longer usable, except for a few fan cafes and small, insignificant businesses. 😥

I always wished that Bitcoin and Ethereum communities could interact and learn from each other. Especially in the Czech community, where I have been more active since 2018.
As a person interested in Ethereum and progress, and at the same time a person who likes Bitcoin, cypherpunk, I have constantly tried to talk to bitcoiners. I even organized the largest Czech-speaking cryptocurrency conference for 1.2k people in 2022 to build some bridges.
But it turned out that bitcoiners don't want much interaction. Instead, they wanted saylorism, bitcoin-only mentality and monoculture. All this is embodied in BTC Prague and exported to the whole world.

"locked" usually means "provided to some protocol", not not locked in the sense that you couldn't operate with them

I agree that the classic seed is outdated, Shamir definitely makes sense.. Yubikey is durable and will last a while, but I'm not sure about the phone/computer. Paper often lasts longer than today's computers or phones :)

Uniswap hits $1 trillion in trading volume in 2025 👏
trustlessly, without centralized middlemens, without KYC....
Quite incredible, I still remember the first time I traded on Uniswap in late 2018... back then AMM sounded like magic ✨

You don’t need to justify wanting privacy.
You need to question why others want access.

We need both: cryptography to protect individuals AND transparency to check those who build and control the systems

You're worried about installing a cleanup tool that's transparent about what it does (open-source), while you've already been running god-knows-what software (proprietary probably) that's scattered files everywhere without asking?

So, are you really recommending a blockchain that has the last block in the explorer a month ago and has this graph?
Unfollow. You are clearly completely disconnected form reality.

Well, every software needs a fundamental change from time to time to stay relevant or functional.
Yes, it's been almost 3.5 years since the transition to PoS (the merge) and no major problems, I think it's proving to be a good alternative to bitcoin mining, which has its own problems.
The idea of unified "community values" breaks down when communities reach the scale of Bitcoin or Ethereum. Both have people with very different worldviews and opinions on how the network should develop. Being a btc or eth (maximalist) doesn't really say much about your values nowadays.

Nearly 24 years ago (2002), I created an account on https://nyx.cz - one of the first social networks I ever joined.
What's remarkable is that nyx.cz still exists today, unchanged despite decades of technological evolution, preserving that chaotic, early-internet atmosphere and rare vibes. I grew up on this.
BTW, je tu někdo na nyxu? :) #czechstr

I think you don't have enough information. Ethereum takes privacy very seriously and is moving towards it. We have pse.dev, there are many ecosystem projects that address privacy, such as aztec.network, railway.xyz, and we are trying to get privacy to the first layer. Tornado Cash, despite governments trying to ban it, is still running. I personally founded web3privacy.info, now there is a large community pushing this agenda.
Most Monero people I know appreciate the progress Ethereum is making.

Ad Bitcoin design - When you want to do something complex (like a decentralized financial system), it makes sense to start with a limited minimal design and then iterate to what you want to achieve. Bitcoin could have become turning-complete, or a turing-complete L2 could have emerged instead of Lightning. In my opinion, the bitcoin community gave up on this path too early and radically, and that opened the way for Ethereum.
But yeah, you are of course right, the fact that anyone can deploy any smart contract (or create a new market) is the basis of the deviance, these things are very difficult on Bitcoin.
btw, big things can be done at the protocol level too, the switch from PoW to PoS was one of the most fascinating things I have experienced in crypto :)
