Perfectly happy to see all the centralized support crutches kicked out from under another poster child for fake decentralization rhetoric. Let's see how they do after they have to eat that dogfood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, not just for dessert.
- Canada 4y agoAgreed. As expected, Github has deleted it. Glad I cloned it all before I wrote any replies in this thread. Edit: Authoritative AWS nameservers have now stopped resolving tornado.cash.
- nootropicat 4y agoWhat do you expect to happen? Centralized service have better ux, so it makes sense for most people to use them - but nothing about ethereum or tornado requires them. People will only use their own nodes, tor and/or ipfs if that's the only solution that works - but as long as public rpcs like infura and normal domains aren't censored there's really no reason to (for a normal user, not a dev etc). What's important is to keep that potential open, of course.
- throw123123123 4y agoSure, but also note that force was the only thing able to stop it - turns out the use case is there.
