Good riddance. A lot of people here defended the living hell out Tornado. Hopefully this will change your mind but somehow I doubt it.

- monero-xmr 3y agoWhy would this change my mind? They created Tornado, government said it was illegal a year ago, now they are arrested. I still think having a panopticon watching all financial transactions is bad, and cash should not be outlawed. I also think watching all my internet history is bad, so I use tools to hide that above and beyond what the default legal protections are, because I don’t trust the government, ISPs, and adtech data miners.
- JohnFen 3y ago> cash should not be outlawed Good news! It's not.
- ShamelessC 3y agoYeah like what does that even mean? I don't even care to know the answer at this point.
- monero-xmr 3y agoThe government would absolutely ban cash if they could, because it’s anonymous value transfer. Tornado enabled bearer instruments - cryptocurrency is digital cash equivalent - to be anonymous. The government obviously hates this for the same reason it hates cash.
- JohnFen 3y ago> cryptocurrency is digital cash equivalent It's legally not, though. That may be the fundamental disconnect in the two viewpoints here.
- Ar-Curunir 3y agoYes, because the government only prosecutes people who do “bad” things.
- ShamelessC 3y agoIt's for laundering. The notion that it's for privacy is to get hordes of suckers like you to defend them on the internet.
- Ar-Curunir 3y agoI mean, I work on privacy-preserving technology, so I think I know what I'm talking about technically.
