Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the indictment and pre-dawn raids of Samourai Wallet developers. On this dark & historic day we announce the beta release of RoninDojo v3.0.0 and are proud to take a step forward for privacy-first Bitcoin tooling. 1/6 🧵👇

🚨🚨🚨There is a major flaw in the BRCA of the proposed Clarity Act: (d) CLARIFICATION OF TREATMENT explicitly states that the protections in subsection (c) DO NOT EXTEND to (or "modify the application of") 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(C) for a specific subset of conduct by an "initial person." 18 U.S.C. § 1960 prohibits operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Subsection (b)(1)(C) covers cases involving the transportation or transmission of funds that the defendant knows are: (1) Derived from a criminal offense (e.g., proceeds of fraud, drug trafficking, etc.); or (2) Intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity (e.g., funding terrorism, further crimes). This is the exact 1960 subsection now being used to target developers. Every builder and developer knows their tool could be used for nefarious purposes. Under this law, that knowledge alone is enough to send you to prison for years. There is NO PROTECTION for developers in the Clarity Act while this carve out remains.

While testing @RoninDojoNode, I can't stop thinking about how much @keonne and @SamouraiDev have impacted me thanks to @SamouraiWallet. #FreeSamourai

While the Tor Project seeks ongoing community support, it has remained silent on #FreeSamourai. This stands in contrast to @SamouraiWallet ‘s history as a strong supporter, including a $50,000 donation and native Tor integration across its tools. #pardonsamourai

This is a much bigger deal for Bitcoin than the CLARITY Act. Click the link and easily submit a comment.

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help. Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now. For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck. Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now. If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us. - Keonne

The Clarity Act is not a future priority; it is the priority. Every corner of the industry is operating under legal uncertainty that Congress has the power to fix. The Senate needs to act.

Hello world! Please give a warm welcome to @SamouraiWallet, the newest member of the Tor Project Membership Program (torproject.org/membership). Thank you for demonstrating your commitment to keeping Tor strong and improving privacy online!

To be clear, there's nothing new for Bitcoin in the Clarity Act. It will simply continue our right to hold private keys and use the Lightning Network, which are already covered under existing law. The Clarity Act is for cryptoblockchain and dollarcoins.
