The chaos congress persists each year as a view into an alternative world of technical co-existence. It’s inspiring to see so much creation.

More info on the ruling: The Fifth Circuit has found that Tornado Cash smart contracts do not constitute property, finding that Tornado Cash software is not covered by the IEEPA's authority. The court found that OFAC overstepped its authority by placing Tornado Cash on its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. The court found that while "OFAC’s concerns with illicit foreign actors laundering funds are undeniably legitimate," "perhaps Congress will update IEEPA [...] to target modern technologies like crypto-mixing software." "Until then," the court found, "we hold that Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts (the lines of privacy-enabling software code) are not the “property” of a foreign national or entity, meaning they cannot be blocked under IEEPA, and OFAC overstepped its congressionally defined authority." This is a developing story – we'll update both the article and this thread as we go through the information available 👇 therage.co/fifth-circuit-lif…

Happy 2024. Plenty of hard problems ahead, but entering the new year on an optimistic note.

Apple broke my phone while replacing the battery. Backed up before, so ended up being a good deal on a phone replacement - but if you see a new signal identity, that's why.

Fantastic keynote by Political scientist @tuba_eldem on the governance of cyberspace at the @priv_alliance event during #DevConnect2023 (here showing the overwhelming support in the global south for a move towards multipolar governance)
