Another argument in favor of living in a police state of rich blokes doing banking for mafia and dictators, which doesn’t need any surveillance because police already sees everything, and what it doesn’t notice, it chooses not to, and also it can legally bend you over when required. I mean, OK, nobody’s inviting, LOL.

I mean, seriously I like such news, every polity gets its turn to be a force for good.

There’s even been news of an attempt by a group of Swiss politicians to create a committee on Nagorno-Karabakh refugees’ return and future political existence.

And they are propping up Taler.

Just - I value this family of technologies for one main trait, it’s destructive to superficial authorization. As in - where in the olden days bot campaigns in social media could just work, possibly unnoticed, now you can be certain it’s mostly bots unless you can’t transparently establish connection to a person, backed by cryptography.

But OK, a public confirmation bot is good, especially if it talks in your Jura dialect unintelligible not just to me, but to most native German speakers.
