  “Security by obscurity” is very much an end user “i don’t need to harden my server/accounts because nobody would bother hacking me” attitude and is really is “dumb as fuck”

  But KYC is just expanded due diligence before providing services, thats why I thought it as privacy issue as to why someone would be against it as opposed to it security wise.

  I still don’t see how you’ve gotten from that to “nationally enforced security by obscurity” though

    Instead of implementing systems that are not vulnerable to attack, they are just removing the people who know how to attack.

      I think we fundamentally disagree on these ideas, and that’s ok.

      “Implementing systems that are not vulnerable to attack” is an impossible task. And passing KYC legislation doesn’t preclude anyone from hardening their system and I didn’t read any signs that the government plans to leave any of its systems unhardened.
