pull down to refresh
If we treat it that way, it must be used perfectly or not at all.
Still feeling weird about Open Sats.
Right! So let's believe them at face value and they just forgot to renew it. They suffered reputation loss for letting the canary expire (at least they did with me and sounds like they did with you too) which is exactly why they shouldn't have had the canary in the first place. Because without it, there wouldn't have been a problem.
I understand that it is totally relevant to people that had to doxx themselves for receiving some sats. But... it doesn't help. They have your data. A subpoena won't be prevented by it. Them cooperating won't be prevented either, nor will them getting hacked. You lost all your financial privacy the moment you sent them that W9; not when you read that the canary didn't refresh.
I'd recommend against canaries. Better to spend energy on figuring out ways to not doxx your trading partners.
I still think about your comment in the discussion about OpenSats letting their canary expire last December (#1334028) -- probably more often than I should.
For a canary to be useful, it seems that we must treat it with deadly seriousness. If we treat it that way, it must be used perfectly or not at all.
