From Manifesto to Surveillance 👁️

1993: Cypherpunks publish privacy manifesto
2009: Bitcoin launches with the promise of financial freedom
2025: Blockchain analytics firms turning your crypto transaction data into profit

Somewhere crypto took a wrong turn.

Zano restores the cypherpunk vision: Private electronic money, anonymous transactions, and hidden balances. 🔒

Enjoyed listening to @BitcoinAnja and @BobMurphyEcon (InFi) on each others shows. Great conversations.

You bout should consider having @AaronRDay on to discuss privacy crypto and stablecoin implications.

Ionic Swaps are the backbone of the privacy DEX found at https://t.co/Y5t5rHVKaG.

Ionic Swaps: Private On-Chain Swapping ⚡

Most on-chain swaps expose all transaction details publicly: addresses, amounts, token types, and swap history. Anyone can analyze your trading activity.
Ionic Swaps enable private token swaps on Zano. 🔒

Atomic Swaps vs. Ionic Swaps 🔄
Traditional atomic swaps require multiple steps that give one party an advantage, while exposing everything on public blockchains.

Ionic Swaps simplify this into a single transaction where both parties are on equal footing, with complete privacy maintained.

How It Works 🔧
Both parties co-sign a single transaction to swap between native $ZANO and Confidential Assets such as $BTCx, $ETHx, or $fUSD.

🔹 No custodial risk
🔹 No swap history exposed
🔹 No third-party involvement
🔹 Complete privacy maintained

Swap $ZANO and Confidential Assets without exposing any details. Fast, private, one-transaction swaps. ✅

I thought I was listening to you two describe Elon and the push for Doge. @courtenayTurner @AaronRDay

Next Monday, @rwx_cloud will be launching the biggest evolution in container technology since the release of Docker’s BuildKit, which is now over 7 years old.

Docker changed how applications are deployed. Containers bundle system dependencies with application code, providing a portable image that can run on any generically configured server.

Unfortunately, building container images can be painfully slow and inefficient. Too many engineering teams are hindered by a CI/CD pipeline that takes 10+ minutes to build and push images before even the smallest code change can run.

The sluggish performance impedes human productivity, and it stands in the way of unleashing agentic coding.

Until now. We looked at the problem from first principles and built an entirely new platform for building container images. It is up to 10x faster and produces the same Docker images that everybody runs today.

Join us on a Zoom call on Monday November 24th to be one of the first to see it 👇

@blockchainchick Zano for me. Great ecosystem.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

To avoid a repeat of last night’s shellacking in the 2026 midterms, Republicans should:

quit covering for pedophiles

put America before Israel

put farmers before corporations

quit funding wars abroad

reduce spending to control inflation

quit attacking independent voices

MAHA = technocracy, not medical freedom.

Centralized government databases with health information + wearables is not medical freedom.

Even if you believe it is a good idea because you trust the people currently in charge, it will be weaponized against you in the future.

[Ken Barker @kEND]

Bridging BTC to BTCx is easy using @EdgeWallet and @zano_project. Why bridge to the Zano ecosystem?

You think your crypto txns are actually private? A Zano <-> Zano txn or a Zano <-> BTCx trade. Complete opacity. No custodian, trustless. Upgrade tokens and join me on the DEX.

[Ken Barker @kEND]

Trust the system all of you conservative voters. The next R candidate for thespian in chief will be antiwar. (During the elections, of course.)

[Aaron Day @AaronRDay]

Technocracy is spreading faster than a Republican will trade liberty for security.

Use cash.

Try it. Try it for a month. Convenience is ushering us into tyranny.

@Idolojood You're welcome! Jesus saves.

[Ken Barker @kEND]

@AaronRDay Any listeners, I've stepped through some of these steps. Happy to connect on matrix if you need help or want to chat about these topics. @kbarkend:https://t.co/sknnFUjkqG

[Ken Barker @kEND]

@CourtenayTurner @AaronRDay Hopefully soon there will be a place to chat that isn't YT or x or rumble.

[Ken Barker @kEND]

@CourtenayTurner @AaronRDay Where do most people comment? (and thanks)

[Ken Barker @kEND]

@DK_Able I still like Thomas Massie, but I’m not an interesting fellow.

@TaraBull808 Yes
