Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport
Keonne built software and is being housed with murderous animals like Karmelo Anthony.
Neither the knife manufacturer nor Walmart was held liable when Anthony used a knife to kill.
Why are software tool builders liable? Zero "criminals" that allegedly used Samourai arrested.
Silent Payments, Reusable Payment codes, Stealth addresses - none of them make your payments “untraceable”.
They merely mitigate address re-use which is a worthy goal but the marketers will amplify AI slop posts to convince you otherwise
In a startling discovery, I found out that there were improved privacy tools out there for Bitcoin I had no idea about that were being actively used in totalitarian regimes despite app developers sitting in a cage.
I sure hope I learn this secret tech.

@gladstein “Disagree”. Yet no justification.
Devs literally arrested that provided a way of getting forward privacy for Sparrow Wallet users.
Peer to peer coinjoins. Eliminated too.
Let’s pretend it didn’t happen.

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help.
Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now.
For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck.
Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now.
If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us.

@rapidlab309 I hate to be a party pooper but this embedded persistent memory is a deal-breaker for our security model; also unfortunately no gain in display-able QR code dimensions 😕
