If you’re headed to Vegas, plz be safe 🙏
Reminder that Vegas can be a dangerous place even if you’re not a bitcoiner and norms are different there- esp for females
Facial recognition is much more advanced in large US metro areas
There are cameras (mics too) on you at every moment- act as though that is the case
-Practice clean opsec
-Leave your hardware at home
-Only bring spoof wallet + spend wallet: buy, spend, replace
-use a spoof email that protects your real email- don’t give out your home address EVER
-SimpleX has a super easy to share device local QR code 1 time link w/ rotating identities- communicate using E2EE and wipe it all after the conference
-Pick a nym for the weekend and stick to it, discard that nym afterward
-Routinely check your bags for trackers- Apple air tags are commonly attached to women in airports- don’t accidentally bring a tag along to your hotel
-Do not wear bitcoin merch… that’s a target on your back
- Use only your own charger and run private relays/VPNs on your device
*Protect our privacy devs*- reduce people showing up in the background of photos
Practice consent- asking if you can take a picture goes a long way for people who are used to having their photo snapped non consensually. If they say no, I promise it’s not personal.
