I knew this day would probably come, but didn't expect it so soon.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

To install nodeless on your own server, you can get started here:

Wait a minute - bitcoin is not money, so you have to pay taxes from it, but on other side, it is money, when it comes to illegal money transmission. Nice.... Goog luck with that stupid rules.

Just because "they" say it is illegal, makes you think the laws are there to keep the plebs under. Anything we will create for a better life making "them" irrelevant, they will make a NEW RULE: yes we have to make that illegal for no logical reason at all, blaming everything for "Your protection"...

We always knew its was coming but its still sad to see Canada do this. Wish there was some way we could help 🫂

Wait wait - so could you mount a defense that, in the eyes of the government, bitcoin isn’t money? There is no value being transferred? Plenty of evidence that they don’t!

How does "accepting btc payments" equal money transmitter?

Sorry to hear that, keep up the good fight and protect yourself! But it doesn’t come as a surprise that this happened in Canada, because it is fully controlled by the families and banksters who control the British Empire (which was only renamed to “Commonwealth” without actually changing wha...
