Writing and publishing code alone cannot be a crime. A well written response to the recent speech by the CFTC commissioner suggesting that developers who could âreasonably foreseeâ that code they write would be used in violations, should be held responsible. Makes you wonder whether kitchen knife manufacturers then also should be held accountable for all the events they could âreasonably foreseeâ their creations being used for...

Projects
Third timeâs the charm. Word got out of a new Mimblewimble project, apparently still in stealth mode. WOKE is 7 coins in one, claiming the spot for the worldâs 3rd-9th first Mimblewimble blockchain.

Swag
More TMGOX clothing was spotted in the wild at Devcon last week, as below. There are also special halloween editions available now. All profits from apparel sales are kindly donated to Grinâs development fund.
