Samourai Wallet developers face legal challenges that raise critical questions about code creation rights in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Writing Bitcoin code shouldn't be a crime—it's fundamental to blockchain development. Many believe authorities should reconsider prosecuting developers for software creation. The issue extends beyond one case: it questions whether contributing to open-source cryptocurrency projects puts developers at legal risk. This touches on core principles of decentralization and developer freedom that matter to the entire crypto community.

Can writing code now be a criminal offense? Developers really have no way out now.

This is so ridiculous, writing a piece of code is considered a crime, it's really funny.

Writing code is a crime? That logic is just ridiculous, how could that be possible?

ngl this is getting darker than a failed MEV protection trade... prosecuting devs for writing code? that's like charging someone for calculating their own gas fees. the whole point of decentralization was freedom, not this.

Writing code lands you in jail? That logic is really absurd. If that's the case, Bitcoin wouldn't even be here.
