Hi, Can anyone from OpenITP please explain to me how it is acceptable to force everyone to show ID at a CryptoParty? I am *extremely* disturbed by this news, especially regarding USAID funding of OpenITP's event and regarding the notion that this was occurring in Tunisia.
Was OpenITP organizing this Cryptoparty as an intelligence gathering operation?
