比特幣開發者會見活動人士討論隱私和自由工具

人權捍衛者本週在奧斯陸自由論壇上會見了比特幣企業主和開發商，討論如何最好地開發比特幣相關工具

Bitcoin business owners and developers met with human rights defenders at the Oslo Freedom Forum this week to discuss how to best develop bitcoin-related tools for activists and vulnerable populations around the globe.

比特幣企業主和開發人員本週在奧斯陸自由論壇上會見了人權捍衛者，討論如何為全球活動人士和弱勢群體最好地開發比特幣相關工具。

“Bitcoin has the potential to, in a very practical way, help people who we refer to as high-risk people,” Mogashni Naidoo, a bitcoin user experience (UX) researcher at the Bitcoin Design Community, said in her presentation at the conference. “I believe that in creating these applications, we need to connect with the humans actually using [them].”

比特幣設計社群的比特幣使用者體驗(UX) 研究員莫加什尼·奈杜(Mogashni Naidoo) 在會議上的演講中表示：「比特幣有潛力以一種非常實用的方式幫助我們所說的高風險人群。 “我相信，在創建這些應用程式時，我們需要與實際使用[它們]的人類建立聯繫。”

During her presentation, Naidoo described her process of interviewing the users of the products, such as bitcoin wallets, that she and her team design before even conceptualizing what the product might look like.

在演講中，Naidoo 描述了她採訪比特幣錢包等產品用戶的過程，她和她的團隊甚至在概念化產品外觀之前就設計了這些產品。

“If we come up with solutions before we really understand the problem, then we’re only hypothesizing,” Naidoo added.

「如果我們在真正理解問題之前就提出解決方案，那麼我們只是在假設，」奈杜補充道。

Seth For Privacy, the Head of Marketing and Strategy at Foundation, a bitcoin hardware wallet company, takes a similar approach and came to the conference to gain a better understanding of what activists need when it comes to bitcoin.

比特幣硬體錢包公司 Foundation 的行銷和策略主管 Seth For Privacy 採取了類似的方法，並來到會議上，以便更好地了解活動人士在比特幣方面的需求。

“It’s really invigorating to have these conversations,” he told Bitcoin Magazine in an interview. “They help us to see problems that people on the ground are having that we don’t notice in the Bitcoin Twitter bubble or the places where it’s just Bitcoiners congregating and talking.”

「進行這些對話確實令人振奮，」他在接受《比特幣雜誌》採訪時說道。 “它們幫助我們看到人們所面臨的問題，而這些問題是我們在比特幣推特泡沫或比特幣愛好者聚集和交談的地方沒有註意到的。”

Seth For Privacy, an advocate for privacy in bitcoin transactions, as his pseudonym implies, also mentioned that the conference reminded him to keep privacy front of mind when designing new products.

比特幣交易隱私倡議者 Seth For Privacy（化名）也提到，這次會議提醒他在設計新產品時將隱私放在第一位。

“Seeing people who actually need bitcoin as freedom money is the best catalyst for us to think more deeply about bitcoin privacy, to assess where bitcoin privacy is right now and the ways we can make it better,” he added.

他補充說：“看到那些真正需要比特幣作為自由貨幣的人，是我們更深入地思考比特幣隱私、評估比特幣隱私現在的狀況以及我們可以改善它的方法的最佳催化劑。”

Privacy In Focus

隱私焦點

Privacy in bitcoin transactions was a notable theme at the event.

比特幣交易的隱私是這項活動的一個顯著主題。

In the wake of the U.S. Department of Justice arresting the founders of Samourai Wallet, a privacy-focused bitcoin wallet, many at the conference were worried about the future of such technology.

在美國司法部逮捕了注重隱私的比特幣錢包 Samourai Wallet 的創始人後，會議上的許多人都對此類技術的未來感到擔憂。

Anna Chekhovich, Financial Director at Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, expressed her concern on a panel.

阿列克謝·納瓦尼反腐敗基金會財務總監安娜·契訶維奇在小組討論中表達了她的擔憂。

“If the chilling effect on Bitcoin developers grows, it can damage freedom fighters globally,” Chekhovich said.

契訶維奇說：“如果對比特幣開發人員的寒蟬效應加劇，它可能會損害全球的自由戰士。”

Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer for the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), the organization that puts on the Oslo Freedom Forum, stressed that HRF has long been committed to helping preserve privacy for activists.

舉辦奧斯陸自由論壇的組織人權基金會 (HRF) 首席策略長 Alex Gladstein 強調，HRF 長期以來致力於幫助保護活動人士的隱私。

“HRF’s focus on Bitcoin has always included privacy,” Gladstein told Bitcoin Magazine in an interview. “It’s been very foundational for us, because activists get spied on all the time.”

「HRF 對比特幣的關注始終包括隱私，」格拉德斯坦在接受《比特幣雜誌》採訪時表示。 “這對我們來說非常重要，因為活動人士一直受到監視。”

He went on to share how HRF has funded projects that help preserve bitcoin transaction privacy, such as ecash protocol Cashu and bitcoin desktop wallet Sparrow Wallet.

他接著分享了 HRF 如何資助有助於保護比特幣交易隱私的項目，例如 ecash 協議 Cashu 和比特幣桌面錢包 Sparrow Wallet。

“We’re very proud to have supported a lot of privacy technology over the years,” Gladstein added.

「我們非常自豪多年來支持了大量隱私技術，」格拉德斯坦補充道。

The Challenge Of Educating Westerners About Bitcoin

對西方人進行比特幣教育的挑戰

A number of the speakers at the event were from the Global South — a term that encompasses Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia — or under authoritarian regimes who shared how they intuitively understand bitcoin because it provides financial utility and access that traditional monetary and financial systems in their respective countries don’t.

活動中的許多演講者來自南半球（這個術語涵蓋非洲、拉丁美洲和東南亞）或獨裁政權，他們分享了他們如何直觀地理解比特幣，因為它提供了傳統貨幣和金融體系的金融效用和准入在他們各自的國家卻沒有。

This was in contrast with some of the attendees from Western countries—jurisdictions governed by democratically-elected leaders that have highly functional financial systems—who still struggle to see the need for something like bitcoin.

這與來自西方國家的一些與會者形成了鮮明的對比——西方國家由民主選舉的領導人管轄，擁有強大的金融體系——他們仍然很難看到對比特幣之類的東西的需求。

“It’s even harder to educate in Western countries than in African countries or elsewhere where people get bitcoin very quickly because they need a tool that helps them to send money in and out the country or have the freedom to pay for something that maybe the government doesn’t want [them to pay for],” Crack The Orange and Bitcoin For Fairness founder Anita Posch told Bitcoin Magazine in an interview.

「在西方國家接受教育比在非洲國家或其他地方更難，在這些國家，人們很快就能獲得比特幣，因為他們需要一種工具來幫助他們將錢匯入和匯出該國，或者可以自由地支付政府可能不支持的東西。

Posch has traveled to a number of African countries including Zambia, Zimbabwe and Ghana to teach activists and everyday people alike about bitcoin. She hosted multiple sessions at the Oslo Freedom Forum in which she shared her knowledge about how to use bitcoin privately, while consistently highlighting the fact that bitcoin is a critical tool for activists.

波許曾前往尚比亞、辛巴威和加納等許多非洲國家向活動人士和一般民眾傳授比特幣知識。她在奧斯陸自由論壇上主持了多次會議，分享如何私下使用比特幣的知識，同時不斷強調比特幣是活動人士的重要工具。

“It’s very, very important to get the message around that Bitcoin is a tool that enforces human rights,” she told us.

「讓人們知道比特幣是一種執行人權的工具，這一點非常非常重要，」她告訴我們。
