The HonkHonk Story: Bitcoin vs. Canadian Government
summary
HonkHonk Huddle raises 1.3 million dollars in Bitcoin (over 21 BTC) to fund the 2022 Canadian trucker convoy but a rushed setup uses a single on‑chain address, no post‑receipt coinjoin, and an oversized multi‑sig quorum; a software bug forces key consolidation and RCMP confiscates 30 percent seized into legal escrow. Actual tooling that worked or would have helped: BTC Pay Server, Lightning via Voltage, Sparrow coinjoin, Nunchuck 2‑of‑3 multisig and local peer‑to‑peer distribution.
