Hypothetical Privacy / Censorship Question:
I buy tallow soap from Soapminer (npub1zzm…w5wy) using btc (which I have and it is a great product).
My payment is permissionless and uncensurable. But if the government where soap miner is located decides that anyone who makes and uses tallow based soap is an enemy of the state they can stop the flow of tallow soap by persecuting the maker and also go after previous customers who ordered tallow soap (now that they have addresses of previous shipments).
First time this occurred to me. For physical goods a permissionless payment rail is 1/2 the battle. Same as the Silk Road. Is my privacy/security from the government as the one who ordered the good just in the fact that it would be a pain to track me down?
Or is there a anonymous way to get a mailing address to receive physical goods to make the other 1/2 of the transaction permissionless / private (or at least a way to maximize privacy / uncensorability of the delivery of the good).
