One of the most popular products online has become STL files to be printed single shot Liberator pistol, after the publication of which Wilson was having problems with the authorities.

In 2013, Wilson and Amir [Unclear] started to develop DarkWallet for anonymization of transactions in the bitcoin network.

In 2014, Creator Defense Distributed announced that it will run for the Board of Directors of the Bitcoin Foundation in order to “destroy” the organization. However, he did not succeed.

We will remind, in 2015, the research organization of the Open Bitcoin Privacy Project recognized the DarkWallet and Armory wallets are the safest.

However, in the following year, the development of Wilson and Taak dropped in the ranking to fourth place, losing to the Ledger Nano, BreadWallet and Airbitz.
