I’m approaching 9 months of uptime 😂

He leaves out a lot and recieved much deserved criticism when this video dropped that he never addressed or ammended.

More comprehensive video outlining Monero pros and cons with a bitcoin maxi and someone more knowledgeable about Monero there able to provide pushback. All in good faith (not saying your video isn't I just think he isn't as well informed) and lighthearted with a lot of good info.

I would say thats because the pi4 is not able to handle the current amount of transactions.

I don’t know how good the pi5 can handle the traffic but that’s why I upgraded my node some months ago

Do you have a guide for it, specifically for the Raspberry?

I use this: https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/PiNode-XMR

There is a telegram group too, there the project maintainer is active.

Appreciate it

But how did the CSS wallet get drained?

Not determined yet, but based on the 2 devices where the seed was stored, one being a Windows 10 device, my guess is that the seed was somehow compromised.

Problem is they can’t trace it… since it’s Monero 😂

Bad opsec or inside job.

Would like to give the benefit of the doubt, but we'll probably never know for sure.

Silverlining - this has sparked a lot of conversation and change how CCS proposal funding is done that minimizes trust in the holders (multisig) or straight up don't require them at all (direct funding from community):

I'd prefer the latter and like this proposal
