One thing I didn't like about myself, is that I got into sterile debates mostly with monero or samourai people.
We are all in the same boat, it was stupid of me. Everyone is free to use whatever privacy tool they want as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of another.
Instead of fighting we should face the problem together, I apologize if I have offended anyone at any time.
Without privacy there is no freedom.
Dont worry, It is fine having some little fights inside the Community, we all need to recheck sometimes our privacy set up. Merry Xmas!!!
Agree with Don. Healthy debate is good. Many issues would be missed by the larger community if they were not raised.
Larger picture, we are in a war, and in any war you use whatever tools you have available to fight for what is right.
just remember one of the strategems of the enemy is confusing us about the identity of the enemy
monero people are irritating, they are completely blind to the auditing problem
the coinjoiners are also very irritating no matter which of the factions you look at, because fundamentally they all have errors in their game theory that weakens the actual purpose of the exercise
probably the solution exists in another domain waiting for a polymath to stumble on it... the mechanisms of AI's simulation of human memory seem like an area that should be examined, as it is stubbonly nondeterministic
just as the solution to a decentralised, unbreakable history was found with bitcoin was remarkably simple, so will the privacy problem be simple
there is a saying about art, it's not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away, that the masterpiece is complete
I reckon Bitcoiners are irritating too, and I include myself in that 😂
We can debate the merits of approaches but if SHTF you’d rather be standing next to a Monero-bro than some .ETH tard. At least he’s probably gonna have a 3D printed gun stash and some homemade nitro handy, more useful than some monkey JPEGs and lambo posters.
i'm not sure that this level of paranoia is healthy any different to the day glow psychedelic happy land of weferiums either
not gonna make friends with crazy people
friends are optional - you don't have to be friends to do business, just follow protocol
satoshi didn't need friends
Once you leave the maxi mindset and open yourself to the messiness of life it becomes an easy problem solved by hedging. The only tool you need is called "trading". And we have created DEX and atomic swaps that will assist you in seamlessly going from BTC to XMR and back.
With 0.25% of your BTC stack you can fully hedge in XMR. It's a very small price to pay for the best privacy at the cost of "some" auditability.
Yin and Yang, BTC and XMR are like the black (private) and white (transparent) aspects that make live go round. One can not exist without the other for a longer time. It's all about different trade-offs and upsides/downsides and constant rebalancing. No life without frequency.
Maximalism is not compatible with life processes. Maximalism is an interesting theoretical concept, but it describes an unstable condition.
There is no auditing proplem in Monero. The supply can be checked at any time to 100 %. It is far more complicated math than in bitcoin, but just because it is harder it doesn't mean that it is not possible.
is it easy enough to enable state channels to process tens of thousands of transactions per second?
Nothing to apologize for, friend 🤝
We are all passionate about freedom money 🗽
You have always been more open-minded than most even when we disagree. You have never gotten ugly or blocked. We probably agree on 99% of things
Don't apologize for being right.
