He will ask for the same thing if BTC go to 1$ per coin 😅

Any word on if this affects personal servers or community servers? I can't find explicit language on the matter from that documentation. That's a big sticking point for me going forward.

Is it about the token? No

Is it about them not wanting to use Monero? No.

It's about who the investors are and how they talk about complying with the rules.

It's about understanding who's behind it all. They've recently received a massive investment from this parasitic globalist elite. Did you read my old post carefully?

We need to look beyond the obvious; we need to understand what's being left unsaid but is actually happening.

You need to read all three layers of information.

Connect the dots you see.

They want to have stablecoins.

Anyways, it doesn't matter because most of the users don't have large groups and they won't pay.

In response to the SimpleX proposal to add server monetization through EVM smart contracts:

This is really not that insane. You can still use third party volunteer run servers for free or your own and I'm seeing no reason to assume that you can't continue to do so.

This monetary model could very well work to inventivise a larger server pool and thus greater anonymity set. My main concern is if having to hold the access NFT in a EVM wallet would be a metadata leak, or they will do some sort of ZK proof mathematics to disconnect the data link between your messaging and that EVM wallet.

This is fundamentally different than Signal's scam with their shitcoin in which they premined a coin that they proposed people use as p2p cash. Many Bitcoiners aren't reading the details, and are instead proposing that they'd just use lightning or ecash over a smart contract platform. They made extremely agreeable counterarguments for both: lightning sucks self-custodially and ecash is always custodial. Monero clearly wouldn't work either due to confirmation lock and inability to program contracts on chain, which they'd need to establish payout amount, and micropayments which I'm ASSUMING is how this will work. We only have the announcement, we should wait and see the details.

This monetization model is being seen in other projects like Session or Nym. I'm theory it really can be superior to the volunteer run server model I.E. Tor which almost certainly sees massive centralization of node operators by state intelligence. The only other model I see as a success in maintaining decentralized node running is something like i2p in which the client node is the same as a routing node. Unfortunately for mobile applications this isn't reasonable due to not being able to run in the background 24/7.

Not every crypto project wants to be number go up ad infinitum like Bitcoin. There are greater utilities for the smart contract blockchain system. It's worth hearing our their detailed proposal and auditing the code instead of flipping shit over "shitcoinery".

Cakewallet shouldn't be trusted. Sometimes incentives change.

It's good calling them out.

>>> then you as a peaceful Agorist could get these coins and get in trouble because LE sadly are much powerful than you as an individual

Before accepting USDT, check the wallet address to ensure you do not receive stolen coins and avoid potential problems in the future.

>>> I know I may sound an anti-agorist by all this

Being an agorist does not mean being stupid. LE is obviously stronger than me, so in order to protect myself in advance, if I have to trade with a stranger, I will check their USDT and if they are stolen, I will refuse to do business with them.

There is nothing anti-agorist here, either in voluntary trade or in voluntary non-trade.

I can weigh the potential risks and ask for a bigger discount for these USDT if I decide to accept them. This is an additional risk that I could theoretically expose myself to. This is all market simulation, and if I get arrested and they refer to this post — again, this is market simulation.

>>> because of someone doing bad we stop using a good technology in a good faithful way.

But this is a voluntary choice made by an individual at a specific moment in time. In other words, even if people were being shot in the street for owning Monero, would I still use XMR? Yes, I would. Why? Because I want to. :)

>>> the main issue with USDT or any on-chain smart contracts like USDC and others is that they are not really fungible pretty much like BTC and all other visible chains, which means if you use physical cash to do the trade you are much more safer than doing it USDT way but that comes with it is fees by doing your way you are saving on % as i understand which is good but at the same time very risky

USDT has taken over the world. Not just the crypto world, but the real economy. For example, I know there are businessmen who trade wholesale spices around the world. They're usually in poor countries and have zero trust in the banking system, so all their transactions are USDT-TRC20 (on Tron).

The potential problems behind USDT are much, much greater than the lack of interchangeability. But the market (voluntary human activity) accepts (consciously or not, it's hard to say) all the potential problems of USDT-TRC20 in order to have a "bank in their pocket".

When USDT collapses, it will simply be the biggest crash in crypto history, which will also have a very strong impact on the real economy.

Unfortunately, most people are too lazy to learn something new, which is why they use USDT.

If you explain all the disadvantages of USDT and, for example, all the advantages of Liquity (LUSD) to a large spice trader from a poor country, another problem arises: all of his business partners use USDT-TRC20, and here a new challenge arises — to convert his partners to LUSD, but their partners also use USDT-TRC20, and so on...

In an ideal world, they would all use XMR and enjoy the benefits of XMR, but we do not live in an ideal world.

>>> but trying to understand the human nature better because at the end of it all the human aspect is a big part in this equation

This is often more important than the best or even perfect technology. :)

>>> I understood that the world is harsh and hard to live in, but as you stolen that hard earned money by scamming. couldn't you think that this poor person worked hard to earn it faithfully ?

These people have a different mentality. So, I don't think they think about it. Just always be ready to resist and fight back.

>>> and that you as a subhuman scammer you give the LE more reasons to make everyone's day to day life even harder ?

That's right. If you think about it, LE is actually the most ineffective and useless "service", with a negligible success rate in solving crimes, and no one would tolerate such a low level of inefficiency in a free (as in freedom) market, and such a business would have gone bankrupt long ago, but since the state has a monopoly on this "protection" service (law enforcement), there is nothing you can do about it.

Also, no law enforcement agency cares about inefficiency. They only care about high-profile cases that can have a political impact on their bosses. And if you (the taxpayer sucker) have your 3000 EUR bicycle stolen in modern Europe, no one will give a shit about you because you are a taxpayer sucker and you have no influence and cannot demand your taxes back for the forced retention of LE.

>>> just questioning this led me into philosophy, psychology and into Agora at the end

Welcome. It's always nice to see someone who consciously chooses this philosophy. :)

>>> and sorry if I couldn't deliver what i wanted to say in a good way as my english language is not that good

Everything's fine! I understood you perfectly. My English is far from perfect. Use DeepL.com, it's a very good translator.

⚠️ Alby “hack” means that your email is doxxed.

Fuck.

it isn't whataboutism you inconceivable moron.

if I was changing the subject and asking you "well, what about your credit card" it would be whataboutism.

I'm not.

I'm inviting nostr to point and laugh at you for randomly thinking Bitcoin should be considered "private" because there's a rando on the internet who doesn't know which UTXOs are yours,

when we literally NEVER believe other things are private under that condition.

Another guy had his money stolen. This happens every day, but not all cases get as much attention as this one.

>>> this poses a high risk on anyone that wants to use OTC

How?

>>> he will ask the LE to help him recover the funds which most likely will result in adding the Tron address to all AML programs we all know

It doesn't matter. If the entire chain of people acted quickly and converted USDT into something that cannot be blocked at the smart contract level, these guys won.

>>> defeating the purprose of using this technology in the Agora spirit because of a few bad apples that are scum and lowlife stealing this man's and his wife life savings.

Why? How?

Can the same be said about the inventor of the axe? If not = why not? Do you understand how absurd this can be? In other words, because someone was drunk driving today and killed a person, we need to ban all cars in the world.

>>> lo and behold the poor Agorist will fall a second vicitm to the those lowlife scum inhuman thieves

Improve your technical skills + profiling skills so that you are not scammed.

Before attempting to protect and save the entire world, first take care of yourself and your family so that you and they are not deceived. You will not be able to protect and save the world anyway.

Don't deceive the free (as in freedom) market and people. Befriend them and create agorist p2p connections to deceive and circumvent the state together.

[ a quick agorist OTC/p2p tip ]

How to use Zcash to get Monero without KYC? 🤔

1) Buy USDT-TRC20 with cash without KYC;

Most likely, you will receive "bad" USDT with a bad AML score, and if you send it directly to a centralized exchange, the exchange will block it.

2) Go to "Near-Intents(dot)org" and log in using any wallet you like that is supported by the platform;

3) Get the USDT-TRC20 deposit address and send USDT there;

**At the moment**, regulators have not forced the implementation of AML scoring into Near Intents, so take advantage of this.

4) Swap USDT ➔ ZEC and then withdraw ZEC to Zashi wallet (to the t-address), and shield it immediately;

5) Then split the ZEC amount (without dust) and send it preferably to different Kucoin accounts;

Fully KYC'ed Kucoin accounts can be purchased on the free (as in freedom) market for ~100 USD in XMR;

Yes, XMR is available on Whitebit, but I do not recommend this exchange because it may suddenly ask you where you got your money from, and if you do not provide what they require from you, your money will simply be stolen in the name of holy democracy.

6) Send ZEC to Kucoin (without dust), as soon as ZEC arrives = sell ZEC/USDT and then buy XMR/USDT

More agorism = less statism. 😘
