I suggest, depending on your use case, getting a Mudi 4G router and a physical eSIM card (which you use to store eSIMs).

The Mudi allows you to change the IMEI. Coupled with different IMSIs from different eSIMs (and of course be mindful of when and how you activate them and be careful about not booting the router in the same location after changing the IMEI, or the switcheroo will be obvious.

You can also setup a VPN in the router itself (perhaps it would be wise to rotate the username as you rotate eSIM and IMEI).

Then, you let the Mudi do the cellular part, and you connect your phone via wifi to the Mudi, et voila.

This is much preferable, yes.

Doing this is a great way to get your KYC account blocked.

They will be able to tell you're coinjoining. They will deem you high-risk, and they will deplatform you.

lol dude, you're an ignorant idiot, just like all the other maxipads.

I've been in Bitcoin since well before the Silk Road days, chances are I know a lot more about it than you, and chances are I'm not HFSP.

Just so you know, many of the Bitcoiners from back when are also into Monero. Unlike your myopic NGU philosophy, we wanted true cypherpunk digital cash, and it takes an intelligent person about 10 minutes to realize Bitcoin as it has existed since its inception is not it.

It is, however, good for increasing one's purchasing power. But if you think that's sufficient, you're a fool.

All true, but at the end of the day, each man must rediscover for himself what it means to be a masculine man.

No one else can take that away, and no one else can give it back.

Don't believe the lies!

Yeah, but not the blue-haired, victim-mentality, always-angry, xanax-loving, feminist, misandric, holier-than-thou, oh-so-virtuous supports the current thing variety of white woman (which, to be fair, seems to be most of them these days).

The current thing is (was? 😁) leftism, and women are much more compliant and pliable in general, going along with what seems acceptable rather than sticking their heads out and going against the tide. Many tyrants seem to have realized this over the centuries and it has certainly been my observation as well (in general).

It's easy to rally them with sad stories of oppression. And it worked, for awhile.. that seems to be changing now. Or rather, the status quo is changing, so soon enough voicing leftist opinions will be what constitutes going against the tide, and all but the most blue-haired of them will sing another tune.

Nonsense.

I get what you mean, but for recent counter-examples, see Bitcoin and MAGA.

I'll leave it to the reader to identify the difference between the harpies screeching in unison and bottom-up grassroots non-identitarian movements.

NEW: The people with more than 1 BTC realize everyone can gossip and snoop on their addresses because Bitcoin is completely transparent, and they split their stash accordingly.

irony

/ī′rə-nē, ī′ər-/

noun

The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.

Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

The NGU mentality, right here.

This is the new breed of bitcoiner. Who cares about privacy and mass-surveillance, as long as it goes up when denominated in fiat!

Do you actually use Bitcoin non-custodially?

Not as a NGU inert digital rock, but as peer-to-peer digital cash as the whitepaper says.

lol that's cheap. How many O.G bitcoiners are rich beyond belief now? Why don't you dunk on them?

Fluffypony was involved with Monero from the start (or close to it, I don't recall anymore), and the project was successful, so he profited accordingly.

How is this different than anything else?

That is, of course, what they all thought, until gradually then suddenly, it was not so anymore.

You've also missed my deeper point, which is that your analogy sucks, as you're comparing apples to oranges.

That is clear in this case as well, since once thing is human languages, another is technology, which changes at an insane rate and evolves exponentially.

What takes 200 years in the domain of changing customs in usage of human language, might take 10 years in the domain of technology.

keep templates unbloated and don't run commands in them (besides dnf/apt and little else just for management)

keep backups

remember that while the computer is suspended, your encrypted storage (you did encrypt it right?) key is in RAM, and this can be recovered with specialized hardware, so shutdown the computer at appropriate times; Xen unfortunately does not support hibernation.

learn the qubes* and qvm* commands available from dom0 and (some of them) in vms (qvm-copy etc)

We can then extend this helpful analogy by realizing that lingua francas change over time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lingua_francas

.. in keeping with your excellent logic, it would then be logical to say that just as any one lingua franca's dominance faded over time, as English is sure to fade in time as well so will Bitcoin as the dominant cryptocurrency.

Of course, they can't do what they would like to be true, or what maxis would like them to do, or what is politically correct, or what sounds good.

They do what works, because it's their ass on the line.

And what works is #monero

I use it sometimes on desktop, but nym has better tech imo (the network itself, safing's desktop app is much more polished than nym)

Also, unfortunately for Android there is only a very old & unmaintained app.

Maybe now that IVPN acquired them, the Android app will see some love.

Both are really cool projects, that's for sure.
