nNOOOO its actually BTC/LN/NOSTR-CASHU I will die on that hill
also a lot of narrative misconceptions from monero guys that distort things to sell their shitcoins (not all of them, but most of them). Great part of monero community is pure shitcoinery-like bullshit masked as "cypherpunk privacy activism".
Some of you are well intentioned (I was actually on of you the first year I discovered that "cryptocurrencies" exist) but too inexpert to put things in perspective and easily fooled by narrative distortion.
"If really bitcoin is bad and monero is the real bitcoin, then I can buy "the real bitcoin" at a discount price" - this is what a lot of monero guys subtly think (and what every shitcoiner think of their shitcoin).
I will stop to interact with monero people real quick because find it boring and there are a lot of things in bitcoin that merit more attention.
I hope you all will find your way, life will bring to all the reward for their merits.
Stupid people/scammers will have what they deserve and it will not being caused by the "blockstream conspiracy" or something else you can invent.
What a cop out. I sent you a transaction with an address that I use. So you should do that same to keep it fair. Not a "fresh generated" one.
Just admit you're wrong when you said Monero wasn't private earlier. You keep detracting into other thing that have nothing to do with it's privacy like "scalability" (scalable in what way? Surely $100+ transaction fees that continue to increase are not scalable)
You can't avoid exposing your addresses and balances even if it's just to the peers you receive and give Bitcoin to.
You shouldn't have to trust everyone who you send and receive money from.
You never consolidate any transactions ever?
You always coinjoin for every transaction?
Bitcoin can never be private, it's a transparent public ledger. You can temporarily be kind of psuedonymous though if you're autistically anal about every transaction and like paying a lot of money to do it.

the point is that the rule number one is not exposing your txs and dont make identity-correlations, is like I'm asking you for a monero view key. You can use bip-47, silent payments, lightning submarine swap, coinjoin... and never do address reuse. I said it is not so easy, sometimes expensive and a bit problematic. But monero is not a solution. Long tern is a shitcoin that will implode under his tradeoffs and economic incentive distortions. Short term you have the problem of enter in a pool of liquidity so small that makes trivial (for a chainal company that uses data from exchanges and swaps, not for me..) to makes correlation. Also, swapping in and out bitcoin will be expensive and more detrimental for the privacy, even with atomic swaps.
I think as tool could be used well for a short term privacy gain from expert individual (so individual that are able to be private even on bitcoin, but anyway could have thier use-cases...) but the long term economy of the shitcoin is doomed.
It would be a fresh generated address with nothing to see, so stop with this. Dont expose your data is the only real protection against privacy violation, and it is possible (a bit difficult and expensive) on bitcoin. Monero makes it easy, but all the user are called to pay the price in scalability of txs validation
So I'm also asking you to tell me the amount of bitcoin I interact with
I like brave as browser (mostly, much shitcoins and much bloat...) but I don't like the idea of solving dependency from google (chromium) with another company that packages the browser for you. To much possibility to be rugged as user; theres to little an individual can do to audit whats going on or fork it if necessary.
Mozilla is even worse in some ways, the only good thing of firefox is that is fully open source (from the engine to the telemetry...) and is easier to hack with and build your own version; as a user, I like to have this option in case companies want to do something harmful and a fork of the codebase is required.
On gentoo on a machine that build firefox in ~4 hours, chromium builds in at least ~15 hours, even a lot more in some configurations.
The resources neccessary to develop chromium are so much that to fork it (rebasing upstream on every release) it is necessary "another google" (like what microsoft and brave do).
Some "distributions" of "minimal-patched-chromium" exists, but they often are discontinued and they always feel they would need 100 more people working on just to keep up with most basic features and bugfix.
But chromium in the end seems "better"; more secure, more fast, more good than firefox.
I dont know, I think we really need better options for web browsing, maybe something integrated with nostr, bitcoin and with a "freedom tech" approach.
thanks, will test in different conditions and will report what happens
what web browsers do you use?
Even if mozilla is a parody of itself and firefox is a goofy project, I still use basically only firefox (or firefox-based) browsers;
on android is the only decent browser capable of running ublock origin, and on linux it is better integrated and light to build than chromium.
Also tor is the only option for some usages (like see your tx in mempool...) and it is firefox in the end.
Whats your take?

fantastic app! How is it intended to be used? Does makes sense to start the server ONLY when you are offline (or during a train travel where network problems are expected)?
Or is it better to run it even when the network connection is good (basically, keep it runs in background on every usage)?
What are pros and cons of the two approaches? 🤗
I'm happy with my life without #shitcoins and will mute every retarded shitcoiner from now.
bitcoin is private if you dont do address reuse, coinjoin, use silent payments... Its like I'm asking to see your monero viewkey. Monero has some protections to enable a better privacy, but it fails if in the block there arent much txs. It also fails in every other aspect. Still, I'm happy with my life without shitcoin and will mute all that retards.
message for when 1.0.0 will reached:
if you remeber using nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 from 0.1.1 zap this, you are a legend 😎
no, time is a good judge for every choice but you are too dumb for understand this concept.
Still, it is what it is, everyone could expect the future he merits based on how he has been retarded in their past choices, so pointless to continue discussing.
Good life🙏
strongly agree, its all about user freedom. Like when Moxie Marlinspike was try to justify why signal approach was superior to xmpp for example: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/
the real identity of nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6
so good luck, time will judge our decisions, its pointless to discuss.
I was talk about bcash in this example
so tell my how many sats I have, on chain or in ecash in the minibits mint. See? Seems that privacy works here.
