#Monero using #libertarian who loves computer networking, distributed systems, privacy tech, and testing beta software. I may not be a pro, but I can file a mean bug report. Donate Monero (XMR): https://kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/zzn3/ Annual Expenses: 59 XMR 42WimCbGoy5SVZfkr5YdwtAg9jvpxFfNXfBjM2CJAUZC9JNAKZ34hF6a35HJNXWyw1ctxhSKp4MjfgR3uT8Eneq4GCwtqTs https://smp15.simplex.im/a#P99yLk0Wm9o1qks_M4uuf5cTqz8mua9QhyaByz2gIR8

Watching governmyth thugs fail to suppress human freedom puts a great big smile on my face.

#Monero

But you should use permissionless money to buy things you have permission to buy if at all possible just to show that you don't want permissioned money.

#XMRBazaar and MoneroMarket would beg to differ. Monero can actually be used as a currency on layer 1.

big oil: Mr. Liberland congressman, please pass this law and take this compensation

Liberland Congressman: okay

*same day*: new congressman elected and law never got passed

big oil: Well, political donations there are totally useless.

I find it interesting that his guest basically knew nothing about the fact that every big dark net market has completely abandoned Bitcoin. Like it takes five minutes or less on dread to figure that out.

Binance delists Monero, price takes 4 months to recover

Kraken EU delists Monero, price recovers in 5 days

It doesn't surprise me that,

SimpleX is under attack by corrupt liar Wired:

"Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat"

https://www.wired.com/story/neo-nazis-flee-telegram-encrypted-app-simplex/

What DOES surprise me is the reaction of developer Evgeny Poberezkin,

Here's the quote from the article:

"And Poberezkin believes that the current limitations of his technology will mean these groups will eventually abandon SImpleX.

“SimpleX is a communication network, rather than a service or a platform, where users can host their own servers, like in Open Web, so we were not aware that extremists have been using it,” says Poberezkin. “We never designed groups to be usable for more than 50 users and we’ve been really surprised to see them growing to the current sizes despite limited usability and performance. We do not think it is technically possible to create a social network of a meaningful size in the SimpleX network.”"

This is surprising because Evgeny told us that groups could scale by reducing the reliance on a single invite link, so anyone could enter via any group member or "super members".

In fact, even from his own tweets, just 2 days prior:

"We agree that once group can scale, they will help growth."

This is the danger of doing cypherpunk stuff, with government money venture capital and registered LLCs. At the slightest push from the mainstream media, he changes his tune.

I like Evgeny. He's a good guy. And I DON'T blame him for trying to stop his company from being associated with bad actors. But we need to be honest here, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be a cypherpunk, but collect the paycheck of a corporation.

What he should have said to Wired is: "This technology is like the printing press. It improves our lives and offers all of this freedom. But once it's made, the inventor can't control what people say. Do you really want to live in a world without the press, Wired?"

You can see firsthand that big groups actually do work. Take the Monero or Haveno Reto rooms as an example. They are both over 600 people.

Saw domains being taken due to cyberattack. maybe C&C via hidden service with embedded tor.

at one point my store discount was nearly 12% and yet i didnt get a single order. #Monero

Primarily, the sections near the bottom about binding arbitration and stuff.

Well, if people were smart, they would never leave money on an exchange ever. I always view an exchange as a public toilet. You get in, you do your business, and you get the fuck out. You don't hang around in a public toilet, and I feel like that's what an exchange is basically.

to the best of my knowledge the only CEX i know of besides Kraken US is gate.io Everything else I'm aware of is either crypto to crypto or one of those instant swap providers like fixed float.

Feb 2024: Binance delists #Monero, drops 30%

October 2024: Kraken Europe delists #Monero, drops 12%

Next will be Kraken US i bet. It will be interesting to see if it drops even less.
