#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.

We have different opinions on this, and I guess we shall just have to see who is right. Best of luck to you.

Oh, yes. That custodial lightning wallet really makes freedom go up. /s

What is Reticulum?

Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack for building both local and wide-area networks with readily available hardware, that can continue to operate under adverse conditions, such as extremely low bandwidth and very high latency.

Reticulum allows you to build wide-area networks with off-the-shelf tools, and offers end-to-end encryption, forward secrecy, autoconfiguring cryptographically backed multi-hop transport, efficient addressing, unforgeable packet acknowledgements and more.

From a users perspective, Reticulum allows the creation of applications that respect and empower the autonomy and sovereignty of communities and individuals. Reticulum enables secure digital communication that cannot be subjected to outside control, manipulation or censorship.

Reticulum enables the construction of both small and potentially planetary-scale networks, without any need for hierarchical or beaureucratic structures to control or manage them, while ensuring individuals and communities full sovereignty over their own network segments.

Reticulum is a complete networking stack, and does not need IP or higher layers, although it is easy to utilise IP (with TCP or UDP) as the underlying carrier for Reticulum. It is therefore trivial to tunnel Reticulum over the Internet or private IP networks. Reticulum is built directly on cryptographic principles, allowing resilience and stable functionality in open and trustless networks.

No kernel modules or drivers are required. Reticulum can run completely in userland, and will run on practically any system that runs Python 3. Reticulum runs well even on small single-board computers like the Pi Zero.

Compare this to meshtastic because I've seen a lot of both and they seem to do similar things at least as far as I can tell from like a 15,000 foot view. Maybe meshtastic is shorter range and therefore not for decentralizing the internet because of its 3 to 7 hop maximum?

I saw this one and it was extremely good and talked about Monero quite a bit. And if somebody like Amir thinks Bitcoin has been corrupted, it's a good bet to trust him.

I was not aware of this channel, so thank you very much for posting it. Also, I'm glad to see they are on Odysee

Well, as the Monero economy grows, what you will find is something we have not seen in a very long time called deflation. And yes, that means some people will not buy some things at some times, but your day-to-day necessities will be purchased no matter what. It's not like you can choose to not buy toilet paper today because it will be cheaper tomorrow. If you need toilet paper today, you will buy toilet paper today irrespective of the price unless it's just way out of whack, which it would not be.

i have heard good things about IVPN and Mullvad but have not personally used them.

one of the best possible ways to help the #Monero Circular Economy is by picking your favorite moving average and setting your item price in Monero directly using that moving average. Personally i like the 365 SMA because I can set a price and leave it set for 3 months and when I update it I only have to change the price by 1 or 2% in either direction. That may still be more than fiat, but its a very small relative shift.

monero does not have a fixed supply over time. it has a tail emmission that slowly increases supply over time to replace lost coins. Since that is slightly inflationary (though always approaching zero) that puts a slight downward pressure on price. Not much, but it does exist.

If I must choose a metaphorical hill to die on, then stabilizing #Monero price by pricing goods and services in Monero directly sounds like a pretty nice place to go.

Monero is also becoming well accepted on clear net peer-to-peer markets as well. And every item posted on the markets priced in Monero adds friction to price motion making it yet more stable

if countries are working towards CBDC's does that mean cash is a CBAC (Central Bank Analog Currency)?

I bought my #MoneroTopia24 virtual ticket a few days ago. Really looking forward to hearing from all the great speakers and getting a fresh dose of freedom invigoration. #FreedomGoUp!
