In my opinion, the dark web should be used more than it is. If there weren't so many damn cloudflare sites, I would consider running all of my traffic over the dark web at all times. I'm of the opinion that absolutely every website you possibly visit should only have a .onion or .I2P domain extension.
Privacy and Censorship are interrelated, but different. Session is way better on censorship, due to transcending physical locations. Please see our article on how we use it: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/uncensored/index.html
On censorship, SimpleX uses government domains and is easily DdoS’ed. In fact, I can’t even publicly post about the attack vector.
I wonder if it's possible to use it as a hidden service only. That way you don't have a government domain. And you're also not giving up your machine's IP address.

I'm not looking to replace mine right at this moment. Because currently, my 10 year old laptop is still running alright. But it is 10 years old. So I figured I would at least glance around and see what I could find. I did find one that looks pretty decent for 1.6 Monero, though. So I guess that's not too bad. I would still have to install Linux on it myself, but that's not particularly hard. It would just be nice if it came by default.
Bank of Italy: P2P services are criminal

"In this context, the Bank of Italy raises specific concerns about services it defines as “crime-as-a-service.” One example cited is the website kycnot.me, which provides an updated list of P2P platforms operating without KYC checks."
According to the leaked video, all they can really do is run spy nodes. So as long as you are using a trustworthy node from the community, such as cake, or use your own node, your safe.
Okay, that's hilarious. I was looking at a review of one of those cheap HP laptops that's like 1.5 Monero. And the reviewer said that in Windows it's terrible. But if you were going to use it, he would just wipe it and put Linux on it.
Okay, it's been a very long time since I've looked at laptops and it looks to me like you're not gonna get much good out of anything less than 2 Monero. There are laptops that cost less but it looks like they would cause some issues with not enough storage or if nothing else the processor would be quite low-end. Just checking my Linux Mint install, for example, shows me that it's using 44 gigabytes of disk space. And that's without a whole lot on it. So 64 gig devices are definitely not a good idea.
I find I like SimpleX more than session. Part of that is definitely accessibility related. Since session is not particularly great for screen reader users. I also find the no permanant ID bit of SimpleX to be compelling. Thoughts?
The #Linux laptop segment isn't really serving the low-end of the market. The absolute cheapest Tuxedo laptop I found is like 3.25 #Monero and Framework and System76 are even higher. I see no Linux laptops in the below 2XMR category. Because I don't need much computing power on my laptop and because I don't use a laptop super often I'm honestly looking for something in the 1-1.25XMR area but am limited to buying Windows and installing Linux myself.
Seems like stability is actually what people want. Canadians don't mind having Canadian dollars. British people don't mind having British pounds. And Europeans don't mind having the Euro. But people in Egypt definitely want dollars because the Egyptian pound is a crap currency and inflates too quickly. Stability is something Bitcoin does not have because people don't price items in Sats. Because Bitcoin is too expensive and unreliable to be used as peer-to-peer digital cash.
The US military made the internet you're used to.
On the Government Internet,
A domain name that they own and rent to you, is pointed to a Single IP address.
This means:
Any random f*ck can see what website you're visiting based on what IP address you're connecting to.
You can try to hide this with a VPN. But then the VPN can see, and the packets can be traced by on-lookers. And Tor slows you down.
Instead,
With Arweave, you post directly to the blockchain, and get a transaction hash.
Then your Arweave domain name is pointed to this hash.
Once this is done, your content is served from ALL gateways around the world.
This means,
If manually (or automatically with tools I can build) a blockchain DNS look-up is done,
Then your VPN can NOT tell what content you're seeing, because ANY content is available on that gateway IP.
Here's my point:
Arweave is the PRIVACY of a 2-hop Tor, with the SPEED of Cloudflare, and the SELF-CUSTODY of Nostr.

You got me thinking about this a couple of days ago, which made me look a little bit more deeply into IPFS.
This is exactly where the market can step in and guarantee prices. As an example, I sell items directly for Monero, priced in Monero, and I use the 365-day moving average to do so. As I sell her, my service is taking on the volatility. And for that risk, I use the 365 day moving average, which means that in fiat terms, sometimes my items are more expensive, and sometimes they are cheaper. Either way though, in Monero, my prices do not change rapidly.
Gateio delisting of XMR is actually a good for monero
happy now?
This makes me so glad that Monero exists.
Seriously? I know that gait is not available in my region, and it won't even let me read the announcement because of it. What stupid shit is this?
Oh really? Finally that happened? That's fantastic news. I'm gonna go read the announcement now.
By the way, the YouTube video linked in your article says that it was taken down because the YouTube account hosting it had been terminated. I assume it was lunarpunk and the dark side of the cycle, but I'm not certain on that.
