I want to use both, at my desk I prefer the cable and in bed I use the stand. At my desk I prefer it because I have to use my phone from time to time and I don't want to stop charging just to send a quick text or something

I wonder why projects like OpenNIC doesn't get more traction within hacker communities ​:nko_think:​

First Major Fork

This critical update significantly improved security and privacy by fixing vulnerabilities that were inherent in Bytecoin.

Monero Gains Mainstream Attention

As awareness about privacy concerns grew, Monero's adoption soared, establishing it as a leader in secure, private transactions.

5️⃣ December 2018

Bulletproofs Implementation

This upgrade reduced transaction sizes and fees by over 80%, making Monero more efficient without compromising on privacy.

6️⃣ March 2019

Monero CLI v0.14.0.0 Released

Included a new PoW algorithm, RandomX, aimed at discouraging ASIC mining to keep mining democratic and accessible to more people.

7️⃣ November 2019

Triptych Research Published

A proposal to further enhance privacy, Triptych aimed at improving scalability and transaction speed by reducing the size and verification time of ring signatures.

8️⃣ 2020-2024

Community Growth & Regulatory Challenges

As regulations tightened, Monero's strong privacy features faced scrutiny but also drove significant discussions about the right to financial privacy.

9️⃣ 2022-2024

Looking Forward

As we celebrate these incredible 10 years, the future holds promising enhancements, including potential updates like Full-Chain Membership Proofs or Seraphis, which could revolutionize privacy tech further.

I'm testing this #FlorisBoard as a replacement for Gboard on my phone. And what's awesome is - it does work with #FUTO Voice Input. So I can have voice typing without requiring any online services. And without having to click through menus each time I want to use it. Awesome!

You can find both of these open source apps in the F-droid app library.

The expected behavior for LN users is to use LN; the proposed case is for hybrid customers choosing to pay onchain, replenishing their LN wallet with the change, and adding inbound liquidity to the merchant

Like the dream is the message? 🫂

Had a dream that an ex wanted to get back together. I told him no cos I like to keep moving forwards, and it wouldn’t have been right. Instead I set him up with a really wonderful girl - sure she turned into a big fluffy dog at the full moon, but she was still far too good for the plonker. I said goodbye, warned him to be kind to her or I’d have words - only joking though, didn’t plan on seeing him again - and watched as they walked off into the sunset, hand in hand joined by his dad who suddenly appeared and gave me a sad little smile. I was genuinely happy for them 🥹

Then other stuff happened and I turned into a mouse.

What then? They still can't see what is in the blocks so censoring is not possible and P2P pool exists which means some transactions will always get through.

A 51% attack is least effective on Monero and thanks to plenty of idle CPU it's the most easiest to fend off.
