Live this show
Hmm... Yeah I tried and it failed to established
On this we agree.
Stablecoin hype is gay and 🫡
When LN is 3% and XMR is 35%... Guys that's an entire order of magnitude more volume...
LN self custodial UX needs to get better.

* **Fresh Codebase** Unlike many cryptocurrencies, Monero was **written from the ground up** to prioritize privacy and anonymity, avoiding the pitfalls of being just another Bitcoin clone.
* **No Premine:** Monero did not have a pre-mine or instant mine, promoting a fair launch where coins were distributed equitably from day one.
* **Layer One Privacy:** Monero integrates privacy **at the protocal layer**, meaning all transactions are private by default, not merely an opt-in feature or dependent upon a second layer.
* **Fungibility:** All Monero coins are indistinguishable from one another, ensuring **true fungibility**. This means you don't have to worry about the "taint" from previous transactions, as each coin carries no history.
* **Confidential Amounts:** Transaction amounts are **obfuscated** to thwart tracing by amount.
* **Dynamic Blocksize:** Transaction volume is not restriced by an arbitrary cap, ensuring your transactions are processed quickly and inexpensively.
* **User Experience:** Monero offers an **intuitive user experience** where privacy features are **automatic**, requiring no extra configurations or knowledge.
* **Wide Acceptance:** It's **accepted by many online vendors** due to its privacy and fungibility, offering users a practical option for transactions where privacy is paramount.
* **Cost-Effective Transactions:** Monero's transaction fees are typically **lower** than many alternatives, making it appealing for users mindful of costs.
* **Stealth Addresses:** Monero employs **stealth addresses** to cloak the transaction's destination, ensuring that the receiver's wallet address remains private.
* **Ring Signatures:** Each Monero transaction is obscured within a group of others, making it nearly impossible to trace the true source or destination of funds. ***Because this is a weak point in Moneros default privacy, this is being improved to include every transaction that has ever occurred rather than just hiding in a crowd of 16.***

* **Open-Source Development:** Monero benefits from **over 240 developer contributions**, funded by community donations, ensuring transparency and community involvement.
* **Future-Proof Privacy:** Monero's development roadmap includes **enhancements for quantum resistance** to stay ahead of potential future threats to privacy.
* **Network Invisibility:** Monero's Kovri project encrypts and routes transactions through the I2P Invisible Internet Project nodes to protect your from network monitoring.
* **High Security Encryption:** Monero uses the **Ed25519 elliptic curve,** providing robust protection against theft with cutting-edge cryptography.
* **Store of Value:** While not as widely recognized for its value retention as Bitcoin, Monero's focus on privacy means users gain genuine utility rather than speculative value.

The problem with the FB algorithm is you're still using FB in 2025 💀
Lol, Xi or Putan weighing in regarding the sovereignty of a small piece of land. Something odd about that.
Chose*, not code lol... Didn't code anything.
I meticulously code my server for my home using Flint router based on what gave me maximum download bandwidth.
Latency isn't great though
If you're gonna use hops, might as well use Tor IMHO. I don't see the point otherwise since Mullvad is running the servers. Seems like an increase in latency for not much benefit.
As for locations to stay away from, no idea. Rule of thumb is latency shoooould be better if the location is as close as possible. So for me that's Hong Kong or Singapore. But the Great Firewall of China fukcs things up so that my latency is generally trash. I actually route my home through Switzerland.
YES.

Best set-up is to go router level VPN for your home network.
Use a based router like Flint 2.0 made by GL.iNet and it's integration is seemless.
rust vs c++ #codingstrIsn't rust preferred because it's memory safe? Not a coder but I feel like some additional context is needed no?
I'm curious how an abstracted language like python would fair
Yes and yes
I made a guide just for you.

And zap his post. Dude just lost his normie job.
My I worked as a cook for a few years. It's a grind. I feel that. And busiest times are the times normal people are out with friends... Wanted to go out Friday or Sat nights... Nope, restaurant is packed and needs you.
bearblog.dev allows you to blog with them. But everyone will see the name bearblog.
Mine eg is expatriotic.bearblog.dev
But if you buy a website domain, eg I own expatriotic.me which I use for receiving emails "myname@expatriotic.me", you can route your bearblog to that domain. I did this and now if you go to expatriotic.me you arrive at my blog expatriotic.bearblog.dev
