They provide all sorts of metadata to the state (expected). But they also "scan" incoming mails to detect abuse. They say it's necessary to keep their "good" reputation because otherwise their service would be (mis)used for anonymous mass sign-ups in third party social media sites.

They didn't accept Monero for years, which is a red flag in itself.

Glad we have better options than (proton)mail.

Got a mission darkness faraday bag for my phone. 📱

I’m looking to buy one of these kinda things. Are there #bitcoiners here that make similar things?

A lot of the really rich, powerful men in tech wear hoodies, like Mark Zuckerberg. It's become almost a "tell".

Always funny to see them take pictures in front of a group and everyone else is wearing business casual like polo shirts or a button-down, and they're agressively hoodying like that guy in the meme.

I didn’t see any BTFD posts in my feed.

Are we still buying the dip or has the plan changed into waiting for ETFs to do something? 🙃

Just a heads up for those of you who shout "shitcoin!" when I mention Monero, and at everything that's not Bitcoin.

**Cashu** is **eCash**. **eCash is not Bitcoin.** eCash is a cryptocurrency that was forked from Bitcoin Cash, which itself was a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain.

**Fedimint** uses Bitcoin and eCash tokens (referred to as fm-BTC or fm-sats) within the Fedimint system.

"The money "fm-BTC" held by the user are actually "digital bearer certificates" or "eCash notes" stored on the users phone."

eCash was developed by the Bitcoin ABC team, the same group that created Bitcoin Cash.

I urge you to get over any parroted monolithic toxic BTC ideology you may still be holding to.

eCash/Cashu likely has its place as a more private, non-techy custodial solution on top of BTC, though it does come with very real risks of custodial rugpulling and malicious actors.

It is NOT Bitcoin.

Monero doesn't need a second layer; it's time tested and private by default on a protocol level.

Stack sats, test L2 solutions, use Monero.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

You don't need to and no one will force you to do so. It's a voluntary thing. Some of us store all value in BTC some store more value in Monero than BTC. It all boils down to individual risk vectors and assumptions that are unique for everyone.

Personally I am looking forward to use Ecash based on Monero as in trusted environments it will provide the best privacy user experience one can currently have. I know I could do so via atomic swaps already.

For all the talk about #cara and disallowing #ai from scraping our content, I haven't seen much about how #mastodon and other fediverse apps deal with this.

Is Mastodon content able to be collected for training AIs? Is there some configuration to stop it specific to each instance? Is there an easy way to check and find out?

How is that a smart move for the debt buyer?
