Anyone thought of this before?
Crypto gifts in the form of a brand new wallet address (seed phrase) that you deposit to, say $25, and give this out to family or friends.
You include instructions to transfer the funds into their own address, and if they don't after 6 months, you'll simply take the funds back.
This gives the opportunity for people to donate crypto, and if they fail to follow through with learning how to manage it, then nothing is lost and you can simply take the crypto back.
Thoughts on this?

You ensure you have MAC address randomization enabled for all WiFi connections on your GrapheneOS device, but you also are probably the ONLY person who queries the GrapheneOS internet connectivity check URL, making you stand out.

Thats what im afraid of. In meatspace, I act like a NPC and go with the flow to a certain extent. Online I'm the exact opposite.
Anyone else have that one friend that is so captured that you know wouldn't take your orange pill advice and risk your relationship in the process?

#opsec consideration:
You run an always on VPN or TOR connection on your GrapheneOS device, but you have an RSS reader that queries the same ~30 YouTube channels everyday at the same time, making you unique and identifiable. Are you exposing yourself?

Humans are always the weakest link
Nah, it's a valid question. If you run invizible in VPN mode, then you'll most likely being doing Tor over Tor. I don't think there is a good way on android.
Amethyst here. Haven't tried too much else. The blocking by keywords has kept my feed pretty clean for the most part.
So, hypothetically, if that VC wanted to stop you from using any open source project, all they have to do is donate?

'Careless People' Is the Book About Facebook I've Wanted for a Decade, but it is Banned
“Careless People, by Sarah Wynn-Williams, is the book about Facebook that I didn’t know I had been waiting a decade to read. It’s also, notably, a book that Facebook does not want you to read; Wynn-Williams is currently under a gag order from a third-party arbitrator that prevents her from promoting or talking about the book because Facebook argued that it violates a non-disparagement clause in her employment contract.”
Well of course now everyone will try to get hold of this book and read it. Nothing promotes a book better than a gagging or banning order. It implies there is some truth in it that someone does not want to get out.
We've all known for a long time, at least since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, that Facebook has done some despicable things. Their efforts at fact checking etc was all part of the PR to try to disguise the questionable ethics that seemed to be ruling the roost.
If we just think back to the very beginning why Mark created Facebook, it was questionable from the get-go. I still have a video clip where Mark is interviewed, and he clearly states the user's data belongs to the user, yet that data got sold and reshared elsewhere. To this day, WhatsApp has in its T&Cs that metadata will be shared upstream to Facebook and other partners. They are not trying to hide that fact.
Out of all the Big tech companies, it is Facebook (Meta) that I have the least liking for. This is mainly for the repeated transgressions of privacy over many years. I can even stomach a company like Google using data (like reading our GMail) if they are not actually on selling or resharing that data like FB does. As far as we know, no other company has crossed the line like Facebook has.
So of course I'll be interested in this book now too. I know it won't change much because at the end of the day, the only way a company like this feels anything, is if its users dessert its platform. That is just not likely to happen with Facebook in the shorter to medium term.
“When I wonder if the company knows that its platforms are being taken over by the worst AI slop you could possibly imagine, if it knows that it is directly paying people to flood these platforms with spam, if it knows it is full of deepfakes and AI generated content of celebrities and cartoon characters doing awful things, if it knows it is showing terrible things to kids. Of course, it does. It just doesn’t care.”

Make sure the audiobook doesn't spread either. Here is the link to watch out for.
Document your journey and share what you feel comfortable sharing here. Would love to hear about the progress/changes you two have!
I see it as, "Use the right tool for the job". If you can use bitcoin effectively as p2p money, good for you. If you need privacy and don't have the time to setup and learn lightning, maybe use monero.
Its great to have options. We also have things like trocador that will swap other's coins into your coin of choice.
We shouldn't be fighting each other over which coin is "the best", we should focus on fighting against the state, by simply using these coins in p2p fashion.
So its the end game to be able to live off and earn only crypto, and then be able to not have to do taxes because you didn't hit the fiat threshold that requires you to file taxes?
