Networking question: is there a semi-easy way to use an existing VPN client tunnel on a router if you tunnel into said router via Wireguard? Something like this:

User > Wireguard > Router > Wireguard > VPN

I'd like to use the second connection through the first Wireguard connection, so that I can simply tunnel into my home network and then use its VPN connection when I access the Internet. #asknostr

#Bitcoin Miners go brrrr 🥵

Get a mechanical watch, carry a wad of cash. Leave your phone at home. Head out into the world like this at least once a week and enjoy life without any digital bullshit. Thank me later.

yes, but it won't be the biggest problem ... free energy would change everything, like there is a time before the fire and after it change

Just a random observation of bitcoin blockchain: it is turning into a shitchain. Every time I check it recently, this is all I see 🐶🐾🤷‍♂️

crazier things happening in the world than what happems with btc if electricity has no cost 😅

Oh I know that but I was asking about what fiat payment method you use. There seems to be varying levels of privacy when it comes to that.

Sure, but those are pretty much the same arguments used against BTC early on, and even today to some extent.

Vast majority of vendors don't accept bitcoin, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work towards using it as a payment mechanism.

FWIW the more I see governments trying to ban Monero, the more I want to use it.

a gift card does not "perpetuate the fiat machine"?

if you put your name on any bill, they know your name, no matter if your pay with cash, card, xmr or flintstones.

do i need to explain that to you?

What payment method do you use?

you forgot an n at the end of your name Moro

these anonymous debit cards are linda bs, dont you think? like if i buy one then use it to pay any bill with ny name on it ..then its completely doxxing that i used monero or btc to buy it. i can,understand buying a giftcard and using it in store but a visa card ...seems terrible. also just perpetuates the fiat machine imo.

you can buy an anonymous debit card with monero for zero fees through cake wallet

Well, that means that when you start using Monero, you will be one more person. And then the next person will have one last person to say that about.

Bitcoin fails on all promises from the early days, sadly.

- it is not decentralized, 12 mining pools have control

= it is not usable as p2p currency

- lightning is moving most users into custodial wallets

= not your keys and not your coins

- 1mb blocks are a joke, we have 2024 and a 12tb hdd costs $120

- fully transparent with zero privacy

- mints and etf's will dilute the 21m cap

Asic resistance is one of the key arguments for Monero .

Also mining by botnets creates a truly decentralized infrastructure. Botnet miners will not bend their knee to a tyrannical government.

Apart from that it is censorship resistant, has adaptable block size and fees are low. You can use it as a p2p currency.

The longer i think about it, the more it is clear to me:

Monero is the real Bitcoin and represents everything why i went into Bitcoin in the first place.

Most people will only understand its value when the government mandates to connect your digital ID to your BTC transactions.
