You can use sideswap. Very good and no kyc.

Drivechains don’t add anything meaningful until there’s a clear argument that show people are not using liquid because of the federated model.

Keep in mind lots of bitcoin are circulating on ethereum as wrapped tokens with worst trust models than a federation. Which indicates that it is not not trust model that people are after.

Matt's reply here is a commonnin defence of drivechains that is good, but not my favorite. It's one of the weaker defences, and only weak because of the counter position of most maxi veliefe that bitcoin number go up.

Claiming miners will need fees when your debate partner believes future miners will always make sufficient money of blocks because fiat will simultaneously lose value alongside it is not how bitcoinnwqs intended or designed. So if they do not know this or are ignoring it, i prefer leading with the stronger more universal reasons.

>Maybe mining wasn't supposed to be mostly centralized corporations. In concept.

>Satoshi intended plebs to mine off CPUs.

I cannot know the mind of satoshi or his intention. Perhaps he saw the present reality or not. He's not god or a parent i am supposed to carry out their will for. He was just a clever engineer who in cooperation with many others and their inventions, created bitcoin. Also, he intended fees to secure the network long term, the security model relies on this, from his perspective vased on the whitepaper of 2009.

We must deal with present reality. For instance, by your reasoning we should switch to Monero. It uses RandomX which eliminates ASICS completely and allows any regular laptop to secure the network. Switching to randomX (but not monero) happens to be one of the emergency measures that could be taken to circumvent a state level 51% attack by the way.

>In theory, is changing the Core code good for the money itself?

In theory and in practice yes. More intrusive and disruptive bips have been passed before. Bip300 will have fewer affects than taproot, simply because the affects are designed to be isolated to those who want to participate.

>Mining will be fine, as difficulty will adjust. Same security.

Maybe it will but the difficulty adjustment does not pay more money to miners or incentiviseS a dencentralized hash. I find miner arguments againsy DC to be a distraction. DC plays by the rules and dynamics that exist. Miner decentralization is an important issue and there are other projects trying to deal with that. But this bip is about sonething else.

I hope this comment was relevant, i did not read the ones further up the line.

Yes, they stand to lose if just anyone can create theirnown liquid like network.

Adam Back has to be neutral or pro ,because i suspect his cadre is behind the push smears against it.

His public personae has plausible deniability because his minions are working behind the scenes.

Liquid has confidential transactions so you can’t see the amount that is exchanged in every utxo. Chainanal can at most try to correlate amounts in swaps in and out of liquid e.g. You swap in 0,02 and swap out around 0,02 2 days later, heuristics associate you to those transactions even though no one can be sure (same as onchain heuristics)…

my understanding of Liquid is you can still follow the money, but you just can’t see the money

im thinking of doing a dca or something. for moneor. before this i dca eth alongside btc. price wise, eth is good. development wise shite. hahaha. so much pump n dump on eth nowadays.

frank and honest, is XMR a good investment? thinking of dumping my eth for xmr

It is so private that you can’t tell how many Moneros exists

Coinjoin vs zcash vs monero?

Esse vídeo é click-bait. Se olhar nos comentários detalham os erros desse vídeo que falhou em provar que a privacidade de um único utilizador normal seja quebrada.

O mundo evoluiu há imenso tempo. Monero é a moeda escolhida no mundo real para quem procura distância de governos.

You are everywhere lol

In isolation, shielded Zcash sender privacy is technically better than Monero, but that is all. Example:

Monero:

6% Alice sent $[?] to [?]

Zcash:

[?] sent $[?] to [?]

But this small advantage is overshadowed by many other problems that I showed you in that link.

Some big ones:

Optional privacy - Very few users to hide among.

No layered privacy like Monero - if privacy breaks everything is potentially exposed

IP not hidden by default - what good is privacy if your transaction is accidentally linked to your IP?

Dev tax - lmao

Has known devs, a CEO, and a corporation - easy targets for manipulation and state force and regulation.

and much more...

i tried the cake wallet to try out monero

the first thing turned me off was the 25 words backup phrazs.

the second thing that turned me off is the confusing backup system.

so this begs me to ask : between monero & zcash, which is a better privacy tech and why

It is a big deal if you try to use a same key (like for inheritance) for multiple coins.

12 key or 24 key or 16 key or 25 keys all will have the same security level (minus the fact you can split the key for added security, that is the only difference)
