Good to know

Not sure, but all you have to do to protect yourself from your ISP is use Tor or at least a good VPN. But even if you didn't, all they would know is you used Monero. They wouldn't know how much Monero you sent or who received it.

So this is how I understand it. Hopefully I can explain it correctly.

Everything is still encrypted like normal of course. Dandelion only protects you from malicious nodes on the network knowing what node broadcasted a transaction.

But your ISP would still know you were the one who broadcasted a transaction (they still wouldn't be able to see amounts/receivers). Does that make sense?

FYI Dandelion only protects you from other nodes that are communicating and only if you are running your own node. It doesn't protect you from your ISP. So, you still need Tor/Proxies/VPNs/Mixnets to protect you from your ISP and/or if you're using a remote node

Sure you can do that. But the more hoops you need to jump through in order to get privacy, the more points of failure you have and the more likely it is that you make a mistake over time.

And having to trust a third party for privacy is a mistake in the first place IMO.

PSA to dudes revving their engines loudly: no one thinks you are cool.

Totally, trusting a FEDerated mint is like trusting the FED. There are also a bunch of people i dont know who say they only have my wellbeing in mind and i should trust them. Where is the difference?

I have read the page you sent me and i have played around with ecash, what i do not understand at all - you get a string from a mint, send it to somebody else and he goes to the mint and pastes that string into a textarea on the mints website.

So the mint can log the ip of who gets the string and the ip of who redeems the string and where is the great privacy in that?

Also the faq you sent me did not answer this question to me.

WOT is a social credit score.

But no one cares. Most welcome it or praise it.

Bet you can't change my mind

Nothing about privacy, tax, and all the other attacks currently playing out

WHATSAPP DATA ACCESSED BY GOVERNMENTS?!

An internal WhatsApp report revealed a vulnerability allowing governments to track who users messaged, despite end-to-end encryption.

Meta engineers warned this could be used for things like Israel's AI system, Lavender, to target individuals in Gaza.

The vulnerability relied on "traffic analysis," a technique monitoring internet traffic to infer who communicated with whom and when.

Engineers stated, "Our at-risk users need robust and viable protections against traffic analysis."

Meta claimed the issue was theoretical, but internal concerns suggested active exploitation.
