1) the government is not the people. It's made up of people, not *the* people.
2) Monero supply is audited with a range proof. Off chain "paper" coins can't be audited no matter what blockchain youre using. See "proof of reserves" hullabaloo with regard to centralized exchanges.
Alright update... Some settings have changed since it was simple apps. Both apps just do automatic backups now instead of just working from a file. It still works to do backup, but not import. I remember I used to be able to do it with all simple apps, where it does nothing but read write a file. So you have to treat your phone copy as your canonical source. Don't use simple apps though, they were bought by a spyware company, hence the fossify fork.
I think it has to do with android preventing apps from getting access to the entire internal storage an android version or two ago, where now apps only have access to read/write to one directory. There are apps that let you sync from a local file to system contacts and calendars to bridge the gap. ICSx⁵ is one that does this for calendars. For contacts, OpenContacts does what I said Fossify contacts is supposed to do, but it is designed around keeping a separate contacts aside from your system contacts so that other apps can't see your contacts. I only know that because I had to use WhatsApp for like a week and so I needed to prevent it from getting my contacts. I might switch back to it now actually.
Sorry for the outdated information, I hope this all was helpful.
Alright, looking at it it doesn't do that like the calendar does, my mistake. But you can enable automatic backups that achieves the same purpose.
Also I'm seeing that you can show contacts from phone storage, but I'm not seeing anywhere to select the file. Only showing contacts from phone storage and backing up to a file is equivalent to read/write from a file. If you figure out how to set the phone storage location let me know, right now I'm using system contacts and automatic backups to a dir synced with syncthing.
So you go to boot menu, do you see the USB device there? If so, there are a few things that could be going on, go in your bios and toggle UEFI/legacy (whatever it was, change it) and see if it works. If that doesn't work try making the USB drive again possibly with a different one.
Also make sure you turn off windows secure boot in your bios.
If the device simply doesn't show you can try making it again on a different drive and plugging into a different slot.
Yep.
I stick them both in a directory and have synching sync it, and I have fossify contacts and calendar read/write to/from the files instead of import and export.
The only thing I have to worry about is conflicts, but as long as synching syncs before modification it's fine, generally I treat my phone copy as the canonical copy and make sure any modifications I do from another machine get synced to my phone before modifying on my phone.
vcf file for contacts (fossify contacts will keep it up to date), ics file for calendar (fossify calendar will keep it up to date), syncthing. That's my method.
I don't think it's a good idea to integrate simplex. That's just too much integration and would lead to a difficult to maintain codebase. It's out of scope.
Is it 32 or 64 bit?
Reliability is a concern, but liquidity is a concern too. Because of the network topology of LN, you wind up needing nodes with lots of high liquidity channels already open. This creates an incentive to open channels with large nodes, and that leads to everyone creating channels with a handful of nodes with a lot of liquidity, its a centralizing force.
What makes you think this? The incentives in LN are such that the network topology centralizes over time.
How come no nostr clients let you hide boosts per user, have a boosts only feed, or related, create local only feeds of different people, hashtags, etc? Nostr is built so that these things are possible.
On the boosts issue, they're type 6. It should be very easy to hide them per user, or have a boosts only feed.
On the custom feeds issue, we have this whole protocol and we get one feed?? Are the GUI frameworks people are using incapable of adding tabs? Do the UX designers not think about empowering the user?
IMO, nostr clients are all lacking on UX, every one of them. User empowerment, putting thought into enabling users to more powerfully curate, these were bare minimum MVP requirements once upon a time. It seems that the name of the UX game these days is herding cattle in a direction and carefully controlling user behavior. At the very least, not much thought is put into it at all.
Simplified Privacy is now regulated...
Just not by the government.
People pay the government to register a business, but when the customer is cheated, does the customer get any of those corporate registration funds? No, the gov squanders it, and then more must be collected via violent threats.
Even worse, "privacy" companies register to get fiat investments, which then forces them to compromise their product at arbitrary corrupt request. Their "innovative" technology can't resist the violent registration, and so they have no purpose.
But how can customers be protected if cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible? Today we present a new path.
Simplified Privacy deposited 2 Monero with an arbitrator from XMRBazaar and registered it with our PGP key. Regardless of if you use XMR, Bitcoin, or a different currency: All customers get a PGP signed receipt for decentralized email combo clouds, private DeGoogled phones, or other tech services. And this is regardless of if you use the the Bazaar website, Nostr, or any messenger. In the future, I am open to doing a Bitcoin deposit as well to bridge the gap.
If we fail to deliver on our promises, you can contact the arbitrator (AilliA), and show your PGP signed receipt. If we fail to respond or provide proof of delivery within 2 weeks, AilliA will pay you XMR from our deposit. My message is clear:
You are not defined by the dirt upon which you stand.
But by the value you add to society.

This is a really innovative way to provide customers with recourse and peace of mind without involving goonsquad arbitrators.
How did you get an xmrbazaar arbitrator to agree to this?
Yeah.
Seems like development on it is going slow. There hasn't been an update from v0.3.0 in almost a month. I don't know how to actually speak to the maintainer, I have run into him somewhere but I don't remember where, and I can't find him on the usual Monero spaces. I would think he would have a presence on nostr but I haven't been fortunate enough to find him.
I'm curious if he released this as a proof of concept, or if he wants bounties to work on it, or if he just feels overwhelmed with the workload and doesn't feel like it/doesn't have time to keep up.
I have an interesting story along this vein as well.
When I was a teenager, there was this concrete bike trail I basically lived on day in and day out. If I wasn't at school you could find me there with my friends fucking around, maybe smoking weed or whatever.
There was this dirt trail right off the main, government made trail, we carved it into the woods by simply walking that path, it crossed a creek to go to a shopping center because the trail wasn't really efficiently designed to actually go places fast. The trail didn't meet our needs so we improved it, no permission, no central planning, nothing. Authorities used to give us a hard time, trying to bust kids getting stoned or whatever down there.
My son also grew up there, he's about that age I was in those days, so he took me to go walk it. Nice thing, walking with your son in a place where you both have similar memories around the same age. That dirt trail is concrete now. It even has a name and a big sign over it. There's a bridge over the creek.
They couldn't stop us, because they don't actually govern anything. I bet the planners were really pissed at the kids making their own trails there instead of taking the prescribed routes. All they could do was pretend they made it for us, they made it better, slap their legitimacy on it, and of course take some tax money to do it. But they didn't make it, we did, against their wishes, and since government actually doesn't control anything, they instead give it their blessing, pretend they did everyone a favor, make everyone forget that they didn't build it, pretend they've given us some great gift. And they have to, because if they don't people might figure out that we don't need them.
OK, so that's the "main" sort of address for the wallet.
When you say you "ran the address in feather" what does that mean? If you restored the seed in feather that garnet gave you, the addresses should match, you should see the same address for both wallets.
No... Which one?
4 is mainnet addresses, 8 is mainnet subaddresses, 5 is testnet addresses. If it doesn't start with a 4 or an 8 youre using the testnet version of garnet which would cause the problem you're talking about.
