Last May, Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.
Guy did something illegal and got his electronics seized. There shouldn’t have been any sensitive data in the mastodon backup since all the data (besides maybe hashed passwords and emails) is public anyways.
I have Monero that I will be looking to spend on essential materials for survival. Today, that is not possible. The only things I can purchase with Monero are things that I don’t need for survival. If we can’t make that happen, all the tech in the world isn’t going to improve the utility for Monero. Catering to a fringe techie community will not get us there. I suggest that we create a task force and fund it through a CCS if need be in order to promote Monero. Outreach to businesses that will change their minds and begin accepting Monero for everything is essential, but none of the XMR donations seem to go toward that. I haven’t been around that long and am sure there’s things going on that I am unaware of, but the high visibility influencers I’ve seen don’t seem to be emphasizing this angle. We should be bringing this up front and center on Matrix rooms, Simplex, Session, Bastyon, and Monero.town more regularly and there should be people getting paid some amount of Monero to carry ideas discussed to people outside the Monero community.
A CSS proposal isn’t going to get your landlord to accept XMR, that comes from you and culture. And depending on what country you live in, Coincards, Cake wallet, bitrefill (not xmr), ect. Do let you buy some basic items or food.
The thing is, my proposal doesn’t cost CSS money. I’m asking you to have fun on a social network. I’m not catering to the “fringe techie community”, if anything this is easier to understand than any of the other networks, because it works in a web browser
this agnostic protocol. are you talking about rebelnet? or nostr? sorry, dumb question, i havent been keeping up so much lately
Russell Brand demonetized. Glenn Beck pulled from Apple podcasts. America’s front line doctors banned from how many platforms? These are just some well-known examples, but I know dozens of mid-level political guys rug pulled by Big Tech. If we shift the conversation away from Monero is darknet markets, and turn it to undeniably monetized free speech: This is a winning battle.
this. this right here. this is how we create popularity. these figures that get deplatformed, we immediately need to collectively tell them about decentralized tech and monero, “here is how you can take truly safe donations and never get deplatformed again”.
Yes of course they can use all of these different tools, but having too many tools kills the network effect. I was telling you about arweave before, did you know Lens posts to Layer 3 arweave, so it can scale? Lens has DNS & does pictures over Nostr. Will Nostr folks find out? No, no network effect.
RebelNet uses Nostr, but Nostr by itself is hard for new users. When you create a new keypair on your local device, you are meaningless with no discovery. In order to be heard, people follow mass amounts of other people they dislike, which ruins their feed and kills the fun. While on the RebelNet, all voices are heard based on merit, and you can build your Nostr following which you then own off-platform.
Nostr clients don’t differentiate between the same post being reposted by a different user. This forces you to reread the same posts, creating resentment against the content creator. This resentment is why after you go viral, your next few posts get a dead response as people automatically skip rereading your stuff.
In contrast, the RebelNet can link all of these. Interoperability is the path to adoption. In the same sense that converting cryptocurrencies from one to another makes them more widely used. This is bigger than a “website”, it’s the layer 0 protocol.
RebelNet is an agnostic protocol that allows for many other protocols to cross communicate. So one of those is Nostr, which should be fairly well known among Monero users. Here’s a video explaining: rebelnet.me/news/0xad937afc3901f9e4c6
Durable tools of all types that you can use or sell are good value in an uncertain future. Useful skills and community are important as well. Lynette Zang talks about all this.
Hi Blake! I’m sorry, I’m not Majestic. I actually got derailed because I’m smelling something rotten. If we keep our eyes closed to this kind of corruption inside Monero, we’ll be following Bitcon’s steps in a couple of years.
my site is not online yet, no idea what you mean. Yes, digging into some comments on Dread. Check out localnoderunner for example. The dude has bashed any comments about majestic for years. 3 weeks ago he said it was a scam site, etc. Yet yesterday he posts “I just lost hundreds of dollars on Majestic”. Kinda stupid to use Majestic if you’re so convinced for so long it’s a scam, in my opinion. But he and londonknives actively smear Majestic. So does tuxpizza on twitter. I think somebody is paying for them to talk shit and invent stuff.
Try this, post any slightly positive comment about majestic in reddit or in dread. Anything. I bet you it will not go through. Mods are in on it.
must have mixed up your site with another that had online privacy guides
sounds a bit paranoid to be fair
once again i don’t know majestic and have no interest.
but I know Tux is a solid guy, I trust his opinion. he’s also a busy guy - I don’t think there’s an international conspiracy paying random small-time accounts to occasionally bash the reputation of a dodgy exchange. or that the exchange is so good and unique that it attracts the ire of bigger powers, it seems very unlikely to me.
are you pro-majestic? if so, can you make an iron man case for the exchange?
once again, I don’t actually care about majestic but I’m interested that good info is being passed around the community - particularly at this pivotal era where exchanges are key
It might not be quite ready for mainstream yet, but you might want to take a look at Haveno-reto as an exchange. I completely agree with you. I buy Monero and then I spend it more when it is above the one-year moving average. So like right now I buy more than I spend once it rises above that one-year moving average I will spend slightly more than I buy which will put slight downward pressure on the price. Many people doing the same thing will cause some of the volatility to drop away as more people will be buying below the one-year moving average, therefore increasing the price and selling above the one-year moving average, thereby decreasing the price.
I tried building haveno on arch (i tried building it from scratch and using the aur package) but it wouldn’t build for some reason. Maybe i’ll try again
Yeah, I can’t build a package from source to save my life. It always ends up screwing up and I can never fix it. So I just have Linux Mint Debian running and installed the Debian package.
