True. People use completely unjustified anthropomorphised terminology for marketing reasons and it bothers me a lot. I think it actually holds back understanding how it works. "Hallucinate" is the worst - it's an error and un

I have used it, but i dont see how it is related to being able to transact privately. As soon as you do anything linked to your name with those coins puchased on bisq, the whole batch is linked to your identity

Monero is fine. But how can you even use bitcoin anonymously now? Even wasabi and samourai wallet are shut down as far as i know. Seems highly risky to use any tool like that since i dont know what the consequences will be in the future. Jo

The whitepaper shows it was intended to be "peer to peer electronic cash". It did clearly fail at that goal since it has none of the privacy of cash and so on.

It is scarce, novel, transferable, passed critical mass of popularity long ago, uncensorable to some degree for now. That's all that's needed, it makes it better money than perhaps anything else

It isn't fungible at all since every coin has a history which in some cases makes it unspendable, so it is highly risky to accept transfers without a third party chain analysis report, otherwise i agree

I can't read reddit anymore because I always get "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy. Try logging in or creating an account here to get back to browsing." Any way to bypass this?

I didnt deny that addiction exists or that opioids are addictive. That being said, I think the fentanyl crisis and addiction in general is typically a symptom of other complex issues. We are sprinting into a horrific dystopia with intense c

Even if it were a process as invasive and painful as getting a bank account, it would remain the only technology that enables users to get a search account privately (since Kagi says cash is not scalable for them). Given the level of snark

Yikes, that thread reflects so badly on Kagi to me. Over a year of people explaining why Monero is needed if you actually cared about user privacy, with no results. Weird claims that it is difficult to implement. Can only conclude that the

Authorisation does not equal capability. Bitcoin has no privacy so I see how use of it could be trivially tracked and punished. With a private cryptocurrency like Monero it may be feasible to do anonymous crowdfunding; recipients have vario

No, it is not worth it, and in the long-run may not have the desired effect. For me, after seeing this, I would possibly not report being raped. Arresting the rapist isn't going to directly help me (depending on the situation), so by s

That's what is required for the network to remain secure, but there is no direct mechanism to cause that to happen. You can observe all the other blockchains with weak security as experiments: there is nothing preventing the security f
