Exactly. The strive for zero knowledge is the proper way to be going.

Would you like some cheese with that wine?

Edit: Hell, the article itself asked if they had sour grapes.

Sour grapes or does AT&T have a point? Maybe a bit of both?

Heres a post from a few hours ago about it too.

We really don’t have to advocate or evangelize for it much considering the fact that it’s completely used on the dark net for drug purchases. Love them or hate them. Criminals are the first ones to adapt. New better technology. And then everybody else follows on after that. That video is a lot of guesswork and most of it is completely solvable either today or in the very near future. The idea that they can trace Monero depends on compromised nodes which is fixed by running your own node or using somebody you trust as a node provider trading with a centralized exchange which is easily solved by not trading with a centralized exchange, and ring signature weaknesses that are well-known and in the process of being fixed.

Monero is intensely focused on being the world’s best private digital cash system for making purchases on a day-to-day basis, such as your coffee from Starbucks, your items on Amazon, etc. It is uniquely positioned because governments absolutely cannot stand it, but it provides privacy for those who use it, and so the government cannot stop it, even though they absolutely wish they could.

Monero People are actually working very hard to build a circular economy and use Monero as a daily currency. I am also extremely glad that Lady Bird exists because while it is not ready yet, I think it’s going to end up being an escape hatch for when Mozilla finally kicks the bucket.

Thank you for pointing these out. I knew that these were privacy companies, but I did not know they ran DNS servers that would be good for ad blocking and stuff. So knowing that is quite appreciated.

Oh, I know Monero uses proof of work and therefore uses power. However, my thought is that Monero can replace the banks and so you’ve got to consider how much power it takes to run bank buildings and bank employees cars and armored trucks etc. Also, since Monero is mined with CPUs instead of application-specific integrated circuits, you don’t get a bunch of miners in one place. They are much more distributed throughout the entire power grid. So like we don’t have giant mining farms located in Texas that is causing noise pollution to the nearby towns and stuff like that. We also don’t have big mining companies causing drama in the news.

Edit: Proof of work is truly required because it literally backs the value of your currency with energy. And proof of stake has no physical backing.

I wonder if there’s been any further information on this. Donating Monero seems like a great idea for them. However, if they want to insist that the entire crypto community is energy-wasting shit bags, then that makes me want to have a lot less to do with them.

Obviously it’s because they are not using newpipe.

He was being intimidated by men with guns. I suspect he probably willingly gave it up. Or it was written down somewhere, as you mentioned. Either that or he had it stored rather insecurely on his device such as in a notes app or something.

Congratulations!

The texas part

They are quite lucky that woman was not my mother because she’d have pulled out her gun and been like, I told you to move, damnit.

Controld.com. more specifically their adblocking free dns.

I did not know Iowa could be the base for a search engine.

I’ve heard it might be due to physical sim versus e-sim. Is that the case for you?

Edit: apparently nvm on that but it should be back up soon. Try airplane mode on/off like every half hour

Oh dear Lord! SO BAD!!!

Not totally. monero is building a circular economy of people who price items in Monero, and buy/sell in Monero. Some of us desire to flip fiat the bird and do the best we can to live on Monero only. It works too. As an example i have bought groceries with monero for over a year and a half.
