Very cool. I hope you guys will continue spreading this project all over the country and beyond. With the next generation being fully crypto/web3 literate the tyrants will no longer be able to control and abuse the people with their monetary scams.
This is not really a problem. You could just send the funds to another wallet and say the outgoing transactions were to pay for goods and services. If you are already handing over view keys and paying extortion it does not make much difference if they can see outgoing transactions. They would not be able to follow the transactions past your wallet.
If you have a “boating accident” you would most likely lose all your keys, including the view keys. :)
PS. The state has no right to directly tax income as this is derived from an even exchange of labor for currency, there is no profit. If you are profiting from the labor of others then a tax claim can be made.
BTC maximalism is a cancer in the crypto ecosystem. Despite BTC being crippled and barely usable they refuse to enable superior and functional alternatives. It is the same mentality as those that control fiat systems.
It is the swap providers doing that not trocador. Avoid using Bitcoin as it has the highest scrutiny, do small amounts, and look at their rating for each provider.
They now have an AML risk checker which can help you avoid having your coins held hostage.
This is pretty exciting. I hope as this kind of technology develops we can integrate it into Monero. It would be great to not have to worry about spam attacks bloating the chain and making it more difficult for everyone to use Monero.
Yes, the other server can see who you are talking to, but you can encrypt the conversation so they cannot see the content.
There are established compression standards which should avoid all of the issues you mention. Obviously we would not compress to the point where it takes longer to decompress than to download over a 1mbit/s connection or cause data loss.
Most software distributed over the internet is compressed despite all the “unknowns” being present. Data stream compression is likewise beneficial and established when transferring large amounts of data to remote locations, such as backups.
Let us not get caught up in analysis paralysis and instead stick to practical solutions that will benefit the majority of users.
Thanks for the info. I am sure a check could be put in place to determine if the syncing wallet is local or remote and compression enabled accordingly. If not a manual option can be put in place where the user can specify if they want compression enabled.
As blocks continue to grow due to increasing TX counts this feature will become a huge benefit.
I see what you are saying. Once we have the usability and feature set of matrix with a blockchain based decentralized solution I am 100% in. 👍
Decompression is a very fast operation, there are many locations where bandwidth is 1mbit/s and maxes out at 10mbit/s, not to mention bandwidth is also metered. With blocks now 3x the size from what they were a month ago it would be a significant improvement in terms of speed and cost. Blocks will only get bigger going forward.
Saying retarded crap like Matrix is not in the top 10, clearly it is in the top 10 and #1 at the moment.
Yes, if you are using the same account to talk to your grandma as to buy and sell 10K XMR then you may have a problem, but you would most likely be OK anyway.
I would like to see Matrix over Tor or I2P this would solve any DMS issues.
Matrix is #1 from a privacy, usability, and feature perspective. For you facebook is in the top 3.
I said Matrix is better than both of them, hence talking about telegram…
I have a separate account for every identity all using different IP’s, the metadata is meaningless. Matrix is the best way to chat online once you consider all pros and cons.
Telegram does not collect metadata… 🤦
You can run your own matrix server. Metadata is meaningless if you use a different account for each identity along with VPN’s.
Matrix is better than both of them.
“your MEP” is paid for and/or compromised and will do anything they are told by their owners, don’t waste your time. Put your energy towards building a world they cannot control with fake counterfeit money and threats of violence.
They really need an appimage, not sure why they would release a distro specific package like .deb?
I post the info for others that are browsing and can still think, commie NPC’s are totally gone, I am aware of this. 😉
It is most likely an angry communist. This is the filthy mentality and ideology that has destroyed Venezuela and is working on destroying so many other nations.
Communism was invented by the banker parasitical class to dupe people into giving up all control of their lives and handing it over to a centralized power in the name of “equality” and “free stuff” which is always owned behind the scenes by international bankers. Once they have control they slowly bleed the victim population dry of all wealth while implementing increasingly tyrannical measures and turning the place into a hellish existence.
Crypto and especially Monero is here to peacefully put these parasites back in their place, that is with minimal power and influence by allowing individuals to control their currency and thus destiny.
