dont forget stablecoins

hi antidarknet

cool site and nice job stresstesting XMR. look forward to seeing more of your projects in the future!

Makes me wonder about other vulnerabilities there could be - particularly regarding dark markets, xmr escrow services etc.

regarding your point

Unless you’re criminal you shouldn’t be worried in any way.

A criminal is someone defined by the state as having broken a law. Likewise a legal action is one which happens to coincide with a state’s edict (law). but libertarian maximalists or anarchists wouldn’t agree. hence why you were called a bootlicker.

whilst it’s perfectly righteous to fight what you see as harmful, there’s an argument for freedom, particularly in the case of drugs where it is usually the user who is the only one at risk of harm (if we follow the harm principle rather than legal/illegal). yes the drug trade can harm too - but that could also be because it is ‘illegal’ and has to take place in a non-ideal marketplace.

that being said, I have my own limits as to what is moral so I agree that you should pursue yours. but I will do things that are illegal, and I encourage you to do so too. perhaps one day using monero will be ‘illegal’! </end philosophical sidebar>

i’m skeptical of this plan

i only use lemmy for monero.town

re: federation, for now it helps keep the dpwnvote spam and random haters out. but they’re welcome too if we refed.

my hope is that based admin will get us off cloudflare one fine day

good ep. will be interesting to see how this develops

and lol @ libertarians saying, “I never vote but I’ll vote trump if he promises to free ross”

good post

I was reading today that her husband is CEO of a big pharma corp. that corp is owned by pfizer…

and yes she approved the buying of millions of vax doses and approved of mandates…

thanks based admin

lol, just days after this post about coralling rebels onto cloudflare: https://monero.town/post/3622853/5036178

is there a wider attempt at stymying monero’s grassroots ecosystem?

if so it seems to be mid-tier, not state-level. and it has been piecemeal, an exchange here and there, and the flood attack last month.

but the use of tor exploits is above the average schmo and as @gogr8 says someone was comitted. we must be doing something right!

also ddos attacks on multiple remaining exchanges - wizardswap, trocador among others in the last week.

some have suggested this corrals sites + services onto cloudflare as a chokepoint for future censorship.

however xmr keeps on ticking even despite mempool flooding last month.

wikileaks tweet

after a long time as a grassroots campaigner

this is welcome news. kind of hard to believe.

as we speak, Assange is on US soil, not out of the woods yet.

but the Aussie PM is pro-assange, at least in word. we’ll see.

waiting to see if wikileaks will accept monero (or crypto) for the assange rehabilitation fund and will donate there :)

an historic day
