  • What about the Monero community working with the manufacturers on PoS terminals, providing coding assistance to embed nodes and wallets into them and provide the training to retailers willing to participate in pilot programs? I admit I don’t understand the new US laws on crypto and if this might presently be illegal.

    Another idea is to create a legal fund to defend those prosecuted by any of these crypto related regulations. Establish precedence in the courts, making it more difficult to prosecute the free exercise of trade thru crypto and furthering privacy protections for private transactions.


  • I find myself limited to purchasing non-essential items because the marketplaces that accept Monero primarily offer goods that aren’t necessary for survival. Essential services and products like fuel, property tax, internet service providers, electricity, insurance, phone service, and food are currently inaccessible through Monero transactions. For Monero to facilitate a successful circular economy, there must be significant progress in making these essential items available for purchase using XMR, whether through direct or indirect payment methods.





  • As a community, we should all abandon centralized servers and migrate to decentralized solutions. I’d support any decentralized system supporting privacy and anonymity, something that asks no personally identifying information such as phone number or email address. Something like Bastyon or Brighteon.io . Some attributes are below:

    • This solution is directly on a blockchain, has no corporation behind it, much like Monero.
    • Plus it’s got many of the features that Twitter or Lemmy has, we can set up private or public groups and memberships
    • No email address or phone number is required, so you can remain as anonymous as you choose.
    • There’s already a strong group of liberty-minded individuals. While they aren’t all crypto-savvy, they are predisposed to solutions benefiting privacy.
    • Adequate settings to block offensive speech, only controlled by the individual, so you can limit what you see, but not what I see.
    • Built-in design is the requirement for small amounts of PKOIN, the coin that powers the blockchain.

    This last bullet about requiring PKOIN has the effect of reducing spammers and trolls, but does not eliminate them entirely. While those desiring to have a megaphone and upload large amounts of data will have to pay, the average user posting photos, articles, and links to external sources normally have no cost. I’ve never needed to purchase PKOIN and have steadily posted links to articles of interest repeatedly.
