This should be compatible with RSS, let me ask dev on the URL. Having RSS with XMR tips would be dope. As a content creator, not knowing if anyone reads your RSS is not so fun/motivating

RebelNet is an agnostic protocol that allows for many other protocols to cross communicate. So one of those is Nostr, which should be fairly well known among Monero users. Here's a video explaining: https://rebelnet.me/news/0xad937afc3901f9e4c6

It's unclear how the arbitrators are picked

Actually, Bitcoin is sold by regulated entities with KYC laws & approved by the SEC.

Monero is AnCap.

It's because Bitcoin is a risk on asset that moves like the nasdaq in the eyes of wall street, and since the nasdaq is closed they short btc. This spills over to all crypto. We aren't talking about Monero Town's opinion, we're talking about gamblers on the weekend when futures markets are closed.

And the people downvoting the post are only depriving other Monero traders of learning about the news, and buying XMR or understanding the volatility.

Most Nostr users post to relays on Cloudflare and Hetzner. They don’t realize that they’re easily censored, and it’s not decentralized.

Even worse, there is the threat of radical Bitcoin Maxis trying to censor Monero via forced lightning paywalls on the relays. Like a chess player thinking ahead, we outline some XMR relays and Tor Onion ones in this new easy to read guide: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/nostr-relay-guide/

I'm asking you to consider this technology beyond just evasion. It's a distribution system for content.

Matrix is tied to one server. Federation is physical locations. Yeah you can hide those locations with Tor or I2P, but ultimately if that location is found its game over. With a blockchain based and node based system, its full blown crypto anarchy. You can establish a reputation that can't be taken away.

The same way we value XMR for it's self-custody of money, as opposed to btc lightning that ties it to a liquidity server. That same logic, is now why self-custody of communication is greater than "federated liquidity hiding"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The metadata of conversations is just as important as the metadata of money. The CIA director said "we kill people off metadata"

Also this conversation was about censorship, not just pure privacy. Matrix is federated, just like SimpleX. Meaning it uses government domains. So one could not trade Monero on either of these platforms against the will of sanctions with any meaningful size.

Can you do a small amount and different burners? Sure. But then how's the customer gonna verify its you and find you? PGP signatures over Matrix DMS? c'mon man, we're talking about freedom here.

Spain has banned Telegram.

They are claiming this is over copyright violations of users, that Telegram is failing to police. Now some users will be forced to consider decentralized solutions. As I have repeated many times, Session messenger empowers users to defy state level censorship, with its unique blockchain based DNS that completely separates physical locations from identity. And our team has repeatedly mentioned using Session to defy a Monero ban.

With Session, if the location of the VPS or device is discovered, the user can rotate the blockchain name to a new public key. On the other hand, SimpleX, Tor Onions, or XMPP are tied to physical devices with encryption keys in memory, and their discovery is a game-over.

However, Session receives a lot of criticism. Rather than ignore this, I tackle it head on, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/spain-has-banned-telegram-defending-session/

In a shocking new hack, the data of 43 million French citizens was leaked from a government database, onto the darkweb.

Yet the French government is pushing for heavy VPN restrictions, to collect and identify huge amounts of data, including even banning foreign VPNs that wouldn’t have to comply.

Simplified Privacy has grave concerns about such a broad and powerful expansion of government power, when they have not proven the ability to handle even basic identifier data on their citizens. We once again urge the use of Monero and warn against blindly trusting authority: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/france-hack-vpn-restrictions/

Roman Sterlingov was recently convicted for running a Bitcoin mixer.

This is a very dangerous legal precedent. Because the only hard evidence for him to potentially serve 20 years in prison is that his KYC Bitcoin went through many hops and wallets, before being used later to supposedly buy a domain name.

This court case means that anyone is responsible for the future actions of anyone you pay, because if those funds turn out to go to anything illegal, you’re automatically on the hook. And people wonder why we like Monero?!

Get the full scoop on this shocking case, it's the ultimate why Monero: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/unproven-proprietary-chainalysis-software-jails-bitcoin-user/

There is currently a fee bug with Monero, that the wallet doesn’t automatically bump the fee when there is a backlog. This fee bug is causing sync issues with many wallets. The bug has already been solved with Anonero.io, and other wallets will be rolling out fixes shortly.

There are rumors that Nostr's creator is behind a spam attack. Simplified Privacy addresses this and has a ready working solution: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/monero-attack-nostr/

The main difference between the register article and this one is the register is optimistic that Google will stop. While as the comments in this chat clearly indicate alternative views.
