I am not in the business of rescuing the world. I you wanna do that, fine.
first you are wrong. and second, mobile users who dont read, dont research and post subito are of little help. Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus. Unfortunately there is an app for those.
Last week @tusker and myself have been busy setting up the infra on RetroShare.
You’ll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You’ll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.
BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN...
problems:
inherits full graph anal from BTC: but instead of money your complete private life is profiled
dev tax of 5% (concealed in docs): this is a scam if the token rises in value
Requirements for running a full node:
• Your computer has at least 50 GB empty space on your SSD
• Your computer has at least 2 GB free RAM
• Your internet speed is at least 10 Mb/sec
Sounds reasonable. Anybody here to do this ?
The control is statistical in nature. It is predictable that most ppl wont move to "selfhost or simply choose a different server". Privacy of metadata (sooner or later users can be identified) is lost anyway. To prevent users from "selfhost or simply choose a different server" marketing is used addressing, again, a vulnerable part of population plus technical hurdles (design choice). A small number of ppl (you?) will always escape control and manipulation.
If ppl choose the statistically centralized type of federated platform they should at least be aware of the trade-offs. Convenience vs. privacy/blacklisting. If there are only a handfull servers all controlled by the same companies its not even federated, its a marketing gag.
As you "have no time to look deeper into this" we will end the discussion here.

Poberezkin is DOA. Dont't try to simplify your privacy by using federated platforms. You will be pawned.
I sent you a PM.
We already missed you. Where have you been 😂
Last week @tusker and myself have been busy setting up the infra on RetroShare. We're up 24/7 with +4 community nodes and +2000 network nodes.
We'd like to invite you to the 100% decentral Monero p2p experience!
RetroShare is much more than a backup for centralized solutions. It is a self-organizing network, where malicious actors are marginalized by majority vote and eventually excluded.
You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodegroups can be created, too.
The bright nodes are ON 24/7 (our own IDs) and the dark nodes are occasional visitors (1st degree separation). Any of +2000 nodes worldwide can be used to access public boards
In the boot phase we are invitation only. If you want to help testing reply here and get an invitation PM. Don't send me PMs from other lemmy instances
had to ban due to spam. PMs from monero.town are fine.
Note: vertical scale is log. Gvt debts are often nullified in a Great Reset every 80 yrs or so.
I mined my first btc in Jan, 2009 (yeah I'm an old fuck, which is not the same as an old fag, BTW) and abandoned ship 6 month later, when btc became exchangable. If a limited # of btc can be bought with an unlimited # of fiat, who has the power? ... you know we lost when Blackrock files for paper-XMR :) and sells it with 10x leverage...
True, fiat has the power to overwhelm less flexibel systems, lets call it monetary war. In this respect XMR tail emission is a defense. And delisting is a blessing... maayybeee, it will slow down things. Who cares
For those panicky but alive mine some WOW on your phone for fun and profit :) or get involved in your local community meanwhile or contribute to haveno and basicswapdex.
Actually we need challenges to grow. How about running a MWEB-LTC node with IPFS frontend, with atomic swaps to XMR? If I can write the scripts you can do it probably, too. Or, go figure how to block btc noobs bootstrapping over i2p.
Liquidity is much more important for speculative order book based gambling than for the exchange of real goods and services. Guess why XMR has a low volatility despite artfully cook'd up news? Monerorers have much more sneedle in the woods than heads in their ass, that's why.
/END RANT/
effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.
They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) -- we'd need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren't we supposed to be delisted from this scam?
