Why are posts that expressing support and wish towards Monero's proliferating adoption getting some downvote-bombings in here? Examples:

or this one:

Just started the skepticism thread, and there is an instant -1 downvote on that.

wtf is this? Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitfags? Is it the overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers that can't stand the words like "shock-troops" or "the final solution"? What the hell.

  • This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
  • NOT the positive aspects of it.
  • Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.
  • Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
  • Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.

How it works:

  • Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.
  • If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them – reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.
  • Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
  • The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.

It has lots of useful listings, and then it also has this one: https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/P2qu/

😂Rofl, make monero fun to use again!

 

We're excited to share that a pull request has been made for the Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) integration into Monero!

The pull request is a work-in-progress and will be improved upon and reviewed to ensure soundness of the implementation.

Do you not understand allegory? Are you a literalist who cannot grasp nuance in internet banter?

Nah. I said nudge.

crypto scam

Nah.

 

I bumped into two projects that do not yet use Monero for dono/payments yet.

  1. https://riseup.net/vpn#donate
  2. https://freenet.org/ghostkey/create/

The first one of them is a cool VPN that you can install and use right away inside debian: sudo apt install riseup-vpn -y

The second one is the new freenet project that aims to build distributed and uncensorable network.

Both of these projects SHOULD have been using Monero for donos/payments, ALREADY.

I think it is high time the Monero community shock troops go out there and apply nudging in these projects' community pages. Example: https://github.com/freenet/freenet-core/discussions/1189#discussioncomment-10382094

I show you how to isolate your feather wallet in an offline qube. Then, use your own monero node that runs in another qube via TCP port forwarding between the local qubes in QubesOS.

I am not in the business of rescuing the world.

Aight. Good for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

first you are wrong.

wrong about what?

Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus.

Depending on your goal. If your goal is to have an exclusive club of monero users, yeah, be my guest. But if you want to reach some critical mass with your monero-related discussion community, some level of ease of access to the discussion medium helps.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yes, no mobile device access is a big hurdle.

Lemmy has a lot of potential for replacing reddit for long form written, indexed, searchable and structured (all as opposed to irc/matrix discussions) discussion medium.

This is the context of my message. Irc/matrix are different comms medium than reddit/lemmy. So, I do 't see the relevance of your message.


EDIT: Now I understand the context of your message--my bad! Agreed, Monero comminity should free its discourse from the shackles of reddit.

Btc is kosher now

As far as Bitcoin goes, there's also coinjoin.

With whirlpool going out of biz, what coinjoin is there for btc?

LN stuff

  • Doesn't work when mempool fees are high
  • Most people are forced/nudged into using custodial wallets
  • LN was not designed to be a privacy tool. Bitcoiners tried to shoe-in that it is also a privacy tool

Monero is losing ground to LN

Where are LN darknets?

This sounds very good.
