Unpopular opinion: the web of trust talking point for nostr mostly only matters for "nostr influencers" (would be happy to be convinced otherwise though)

They already banned U.S. residents just like zkSNACKS, so I don't get the point

2024-06-03 19:16:43

What the hell? Ginger Wallet already rug pulled U.S. residents, cannot even use their coordinator. What is the point of this project exactly?

Some kind of federation of small states seems like a good idea, which I thought was what the U.S. was supposed to be, literally. But I guess it's the centralized part that will always accumulate more and more power.

It seems all governments / civilizations tend towards extreme corruption, no matter how lofty the original goals were. I think some type of revolution or collapse will be needed to roll things back at this point.

Security is only one of the things you want in a password manager. Ease of use with actual accounts is just as important and I don't think it makes much sense for that to be honest.

To some extent yes, but do you by any chance use an exchange with an on-chain withdrawal feature? What if that was made illegal?

Yeah, that I'm not sure about. They have adaptive block sizes to handle more transactions, but then there's blockchain bloat. It may be theoretically possible to build a type of lightning network on XMR.

2024-05-25 00:49:37

Sure, but those are pretty much the same arguments used against BTC early on, and even today to some extent.
Vast majority of vendors don't accept bitcoin, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work towards using it as a payment mechanism.
FWIW the more I see governments trying to ban Monero, the more I want to use it.

2024-05-25 00:16:34

Bitcoiners are too dismissive of Monero. While BTC is an ideal store of value, XMR is arguably a better medium of exchange.

I think spending is a good way to test out and encourage development of bitcoin spending technology. If done properly it can also give you more privacy than electronic fiat payment methods.
But yeah I generally only spend by converting from fiat for that purpose, so never from cold storage.

Their argument seems pretty lame to me. If at least one third of the content is sexually explicit, it's a porn site. Why would requiring age verification be a problem, if it might discourage kids from accessing it? I don't think an adult's right to KYC-free masturbation is more important.

2024-05-22 00:51:57

IMO "privacy" has become a mostly meaningless marketing term when coming from a company trying to sell a product. At best it means the company jealously hoards your data.

Downloaded all of my Amazon data today and it's pretty creepy what they store. I could hear audio recordings of questions I had apparently asked Siri when I tried it out many years ago.

True, as soon as you want to make a living or create a "brand" privacy has major tradeoffs. It's probably more a matter of clearly and consciously separating public and private life.

Anonymity is a good default. I personally don't understand why so many people voluntarily dox themselves.

2024-05-16 14:15:21

I don't think privacy will ever become the norm. Just look at how normalized surveillance via credit card usage has become, simply because it's more convenient.
The important thing IMO is at least having the ability to have privacy if you want it, similar to being able to use cash in real life.
And buying BTC without KYC information is nice but doesn't really scale if you want to buy a lot. It will likely always be a side show.
