We’ve gone from “That’s photoshopped” To “That’s AI!” Another Millenial torch has been passed on

If you use Docker and/or have a media server, message me or let me know below if you can test something for me. I’ve built something that has spawned 2 something’s and need honest opinions.

Where can I get world news on here? In case centralized places get attacked

GrapheneOS is now getting its first major OEM support. No longer are you tied to Google Pixel, you can now add 2027 Motorola Signature and Razr to that lineup. Couple that with Cake Wallet and you have a privacy phone that accept Lightning and Monero into a secure wallet https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions…

Days like today I’m reminded BTC/XMR swaps are best fee but slow as molasses LTC/XMR is quickest but worse rates

Joe_IO on X has developed a first. First iOS Monero only wallet with background sync First iOS Monero only wallet coded in native iOS which means it runs on iPad and M1 Macs First Monero wallet to support BLE to transfer Monero P2P Monero One is going to put a lot of other wallets to shame Monero.one is where you can download it to help. It’s in Beta and has an Android native beta too. All open source

Explain where I’m wrong A CEX is like the towns water department. There’s a single entity responsible for providing you water. You fail to pay, they shut you off. A DEX is like the whole town having a backyard well but instead of just connecting to your house, it also connects to the pipe under the road. If you or I stop providing water, the rest of the homes provide it. As long as I provide water, I get paid by how much goes out. This is like me connecting my wallet to Hyperliquid, setting my Monero price, and receiving any approved crypto in exchange for my Monero. Reto is similar to you coming over and asking for a bucket of water. It’s decentralized in the fact you can ask any or all of your neighbors for buckets of water. It is using TOR so instead of you going to my front door from the street, you come to the back door after going through 2-12 backyards to my house. Is that really a decentralized exchange or is it a decentralized Craigslist?

Where does one acquire Monero without losing 5-10% in fees to swaps or P2P premium

My response to an OG Monero developer who said take on Skylight and Justin wasn’t correct. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I appreciate and respect your take. The Monero OG devs have seen a lot and experienced it too. The issue with Justin, when boiled down or dug into or however else you want to distill it, is the same thing Bitcoin has gone through. That is the capture dev team for personal or corporate gains, however you look at it or choose to believe. Yes, he could have been very influential in the beginning. He chose to use that knowledge for personal gain against the ethos of what Monero was created to be. That knowledge was patented, productized, and sold to unwind the very thing he helped build. His motives now are clouded in those choices. Now, he’s using that same wealth to pay for the product development he is ultimate trying to destroy. This puts him very close to the auditors, developers, and influencers because of money he acquired to destroy Moneros privacy. There is no argument you need to be paid. The money you receive though is tainted, not only by how it was gotten but by the friendship he’s developed. Epstein didn’t finance and help capture Bitcoin directly, he funneled it through grants and friendships. Sometimes it takes new eyes, new ideas, and new blood to realize maybe the very thing you believe needs to be challenged and reevaluated. The hardest thing to do is reevaluate friendships that have been built with blood. While I may be wrong on how this product works currently, you know as well as I do you can be just as malicious with open source code as you can be with closed source due to a variety of things that include complacency, trust, timing, etc. We are looking at a development company whose direction is taken from a man who wants to productize breaking Monero. The reason cypherpunks build is to be sovereign and private. It’s continually improved upon because of actors such as Justin and the Federal Governments. Comes back to the Biblical proverb that “the love of money is the root of all evil”. It’s continually improved because it is continually under attack. If it wasn’t attacked, Bitcoin would be pseudo perfect. Bitcoin is an evolution of currency, Monero is a forged tool where Bitcoin has failed to protect sovereignty and privacy. 2 different roots, 2 different outcomes. So you best believe I try to take an objective approach to the overview and point out where we are close to becoming like Bitcoin, all for a few thousand dollars. Bitcoin was inevitable but Monero wasn’t. So I want Monero to not only stay true to its course but also survive bad actors, even friendly millionaires who bled with the very people who made Monero what it is.

Do NOT download or use Skylight Wallet by MAGIC Grants MAGIC Grants president is Justin Ehrenhofer Who is Justin? He’s a former COO of Cake Wallet After he left Cake, he founded Moonstone What is Moonstone known for? Crescent Discovery, a tool that tries to help deanonymize Monero. What better way to capture FCMP++ data than having a lot of users (most who don’t change default nodes) use your poisoned nodes with your wallet. This helps mature the patent and tool. How it deanonymizes is with poisoned nodes or wallets as it needs an identifying “enote” to start the trace https://patents.justia.com/patent/20240428251
