Oh the idea sounds very nice! Does that work like a captcha? How would I integrate this into a site?

Nice! Congrats 🥳 Thanks for sharing :)

You’re always spot on! Keep telling the truth to the collectivists/statists here in the fedi verse brother 🫶

Maybe, but it also could’ve been that I didn’t really want to argue with statists as it’s mostly a waste of time ;)

taxation is theft

I think if people made the jump from BTC to BCH they’re more likely to jump to XMR as switching is much cheaper and XMR is pretty much the private and fungibel version of BCH. Does that logic check out?

You can’t vote through that link, but at least you can read the comments and see Monero leading the poll ;)

I’d love to attend but sadly I’m outside germany at that date :/ Have fun guys!

Just put a xmr address under your articles. Then everyona can send you some if they liked it.

Interesting thoughts, but I have to say something about the socialist/marx and goverment part. I’ll try to be friendly:

Socialists, especially Marx, are dumb, human-hating fucks and control freaks. Sorry, but think that shit through. It cannot work. Research praxeology.

I for sure would call myself anarcho capitalist and a cyperpunk.

Hell no about the gov part. I hope monero can help us to get rid of goverments in general. Just live and let live. I’d start a free private city with other people though.

Oh and on a more serious note: I kind of understand where you’re coming from. It’s important how you define things like gov, social, socialist etc. I watched and participated in the anarcho capitalist vs anarcho communist discussion. It made me realize both have somewhat similar goals. But the ancap side has the more consistent world view and logical explanations for it. I’m sure you’ll figure it out if you stay open minded. I mean you found your way into the monero ecosystem :)

The idea could be revisited when Jamtis got implemented. Then you could just give away the key for generating new addresses (for every comment).

But I’d prefer a field in the profile for donation links. Then you could probably check for if it is a link to a site or a crypto address and then show a ‘Send tip button’. If one doesn’t want a custodial wallet you just open the address in an external wallet.

Nicely done!

Because communism is known for it’s abundance of housing and excelent healthcare? Communism is the biggest threat to mankind. It’s a pipe dream that already killed over a hundred million humans! Not a price I’m willing to pay for free housing and great healthcare (which it CANNOT deliver).

I will be doing exactly that 🥰

Oh wow, it’s already funded xD

Important milestone that needs to be researched for FCMPs. Let’s hope they find a proof!

Why should it? If I want to send money to a person, that’s noone’s business except mine and of the person receiving it.

Why should the goverment stop at the point where they can see your incoming balance? They probably gonna outlaw it completely.

If you still believe a monopoly on force (aka goverment) is A: warranted and/or B: needed I can’t really help you.

The state is the biggest threat to our liberty and well being. Monero is here to help us get rid of it (or to just get our well deserved freedom back).

They’re going to introduce their CBDCs so they’re able to see every transaction (in- and outgoing). To automatically deduct taxes and block you from transacting completely if you don’t comply.

Fair point. The market will find a equilibrium between electricity costs and mining reward. Also compared to the current banking system miners will probably move their business mostly to locations where energy is cheap and highly available.

While I agree that a transaction is mostly the business involving the two parties transacting, they still need to adhere to the network rules. And that’s were the miners step in. They don’t care which two persons are transactig as long as they pay for it and it’s in general a valid transaction (according to the network rules).
