yeah bro i have heard up on both these. the work shares I thought was a good idea, I kinda had a similar idea for doing it so P2Pool is the same as a regular pool. but it doesn't help above 51%. it sounds like an easy small win, so why not note the work shares podcast guy got me thinking of more debate points, as earlier we discussed nym. nym vpn is proof of stake, and rewards the nodes based on the stake amount and not primarily how much traffic they route. so that's the opposite of my goals, which is to empower smaller providers and be more decentralized. And the work-shares podcast speech really drives home how proof of stake helps the initial early people compound wealth, but that's the opposite of what someone would want for a VPN that's fighting against a large adversary to blend in, where adoption and smaller providers are the key. then on the other interview of the proof of stake finality layer, the thing is luke parker said on that monerotalk interview that the 10-block lock does NOT need to be there EVEN NOW. which really raises the question of why it's there to begin with

not in the slightest, they paid the fines from the court cases as a slap on the wrist. their browser fingerprinting stuff is still going on, and i look at the tech docs from it

I actually take the opposite view. There is no purpose in complaining about politics if it is not to drive and motivate people to take action on solutions. I can not stand these black pill pessimistic political things, that leave 9-11 to be a mystery that "ought to get more attention" or "we ought to solve". these vague calls to action do nothing. Instead, I'm saying specifically change your life in these ways.

can't dispute the undamaged passport

surprised that same group of israelis isn't doing another jig on gaza border

On 9-11, the World Trade Center buildings fell at the speed of gravity, So either it was internal explosions, or a magic trick where the laws of physics no longer apply. You've got to come to terms with the truth, that all governments (especially in large countries) are totally corrupt and evil. And start planning your technology, economic, and logistical decisions accordingly.

Arweave with RSS is similar to Nostr but for long-form content. We made a linux app to create content in this format, then any client (mobile/desktop) can be used to view it. It doesn't compete with Nostr, in fact Nostr keys/relays can be used for comments to get free replies, so the consumer doesn't need AR coins to just reply. But it avoids the fact that Nostr relays aren't designed for full websites, as they don't store images or javascript files.

trusted setup is true, but they moved from trusting 6 people like zcash to above 80. however my source on this is a blog post, and not the whitepaper, which I couldn't find it in I'm not saying it's amazing, but the confirm time is under 1 minute with no lock. so for spending cash it does hold a strong value proposition

fair enough, thanks

Thank you, much appreciated. In about 2 months, we will be rolling out the decentralization, which means having the nostr community help us persuade "influencers" in tech, privacy, crypto, politics to run nodes. So this will be a group effort to get good people with honest interest.

thanks bro appreciated

What are your thoughts on pirate chain?

Quote: "We've got two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock it down with two lines" That's from Orio Palmer, a firefighter on 9-11, who made it to the 78th floor of the World Trade center building, right where the plane had impacted. Even literally being at the impact sight, a minute before the tower came down, a trained firefighter thought it was ISOLATED POCKETS. How does that implode the whole building at the speed of gravity without internal bombs? https://www.911firefighters.org/

Worse than Elon Musk?! Yes, TODAY Larry Ellison just become the richest man in the world, He even passed Musk briefly.. but, how'd Oracle get so wealthy? It's because they are among the biggest players in the cross-device, cross-service, data sale game, now getting AI using their databases & services on top of the regular web apps that shill your sensitive life's data. New mainstream news coverage: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/10/larry-ellison-dislodges-elon-musk-as-worlds-richest-person My previous coverage on cross-service data sales as this relates directly to your privacy, with dank memes, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/fast-overview/how-it-works.html

Politicians are like girls you meet for dinner off a dating app, You don't get what their profile promised, but they'll still make you pay.

fair enough. thanks for the kind words

They not only have on Monero related businesses and guests, but they even have other privacy coins. And cover generic cryptocurrency news, such as Odysee even having tipping in OTHER coins. Yet we have IN-APP Monero, and they refuse to cover us. How can any XMR entrepreneur succeed under such harsh censorship? They make it impossible to launch without VCs

Mullvad has money for times square billboards, But copy-pasted Tor Browser. They say "privacy is a right", But "Mullvad Browser" requires permission to block Javascript. Simplified Privacy literally has no bank accounts or VCs. Yet we created a unique isolated networking stack, filesystem, and graphical display cage, with 4 browsers, each with a new canvas approach, and 6 VPN locations. Dude, the fact our thing even exists with such a pure cypherpunk model, should make even the Virgin Mary say "How'd you give birth without a sugar daddy?!" I'll tell you how I did it. The secret is I convinced people to work for beyond money. To be apart of a philosophical movement. To bring something great into this cold world. But our dev work can only go so far. And unfortunately many of the influencers are outright censoring us. I was expecting Google SEO to censor me, but not MoneroTalk. So we can keep pumping out features, updates, articles, podcasts, videos, locations, & browsers. But no amount of solutions will work, if you're ignoring the fundamentally flawed nature of browsers and speed fingerprinting. While Mullvad's billboards sell lies, ultimately the real dream of permissionless privacy will live or die with you.

ehhh i am boycotting cashu mints as it's basically the new federal reserve. zeus zaplocker seems interesting, maybe it could be run on a VPS 24/7? as a client I mean, without needing the full btc node

You've morphed the conversation away from legality, and into trying to argue if it's decentralized. The question is NOT if it's decentralized, it's if it's autonomous. Acting on it's own. And it's NOT decentralized, it's centralized with the haveno dev operating the seed box and picking arbitrators. Entire convo is a waste of time

dude, I can't believe you're taking time out of your day to debate with me if haveno is legal, when the original devs fled working on it, it's anon on tor, doing USD fiat, and even if you convince me, who cares? I am not a legal authority
