Your two cents won’t matter anymore, but your two sats will.

I personally like using the OpenDime for this and sending ‘s link for Spending to the recipient. https://werunbtc.com/opendime Something else he covered in a podcast is that you can actually send the OpenDime without funds, recording the receive address before sending, and then send the funds AFTER they receive it. Saves you the worry of losing the funds if it is lost in the mail.

I agree with the thought but can’t imagine how I’d react put in the same position. When the mafia makes the rules you may find it’s not just you that suffers, but those closest to you. It’s one of those decisions I hope they/we don’t all regret. It’s not legal precedent now, but the implications of a plea certainly don’t help free speech. Watching the Flash stream of news we can’t help notice our privacy is also under threat. Erosion of privacy chills free speech. When people feel constantly monitored, they're less likely to express dissenting or unpopular opinions, fearing judgment, retaliation, or other consequences – effectively self-censoring and limiting open discourse. Essentially, privacy provides the space needed for free thought and expression. And “unpopular opinion” is now just a figment of reality when central media gives us the narrative of what is popular. So, I guess back to your point. 😔

This is what 7.159 billion humans stacked in the Grand Canyon would look like for reference. So multiply this pile by roughly 16. The earth is enormous, and we wouldn’t suffice as canyon grout. - image from Vsauce “How many Things Are There”

This is very disappointing to see. Looks like the opposite of growth. And for the record I don’t want SimpleX relays. I thought the point was for people to ultimately run their own. They’re trying to scale? For what? “Somebody has to pay for it”. This is not a social media app. I thought it was for personal and group secure messaging that doesn’t fall apart when AWS or their farms get hit by a DoS. I didn’t want to use your servers in the first place, but understand the need for PoC. Maybe it’s on me for misinterpreting. I guess I was hoping this was about decentralization for as much as that word appears in this recent sales pitch. It appears to be about creating a sustainable business model for them to host. Was definitely one of my favorite designs. 😔 Please help me understand if I’m missing something here. Possible I misinterpreted the project from the start.

Indoctrinated voices only please.

Talk about short term memory of the post they’re replying to. Omg. Just amplifies their point. Wasn’t sure if the replies were serious, but they were so specific. Maybe I should sell my car and buy an 80’s Plymouth Reliant K Car. Or maybe I’ll just walk.
