Someone (I don't remember who, it was ~ a year ago) asked Grok if interacting with certain accounts can lead to X algo suppression. They posted that image back then, tagged me, and I just reposted it. I thought it was a joke or hallucination... my mistake, lol :))

I didn't know that... well, if it removes my likes, maybe that's the case.. :(

Why #Monero CLI Proves #XmrBazaar Mediators Aren't Escrow Services, Per the Letter of the Law ...and Why Sticking to the Letter of the Law May Not Shield You (or the Samourai Devs) from a Desperate State Beast #freesamourai https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/why-monero-cli-proves-xmrbazaar-mediators

LMAO, you just proved that the AI learned to write like ME 😭😂 Because that exact phrase was *literally copy-pasted* from a private chat with *the very person I had in mind* when I wrote "people already living lives most would call impossible" ))) Looool... that line wasn't just written by me: it got cleaned up **in f*cking real time** from my VTT (see the little "edit" mark on the screenshot 😂): but yeah… tragic for me that AI plagiarized my style now 😭 Create something shitty -> "feels human" Create something relatively good -> "AI-sus" Soooo... I either have to serve trash or get accused of being the robot 😂😂 ...third option: I just go to the mountains with the secret hope of never coming back this time...

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. - Ernest Hemingway, “Notes on the Next War”, Esquire, 1935

Consider curating friends with higher Social Credit scores than mine... Just exhumed this gem from my Twitter graveyard 👇

To the "don’t trust the system" and "begging won’t help" privacy cynics: I’m one of you. I don’t trust the state (any state!) one bit. I live behind Tor/VPNs, I literally burn devices, no IP, no ID, no KYC, "everyone is a fed" mentality & building the parallel economy that will one day make the state irrelevant. But some of our brothers are already inside the state's meat grinder: jailed for writing code that protects YOU. They can’t do anything anymore. They can only stare at a signature counter and hope. You know that little dopamine hit when the notification bell goes +1… of course you know - you see this msg on some social network ;) For them, every new signature is that bell. Except theirs decides whether they walk free or rot in a cage. You don’t have to "believe in the system". Just give them one more red notification, one more dopamine hit, one more spark of hope. If your heart is too armored for empathy, borrow mine. Fight on both fronts... anonymously/pseudonymously. #FreeSamourai https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

we looked into federation models, and I closely follow the progress on https://github.com/layters/testshop... why Haveno specifially (not openbazaar or, say, bisq)?

6 years ago today, #RandomX went live on #Monero mainnet. Still no ASICs in sight... Anyone with a modern laptop can still mine real private money. Hashrate followed CPU evolution and remained decentralized. Quietly one of the most successful experiments in cryptocurrency history. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX
