I would say this is relatively easy to test if you can get hold of the artefacts. So counterintuitively, this is something best bought in a bricks and mortar shop, if only we could find one that sold them.

That might excuse my misunderstanding. Geoblockimg is the pits.

I don't think they'd need a bank account.
Certainly in the UK, you send btc to the address that pops up on the screen and it throws out cash.
In the UK, the options I've seen are for pounds dollars and euros. I think that's the norm.
It usually dispenses dollars, euros and whatever the local currency is. I think.
The main issue is the cut they take, which varies between 5% and 10%. It's certainly worth considering as a last resort.

I honestly think a lot of activists relied far too much on Twitter. It was always soapbox on someone else's lawn. It didn't matter how welcoming the owner was, he was always going to sell at the right price.
I realise this will make me sound old, but Twitter was never really a shortcut for real campaigning. People still need local groups, to meet in person and actually get to know each other. That's the only way.
It's boring and it takes time, but real change will always be like that. Some problems have no technological solutions.

What about a bit of lateral thinking?
Could the recipient not use a bitcoin ATM?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. How will the conversion take place if the recipient doesn't have a bank account? I assume, from your comments, using an anonymous stablecoin like Haven isn't an option?

Anyone else noted how stable the price of #Mmonero has become lately? It's been at or around £140 for as long as my recent memory allows me to recall.

It seems to me, the hardest thing is #uncertainty.
You meet a lot of people who are adamant #btc will keep rising.
You meet a lot of people who think it will crash to nothing.
I do own some btc but I'm not categorically certain what it will do.
For me it's just a reasonable risk to take. My own guess is there is some, as yet to be determined natural level for #bitcoin.
I'm making a reasonable guess it will be higher than I bought it.
And it's not as unique as both sides claim either. After all we're spending a certain amount of time here. We're taking a #risk that time won't be wasted.
That's normal #human #behaviour. The only unusual thing about our time is how sure we are that we're right.
That's the arrogance of our age.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I'd want 3/1 odds for that bet, maybe more.

It really should be a lot more common. #Bisq is an amazing #p2p over #tor system, honouring the soul of #bitcoin to the letter but it barely gets used.

Maybe C.IM is one of the more restrictive servers, but in any case it's only one isn't it. Why does that matter? Can't you just use a more libertarian server? You don't need to be seen everywhere :)

I'm agnostic about Apple and Google, but the thing that strikes me is this.
You ask Google, do you share my data. They say hell yeah. Do you profile me. Hell yeah we do.
Apple has never admitted anything until they were caught out. Did you give China access to stay in their market. That's commercially sensitive. Do you use device information to profile us. Silence!
They're just bad in different ways. Google is blatant. Apple is devious.

I've been rewatching William Hartnells #DrWho. I was too young to really take it in at the time, but it's pretty clear now, the character we know was barely formed at this point.

There are definitely some universal truths with social media, truths that haven't really changed since I was last rambling on the Internet.
I think the most salient is, most of the action takes place on USA time. That usually means we the euros, are heading to bed just as it warms up.

It's an odd one. The drive to compatibility doesn't seem to be taking the route I'd like.
Instead of copying the best examples like signal or threema it's halfway houses like RCS that are rising. Maybe I expected too much.

That's interesting.
I have to admit, I'm not cool enough to know what #monero town is. I heard about #Retroshare on a Matrix group call privacy some time ago.
They also mentioned #MuWire which has since lost it's original developer, but used the garlic routing #i2p network instead of #TOR.
I know technically what Monero is - a #blockchain that uses ring signatures - but I'm not cool enough to be part of the scene :(

Can I ask you a question. I've been very interested in private messaging for a while, as much out of curiosity as anything else and your write up poses some questions for me.
Two or the most interesting approaches to anonymity I've seen are Retroshare and Onionshare, which can both be used as messengers.
I realise both have their development issues, but looking at the principle, why didn't you initially go this route, baking Onion Routing in from the start?

A #controversial #opinion?
I think the best way to play #crypto is to bet on the best new coins when the market is rising, then cash that into #BTC when it stalls and wait for the next rise.
It's worked well for me!
