I agree. When I think of how I would make a p2p dex platform, the app would be just a map, like https://btcmap.org, then users would create trades based on location, and the users are expected to take a trade, go to the location, and exchange the asset (BTC, XMR) for cash, face to face. Not only this simplifies the experience, also solves the issues of trusting digital transfers, banks, etc, and could probably be gamified to look like Uber, Pokemon GO, then it's just a matter of having the app on your phone, and being like "I am going to the mall, I wonder if a XMR trader will be there so I can just take some Monero and after trading make my purchases with Cash there" or vice versa, with the goal to also build strong connections closer to you as we never know how many around us actually want to participate in the same system or not

Not having privacy also dictates how you act. If everyone is KYCd, people wouldn't like, zap or interact with content they don't want to attribute to their gov identities. fake accounts are good, maybe exploitable, but I think the problem in "universal consistent like count" is the "universal" part, because each should have their own numbers they see, either by the relays you pick, or by blocking certain spammy relays, and each person sees a different thing so not being universal means you have more control actually

The best of both worlds imo is static donation links with specified amounts or objects. I.e: donate me a cup of coffee. Help me buy a pack of diapers for my baby. Donate me 12$ for a pack of eggs where I live. The donor doesn't have to think about it, just donate/support/contribute with what they can or want to, the receiver gets something in return that benefits them, they really needed, or wanted.
Donating someone 1 sat, 5 sats or so is essentially meaningless, no matter how wealthy someone is. But if you donate enough for something that a person needed, or you actually bought it for them in a wishlist style of donation then it is something that even if that person has a job, your contribution now gives them 1 thing less that they don't have to worry about anymore. And for items like food or diapers you can even make it a recurring monthly or weekly donation, and daily cups of coffee and so on, the receiver just has to keep updating the current donation prices according to their local rates so it's never a "set and forget" static address sadly. If 30 people donate you a cup of coffee, that is already one coffee per day every month you don't have to buy yourself, but that should be adjusted/hidden in case you don't want 100 packs of egg or something

I think Monero integrated in a nostr platform would work better for donations in youtube-like nostr clients, or github-like nostr clients to fund open source projects via XMR, then speed doesn't matter as much as twitter clones where notes are appearing every second, and the amounts don't need to be public like in an upvoting/boosting system

There are many "hotspots" in the current Bitcoin design, that if you are not careful enough you may fall into prey's hands, you like to mention L2s but they are the biggest cluster of those for example, as we've seen Wallet of Satoshi even had to stop serving USA costumers, bitcoin mining as well has majority being regulated entities rather than rogue, independent, off-grid operations (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/is-mining-censorship-a-threat-to-bitcoin), and then exchanges where people on-ramp and off-ramp into Bitcoin, which are custodial in nature, so you are right it really depends on incentive vs changing jurisdiction, but this is exactly the problem as there is little incentive for the upfront const and time the "little guy" needs to compete with the giants.
Monero does these things rights as, we still don't have L2s so I'll skip that, but mining being CPU only has shown significant resilience, with P2Pool growing in rank ever since its inception which is a pool designed with no centralized operators. The other point is getting delisted from custodial exchanges pushing users to hold their own keys and run P2P trading only in order to on-ramp and off-ramp, either using escrowed trading or new atomic swapping approaches. So we see that the incentives on Monero are rather different where not only you benefit but some times it is crucial to run your own infrastructure, never give out your custody of funds, and always go P2P.
But I also agree with agree with the freedom tech wolf in regulator-friendly sheep's clothing, but I think that Monero is the freedom tech and Bitcoin, and also its L2s, are the regulator-friendly sheep's clothing, and that you can use that to atomic swap into Monero and back and forth.

Always having something better is good, because so does the enemy, so if something is better for Monero, it can just implement it. There is no reason to ignore new anonymity enhancing techniques if the end goal is the same.
Contrary to Bitcoin which is forever cursed with the ideology to never change, when in reality this causes even more trade-offs in regards to usability, privacy, censorship-resistance, decentralization, & security than if it had already implemented confidential transactions, or dynamic blocks for lower fees & on-chain scaling, which the positives very outweight the negatives at the current point in time, but instead you have a chain that is hard to use efficiently, lacks proper privacy, which in turn poses your security in risk + makes it less resistant to censorship, and then it can't sufficiently decentralize as the hotspots can be treated as regulated entities

I think that now it is just missing manpower, i.e. more developers, or businesses, people interested to invest time, energy and money into Monero based startups, I may be biased but as a dev myself I think of development opportunities all the time that could make it more usable or friendly as a payment method for goods and services, both online and offline, like a btcpayserver alternative focused on Monero, an AI platform where you buy credits with monero, social media like Nostr where donations are made in Monero (I always wanted a video platform like Odysee to achieve this since video creation is a great fit for monetization and subscriber benefits), patreon/locals/subscribestar alternatives paid in Monero, gaming platforms like itchio. But I already have my work so I can't code everything at once
In general I think we just need people using it either for fun, or for actual income, and then it is like a bandwagon effect where it would translate to real life where everyone is like "I can just use Monero" and we may see the market cap in a similar position of the "top popular coins", and where making it illegal is useless

- bitVM (compute everything on Bitcoin) paper is released
My guess is if we see actual sidechain developments and everything can move to bitcoin all altcoin L1s will see a decline in relevance, but I still expect meme coins and tokens to have a wave since we saw this happen with ordinals, so if it is on ethereum, or moved to bitcoin, the BTC dominance will stay high but degens will continue being degens imo and this may spike fees again, cause problems on L2s, and then what happens after? Bitcoin changes consensus? people move back to alts because it's cheaper? Sounds like the same cycle as always repeats, but this time the alt season would be competing for space versus investing on "future potential" of an altcoin

No caso os satoshinhos estão mais próximos de virar shitcoin estatal que qualquer outra moeda, com inflação ou não, o que eles querem é apenas a habilidade de monitorar endereços e movimentações, coisa que o Bitcoin permite perfeitamente, assim todos os governos poderiam adotar o Bitcoin e deprecar notas físicas de uma vez, o único meio que não deixa rastros de movimento. O Bitcoin seria o novo Real, e a LN custodial o novo Pix, como se fosse uma CBDC.
Mas também é irônico dizer que Bitcoin é um projeto que vem de anos antes do lançamento, sem não saber quais foram suas reais origens, o que foi a Silk Road, quem foi Ross Ulbricht, e qual a importância de um sistema inquebrável e irrastreável para sociedades livres de um Estado, a privacidade de Monero não é algo novo que veio do nada apenas para script kids se tornarem hackers, essa privacidade era também parte dos projetos que deram origem ao Bitcoin, mas que faltavam avanços criptográficos na época. Não é a toa que a primeira coisa que veio a mente de Hal Finney: falta privacidade (https://twitter.com/halfin/status/1136749815). E o próprio satoshi já discutia como implementar a tecnologia de Monero.

They delisted it because they wanted monitorable transparent addresses, and coins like ZCash avoided this by releasing a "super transparent address" in order to stay compliant, while Monero has and will always have unlinkable stealth addresses for all transactions by default.

Definitivamente não compete com o que o Monero propõe de ser dinheiro não custodial, sem permissão de uso e anti-censura 😆 compete mais com a conta em um banco, tipo um PIX de nubank para nubank

#nitter dying is a good reminder that it is always a good idea to archive everything you find useful online, using tools like https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox so no matter what happens to the service hosting it, or the software powering it becoming non-functional, you will always be able to access content offline, privately, and without future gatekeepers requiring authentication or similar. From the news it seems in about 30 days all instances would stop working

"Nooo you can't look at literal adoption charts and metrics like https://moneroj.net/dread_subscribers/ or https://moneroj.net/translog/ to form opinions. You must listen to what podcast influencers, non-developers, non-FOSS advocates have to say"

Monero transactions offer the most cost and space-efficient transactions, at 1,419b in size with a median cost of $0.056, support the most Bitcoin-weighted TPS when comparing “reasonably private” spends with 2min blocks and an initial median of 300KB and a hard cap of 2x median, and lowest chain growth of 0.46GB/d. Monero has significantly shown to scale better than every other alternative as transactions [0] and adoption, notably dark market adoption [1] continue to increase.

By not actively pursuing global adoption and not having wizards, contracts, images and data being inscribed on-chain. A pure peer-to-peer censorship-resistant digital cash system that already scales for its planned use case

Gostei demais de ouvir esse podcast hoje durante o pedal e vou recomendar para conhecidos sempre que vir a oportunidade, o Ricardo é realmente muito inteligente e nem chega a precisar entrar em detalhes técnicos, da pra qualquer um, de iniciante a avancado, ouvir e concordar com tudo e entender o caso de Rolante e também sentir aquela curiosidade e interesse de ver o experimento em sua propria cidade. Estaria louco por algo parecido aqui em Indaiatuba por exemplo, mesmo sendo critico da LN baixaria carteiras e tudo e converteria para XMR no meu caso. Seria legal tambem poder ver a palestra que ele mencionou que fez na cidade, se tem video ou algo do tipo disponivel online. Bom trabalho @npub1mqn…mwzd @npub1ejp…07vf https://fountain.fm/episode/RsdQRHDgAQ3X3kcIv7eC

This is not about "making money" i.e number go up. It, instead, gives Samourai Whirlpool users an option to deal with tx0 doxxic change for instance, which in the end is all about being able to spend money privately, non-custodially, permission-less-ly, without traces. Every tx0 change output can still be deterministically linked to your pre-mix coin history (source: https://docs.samourai.io/en/faq#what-is-doxxic-change). Every Monero transaction is untraceable and you can immediately spend it. So there is definitely a use case there, the same way in the opposite direction, a Monero whale seller may buy a bunch of different small tx0 change outputs and merge them into a new whirpool mix in order to benefit from btc's liquidity's market (as explained in https://bitcoiner.guide/doxxic/ on how to deal with change).
Saving in Monero for the future may incur in loss of purchasing power as Monero suffers from price suppression and exchange delistings due to it's anonymity enhancing nature but also users can still "save" it as a tool to spend in the future as the price has shown significant stability over the years nonetheless

Not sure if answered already but highlighter.com does not work for twitter, nor nitter instances even though they are a static page, intentional or unintentionally @npub1l2v…ajft sometimes I want to quote or share a tweet/xweet from here :)

Feliz em dizer que a CakePay agora tem gift cards brasileiros #brasil 🇧🇷 ! Tem créditos pra Uber, iFood e outros disponiveis por #Monero ou #Bitcoin necessário login apenas por e-mail https://buy.cakepay.com/?country=Brazil talvez use uns da Centauro pra comprar alguns presentes esportivos 😉 https://image.nostr.build/391c6aed43dd54df0899ba5a59f666e2aa6608520c55e429961aa45b22376d9c.jpg

Just realized how setting up everything needed for #monero (node, wallet cli, feather, xmrig, p2pool) on #gentoo is incredibly easy, and the Wiki page is very helpful and simplified at the same time https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Monero#XMRig

I'd recommend reading the discussion here https://gist.github.com/RubenSomsen/c43b79517e7cb701ebf77eec6dbb46b8 and https://gist.github.com/RubenSomsen/21c477c90c942acf45f8e8f5c1ad4fae and watching https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YCMaqS-LhLc if interested in the differences, but in short, no extra on-chain data required, no on-chain notification tx required, or off-chain notification, which require interaction to share, or trust in a server to store, and continuous backup to access funds, while silent payments is always non-interactive and trustless, and all secrets are generated from the unique, or labeled, silent address(es), derived from the wallet's seed so can easily be restored anywhere that supports it, and just need to scan the blockchain to access all incoming payments (which can be a downside as it takes time & resources). And it has some nice features like the labels, can also have secret labels for change addresses, and scanning was a nice fit to Cake, a Monero wallet, that already had all the UI/Ux in place.
Do you think bip47 should be added alongside silent payments or do you see any reason to support one over the other?

Been testing bitcoin silent payments at Cake Wallet (@npub1j9q…s2yg), thanks to the research by Ruben Somsen, Josi Bake @npub1uaj…665u and everyone else involved! And thanks to Vik @npub16jh…w5l3, Justin Ehrenhofer and the whole cake team for the ideas, feedback & opportunity!

> Personally, could care less about all the KYC dialogue. BTC is KYC-free, it's exchanges and platforms that are KYC.
BTC as a permanent record has no KYC built-in but outside observers can use this information to track and monitor transactions, which is what compromises the user's privacy and potentially exposes them to surveillance and censorship.
So in your scenario you are better off going straight to Monero in a peer to peer manner or on a local face to face meetup and maybe from there exchanging to Bitcoin, or using XMR for spends directly like buying gift cards, leaving less info as possible to be stored on data centers for harvest
