the samourai/wasabi news has me thinking a lot about privacy but as a court jester and not a builder I’m always left feeling like “what the hell can I even do” to “help” anything 😟 anyway Friday breakfast thoughts good morning.


I'm a little concerned about it. Guess I better look more closely at other options for privacy.


Learn how to use collaborative transactions in JAM, and meme the shit out of it.

GM Carla & Walker 🤝


Bitcoiners FTW


If you have a lot of liquidity, lock some on a JoinMarket. Like JAM.


Do your court jester things to raise awareness?


run a node, drop some bitcoin in a join market and provide liquidity for others to mix with 😉


I feel the same


I write my thoughts

You do you.

No one does it better.


Me: *makes another meme* 😅🫂


Morning from the afternoon of London

Support, support, support. Not talking brassieres here. Privacy is a must as well as a right. Use your voice to fight for it. The USSA is tryingit's hardest to cling onto power. Kill it.

Onward 🫡


We need a worldwide collective of nonprofit organizations focused on advocating for pro-Bitcoin legislation, defending Bitcoin in court and providing legal support for individuals and companies facing Bitcoin-related legal challenges. Funded by donations.

Anyone and everyone can contribute to donations but we the people currently don’t have a collective of nonprofits to donate to 🤷🏻♂


Motivate the devs, they don't get to see many  cute and talenteds


The downside of decentralization. There’s some work that has to be done to come together.


Yep, awareness..


Bitcoin is underpinned by PRIVATE keys. It fails without them.

Maybe there's something there to inspire you to create. Maybe not.


Having studied Experimental Physics and Engineering, but being terrible at writing code...I feel your pain


Easy, feedback to devs. Be involved. Everyone has value as more insight from different perspectives generates more creative solutions


The Jester provides value by saying what others won’t say to or about the king.

You, Walker, and the Mini Jester ARE helping !!!


You hold your wealth in Bitcoin.

If everyone did that, the war would be over.

You more than help.


You can and Walk can help  nostr:npub1lhuex5pzy833ekxpvdmjz9k6rvv5763e4h2cgdfsx62egu0wk6hs7yd2ck with their media arm


One of the problems with monero is the size of the anonymity set in each block. That and the fact that the supply is not auditable.


Still definitely better then transparent blockchain for sure, isn't the anonimity set better then mixing with 99 peers in Bitcoin?

About the supply 100% agreed, indeed it is not a substitute of Bitcoin, just a complement.


laughter is the best dissent


Continue to normalize privacy and help others understand it’s not just for criminals. Bitcoin and other decentralized technologies (like nostr!) need good marketing and you are already doing excellent work! I wouldn’t be here on nostr if you and the gang didn’t make it so gosh darn fun!


What she said 👆


Be private yourself, and you'll be doing as much good as anyone.


:turtlehappy:


Self-host, self-custody everything to get away from surveillance capitalism and the Fed. Your privacy is money. Your little one step forward is a gateway to the freedom.✊


Take it 🕳


run your own node
note your node, not your rules
#nodesmatter


Bitcoin is as strong as the bitcoiners resisting government coercion


Receiver anon set is literally every Monero user that has ever existed because of stealth addresses

Sender anon set grows exponentially all by default: 16^N (N = number of hops from original transaction) 3 hops already gives us an anon set of ~4,096 and this all assumes you are not randomly chosen as a decoy for someone else during that time which would increase your anon set even further

And no amounts or addresses are visible on chain, period

Here search mine on any XMR block explorer:

It's indeed one of the very few projects that I don't call a shitcoin. It has real use cases that are difficult to attain without it. Though I can't ever see it being base money for the world.


Agreed, it should be substituting cash IMHO. Bitcoin is more of a global banking system replacement. When you need spending money, swap to monero and buy groceries etc...

If you need a large official international transfer, like buying a house or a business transfer, Bitcoin is perfect for the task.

If you need a large transfer and privacy is of outmost importance, you still can do that with Monero.

Monero is not suitable as a store of value, it is suitable for almost everything the rest.
