Either graphene has gotten a lot worse or something because I used to have a Pixel 3A with graphene and things worked very well. Although I have been using lineage OS on other devices a lot recently.

I will warn you that apps like Uber and Lyft might not work. But that's not because of the location. It's because those apps absolutely seem to require Google Play services to even boot. Pretty much as soon as you open those apps, they will crash.

Exactly this. My previous bank required me to use their app and it was closed source and so I ended up ditching that bank for a different bank that I could use their mobile website instead.

Yes, I've never had any trouble with apps being able to get GPS location without Google Play Services. Obviously, you won't get that Google location timeline because you don't have Google Play Services or Google anything on your device. But any GPS app will work just fine.

Have you done any digging to see what the actual problem with it is? Are they uncomfortable with the technology? If so, is the technology something you can handle? Are they uncomfortable with the fluctuations? In that case, use the 365 day moving average and then update the price every like four months or something. Even though Bitcoin is the most popular crypto, you may want to avoid it simply because it's an upskirt chain. And so every transaction you make to a supplier or whatever could be tracked. And so people could find out how much you pay for supplies, etc. In a business context, Monero would probably be better. Just simply because it has privacy. Also, since it is private and fungible, you, as a business owner, wouldn't have to worry about if the transaction you are receiving is tainted with bad coins from other illicit usage, etc., where on Bitcoin and other chains, you definitely have to worry about that.

Makes sense. What I've decided to do is try to help it grow by offering your standard items for Monero, such as AAA batteries, toasters, coffee makers, baking dishes, etc.

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Oh, I completely agree. I wouldn't touch that world coin shit with a 30-foot pole. As for Monero in your country, you could be one of the first.

Because everybody's totally going to believe that. LOL.

Haveno-Reto has become RetoSwap with a new X handle and a new SimpleX room. It would be best to remove the old SimpleX room and join the new one. At the moment the website is still haveno-reto.com but I expect that to be changed soon.

Not all crypto is this scammy. That's for sure. Monero is actually used as money and people buy items with it on a fairly regular basis. XMRBazaar and MoneroMarket have ~2900 items and services you can purchase directly with Monero and that number is growing at a steady pace. Plus there are business directories like Monerica that have more businesses listed.

I will be totally honest, I've never verified the signature, primarily for the same reason as other people. It has HTTPS connection, and I would highly doubt that the website had been hacked while I was trying to download it. However, that really is a terrible excuse, and I really should do better in the future. But honestly, I don't know how to verify signatures myself.

In order to boost Haveno adoption, We propose the following:

  • RETO lowers its trade fees to 0%

in return:

  • RETO receives the equivalent of X per year or Y per month with the first 4 months paid up-front, subsequent payments on a monthly basis.

  • Once monthly RETO volume exceeds 1M fiat and sustains it for 3 months in a row, RETO reintroduces a fee and pays back any fees above X until the total amount paid back is equal to the total amount previously received.

Example:

If RETO earns Z in a month, it pays back Z-Y.

Should volume suddenly be drastically higher than expected, we will not reimburse RETO for “lost” trade fees and assume we have reached our goal in boosting Haveno adoption.

This agreement is initially going to last until 2025-12-31 with the first payment dated back to 2024- 11-01 under the condition that the 0% trade fee goes into effect with the release of Haveno v1.0.13.

So recently I've been seeing the trend where Android OEMs such as Google, Samsung, etc. have been extending their software release times up to like five, six, and seven years after device release. Clearly, phone hardware has gotten to the point where it can support software for that long, and computers have been in that stage for a very long time. From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Edit: The battery is the thing that goes the fastest so manufacturers could just offer new batteries and that would solve a lot of the problem.

Why use HTTP over SOCKS5? SOCKS seems much more common.

I just finished this incredibly interesting book and will leave the description from my book service below.

"Worst Case Scenario" by T J Newman

"#1 internationally bestselling author T.J. Newman is back with Worst Case Scenario. When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications. The International Nuclear Event Scale tracks nuclear disasters. It has seven levels. Level 7 is a Major Accident, with only two on record: Fukushima and Chernobyl. There has never been a Level 8. Until now. In this heart-stopping thriller, ordinary people--power plant employees, firefighters, teachers, families, neighbors, and friends-- are thrust into an extraordinary situation as they face the ultimate test of their lives. It will take the combined courage, ingenuity, and determination of a brave few to save not only their community and loved ones, but the fate of humanity at large."

This right here is just part of why amateur radio is such a necessary vital service.
