In-App Monero

This project is a great use-case for Monero, and sacrificed creating it's own cryptocurrency to help Monero's adoption.

It already features in-app Monero payments, and will be in the future decentralizing out the Wireguard nodes, starting with Monero influencers getting the first offers. Let's first understand what it is, then how it helps Monero.

Browser Fingerprints

LibreWolf is marketed as “anti-fingerprint”, but this web browser can’t even beat fingerprint-com’s free demo,

I closed Librewolf, then re-opened it. And that same ID comes up on repeat visits, even in private mode. But then Librewolf installed on a different VM: with the same default settings and version, produces a DIFFERENT UNIQUE fingerprint,

Brave

Brave Browser is also vulnerable to complete fingerprinting.

Brave’s “anti-fingerprint” mode does not change these results. Fingerprint.com is on THOUSANDS of websites, through their Javascript and API calls. TrustPilot, Western Union, TD-Ameritrade, Dropbox, & 6 thousand others. You’re very likely using sites with their services, without even knowing it.

Tor Browser Breaks Websites

The government made Tor Browser to protect them, and NOT for your privacy.

Even if Tor IPs aren't blocked, then blocking JavaScript in "strict" mode breaks many websites.

HydraVeil

HydraVeil has the goal of allowing you to separate your life into isolated browser fingerprint profiles.

3 pieces:

It's 3 things:

a) a replacement for virtual machines

b) a linux browser distribution

c) VPN or Tor->socks5 proxies, with isolated burner Monero billing

Replace Virtual Machines

HydraVeil launches isolated profiles. Each of these profiles has a second graphical environment that realistically creates a new screen display size, browser version, and matches your timezone to the IP address.

Load Speeds

We discussed in the articles linked below, how Cloudflare measures and records ping speeds, across multiple services.

VPN or Tor->Socks5 Proxies

With HydraVeil, each profile gets its own IP address, giving you a new load speed. These can be completely anonymous as it's browser-only, so a different VPN can be used system-wide. There's also Tor -> socks5 options for sites that block Tor, such as MoneroTown. Each gets it's own burner Monero billing.

Browser Distro

HydraVeil acts like a 2nd Linux distro for browsers. We removed the telemetry and spyware from these browsers, while as Firefox from other Linux distros has malware by default.

Monero's Use-Case:

Monero's unparalleled privacy makes it the strongest choice for powering this VPN, since it provides the best cover for which profiles are you. By offering such incredible utility, HydraVeil gives an excellent use-case for Monero adoption, and directly encourages users to keep an update-to-date sync'ed wallet for regular use.

XMRBazaar

This is a large and ambitious project, especially for an organization without KYC bank accounts, that is registered purely with XMRBazaar, as a legal system. We seek to encourage awareness of the Bazaar, and establish a parallel economy outside traditional restrictive institutions.

Resources to Learn More

Consider taking some time to learn more from our documentation and website. And try it out for under 0.00306 XMR. https://simplifiedprivacy.com/why/this-vpn-browser-combo.html

Very likely you know most of the content in this podcast, however, you may find it interesting to hear about the "Paradox of Monero"

What if I told you that by making restrictions, it actually cripples the ability to regulate it by under their own legal systems? This section is at 6 minutes in,

Monero's New Upgrade will Radically Kill Most Attack Vectors.

But... the community still suffers from "Just My One Thing" Disease. And this coming full chain membership proof upgrade won't change this.

Monero is money. It's not an operating system. It's not a CDN. It's not a social network. It's not an encrypted messenger.

You know, the Bull Dies in Spanish Bullfighting, because it's so focused on the Red Silk, that it misses the sword.

In "Just My One Thing", our team points out the logical flaws of supposed privacy, political, and free speech groups, being so narrowly focused on promoting ONLY their own cause.. that they miss the bigger picture, and it becomes self-defeating..

This 10-minute podcast episode covers: Failed Bitcoin Maxis, Monero, Linux, Nostr, Libertarians, Journalists, & more..

In the EU, they are voting on Chat Control now. This is deciding if they'll make encrypted chats illegal. This has huge effects for VPNs & Monero.

In the US, Chinese hackers have infiltrated the phone lines, And the FBI is telling ordinary Americans to encrypt their chats.

New Article: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/eu-thugs-chat-control/us-thugs-promote-encryption.html

Everyone in the EU should be pushing their politicians on this issue, as it definitely affects Monero in the EU.

XMR surges past $200. Up 15% today!

But I argue that Monero is worth more than the KYC exchanges say. And I'm looking to prove that by offering great discounts with solid legal systems.

Google's Official Store just ENDED their Black Friday sale, They now charge $799 for a new Pixel 9

But Simplified Privacy goes even lower: just $580 (in XMR)

You pick: still sealed in the box or flash GrapheneOS Black, White, or Wintergreen, 128G storage, Google's 1-year warranty,

With XMR up so much, and our price down so low, This is a slam dunk win for you.

We're trying to increase the use of Monero, and attract more people to XMRBazaar by offering such great discounts on brand-new and high-demand electronics. And through the use of Monero arbitration legal systems, increase trust in the Bazaar.

https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/5Ve2/

When you connect to cellphone towers: You’re using the modem which has an IMEI identification number. Using a DeGoogled phone and a VPN does NOT change this from revealing info about the hardware TO the TOWER, such as where it was bought. And who bought it.

If you buy it in Monero, that solves the problem. But other DeGoogled providers charge more, while as we charge LESS:

Official Google Store: $799

Simplified Privacy: $665

YOU PICK: We Flash GrapheneOS OR you can get it still sealed in the box.

Guys, Get on Nostr, there's a growing Monero community trolling Bitcoin maxis,

Garnet is a new nostr client to tip XMR,

for example: as Italy Raises Capital Gains Tax on Bitcoin from 26% to 42%:

SPECIAL SALE: As Monero is delisted from Kraken (for the EU),

Simplified Privacy jumps into the fray, to buy XMR, by selling discounted hardware & services

We’re offering $10 off your Phone or VPS combo purchase, to offer stability to the market and defy oppression.

First, if new exchanges aren't listing it, then basic logic would tell us that there's only so many times they can delist XMR to cause a price-propaganda event, and eventually the bad news is priced in. So just hold and ignore it for a week.

And the Kraken insiders sold prior to the announcement, that’s why XMR fell more than other coins in the general market. So if you sell now, you’re essentially letting them urinate on your wallet and manipulate your emotions.

Second, to prove my first point, if you don't want to hold your XMR, I will accept it right now today for a Phone or Email setups at a discount. You want to get rid of it? Come on down, and get a completely off-the-radar DeGoogled Pixel or an awesome VPS setup to be self-sovereign with all your communications (email, xmpp, docs, ect)

The invasion of your privacy is only first beginning, if you do nothing and sit by, it’s only getting worse. Stop just liking memes and complaining, and start taking action.

I’m here to hold your hand through the process,

Elon Musk censors for Brazil, This is a reverse of his previous stance, with chilling effects

Arweave up 17% on Double Censorship News,

But since Arweave is NOT private, this highlights Monero's use-case for swaps:

And highlights the need to get Monero official accounts and the community off twitter, and onto Nostr and Bastyon.

A CSS proposal isn’t going to get your landlord to accept XMR, that comes from you and culture. And depending on what country you live in, Coincards, Cake wallet, bitrefill (not xmr), ect. Do let you buy some basic items or food.

The thing is, my proposal doesn’t cost CSS money. I’m asking you to have fun on a social network. I'm not catering to the "fringe techie community", if anything this is easier to understand than any of the other networks, because it works in a web browser

[-] SummerBreeze@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago

Yes of course they can use all of these different tools, but having too many tools kills the network effect. I was telling you about arweave before, did you know Lens posts to Layer 3 arweave, so it can scale? Lens has DNS & does pictures over Nostr. Will Nostr folks find out? No, no network effect.

RebelNet uses Nostr, but Nostr by itself is hard for new users. When you create a new keypair on your local device, you are meaningless with no discovery. In order to be heard, people follow mass amounts of other people they dislike, which ruins their feed and kills the fun. While on the RebelNet, all voices are heard based on merit, and you can build your Nostr following which you then own off-platform.

Nostr clients don’t differentiate between the same post being reposted by a different user. This forces you to reread the same posts, creating resentment against the content creator. This resentment is why after you go viral, your next few posts get a dead response as people automatically skip rereading your stuff.

In contrast, the RebelNet can link all of these. Interoperability is the path to adoption. In the same sense that converting cryptocurrencies from one to another makes them more widely used. This is bigger than a “website”, it’s the layer 0 protocol.

Thanks for bringing to our attention that a random security firm has false flagged the domain.

[-] SummerBreeze@monero.town 4 points 1 year ago

Few points regarding this,

  1. It's already built, check it out linked-out.me & vid.simplifiedprivacy.com are federated w/ Nostr & Ethereum signing

Regarding Mitra, 2. When asked about Mitra, DegenRocket said it uses an outdated or less secure Ethereum signing method. And he hasn't yet severed the link between the IP addresses of federation and the identity with Ethereum post-bans. Our team has spoken with Mitra's lead dev, he's a great guy. However, he expressed a lack of interest in Nostr. 3. Signing with Monero (instead of Ethereum or Nostr) is dangerous IF it becomes popular, as it becomes known who wallets are in RingCTs.

Regarding Lemmy, 4. The bulk of Lemmy is socialist. In fact, I can't even post anywhere except Monero.town because they are so brainwashed. Lemmy.one, lemmy.ml, beehaw, all banned Simplified Privacy from posting even basic tutorials on their relevant Linux groups. So why are we going to put in work to downgrade the censorship aspect, just to interact with people who won't even hear one word outside their propaganda bubble?

Eh, you're trying to copy another user's npub? Click the profile and it gives you that ability in the GUI.

Also check out Linked-Out.me its a nostr marketplace/forum for monero. Say you're npub, we'll whitelist you

There is currently a fee bug on Monero, that the wallet doesn’t automatically bump the fee when there is a backlog. This fee bug is causing sync issues with many wallets. Only if you're self-hosting a node or using unpopular public ones are you ok. The bug has already been solved with Anonero.io, and other wallets will be rolling out fixes shortly.

There are rumors that Nostr’s creator is behind a spam attack. Simplified Privacy addresses this and has a ready working solution: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/monero-attack-nostr/

The EU has:

  1. Moved faster than the US towards CBDC tyranny
  2. Digital Services Act which has privacy and censorship concerns
  3. Politicization of Certificate Authorities (Cas)
  4. France banned non-EU VPNs, although it’s not really enforced yet, it’s chilling effect
  5. France jailed people just for using Tor / Tails

In contrast Shinjiru has a good track record on censorship. If you look them up, the only criticism I found is someone complaining they would NOT take down someone else doing copyright infringement. While of course, I can not endorse breaking the law, I do support free speech.

[-] SummerBreeze@monero.town 4 points 2 years ago

True. What's crazy is that the US Treasury in this particular press conference, still cited a WSJ article that even the source for that article has clarified that it's not true: that Hamas used crypto to finance terrorism. In reality, Israel itself funded Hamas
