12 upvotes, only 3 out of the downvotes come from this instance.

[-] tusker@monero.town 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve 😁

edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store 😉

[-] Saki@monero.town 6 points 1 year ago

Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if you’re not mainstream, by definition most people won’t support you, won’t agree with you, won’t understand you.

Some things may be downvoted because they’re too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because you’re a bit too early. Like, if you’d said “being gay is not crime” or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvoted… Just a thought.

[-] gunnm@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Is this new?

[-] mister_monster@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.

If only I could pay for my groceries/gas/utilities/taxes/loans with crypto. Alas! I have to convert it back into fiat currency first.

[-] tusker@monero.town 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, there is a violent mafia that has a monopoly on currency and credit at this time. This is changing slowly as more and more rational people realize the scam that is being perpetrated.

Domain registration, DNS, VPN

Donations: grapheneos, briar, molly.im, Tor, eff

Just a few things I regularly use crypto for today.

[-] Rickard_Nutella@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Never heard of molly or briar before, thanks for the recommendations. What VPN do you use?

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 1 year ago

Mullvad, airvpn accept monero.

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/

Take a look at privacy guides, a lot of the software they recommend lines up with the Monero philosophy

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

"Regularly" how regularly do you get a VPN? Or donate to TOR?

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 1 year ago
[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago

Well, I can pay for my groceries, gas, and utilities with crypto already. Can't do the loans yet though.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn't this invalidate the banknote?

[-] tusker@monero.town 7 points 1 year ago

I like how you didn't call it "money" 👍

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

No, but it will get pulled from circulation the next time it gets deposited into a bank.

Banks take damaged or defaced notes and send them to the nearest Federal Reserve bank to be destroyed and replaced.

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

So in other words, put this stamp on every bill you ever touch. Got it.

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

It's technically a felony, it's just not worth tracking down the kid drawing a moustache in Jackson.

Besides being needlessly petty, wilfully defacing every bill you can is a good way to get investigated if it's a slow day for federal law enforcement.

[-] tusker@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not a felony = print trillions of notes and steal purchasing power of the whole population to fund crimes against humanity.

Felony = Stamp critical information on bank notes that empowers individuals in a peaceful manner.

This is not a sign of evil scumbags running a clownworld at all...

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

Sadness. Okay, I won't do it then.

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

You feeling alright, buddy?

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, but thanks for asking, pal.

[-] UncleIroh@merovingian.club 1 points 1 year ago

@shortwavesurfer @Anyolduser

What in the South Park is going on here??

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago
[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

I'm talking to you, or do you not count?

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

No. Talk to someone in real life. Someone who knows you and can help you out.

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, gotcha. Will do.

[-] Anonymous@monero.town 5 points 1 year ago

If you don't want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don't get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.

[-] Lemmchen@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.

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

Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 1 year ago

Even if your right, that's no reason not to try.

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org -2 points 1 year ago

Yeah.. It won't actually increase the value of crypto.. You'll just be associating it with nutjobs like anti-vaxxers or insurrectionists who are the kinds of people who do stuff like this.. The kinds of people who follow URL's they find on banknotes, you probably won't want in your community

You're just decreasing the value of both here..

[-] gunnm@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

We don't care of the value of USD.

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah. But what about monero? Again, it doesn't help it either.

[-] tusker@monero.town -2 points 1 year ago

You still believe in "vaccines" AKA toxic injections? 😆 You have a lot of catching up to do.

The data is clear vaccines are 100% useless and most likely harmful, it has been a fraud from the start. It is based on a nonscientific premise of virology.

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. I'll believe my mate who studied immunology for 5 years and has a PhD. Who was trained by people with actual lab and research experience. But sure mate. I'm sure a bit of Google and you're the expert eh lol

You can do what you want. But defacing bank notes just is cringe and turns people away from what you're trying to promote, because they will see it like a scam

That's why only crazy people do it

[-] fullmetalScience@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In personal discussions, people of such credentials confirmed that they also just "trust the [academic] process" and "don't have time" to check the foundations of their convictions. And that they didn't know, but "there surely was someone specialized" who does.

More clearly, in this context, saying you trust your mate is equal to saying you trust your recorder that is replaying the cassette that someone happened to have left in it.

[-] tusker@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You are right, it is best to trust the experts, they're totally not brainwashed with intense indoctrination and huge personal and professional conflicts of interest.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 1 year ago

Vaccines are very much real and effective.

[-] tusker@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

They are real effective at keeping big pharma profits sky high.

[-] Juno@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

What do you have against communicable diseases?
