Damn it's actually pretty good too!

Never Forget

Sounds too European for the "land of the free"

The fact that you can't discern what it is doing and it can't be disabled makes it invasive software. There's no shortage of qualified experts who agree with what I said and many others who point out glaring security vulnerabilities that come with using it. I linked a few for your convenience.

I'd say with all of the above at the very least its invasive software that has complete access to your system and all of its files and processes.

Spyware by definition is "Any malicious software that is designed to take partial or full control of a computer's operation without the knowledge of its user." The fact that you can't look into what all it can do makes it capable of doing this.

So glad I spent like $2K on a computer with one of these in it that has custom firmware and BIOS on it. Guess I'm just fucked eh? Never buying Intel ever again.

Its a threat, just worded to look like it isn't.

Can you elaborate on that? They turned over an ecologist activists IP?

How did you get it to work? Any guide specifically you would use?

Atomicswap is nice if you prefer using BTC as a trading pair to receive Monero with. I have heard good things about exch.cx, but I think they charge like 5% for swaps to Monero. Haveno sounds promising, but is probably months away from being usable. I wouldn't really recommend doing anything over 5Kworth of fiat per swap on any service though. 1 BTC is insane to me the fees aren't that high for BTC right now and it would have only taken a little bit more time and a negligible cost in transaction fees to spread that out into like 4 transactions.

The problem with bisq is you have to pay the transaction fees like 3 or 4 different times because you have to also lock up an amount of BTC pre transaction in case you try to scam someone and then when they send it back to you you also pay that transaction again. Despite monero making up 80% of their transactions they refuse to support it or another trading pair like LTC or BCH to facilitate cheaper trading pairs and that's seen widely as a problem and the main reason it isn't more popular.

Taking a beating? Bro its made up internet points the fuck? Lol

Lmao bro it was a NEW game in the NEW game section lmfao this shit is funny.

A "robust regulatory process" wouldnt have 10 million plus jars of peanut butter with E Coli contamination make it to the store shelves and take months to figure out about, AFTER some people die. That happened like 1 to 2 years ago. Now a bunch of kids get lead poisoning from Applesauce pouches so we take them off the shelves and act like we have some amazing system. How about those cancer causing dyes that california is banning andNOW the FDA is talking about, PERHAPS banning them nationwide. Our FDA is trash.
