Undoubtedly the best naming scheme. The x2 suffix should not be dropped tho, because it shows that USB and the alt-DP mode can be used at the same time.

I’d encourage you to copy/paste any or all of this

Your post may resonate with many people in the community, but I certain it won't with the general population. When recommending anything, it's best to focus on things the listener cares about, so tailor the message and don't copy and paste.

What can we do today to increase Monero adoption?

Use it when buying and explicitly say you accept it when selling. It's literally that simple.

Can they teach me how to remove the license check from an app? I don't want it for free, I paid for it and would gladly pay another 50 times, rather I want to get rid of the google play framework altogether and it's the only irreplaceable app that doesn't work on microG :(

It really is great for everything online. For example this lemmy instance is 100% donation funded and hosted on a provider that accepts monero.

Telegram requires a phone number to sign up, so xmr peeps are reluctant to use it. A lot of the community is on matrix/element for this reason, and I'd suggest to create an account there, so that people can contact you easily.

The newly announced "ASIC" is neither an ASIC nor more efficient then modern ryzen processors, making the news a nothingburger. If anything it is impressive that even with semi-custom chips they can't outperform regular CPUs, and a testament that RandomX works as intended.

Our community always cared a lot about decentralization, so naturally we had to have our own instance, even before the reddit api exodus. It only made sense to use the instance of the community I vibe with. Besides this, we offer:

  • closed signup to limit bot account creation, you need either manual verification or a signup fee for anonymous users
  • high performance instance which is entirely community funded with the signup fees + anonymous donations
  • unlimited access to the fediverse, there's no de-federation unless required by law

Understandable sentiment, I cant stand the crypto bros either. For me, it's not about lambos or whatever, I just wanna be able to buy stuff without paypal, mastercard and anybody else tracking my every step.

On the canvas we made it very clear from the beginning to not damage surrounding art and pushed for a creative use of the area (besides the coins, but come on, almost everybody has some flag or logo on the canvas)

Well you're kinda right, the "crypto" space as a whole is mostly driven by speculation and hype about price. We encourage neither, and focus on building private digital cash.

This is reflected in how our instance is run, zero user data is required for signup. To prevent bots we have a one time fee of about 1.5 USD. This also covers about half the expenses, the other half is provided by anonymous donations. The hosting is directly paid with Monero, making the instance and us a bit more independent from large corporations and especially payment providers.

Because you are here on lemmy, I figured you share some of those values, and that you might find use in private transactions. If you want become rich, you should look somewhere else.
