Funny, flatpak works on MX, but it kills performance. I launch any flatpak program and it's literally up to five minutes to launch. After re-imaging and using AppImages instead, it's blazing fast. There must be something about the way MX implements flatpaks that screws the pooch.
This is the first I've seen of this. We're talking about which redesign before the obvious discussion that we should have, "whether" the site needs a redesign. I'm open to changes if someone can justify them with a requirements change. Let's first discuss current requirements, whether the current site meets those requirements, then decide if we want to change those requirements. From a consumer of the website, the current site meets all the requirements for it's current mission. Thoughts??
Kraken de-listing in Germany, Streisand effect buying.
The silver lining to these de-listings is that there is one less place to manipulate the price, because we know the cabal doesn't have the stomach to stand 1 for 1 directly on the blockchain without using their re-hypothication schemes.
I have Monero that I will be looking to spend on essential materials for survival. Today, that is not possible. The only things I can purchase with Monero are things that I don't need for survival. If we can't make that happen, all the tech in the world isn't going to improve the utility for Monero. Catering to a fringe techie community will not get us there. I suggest that we create a task force and fund it through a CCS if need be in order to promote Monero. Outreach to businesses that will change their minds and begin accepting Monero for everything is essential, but none of the XMR donations seem to go toward that. I haven't been around that long and am sure there's things going on that I am unaware of, but the high visibility influencers I've seen don't seem to be emphasizing this angle. We should be bringing this up front and center on Matrix rooms, Simplex, Session, Bastyon, and Monero.town more regularly and there should be people getting paid some amount of Monero to carry ideas discussed to people outside the Monero community.
It's not wrong that you question your own beliefs. I think with new information being revealed every day after a lifetime of being fed propaganda, we all should be going through some of that. However, I strongly believe that airing all those thoughts and philosophies in a focused group like Monero can splinter the unity of the cause that we all support. That cause is the importance of private, decentralized, digital cash. The more we stray from topics related to that core focus, the more likely we will, as a group splinter and become ineffective as a block. While it's hard to be completely disciplined about sharing our particular concerns with various forms of government, I think we should all continually attempt to reel ourselves back in when we're beginning to spend too much time discussing politics in a forum about supporting private, decentralized, digital cash.
So if you're selling Monero for Fiat, when do you send the Monero to the purchaser's wallet? Sounds like what LocalMonero does, but Element may not be the best tool to set up the bonds required. With recent litigation, who wants to take custody of anything is an open transaction for any length of time? Look forward to hearing how that is solved programmatically.
It's too little, too late, by this point, any app that ties itself to your phone number unnecessarily has already been abandoned for more private, secure, and anonymous options like Session and Element/Matrix that are decentralized. The age of centralized systems that tyrannical governments can co-opt is coming to an end.
I went to that allark.io site and I didn't see any support for Monero, opened up to an Ethereum quote, looks less than useful for exchanging Monero for fiat.
Heard the latest podcast on MoneroTalk on BasicSwap DEX. Impressive capabilities, however with my skills, there is insufficient information for me to safely install the application on my Linux system. Suggest more work on Installation procedure and automating the install process on Debian Based Linux systems at a minimum.
Hey Shadow Rebel, I just installed Session Messenger for the first time after it was suggested to me by the MoneroTalk group. I tested it today with another privacy advocating friend of mine and we both though very highly of it. As a messaging app, it exceeds the polish and functions of Bastyon, but as a twitter-like social media app where you broadcast things out to a large group, Bastyon is better suited. Both are very good at helping to remain anonymous, not asking for telephone numbers or email addresses, but their similarities diverge from there. If you've got some very easy things that I can do to help you using the Session Messenger App, I'd be happy to assist. Perhaps you'd want to DM me here in monero.town with your Session ID and I could find you that way. I also called my nickname prancer389 over there, but I don't know if you can find me that way.
Regards, prancing389
Move the bulk of your wealth out of stock markets, IRA's, and 401k's and into precious metals like gold and silver. The state will always be evil, but a broke state is less evil. As entire societies move assets out of markets into physical precious metals, you contribute to the destruction of all fiat currencies globally. Think about it, if nobody accepted the USD, how long would the military industrial complex (MIC) last? Honest, gold and silver backed money provides a healthy constraint on the voracious appetite for making war by the MIC.
Monero may thrive as a primary store of wealth one day, but while the FINCEN machine is alive and well, it will remain under threat. Gold and silver do not suffer the same level of oppression from regulatory authorities, so it is a safer way to exit the fiat system presently with the bulk of your wealth.
