Irem, smart and beautiful.

Love the project, the energy, the direction.

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.

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.

• More time spent on activities related to things like negotiations with POS terminal manufacturers implementation of Monero for all retail transactions worldwide.
• Less time spent on discussing national borders, government handouts, identity politics.

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.

I do not believe we have the price stability to be useful in lending applications, but if I were to do it, I'd be sure to take possession of collateral enough to completely repay the balance of 177 Monero. Otherwise, you're just asking to be taken for the fool. Signing over the title to their car might serve as collateral, where you hold a paper title that's he's physically signed over to you, then you just don't register it in your name, so the DMV still thinks the car is his. If he breaks the loan contract, you register the car in your name and have it repossessed legally. Still, I'd only do that if you know he can't move away easily. Interesting application, though, I'd like to hear more real world applications like this.

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.

I withdrew XMR from Kraken, in quiet times, that took over 12 hours

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

Cakepay stole my money. I purchased a Mastercard, it accepted my Monero from my private wallet and forwarded me to an outside organization to complete the transaction. The card failed everywhere I've tried it, engaged in numerous correspondence to both Cakepay and the second organization that issued card in order to solve issue, all of which were unsuccessful. I requested a refund, DENIED by both vendors. I requested they switch out card balance for Amazon Gift Card, DENIED. NEVER, ever do business with Cakepay again. Cake Wallet is a decent wallet, but CakePay should be avoided.
