So now they are pushing some new centralized mess that will take a decade to complete and have the same result as LN.

Or they can just increase the block size with about 10 minutes of effort, which should have been done 10 years ago. BTC has failed and continues to fail.

They have become experts at stalling progress to clear the way for CBDC's.

Better late than never, but it would have been much better if these skilled people worked on a proper DEX or something useful all this time instead of BTC "privacy" non-sense.

"your MEP" is paid for and/or compromised and will do anything they are told by their owners, don't waste your time. Put your energy towards building a world they cannot control with fake counterfeit money and threats of violence.

Good point, atomic swaps are useless for the average exchange user.

A better option is to use secure peer to peer platforms such as https://localmonero.co

There are a couple potential solution in test phase right now, namely Serai and Haveno decentralized exchanges.

ATM's of all types will accept Monero, eventually.

Let's do it!

Just like any fund raising site there will be beggars and scammers. Just trying to raise awareness about the platform so we can get more legit projects on there.

That is a good idea about adding FOSS projects 👍

Really excited for Serai, hope it does not end up as vaporware 🤞

Unless the "regulators" are engaged in "un-lawful" actions, then we will just use Monero.

Yes, I do understand, but calling it something like safe-secure or dignity. Something with a positive vibe.

You notice the bankers called their pay system FedNow not slavePay, though the latter describes it better.

You are a hero!

I am pushing Cake Wallet whenever anyone asks me anything about "crypto".

PS. Great move in getting cake into f-droid, the app store mafia will surely ban it soon. It already is flagged as "dangerous" on some flavors of android.

This is correct, the state has no jurisdiction over Monero. Once you use their toxic fiat system that is when they hook into you.

Of course they will try to trick you into thinking they own you and everything you do, this is the devilish deception and tactics they use as they have a firm grip on most people via sophisticated fear based mind control.
