That's why I'm interested in Monero. It's fungible and private, so nodes (master or otherwise) wouldn't know which transactions to block. If fiat evolves to digital-only, Monero will be the only digital currency you can

That's why I hate the word "smart" and probably shouldn't write comments first thing in the morning. I believe "smart" and "intelligent" are two different things: one is having knowledge, and the othe

I think that smarter people are more likely to victim-blame because it's harder to imagine themselves falling victim to whatever situation. For most problems, they seem like they could have been easily prevented by either being more kn

Ideally Monero would replace Bitcoin when buying things. Monero is more like cash than Bitcoin is. Unlike Bitcoin, paying with Monero doesn't immediately give away your balance and transaction history. Monero would also be better su

For anyone who wants to play Minesweeper without the hassle of trying to track down a known-good *.exe, I recommend Minesweeper X [0]. The board size isn't limited plus a ton of other features. It also works perfectly under WINE with

It's still pretty early in the adoption phase. I think cryptocurrencies still have room to appreciate in value. As for Bitcoin, it will still probably increase in value, but I believe Monero will increase more. A lot of people have t

How so? The blocksize and fees automatically adjust. The blockchain will get bigger, but as I understand it, there are some theoretical ways to trim some of it. Supposedly trimming isn't a big priority because the theory is that sto

It would be interesting to know the details of the collaboration as well as the plans for the end product. It could be that the Monero devs are doing all of the heavy lifting. I imagine whatever they are planning just deals with Monero onl

Monero is private by default which makes it fungible. You won't stand out by choosing to make a transaction private on an otherwise public coin. And there is no company which runs it and takes a 10% cut of all coins that will ever be

It's feasible to use a light wallet on your phone (connect to an external server). There is already an Android app that does this: monerujo Monero's blocks automatically scale, and transaction fees decrease as more transactions o

I'm glad I supported the Librem 5 fundraiser. At first Purism seemed to be gimmicky (a few hardware switchs, big deal), but then they continued to take privacy more seriously by supporting coreboot, accepting Monero as payment, and now

It increases the perception of traffic. You're more likely to notice a car stopped by stop sign and hear engines revving back up.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I joined with a fake name just to read about what's going on and figured there was no reason to use my real name there.

Awesome, and I just discovered Puri.sm now accepts Monero as payment. I'll be placing my order in a few hours using Monero (this changed my mind from "maybe" to "definitely"), but I have a question: In the hopefully

The page title is Monero JavaScript Mining. A more accurate title would be "Coinhive WebAssembly Miner Peaked at 5% of Global Monero Hash Rate". Mods, would it be possible to change that? It's definitely not 5% of the whole

Google Fi actually has great support. When I ported a number over to them, I had several issues and each time I called, they were able to help and I was always connected to someone instantly. That was a year ago.
