How wonderful the market is! 😌 Market = voluntary human activity. Due to panic (which is stronger than the attack itself), the price of Monero fell only by ~7% / 24h. [ freaking XMR doesn't want to die ] Those few CEXs that for some strange reason haven't delisted XMR yet, closed the withdrawal = added more panic. Crypto media (in most cases, corrupt cunts) have buried XMR dozens of times since yesterday. Popular people in X and Nostr, heard the bell, although I don't know where it is, and added panic with their inaccurate posts = added more panic. The first test network (alpha stressnet) for FCMP++ will be launched soon = XMR already gets "quiet attention"... It's not hard to guess what will happen to the price of XMR when the developers inform us about the status of FCMP++. It's also not hard to guess what will happen to the price of XMR when FCMP++ is in the mainnet. And my post is not about the price of 1 XMR in fiat (although for whom it matters, and that's fine), but about how thousands of people around the world are wondering what to do and how to benefit from it. How wonderful the market is...

While you're buying the panic around the Monero attack. Does anyone happen to remember the Bitcoin fork in March 2013 (block ~225430) due to a compatibility issue between Core 0.7 and 0.8, which led to a temporary chain split and the appearance of about 24~31 orphaned blocks?

Not financial advice - but I'm not selling XMR (because of the attack). Even if the project dies and XMR = 0, I'll stick with it until the end because my principles can't be bought. Don't be like me, and always think for yourself. View quoted note →

The closer FCMP++ is to Monero, the stronger the attacks on the project. Perhaps Monero developers should bow down to Uncle Sam and kiss the government's boot like Zcash? [for those who don't understand, this is sarcasm.] If Monero can be destroyed, then it must be destroyed.

Unfortunately, this is true for a large number of users. 👇🏻 Especially those living in developed countries (I am referring to communism and surveillance by the state and banks). In countries where the black market is not perceived as something negative, there is usually a very well-developed over-the-counter market, where you can buy USDT-TRC20 for cash and then... and then you either have to go to the p2p market (Retoswap) and... wait for a good price / the liquidity you need, which can take several days (I know what I'm talking about here). Don't get me wrong, Haveno / RetoSwap is a very necessary project in the Monero ecosystem, but this ecosystem will not be complete without an AMM/liquidity pool-based DEX. The community needs it. I don't care about your feelings about Zcash, but if I suddenly want to buy ZEC for 50k USDT without using CEXs (and some "magical tricks" of the black market), it's easier to do so, even though ZEC's liquidity (by all measures) is lower than XMR's. I have big hopes for @kayabaNerve and @SeraiDEX.

I supported xmrbazaar.com with a donation, and I encourage you to do the same. This is an important project in the Monero ecosystem that benefits people who want to voluntarily interact and pay each other with XMR. ❤️

Here is a recipe for tereré 🧉 from a Slavic gringo. * Half a lemon * Half a lime * A couple of fresh mint leaves * A little of fresh ginger * 200 grams of apple juice (juice, not the filtered crap they sell in supermarkets) * 800 grams of very cold water * Yerba mate (whichever you like) Cheers!

I'm going to buy Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal for my ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11. I'm tired of this heater.

And now, without emotion... 🙂 As always, [ without hatred ], just a question. How can this be justified by cryptocurrency (or members of the Zcash community), which strives to be free, private/anonymous money? For example, I cannot justify this in any way from my agorist point of view. Anyone can try to convince me that there are "good states" and that "we need to work with regulators", but it would be easier to kill me than to make me fall for this propaganda. The link:

[ without hatred or sarcasm ] I have 1 ZEC, what's next? I will continue with my simple question: what can I buy with _shielded_ ZEC, apart from NymVPN? Please give me a list of merchants who will accept _shielded_ ZEC from me. Thank you.

I am sometimes shocked at how FOSS developers refuse free money (crypto donations) so that people can support their project!!!! And then they shut down the project because there is no money, or sell it to a company that closes the code and embeds advertising.

❌Cryptocurrency will not become a means of payment in Ukraine — this is the National Bank's "red line", said the main central banker. ---- Dear Nationa Bank of Ukraine, here you go 🖕🏻. Ukraine has a huge OTC market. No one can shut it down.

You don't have to be a developer to help improve free and open source software. Applause to /u/woodser, the lead developer of Haveno. 🫡

Which Nostr client do you prefer for Android? Preferably one without built-in trackers.

What else can I watch endlessly, besides a campfire in a quiet forest, or a mountain river? How popular Bitcoiners lick the boots of the state (and el Comandante Bukele). 😌

Recently, in one of the cities of Europe, I saw how these bastards were collecting money. I was asked if I wanted to donate money to a good cause, and I replied that I already do so, without intermediaries and parasites such as the UN.
