I said it once, I'll say it again about all the compliancepunks out there: 'Compliant privacy' is like... you can have triple anal and still be technically a virgin, right? (Pardon my French, but it’s the only analogy that fits... pun intended.) What is your plan if it's ABSOLUTELY impossible to comply with the future EU Chat Control Act AND still protect users' privacy? Evgeny Poberezkin, are you ready to be the next Ladar Levison? Can you publicly promise will SimpleXChat will follow Lavabit's path IF it's impossible to comply?

If we do nothing, new technologies will give the government new automatic #surveillance capabilities that Stalin could never have dreamed of. The only way to hold the line on #privacy in the information age is strong #cryptography . Zimmermann, Why I Wrote PGP https://philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/WhyIWrotePGP.html

Your brain is the most important privacy tool. Everything else isn't even a close second!

Even #Bitcoin purists admitted it's a great tutorial despite the mention of #Monero and #XmrBazaar: "Set-up bare-metal headless Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for a Bitcoin and/or Monero node." "TL;DR, go to

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. Prof. de la Paz Robert Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress View quoted note →

Freedom is radical responsibility.

I wanted to update you on the recent XmrBazaar.com downtime. It looks like our growing popularity caused a sudden spike in traffic that overwhelmed our servers: a clear sign that word is spreading and more people are discovering what we’re building! We’ve already taken action by migrating to a more robust setup with Nginx, complete with rate limiting to better handle surges. We’re also planning additional upgrades to ensure even smoother performance moving forward. Thanks for your understanding and continued support: exciting times ahead as we keep improving and expanding! #Monero #XmrBazaar

"Several Bitcoiners from Nostr tried paying with Lightning, but it kept bouncing, so they swapped for XMR! And get this: if you ask the top arbitrators and ‘legendary’ bitcointalk.org users (from the link above) what currency they prefer to be paid in, they say XMR. You can argue all you want on X, Reddit, StackerNews, or BitcoinTalk, but in the real world, people just want what really works: Monero. And the loudest critics? They secretly want it too. It’s like an unhappy marriage: you’re dreaming of Monero-chan, but you’re stuck with Bitcoin-wife, forcing a smile and telling everyone how happy you are. A textbook case of life of quiet desperation!"

Just as a merchant will accept cash from a customer without demanding proof of identity, we also want our electronic money system to allow similar transactions to take place, without the identity of the people involved being revealed to each other, or even to someone who is monitoring the network.
