Yea, but privacy coins aren’t the majority

The stock market as well

Why are you posting this? Unrelated to the discussion

Because governments can’t remove it from you, because the value is universal and bypasses the flawed banking system, allowing for really low fees for money exchange internationally.

Crypto is pseudonymous and anonymous if you know how to hide your traces. You’re forgetting about privacy coins.

And the non-reversal aspect is also nice for vendors. You don’t know how much abuse some fields have.

PoS coins have no climate impact… etc

My “easy” solution for b) :

1. Buy XMR from wherever you want (even KYC exchanges if you want and can)
2. (if you’re already on a CEX and don’t want to bother, withdraw USDT/USDC/LTC/BCH… any crypto with not insane withdrawal fees and which is fairly popular, and then exchange it on a non-KYC exchange for XMR)
3. Exchange your XMR at a non-KYC (or non systematical) exchange for your desired traceable cryptocurrency.

I can recommend https://trocador.app/ - nice exchange aggregator that doesn’t require you to log into the exchange’s website, and that displays the level of privacy of each exchange.

By using this method, you always have non-ML non-KYC crypto that can be used to buy anything

For additional (and true) privacy, please churn the XMR while you have it. If you know, you know, but that’s a power user move.

Telegram leaks your data, including to France, which is my country, so they can go fuck themselves.

Telegram isn’t even E2EE. It’s like recommending Russia’s Discord over Signal…

Computers don’t steal your data for musk regime tho. Signal does.

I guess Microsoft isn’t a USA company. And Signal is apparently for-profit. And ICANN isn’t in the USA…

I love how Signal (doesn’t, according to you) takes months to invent a proxy to load GIFs and link previews through, so as not to leak your IP to the (American) companies.

? Even if the servers are backdoored, your messages are still encrypted by your key - as long as the server didn’t manipulate the keys at the first exchange, which you can check by verifying the security code

If it matches, then it’s okay. Such features exist in all encrypted messenger apps

It’s still a shitty workaround

If people contact me, I can’t expect them to create a group…

You can easily verify the keys of the person you’re speaking with, and they’re generated locally… so technically speaking, even if their servers are leaking, your messages are still unreadable, but yea that’s not ideal

And then went back on it to advertise telegram lmao

Btw don’t use computers, Musk use them

I hope it gets multi device support and sync one day, in a way that just works

You’re not a dick at all! It seems a bit random. They’ve moved my VPS somewhere else and the issues are now more rare but still happen from time to time

What’s the thing you use to visualize the ping? I’d like to set it up myself to check as well

Just tried massiveGRID and their VPS have massive issues. They randomly halt for a second to 5 seconds and just stops responding to any call. Sometime I randomly see a packet with 1000ms to 2000ms with no reason, while CPU usage is under 10% and the server is basically idling (on a simple ping).

This shit happens every minute or so, it’s so annoying

Avoid.

Okay

removes pants

😉👀🧌

That’s not what I wrote

Also, please stop with the Mozilla praise

You seem unaware of the bullshit they do. They’re not clean at all.

What you sent is to prevent your ISP (or government) from correlating your internet activity to your identity

What I’m talking about if preventing fingerprinting or correlating 2 sessions to the same website (the entity that tracks you is the website itself in this case)

I don’t get how that’s relevant to what I said. That’s still something else

This ^

If you have 2 accounts on a website for example, you can be easily exposed if using a niche VPN. If on a more popular VPN, it’s not as likely as some other users probably use those as well

Realistically, on bigger websites it doesn’t matter as much - it would really depend on your config. You’re bound to be fingerprinted at some point anyways. It’s just too hard and too annoying to blend in.

At this point I believe we should just aim at randomizing our fingerprint every few seconds by sending BS rather than aiming to all have the same one

The hate is mainly because they run current anti consumer techniques, such as:

• infinite fake sales (illegal is most countries)
• misleading fear mongering (VPNs don’t bring much security at all, and aren’t the only tool you need to achieve anonymity at all. Most people don’t need a VPN.) but this has some positive impacts: normies use VPNs so they become more accepted
• ultra aggressive misleading marketing: occasionally, false claims are made through sponsorships

They are also in a country where they can legally not provide any info to anyone (also in case of legal problem I believe), but it is a double edged sword, as it also means they can lie and sell our info and will never get sued over it

Such things makes it hard to trust, but the reality is they’re most likely fine to use because they already make a ton of money. They probably won’t risk to lose a business over this.

Compared to other options like mainstream VPNs and proton, they don’t have much servers, so, users

I’ll add that their servers are a bit slow (I have a gigabit connection) and they don’t have a server in my country
