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!"

I wrote this long 2-part letter because I owe it, big time, to the people who rallied for me, who believed it couldn’t be my fault❤️

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. Protecting privacy with electronic cash by Hal Finney Extropy #10, 1993 #Monero #XmrBazaar #P2P #cash 📄.pdf

If they cannot find vulnerabilities behind the monitor, they will try to find vulnerabilities in front of it.

Transacting directly with your peer is a revolutionary act. #Monero #Cash #P2P #XmrBazaar View quoted note →
