good post
Simplex is fine
link is dead : "No longer available"
found more info on the git : https://github.com/KewbitXMR/haveno-app
looks promising but very beta - haveno app is on testnet
for the up to date haveno program visit : https://haveno-reto.com/#downloads
just downloaded v1.0.11
wallet sync takes about 15min on regular pc. still fewer than 10 peers live, but many more trades than a couple of months ago.

those are all tax havens, coincidence?
also could be vpn locations
welp
have we hit the local bottom?
long term, this is good for xmr, when binance inevitably gets torpedoed
looking at the stats, binance is about 34% of the exchange volume - kucoin, mexc, kraken all added together don't make up for it.
don't think many xmr users will want to KYC for some minor exchange.
I would direct people to localmonero for p2p trades, and tradeogre for private exchange.
any other suggestions? is any atomic swap protocol functional yet?
Yeah tbh fuck cloudflare, fully compromised
cloudflare to host top level US government web services .gov https://cloudflare.net/news/news-details/2023/Cloudflare-Wins-CISA-Contract-for-Registry-and-Authoritative-Domain-Name-System-DNS-Services/default.aspx
however I understand why many people use it. it's the biggest of the ddos protection services, and with ddos mitigation, the beefier the better. i've seen plenty of smaller, ethical, cypherpunk ddos services but when the big ddos comes they can't help too much.
with something like monero - it's an obvious target for censorship, even temporarily - imagine a financial crash, or nation state revolution where people want to get their money out. perfect time for monero adoption, but getmonero.org is down to ddos. therefore being with cloudflare is the best protection. however if sed flight to monero goes against the interests of the USA and they threaten to pull their $8million contract from cloudflare, things might change very quickly (one of many ways in which corporations are controlled)
i guess it's still up for debate - obviously monero is a force of decentralisation so cloudflare is antithetical. but what is the alternative?
bandcamp sold out
look forward to its demise

is good. I don't visit redd*t.
hope this place grows more. I know it has a big shot once redd*t goes public then the 'shareholders' demand more censorship.
2fa is a pain in the ass - especially for opsec if they require a mobile number or similar.
the onus is fully on the account holder to set and remember a password (a la private keys - you do use monero right?)
though having your genetic code hacked is pretty 2023 vibes
invidious.io is unstoppable. unshackle yourself from the g**gle gulag
This is a sign to me that it’s more valuable than fiat [having capital in crypto]
to me it's a sign that capital in crypto is a threat to the global banking mafia, they first want to destroy on-ramps, but today the BIS announced they will be surveilling bitcoin with the aim of de-anonymising transactions, such that off-ramps too can be tainted.

and yes, right now we have localmonero but that's a lot of eggs in one, admittedly good, basket...
