John Bush may not have gotten the memo that Bitcoin is not worth our time, but I think he's onto Monero and most certainly has kept up with what the US government is doing with crypto. Definitely worth a listen.

 

Good article talking about privacy crypto. Basically, I look at this as positive when anyone discusses privacy in a public forum, since most have completely conceded their rights to privacy in today's society.

Irem, smart and beautiful.

Love the project, the energy, the direction.

Move the bulk of your wealth out of stock markets, IRA's, and 401k's and into precious metals like gold and silver. The state will always be evil, but a broke state is less evil. As entire societies move assets out of markets into physical precious metals, you contribute to the destruction of all fiat currencies globally. Think about it, if nobody accepted the USD, how long would the military industrial complex (MIC) last? Honest, gold and silver backed money provides a healthy constraint on the voracious appetite for making war by the MIC.

Monero may thrive as a primary store of wealth one day, but while the FINCEN machine is alive and well, it will remain under threat. Gold and silver do not suffer the same level of oppression from regulatory authorities, so it is a safer way to exit the fiat system presently with the bulk of your wealth.

 

Finally, a nice looking female talking sense about Monero

Even if you're ignorant to the evils of your master, you're still complicit. Ignorance is NOT a defense, especially when there is so much evidence of governments deliberately causing harm to it's citizens!

The silver academy is a sub-stack that covers what happens in silver. It's readers are mostly precious metals collectors. They do not sell any precious metals and receive no proceeds from any sale resulting from you reading this article. You could have actually read and researched this yourself, but like most people, you don't take the time to actually read things through. Read thoughtfully, carefully, don't scan over and fire out a response before you understand the validity of sources cited.

 

Don't be a one trick pony in your opt-out strategy. Diversify!

I don't know if this is true, but it doesn't look good for Jeff.

Funny, flatpak works on MX, but it kills performance. I launch any flatpak program and it's literally up to five minutes to launch. After re-imaging and using AppImages instead, it's blazing fast. There must be something about the way MX implements flatpaks that screws the pooch.

I've bounced around alot, have numerous distributions on my Proxmox Hypervisor, but my favorite daily driver, for a really old computer, is ( MX Linux ) I've twice tried other distros to see if I could improve upon the stability and performance, as well as the very convenient availability of a feature rich KDE Desktop environment, and I came back to MX twice now. When I get a new fast computer, I'll switch to Qubes OS, for it's built-in hypervisor and security/privacy and isolation features, but until then, I'll stick with MX.

IMHO, there are excellent reasons why MX ranks highest. I think it's original roots in AntiX with the elimination of systemd has afforded it a substantial advantage over stock-standard Debian, my last daily driver which always had performance issues. With MX, on same hardware, system lock ups are far less frequent when the system is overtaxed.

 

Nihilist puts out another very informative article, great work!

A little off topic, but with the way censorship is ramping up all over the globe, this may be the new norm for savvy Linux users everywhere.

As a community, we should all abandon centralized servers and migrate to decentralized solutions. I'd support any decentralized system supporting privacy and anonymity, something that asks no personally identifying information such as phone number or email address. Something like Bastyon or Brighteon.io . Some attributes are below:

  • This solution is directly on a blockchain, has no corporation behind it, much like Monero.
  • Plus it's got many of the features that Twitter or Lemmy has, we can set up private or public groups and memberships.
  • It supports direct, private messaging, as well as voice and video chat.
  • No email address or phone number is required, so you can remain as anonymous as you choose.
  • There's already a strong group of liberty-minded individuals. While they aren't all crypto-savvy, they are predisposed to solutions benefiting privacy.
  • Adequate settings to block offensive speech, only controlled by the individual, so you can limit what YOU see, but not what I see.
  • Built-in design is the requirement for small amounts of PKOIN, the coin that powers the blockchain.

This last bullet about requiring PKOIN has the effect of reducing spammers and trolls, but does not eliminate them entirely. While those desiring to have a megaphone and upload large amounts of data will have to pay, the average user posting photos, articles, and links to external sources normally have no cost. I've never needed to purchase PKOIN and have steadily posted links to articles of interest repeatedly since starting to use the platform nearly a year ago.

I would volunteer to help set up any groups that the community wants to duplicate over there. Please contact me if there's anything I can do to assist in this migration should it occur.

What I would like is all the best Monero stuff (Wallets / Mining Tools / customized browser bookmarks, etc.) preloaded and configured on a full blown Linux Distribution, delivered as a boot-able, installation ISO image where I can burn a DVD or create a USB Startup Disk. You may want to create several flavors, one for low end hardware like what's in MoneroNodo, and one for dedicated mining rigs if that makes sense. I would want the version from the MoneroNodo released first.

It's ok to offer some images for various hypervisors like Gnome Boxes, VMWare, and VirtualBox, but the best format of all would be the LXC container in a tarball released to Turnkey Linux like they use in Proxmox, because the performance is much, much better than any virtual machine and it's most lightweight of the other formats, making the best use of system resources.

I could help test and would donate, especially if the LXC container were released to Turnkey Linux and was made available thru that channel on not a custom download/install.
