Does anyone else use the #foldapp and have a good use case they can explain? I understand a large part of the app is about disconnecting from the traditional financial system but I find that the app seems to just be pushing its users towards more of its own custodial services, and has become hostile to those who want to opt out. Maybe these services do offer value to a certain person's use case? Id love to learn more even if it isn't useful for me I'd love to better understand what kind of person this app can help!

I need to make a full post outlining my grievances with the #foldapp when I get the chance. But I also feel like it would be weird dissing something I'm still dependant on for the time being. hopefully I'll have figured something else out soon.

I use the built in miner that comes with the gui wallet dirt simple and once your node is running it takes like 2 minuets or less to start mining :D

It's pretty reasonable to do on almost any device. Can't recommend it enough if you are already running your own node!

Another good option other than atomic swaps might be bisq? I've hardly used it but ive looked into it and it seems like it you are swapping often enough it might just work. Not truly trust less though, hard to beat atomic swaps if you want truly trust less exchanges. But atomic is just so cumbersome and liquidity tends to have a higher spread.

Privacy features on btc like lightning are quite useful for enabling this kind of thing, plebs atomic swap dirty btc to whales with the kind of liquidity required to clean it in exchange for xmr at a comparably minimal markup. Works beautifully tbh.
