Kind of a broad question and depends what you are looking at and comparing to. For a few examples Monero is more decentralized when it comes to mining and mining pools (anyone can mine no special hardware required, and p2pool exists), but more centralized when it comes to node count and contributors to code (if you're basing it on number of contributors) than Bitcoin. They're both similar in regards to node software centralization.

The problem is how do you know who the real owner is? Can't prove it with the private keys anymore because the original thief and copycat thieves will also know it. Could also be abused by moving your own coins to another wallet, pretending you lost them to this attack, and get compensated while still owning your original coins.

Thanks man!

Specifically the "monero forces privacy on users" is such a dumb framing I often see. You can easily flip it and say "bitcoin forces transparency/surveillance on users".

Whats relevant: Which carries greater risk?: erring on the side of privacy or transparency to the world?
With default privacy you can always be transparent with your transactions later if you want to be.
With default transparency you CANT later decide to be private with those transactions.

Do you know how to reach out to the Monfluo dev? Maybe you can ask them if they would be willing to sign the Zapstore repo @shortwavesurfer2009

I tried but the SimpleX link on codeberg isn't working and I don't have a Matrix account

From what I've heard for example Cake wallet is just waiting for Breez SDK to add it then it's a simple matter of including it in the wallet UI. Supposedly it will be soon. Not sure about wallets that use other Spark implementations but I'm guessing it's a similar reason they don't have it yet either.

Probably the UI. I don't think any Spark wallet has unilateral exit flow built in them yet.

Agree your rules on your own node isn't censorship (censorship requires preventing other parties from doing what they want with each other on their own nodes/interactions), but you can add bare pubkeys in tx extra.

Isn't part of the issue that started the whole BIP110 vs Core the changes to the default relay policy? Kind of what Monero users have been saying forever, in a broader sense, that defaults matter a lot (and downplayed by many bitcoin maxis when it comes to privacy). A little self-reflection seems due from both sides.

click the zap icon on someones post like normal, and on the top left of the tip windows there will be a drop down menu to choose what you want to tip them in (if they added different payment methods of course)
