> House/car sized payments are totally fine,

You cannot show up places in the United States nations with 800k in cash to buy a house. Banks are told to immediately call the police and the cops will seize the cash. If you have a bunch of random wires from third parties going to your bank account, your bank will freeze your account. It is obviously not that simple, and huge swaths of the world are going to need access to an exchange. In the US this formula is simple. XMRUSD on Kraken. Kraken is fine with Monero in the United States because it’s not an overt act of money laundering, unlike many privacy “features” such as Tornado Cash, Coinjoins, and ZEC’s Orchard, which are a deliberate overt act to obscure the source or destination of funds. Kraken will kill your exchange account if you use those.

It's just a matter of time before Monero is totally criminalized (assuming it keeps gaining traction). Sure, you can't buy a house without engaging the jew financial system, but the way you overthrow that system is economically not by hiding under the floorboards.

This is also a myth. Monero has rangeproofs! the supply is perfectly auditable! Especially with upcoming FCMP++ — you can have theoretically perfect privacy AND supply verification!

Perfecly auditable with the permission of whoever owns the address being audited. The regime is not giving you that permission. But you'll give it to them (or you'll go to jail).

Exchanges actually useful to people in most countries kill accounts that they see depositing from coinjoins. Secondly, Coinjoins are also trivial to pierce. It does not provide serious privacy protections from a state adversary with resources and entire companies dedicated to analyzing coinjoins. Coinjoins are only useful if you want to pay for small things and never do something like “buy a house”, “pay rent” or “pay for your cancer treatment.”

It’s significantly better because at least my identity is just a public key and not dependent on the domain that comes after the @.

it can get better from here, certainly. I’d like to see more clients support Tor by default like Amethyst, so I can advertise an onion node.

Okay fine. But he was falsely advertising that he was running a “free speech” instance. If the asterisk on that is “according to Canadian law” he should not be doing that. It’s completely fraudulent.

I believe the heinous quotes from police and social workers in the report are real. But I do not believe the depraved hookers they quote and I think it is absolutely a grave strategic error, because these bitches are fucking lying and eventually this shit is going to be ridiculed and hurt the anti-immigration movement like the Satanic Panic shit did to the idea that elite pedophiles run society. The testimony is bullshit and all someone has to do is be like "this young woman was hung up by her feet and brutally whipped? I'm sure she has scars and extensive medical corroboration of this, correct?" and the whole thing collapses. Or some other bitches get a payoff to recant. They can also potentially drag these sluts to court over this shit under hate speech laws to make a real public spectacle of proving them liars.

The Trumpian way to confront this is just to be like "they're not sending their best. they're sending rapists, drug dealers. these people add no value to our society and abuse welfare." I mean we know how this shit works when it works. You can call them rapists, which they obviously are, without submitting lurid and obviously false claims of vicious sadomasochism next to insane claims of children being burnt to death in dog cages to the federal register. You don't need to risk your credibility doing that, because the situation is bad enough as it is. I think this shit is a misstep, and lowers my opinion of Restore.

This proves the system works without Luke. He claimed Bitcoin blockchain would be so overrun with retarded NFTs that it would obstruct Bitcoin’s ability to function as a financial ledger. In reality, the market opportunity had long passed and there was no interest for this on the blockchain. There was actually no retail market for NFTs on Bitcoin and his alarmist claims were proven completely false. Fees have stayed rock bottom throughout (because people like to use blockchains that are actually useful for real commerce).

BS again. This was the trend until BIP 110. Bitcoin needs honest Bitcoiners running Bitcoin nodes and that was said by Satoshi long ago. Core V30+ is a malware that invites even more spam. https://i.postimg.cc/2jKp1MkQ/spam-on-bitcoin-4.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/b507bf986f66e369dbc9c089a3558384...

Tether started on Bitcoin. In 2011 Dan Kaminsky embedded a memorial portrait of Len Sassaman into the Bitcoin blockchain. Anyone who has ever parsed the Bitcoin blockchain knows that it is full of non-financial data. You are a newfag. Luke is not doing shit except tricking idiots like you, and OP_RETURN was one of the few recent decisions Core made that was actually fine and not a big deal at all. Ljerkoffa retarded jerkoff who made resistance to Core’s malfeasance associated with low-IQ morons who clearly do not know anything about Bitcoin, have no technical acumen, and are vulnerable to manipulation by random idiots on Twitter saying things that sound good.

Not BS. Luke got completely owned and lost all his coin and has been caremad ever since. Not learning a single lesson from being completely owned, he subsequently hosted the Knots project on a box he already knew had been hacked, which he had never rebuilt or reimaged. For something as serious as Bitcoin, you don’t even want to keep a machine that has been owned physically present. Because a million nasty things can be stuck in places that are hard to clean, like BIOS firmware. Any critical infrastructure if you have serious crypto is basic. Box gets owned? You build a brand new box from scratch and sell the old one on eBay.

I’m sorry, Luke is not a serious person and it is knot a serious project.

Furthermore, the propagation of this kind of salacious BDSM erotica that the women inventing it are doubtless rubbing one out to will eventually be exploited by enemies of deportation efforts, because it is trivial to debunk this kind of ridiculous rape accusation. They lose to juries of their peers *every time*. Nobody believes this kind of shit. I appreciate what Restore is trying to do, but they need to look to the playbook of Donald Trump, who is presently carrying out the most aggressive deportation and denaturalization regime of any white country within anyone’s lifetime. And he did not accomplish this feat by elevating the claims of childless prostitutes to the national debate stage. This is not the way to success.
