Weren't you hosting this server out in the baltics? Why are you still beholden to the german """ laws""" ?

Feel free the share the group join link far and wide. As far as I am concerned, the more Monero enthusiasts in there, the better.

Simplex is doing good things nowadays. Here is a monero group that I created in order to test it. Feel free to join in and test simplex:

Will this new video platform you are working on be decentralized?

We need to go back to torrents so bad.. Torrenting had solved the question of sharing video files some time ago.

Bonus points for i2p + torrenting. Qbittorrent v4.6rc has i2p integration baked in.

Don't know about bcash but btc is surely paying that discount amount to the clogged mempool miners' fee!

Try to use localmonero as much as possible. That way, you will be stimulating the local monero sellers in your area. Much better than relying on faceless corpos for your XMR hit.

If that is not possible/expensive/etc. you can always get some LTC on a centralized or decentralized exchange and use the in-wallet exchange services of stackwallet.com or cakewallet.com

LTC has cheaper transactions fees compared to BTC. That makes LTC a better onramp onto XMR.

With hyperinflation, anything's possible..

If the killer app of crypto is degen gambling, then the current centralized exchanges provide that use-case to degen masses quite well.

So what? Case closed. The end? No need to develop monero, seraphis, nor full membership proofs, as they are wholly unnecessary to the degens gambling shit(coins)?

Even though the killer app is gambling degenerately, this is not the whole application of crypto. Remember, Silk Road "made a killing" back in 2012 and it didn't involve degen gambling.

There might be more than one "killer app" for the crypto (and especially for XMR), which are visible (attractive) to the masses during different time and different places. Let's explore them all and hopefully get an ever increasing number of people to our side of the political debate (which is, personal freedom and liberty, sound monetary policy and personal financial privacy).

I noted down this pro-active approach. Sounds useful.

Most of the times, the problem isn't the lack of platform, imo. Of course, I do appreciate a free and open source alternative to meetup.com (and maybe we should set up one), but mainly these platforms remain invisible to the general public.

However, I also believe, somehow the ball should get rolling. Maybe using these alternatives will make them more visible to the general public audience. Who knows?

Good to see these. I am also trying to kick start a regular Monero meetup here in Turkiye.

I see that you guys are organizing without meetup.com ? That's good, because meetup.com 's fees are unreasonably high. You are planning to spread the word via twitter? or some-platform else?

Reminds me of this: https://www.bitchute.com/video/sppcRLqkgbri/

Very enthusiastic video.. Looking forward to future videos about XMR.

is the hard fork happens in a predefined intervals?

No it doesn't. Monero hardforks are more commonly referred as "protocol upgrades," and they are mainly aimed at improving Monero's privacy tech.

In the past, some protocol upgrades were "predefined" in the sense that it would take place every 6 months. This was solely done in order to discourage the development of ASIC mining machines which grant disproportional advantage to the big players against the smaller mining enterprises in Monero's mining network. However, this "predefined protocol changes to the mining algo" became moot after the introduction of RandomX mining algo, which is a CPU-supremacist algorithm for Monero production.

Could you please explain in easy terms what’s Seraphis and what changes it will bring?

Seraphis aims to make Monero's codebase more modular. That way, future improvements to its privacy protocol is hoped to be introduced in a less-disruptive-way to the remainder of the codebase.

One additional protocol improvement that's in the works is "Jamtis," which changes the addressing scheme of Monero, in order to make it more flexible and fix some of its potential bugs. For more information see this presentation by Justin Berman: https://piped.video/watch?v=xGEBRQU1lzw

Lastly, very recently KayabaNerve announced that he had been working on Full Membership Proofs (FMP) for Monero, which finally has the potential to fix the weakest link in Monero's privacy protocol: ring signatures. FMP, does away with the ringsigs and the decoy selection troubles that Monero has had up to today. With FMP, your transactions will reference the entire set of enote that Monero blockchain has, instead of a 16-, or 128-size other decoys.

All in all, quite good improvements are in the works for monero. Among them, I consider the Jamtis the most "disruptive" to the current users, as it will cause existing addresses unable to be used after the protocol upgrade. But fear not: if all goes well, you will be able to generate new Jamtis addresses using your existing wallets, and keep receiving 'neros to your wallet. And, of course, your existing funds will still belong to you and you only, nobody is going to lose any funds.

...or odysee, rumble, etc.

Boomers also have problems with getting their browsers to work; so... at one point they need to lift themselves up by their bootstraps (HA! how do you like that now, boomers?) and put some time to learn a bit about how to use a Monero wallet (like Cake and Monerujo---which, is, as easy to use as it gets.)

I use pocket change feature of monerujo wallet.

Why not integrate Monero in the fediverse? That seems more useful.

Yes. Especially when we already have a project working on it: https://monerochan.news/article/11#heading
