that is the big dumb. there are a lot of better options for networks when interacting with USDT like ethereum rollups, polygon, solana, even the liquid sidechain is nice and cheap to send USDT. it is very easy to get any kind of money on these networks and change it to USDT. a lot of liquidity can be accessed this way. but if I’m stuck with just ethereum mainnet and tron, it’s more expensive for me to get USDT and send it over.

does it really matter if I send USDT on ethereum L1 or tron? can’t I just get written approval from my counterparty to use any other network for USDT? they can all be verified by an arbitrator if the need arises. it shouldn’t matter.

there may be support for L2 networks soonish. the best you can hope for is a L2 copypaste of some other smart contract network at some point in the far future if anyone even cares enough.

reminds me of when bitcoin people used to say “nobody ever got prosecuted via blockchain analysis” and they wouldn’t stop saying that until it happened. they sometimes learn through experience but that’s about it.

I am actually going to end up using bisq2 to buy bitcoin via a reputation-based interaction, turn it into some monero on probably bisq1, and then use the monero to start interacting with haveno. it’s way too many steps and fees but it saves me from ever doing any KYC.

a reputation-based trade should still happen inside the DEX. that way the trade can contribute to the seller’s reputation score. bypassing it with a simplex contact would not let the DEX see that a trade actually happened.

have you tried doing it on whonix

when we try to build our own financial system this makes certain kinds of ordinary people really mad for a lot of dumb reasons. they haven’t been told that they are allowed to think it’s cool yet

terra required too much manual intervention and also aimed to maintain a USD peg. RAI and pureDAI aren’t supposed to be like that. so I wouldn’t be so pessimistic. I think there is still a way to do it.

when are you going to set up a website on tor or i2p so I can download the binaries from there

can you write a cash in mail tutorial

is it normal for it to never stop having the yellow indicator

please consider making this available on tor/i2p in addition to clearnet github

I’ve been on the microblogging part of the fediverse for a while. what I’ve seen is, at some point someone’s going to have to rip the bandaid off and instances like lemmy.ml need to defederate from instances like monero.town. they can’t coexist with anyone who doesn’t think the way they do. at some point soon, they won’t be able to talk to you and you won’t be able to talk to them. it’s meant to be.

try to get listed on kycnot.me

a huge chunk of any userbase will never care about opsec until bad things start happening all the time

I don’t like pinko terms like surveillance capitalism. it implies that mass surveillance is somehow worse when it’s private firms doing it, and that the solution is to do away with private firms. as if socialism ever saved anyone from mass surveillance. this is complete nonsense.

it’s been done with bitcoin. I’m talking about renbtc. something for monero will come eventually.

I have a peertube instance. I can’t get anyone to really care outside of the fediverse. I think peertube has a big chance to come out on top if so many new people are trying out the fediverse for the first time. getting everything to integrate properly would be a godsend.

I don’t have enough money to directly stake, so I purchased a bunch of wstETH for a while and switched to accumulating rETH. I keep them on Arbitrum and Optimism. I even used the deposit pool on mainnet once.
