  • 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).












  • My IP address is visible to whom? And visible as doing what?

    Afaik, with p2pool, one also runs a local p2pool blockchain. And his miner connects to his own p2pool node.

    I guess the other p2pool nodes can see you IP (assuming not hidden behind vpn) and I guess your ISP can see you are making connectioms to p2pool-specific ports on the network. But that much alone is hardly incriminating (yet).
