VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users… For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

          Alright, so monero is good for coffee, maple syrup, and meat bars (?!). I don’t currently eat a lot of any of those things, so I’m not sure how this will help me with my groceries.

            That was only one vendor, which is what you asked for. There’s a whole directory of different vendors offering different services at monerica.com.

              Looking at the Food & Drink section, it doesn’t look like you can get much more than coffee and meat with monero, so I’m really not sure how you’re supposed to “be your own bank” by using it and still have access to food.

          What about something like groceries, oil changes, metro cards, hospital bills, mortgage payments, rent, gym memberships, cash only business, payroll, or anything else that is actually needed by people.

            Inatacart gift card, visa or mastercard giftcards, mortgage and hospital bills i dont have a way for, visa giftcards, cash only businesses would benifit greatly due to lower theft risk.

                It’s a stopgap measure. Eventually, that won’t be needed. So for now, I guess technically yes.

                There are ways around that but it starts to get complicated. There are companies that will take your paycheck in your name and then automatically convert it and send you crypto, But I have never used them, so I don’t know anything more than that.

                  If my name is written in FULL CAPS is it legally me? Or is that maritime law?

      it’s really sad that all your comments are getting downvotes while advocating for a free and open and private/anonymous payment system. this is why we wont succeed in the long term, our own community fights us on it.
