I bumped into two projects that do not yet use Monero for dono/payments yet.

  1. https://riseup.net/vpn#donate
  2. https://freenet.org/ghostkey/create/

The first one of them is a cool VPN that you can install and use right away inside debian: sudo apt install riseup-vpn -y

The second one is the new freenet project that aims to build distributed and uncensorable network.

Both of these projects SHOULD have been using Monero for donos/payments, ALREADY.

I think it is high time the Monero community shock troops go out there and apply nudging in these projects’ community pages. Example: https://github.com/freenet/freenet-core/discussions/1189#discussioncomment-10382094

    Yeah. For riseup VPN, Mullvad VPN exists. They support XMR and even give you a 10% discount because you used XMR.

    “shock troops” to force projects to use your preferred crypto scam?

    Yeah, great look everyone. Fantastic optics. 🤡

        Don’t worry, people will be begging us to show them how to use Monero in the next few years, including this commie clown.

            I have read up on both, that is why I made the comment.

          Do you not understand allegory? Are you a literalist who cannot grasp nuance in internet banter?

            Did you entirely ignore the rest of my comment about

            Optics

            You can use whatever “banter” or allegory you like. If you want to show yourself in the same light as other groups who use “shock troops”, thats your prerogative.

            Enjoy continuing to wonder why people don’t want to use your crypto.
