It’s all right for me now. I found out why I couldn’t log in after changing my password. But maybe I’m not the only one? Shouldn’t there be an indication of the minimum and maximum length?

• Community Advertising Update HERE on Reddit (SP-Proxy)

Help Me Promote Monero

I’m currently running a Meta advertising campaign that encourages people to resist surveillance.

I created this campaign as a means to jump on people’s growing concern of surveillance technology and introduce them to Monero and privacy tech in general.

The first mission of the Resist Surveillance emails series is about Monero which links to this set-up guide.

I’m inviting you to consider supporting by contributing to the Meta campaign ad spend via Kuno.

What Qualifies Me To Do This?

I’m a professional digital marketer and currently work with some of the largest gaming IPs in the world (Star Trek, Fallout, Skyrim, Dune, Avatar, etc.).

I’ve helped hundreds of large and small businesses make millions through Meta ads.

Signal even ran a Meta ad campaign that was very successful, so successful Meta banned them and updated their TOS.

I know how to work around Meta’s TOS and anti-crypto stance to reach new demographics and share Monero with them.

But Meta Is Evil

I’m no fan of Meta however it is a VERY powerful tool for reaching new audiences.

The fact of the matter is Meta has a monopoly on digital advertising because they are the best at it.

Secondly, it’s the very people on Facebook that have the greatest need for privacy tech.

These are untapped waters and could really excel Monero adoption.

Why Don’t You Pay For This Yourself?

I am, I want to open this up to the community should others want to support this work.

Not everyone has the time or energy to introduce others to Monero so paying for some ads is a great way to reach folks if you don’t want to lift a finger.

A collective ad spend will allow me to be far more aggressive in reaching new people than if I was left to my own resources.

How Much Should I Give?

Give as much as you like I’ll make sure that 100% of your support is added to the campaign’s budget.

I’m pocketing nothing.

~0.03 XMR (~$5 USD) is the minimum needed to see any meaningful results.

Can I Request A Specific Country Or Area To Target?

Yes! If you plan to also hand out some of the cards I can make sure that the region you are doing so is also being targeted by these ads.

How Will I Know If This Works?

Everyone who supports will be added to a SimpleX group where I will give a monthly update on the campaign’s progress.

You can continue to give to this ad hoc if you wish.

You can also see my 20+ reviews on XMR Bazaar so you know I’m not some scammer 😆

If you have any specific questions I’d be happy to answer!

The resistance will be encrypted.

so applying a centralized ban list is not necessary?

A centralized ban list is not necessary! If reading isn’t your thing, then print out what I’ve written and have someone around you read it to you. Or you can put the printout under your pillow at night and maybe it will sink in.

Are more universal fixes possible so that a specific ban list doesn’t have to be used?

MRL will analyze the possible benefit of implementing an algorithm that chooses node peers to maximize diversity of Autonomous System Networks (ASNs), which are groups of IP addresses managed by the same entity. This algorithm could reduce the probability of connecting to too many potential spy nodes.

In the long term, there may be ways for nodes to verify that their peers are truly running a node instead of just proxying one node through many IP addresses.

Why not block these IP addresses by default in the Monero node software?

Blocking the IP addresses by default is technically possible, but it would set a precedent of blocking IP addresses by a decision making process that is semi-centralized. MRL has decided to ask node operators to block these IP addresses voluntarily instead of by default.

minimalists AND maximalists 😁

Can you explain where my understanding falls short?

Yes.

Needing to use a ban list

You do not need to activate a banlist.

I’ll go into this in more detail, as you would obviously actually want to understand it. Switch on a blocklist or do not switch on a blocklist, this is up to you and every other user. You can create your own banlist or use another one, there are several. Maybe you hire some professional network researchers to connect to all kinds of nodes to analyze their behavior and their responses to connections and then share your findings with us. In the meantime, you can trust what MRL has found and recommends. Or you can just keep using the current default setting without a ban list. Do you think it’s news that there are misadjusted or allegedly misbehaving nodes out there in the worldwide permissionless network?

it is a very simple wallet for minimalists

🙂 💪

This is the miracle that Proof of Work realizes: Even if all miners were to be shut down today, someone could come tomorrow and continue mining at the last place on the blockchain. But it is impossible due to the many different providers, legal areas and power supplies of the Monero miners. Example: Even if the power goes out, there are solar miners.

Congratulations on this personal progress, Floppy.

Yes, if everyone you know who is open to future technology has a Monero in their own wallet on their own device and uses it to pay for goods and services that accept Monero.

This is when technology is not just here in theory but is actually changing the world. Eating real cheese from Italy.

Take a look at PiNodeXMR, which can even use a 1GB RAM RaspberryPi.

there is no competition.

In the previous Bitcoin lightning, payment channels had to be set up, managed and maintained, which was usually only accomplished by technically skilled individuals or companies. Often centralized and custodial. The system described here uses smart contracts, HTLCs, which can manage the Lightning system for everyone via intuitive user interfaces.

the latter is the case

If possible, avoid third-party providers like this one and only use the original wallet.

It is important to almost everyone, you just shouldn’t have to actively take care of it. This has also been a principle of Monero from the very beginning: Everyone who uses it enjoys privacy without having to enforce it manually.
