    check out my latest article on BRICS Pay and their proposed crytpocurrency: ‘the unit’

    https://blakelovewell.com/brics-coin-the-unit-vs-the-dollar/

    russia is full tilt heading towards a cbdc system,

    but building a parallel financial infrastructure, along with the rest of BRICS, outside of USA/Western control


    regarding Haveno - it’s early days. localmonero was big here in the UK but got scared off with the latest tranche of anti-crypto legislation

    haveno isn’t big at all, usually I see <10 nodes running at any one time. But if it’s the only option then it will catch on. necessity is the mother of invention!















  • hi antidarknet

    cool site and nice job stresstesting XMR. look forward to seeing more of your projects in the future!

    Makes me wonder about other vulnerabilities there could be - particularly regarding dark markets, xmr escrow services etc.

    regarding your point

    Unless you’re criminal you shouldn’t be worried in any way.

    A criminal is someone defined by the state as having broken a law. Likewise a legal action is one which happens to coincide with a state’s edict (law). but libertarian maximalists or anarchists wouldn’t agree. hence why you were called a bootlicker.

    whilst it’s perfectly righteous to fight what you see as harmful, there’s an argument for freedom, particularly in the case of drugs where it is usually the user who is the only one at risk of harm (if we follow the harm principle rather than legal/illegal). yes the drug trade can harm too - but that could also be because it is ‘illegal’ and has to take place in a non-ideal marketplace.

    that being said, I have my own limits as to what is moral so I agree that you should pursue yours. but I will do things that are illegal, and I encourage you to do so too. perhaps one day using monero will be ‘illegal’! </end philosophical sidebar>
