12 upvotes, only 3 out of the downvotes come from this instance.

they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve 😁

edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store 😉

Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if you’re not mainstream, by definition most people won’t support you, won’t agree with you, won’t understand you.

Some things may be downvoted because they’re too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because you’re a bit too early. Like, if you’d said “being gay is not crime” or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvoted… Just a thought.

Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.

Is this new?

[–] ReversalHatchery 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't this invalidate the banknote?

[–] tusker@monero.town 7 points 5 months ago

I like how you didn't call it "money" 👍

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, but it will get pulled from circulation the next time it gets deposited into a bank.

Banks take damaged or defaced notes and send them to the nearest Federal Reserve bank to be destroyed and replaced.

So in other words, put this stamp on every bill you ever touch. Got it.

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's technically a felony, it's just not worth tracking down the kid drawing a moustache in Jackson.

Besides being needlessly petty, wilfully defacing every bill you can is a good way to get investigated if it's a slow day for federal law enforcement.

Not a felony = print trillions of notes and steal purchasing power of the whole population to fund crimes against humanity.

Felony = Stamp critical information on bank notes that empowers individuals in a peaceful manner.

This is not a sign of evil scumbags running a clownworld at all...

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sadness. Okay, I won't do it then.

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You feeling alright, buddy?

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nope, but thanks for asking, pal.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking to you, or do you not count?

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No. Talk to someone in real life. Someone who knows you and can help you out.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 5 months ago

Ah, gotcha. Will do.

[–] Anonymous@monero.town 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you don't want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don't get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

i’d put it along the margin too….

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.

Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.
