Why are posts that expressing support and wish towards Monero's proliferating adoption getting some downvote-bombings in here? Examples:

or this one:

Just started the skepticism thread, and there is an instant -1 downvote on that.

wtf is this? Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitfags? Is it the overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers that can't stand the words like "shock-troops" or "the final solution"? What the hell.

 

Stay on topic:

  • This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
  • NOT the positive aspects of it.
  • Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.
  • Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
  • Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.

How it works:

  • Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.
  • If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them – reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.
  • Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
  • The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.

It has lots of useful listings, and then it also has this one: https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/P2qu/

😂Rofl, make monero fun to use again!

Their cop-out is saying, "TailsOS only includes packages from debian repos." So, I am guessing, before feather gets into TailsOS, it would need to be in debian stable. Can we get a debian maintainer for Feather?

Is there something we can do about getting Feather Wallet by default into TailsOS?

[–] k4r4b3y@monero.town 2 points 2 months ago

Feather's the best desktop wallet.

 

We're excited to share that a pull request has been made for the Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) integration into Monero!

The pull request is a work-in-progress and will be improved upon and reviewed to ensure soundness of the implementation.

The entire reason for these being manageable without sudo permission, as a regular unprivileged user is that they don't modify the system, but only the installation in your home directory.

Yes, and therefore AppImages are great for use in TailsOS and Qubes-Whonix.

Bounty increased to 2 XMR.

 

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

Do you follow the -dev and no-wallet-left-behind irc/matrix room discussions? Kayabanerve posts some good updates on the work being done. Last time I checked was that they were getting math proofs for the FCMP.

[–] k4r4b3y@monero.town 2 points 2 months ago

specify the network to connect to from the official build

That would very useful.

people have success

Which people? Probably technically-minded, and over-determined people, yes. But do we want only such people have access to Haveno? Absolutely not. People who are only able to burn TailsOS onto a USB should also be able to hop-onto using Haveno and contribute to Monero"s distributed liquidity.

you literally can

No I literally cannot! (maybe). AppImage model of running a program is exactly the same as running an exe file. Download, allow executable, and run. Most newcomers easily get disheartened when they read that they need to unzip a deb file or something.

I show you how to isolate your feather wallet in an offline qube. Then, use your own monero node that runs in another qube via TCP port forwarding between the local qubes in QubesOS.
