Most have WHOIS privacy. Anybody looking up the domain can see that it's registered to whichever company you choose but cannot get your direct information from it. Obviously, if you're under any kind of investigation or something, then the government will just subpoena the domain registrar and ask for your personal information.

Porkbun because they accept crypto. At least to me that is a very important factor

Personally, I think if it's a video related to technology, it belongs in the technology community more so than the video community.
I love that she said the community is "deeply committed to the principles of privacy and security" at 4 min 30 seconds.

disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. And that will help a lot. And if you still need apps from the Google Store, you can use the Aurora Store from f-droid
Edit: you may also want to look into controld.com since their free dns blocks known malware, ads, and trackers. They have several options including standard DNS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over TLS, and Android supports DNS over TLS. So you can use it directly.

It would be somewhat helpful if you posted the link as well. LOL.

Interesting information, although I'm not the one best suited to process it, I would recommend you posting this to something like the skepticism Sunday threads on !monero@monero.town. If it truly has been broken, they are managing to keep it very quiet. And if it has been broken, then there's a good chance that the vast majority of encryption has also been broken, such as HTTPS.

Add cake wallet nodes, sethforprivacy, monerujo clearnet (as it already appears to have monerujo i2p/onion). Using nodes directly from Monero fail probably is not a great idea because we already know that blockchain surveillance companies are running nodes that they leave RPC open for hapless wallets to connect to as demonstrated by the recently leaked video.

Then why aren't they catching more "criminals"? Also, why hasn't the $600,000 US dollar bounty from the IRS been claimed?

Just makes me want to fight back by helping other people to use Monero, Tor, and other privacy services.

As annoying as it is not being able to really exit to a main internet from I2P, I think they have the right idea by not allowing exits. Though it does most definitely have an impact on how many people are able to use it.

Okay, I knew about home assistant, but was not aware that it was a voice assistant, like Siri or the Google assistant. I just figured it was an app-based thing to control devices (similar to the google home app).
shortwavesurfer 5 days ago • 94%
You can't. The only way to use these assistants is not to use them. "More private" does NOT equal "private". Either do not use them at all or be conscious of the fact that you will not be private while using it.
Edit: mycroft maybe the only exception to that and that's only because it's open source and according to what most people think of as a digital assistant would not be ready.

If you need any help with self-custodial Monero, let me know because I'd be more than happy to help.
shortwavesurfer 6 days ago • 100%
Sounds like you are using a custodial wallet. And things like that happen all the time with custodial wallets. Count this as a lesson learned. Not your keys, not your crypto. Also, do keep in mind that blockchains such as that are completely transparent, so any money you send or receive over it can be looked at any time in the future. If that does not sound appealing to you, I would take a look at Monero and cake wallet.

Offer a product/service on XMRBazaar, join the Get Your First XMR matrix room and then once you have at least 0.11XMR you can use Haveno

Interesting. I've been on their network since about 2016 when Band 12 was still being deployed and I have seen major improvement since then. As far as network coverage goes.

Some do, but I'm not aware of many of them, especially not on the home side. Some of the more business-style routers I know do, and some home routers do. But to my knowledge, most home routers do not.

Yeah, monero would have been a much better choice.
shortwavesurfer 1 week ago • 100%
Oh that's cool.
shortwavesurfer 1 week ago • 100%
Oh, one other thing you may consider doing. Put your network on five gigahertz only and disable 2.4 gigahertz entirely because 2.4 gigahertz goes farther so somebody could try to hack your network from a physical longer distance away. Whereas on five gigahertz they would have to be physically closer to do so.

I am very much looking forward to their talk at MoneroTopia. I think they're talk about people who actually use crypto as money will be a very interesting one.

Have you changed the donation address to yourself since you are the one working on it? Or if not, have you decided where donations will go? Or if you will turn them off entirely?
shortwavesurfer 1 week ago • 100%
Well, I can't help you much with what router to get, but one thing I do is use ControlD.com free DNS. They have several levels of blocking you can do for free. You can do no blocking at all, you can block known malware, you can block known malware, and advertising, or you can block known malware, advertising, and big social media. Since this is on the router DNS setting, it will apply to every device as long as it is on your network. And then you can also set it up on your Android or iPhone so that when you are on mobile data, it also keeps the same level of blocking.

In the government-controlled fiat system, you are right. In Monero, you are wrong.

Well, that won't matter unless it's a brand new phone or has been properly erased because you won't be able to install lineage anyway unless one of those two conditions are met.
shortwavesurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
Okay, according to the article, this functionality will only activate after you have signed into a Google account for the first time on the device. So, at least for those of us who use custom software such as lineage OS, that won't matter since we don't put a Google account on the device to begin with in a lot of cases. A lot of us boot the phone for the first time, skip the entire setup wizard as fast as possible without signing in or any of that stuff, and then immediately enable OEM unlocking and flash the lineage or whatever software.

More and more merchants are beginning to accept it directly and you can check out the Monerica directory, XMRBazaar or Monero Market to find them. If you cannot find what you need directly for monero then you can get thousands of merchant gift cards from Coinsbee, Coin Cards, or Cake Pay.
Also, a bounty for maintenance and further development. https://bounties.monero.social/posts/151/mysu-maintenance-and-further-development
With it not bring on IzzyOnDroid where can i get it that isnt the google shit store but still safe? Do they have a github or something? Edit: legit? https://github.com/ProtonMail
Before, I never heard his videos say the word Monero, and now I'm hearing it in a lot of his videos. Something seems to have changed.
Starlink is obviously the partner that T-Mobile uses, so this would be a major issue.
Add nostr support to read/write to relays in wallets such as Cake, Feather, Monerujo, GUI, etc Signup: 1. Wallet generates nostr npub and nsec (and stresses hard to the user to keep it safe since it is the most valuable piece of information they will ever own) 2. Wallet generates a polyseed 3. Wallet encrypts seed and publishes it to say 10 nostr relays Login: 1. User enters nsec or uses an auth app such as Amber 2. Wallet reads all notes to get the encrypted seed 3. Once found the wallet discards all notes that are not encrypted seeds 4. If only one encrypted seed is found, it is used. Otherwise, a list is shown to the user and they can choose which one to use. 5. Syncs wallet and use as we do today # I see three existential cons with this. 1. Loss or theft (possibly by physical force) 2. The encryption algorithm turns out to be flawed. 3. Quantum computers break encryption. This also would have privacy implications since if other applications start using it that could basically turn your npub into a public digital ID (ala worldcoin/social credit score). Sure, each application may use encrypted data, but somebody would still know that you use a ride-sharing application, or a Monero wallet, etc. And what times you use them at (at least for interactive apps such as rideshare/websites).
Another one mentioning Monero: https://odysee.com/@Crypto-Tips:b/can-bitcoin-repeat-574-returns-this:4
This one brings a ton of excellent updates. Take a look at the change log. https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases
While not directly T-Mobile related. This is probably good to know information.
I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That's a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.
I have mentioned before that the main problem I saw with Monero is the price fluctuations of items and that it could be fixed by simply choosing a number and sticking to it. Well, I decided since nobody else was doing it I would. Items at my store will only be up for a potential price change on April 1st, August 1st and December 1st of each year. This allows the possibility of actually beginning to make a budget in Monero that won't be invalid in the next 5 minutes. I want to be a general store selling baking pans, small appliances (coffee pots, toasters, blenders and the like), and some common household tools (hammers, tape measures, etc). I am open to suggestions from the community as to products they want and need to get closer to living daily life on Monero. https://xmrbazaar.com/user/shortwavesurfer2009/ Edit: the August 1st price change will be 0 and will be reviewed again on December 1st.
Thanks to the DOS attackers 1.0.9 comes with many connection reliability improvements. https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases/tag/v1.0.9 This is a mandatory update.
