Why does AWS care if I mine crypto? (monero.town)
 

The ToS says you cannot mine without their prior written approval.

My question is, why not? If mining is:

  • not on their free tier
  • being paid at a premium by you

Why would they care? They're still making money aren't they?

Mining XMR with my own computers at home is basically trading my electricity company fiat for XMR. Mining on AWS is trading fiat to AWS for XMR in that same manner.

Yes, you'd be mining at a loss, but if I expect XMR to go to $100,000 someday, it is worth it to me, isn't it?

Even though I don't love what you're doing with your XMR, I do love that you can without anyone's permission! That's what XMR is made for, permission-less, peer-to-peer digital cash.

CC payment processors are dropping Civitai. The response: introducing "crypto payments" (civitai.com)

  • They're dropping Civitai because of the salacious material being sold on the site
  • Perfect XMR use case?
  • Will we see a sudden spike in demand for XMR?
  • Anyone know how much money Civitai is taking in from users (not capital investors)?
  • Every day we're seeing more and more need for unstoppable, uncensorable, sound money!

Stop thinking in fiat - user script that converts USD to XMR! (monero.town)
 

I was inspired by this post to try to think in XMR instead of United States Dollar or any other fiat currency.

This user script will detect anything that looks like $XX.XX from web pages, and send it to the coinmarketcap api to lookup the current XMR price.

Privacy beware

You are sending any dollar value that appears in your browser to Coin Market Cap including values that might appear in your banking websites. If you don't want Coin Market Cap to know how much you have in the bank, then edit the script to only work on white listed websites or blacklist certain websites.

Be careful with using user scripts, do not trust me or anyone else that tells you to paste some code in a user script on your browser. Please read the source code, it isn't that long.

How to install

  1. Install a user script extension such as Violent Monkey
  2. Click the Violent Monkey button
  3. New Script
  4. Paste the code from the gist
  5. Get a coinmarketcap api and paste it on the appropriate line
  6. Save and close

Dollar values will now appear as XMR values!

MoneroSpace satellite network (monero.observer)
 

Can this really be done? I had always thought that the inability to transact quickly offline would severely hinder usability and thus adoption, but if Monero transactions were as easy as using GPS, then the future looks bright.

You wouldn't really be transacting offline, just that you'd always be online.

Very cool, exciting to see.

Yes, reminds me of back when I was inside my mother's womb.

The newspaper articles, which were translated from Italian, claimed the Pope had said there is “frociaggine” – which translates in English to “faggotry” – in some of the seminaries.

Open Source Collective Is Disabling Contributions in Cryptocurrencies (opencollective.com)
 

Old news that I just happened upon. Open Collective manages donations for many open source projects. Their reasons for discontinuing crypto supports are all problems that XMR fixes.

So frustrating when people throw the baby out with the bath water here. Imagine Henry Ford with his Model-T.

You have to inflate the tires? You have to keep filling it with gas all the time? Only 10MPH? Yeah no thanks, we're banning your "auto mobile" project, this would never work.

This isn't even a good metaphor considering XMR already exists as a solution.
