Hurricane disaster efforts and monero donations
"Canadian trucker problem" Monero fixes that, right?
If Monero can be a solution then it should prove itself when the time comes, not "in hindsight."
People need basic necessities like water. Can Monero address the problem?
I don't churn monero. It's easier when you just use it how it works.
Just send it to wallet to new wallet to new wallet a few times. Easy peazy and cheap even for people with only pennies.
Stop playing games and use it "by default" like how it's intended and it even defeats the problems most apparent in "breaking monero" series.
How did you not figure this out already?
here's the next stop. trying to give away monero. let's see bow it goes
if you don't down vote me to hell then I will reserve at least one slot for this round for people that post here and on Twitter. Catch an easy 0.1 xmr by posting a listing and your address
take my money
we are getting suppressed on Twitter. it's getting bad very fast. but my monero contest continues. any QR code to a non-custodial wallet and a link to a Monero listing of some sort is a winner
I'm considering running for political office in the US.
There's many political offices. I think lower level is better for influence and effectiveness and less selling out. Less awful.
What I'm here to try to figure out is how much support would I get? I know this isn't a perfect indicator. Everything is with salt.
I promise I won't make things in life worse. I will make things better for monero.
Can someone make this a monerochan meme?
maybe with her just lying on the bed with knees a bit bent and her moving her upper foot up and down casually?
or something else.
All Hands on Deck: Run Monero Nodes
You don't want to be wacked off to only run Monero nodes over VPN or TOR, but it is our fallback.
They couldn't stop torrents. They couldn't stop MP3's.
They won't stop Monero, unless the people bend the knee. You bend the knee when you don't have the cajones to run a Monero node.
Who's ready to risk a little for freedom?
Iteration 2: big update. Freetown NYC
this is the previous post. is this how I use reddit? Okay. Hear me out. That last post was just a spearhead. Something to get something started. It's part of my process. And since then, I've had some conversations with notable people (not you, but now's your chance). Some good pushback. Some challenges fronted. From people who have dreamt and tried. Expectations from this post: This is the new revision and after you'll see a clearer vision of an innovative approach and ways (not yet) to get involved but will be soon available if you stay tuned. A business plan is forthcoming. Funding TBD. I'm well aware by now this is Reddit and the most upvoted comment will the one that best cuts this all to shreds. I welcome it. Fight me and make this all better for it. First will be context and then I'll share the idea. Read at your own pace. Context: It's gotta be NYC. If it's not NYC then where's it gonna be? There's many places that won't matter for the start of this. So that means rent is high; competition is high. Innovation is required. There's already a bitcoin center and we could be a little doily on their skirts until we get too successful, with their cold corporate halls and stockmarket adjacency. We could go to SF! There's no punk rock in SF. London.. don't even get me started. L.A. worships "the industry." It's NYC or it's nowhere. but it needs to be somewhere. but the challenges exist... NYC has lots of costs, rules, and other barriers. But also, we have notable people in Monero from NYC that live in NYC. NYC doesn't have the mark of Monero yet. Also, there's more to monero than its own existence.. it's an idea. So, again, innovation is needed. Location and square footage are extremely expensive in NYC. Chicken might not cut it. Chicken barely makes it where it does.. and that's when your only goal is selling chicken. What succeeds? The single most epic marker of success is adaptability. So let's innovate there. Let's make it not just adaptable, but also capable of revenue in many places. I don't just want a scatter-shot. I want a scatter-shot of excellence in each grain that just lets what succeeds to succeed. You see it.. every operation working a certain way and they bank on it working according to plan.
Idea: I have 6 system requirements for this thus far (and forgive my use of language to my fellow system engineers among you. you'll understand, no doubt): it needs to improve monero economy in ways that benefit everyone it needs to be financially soluble. Shouldn't need any cash influxes "for da cause". it needs to have a solid emphasis on monero at all times. it must be easily referential it shall be "transportive" when you walk in the door it needs to have a "feel" on the exterior It shall in no way be a surveillance or LEA-friendly place. You're free and relieved here. It will expand based on an example of cypherpunk ethos. The whole thing is nexus for cypherpunk. Location must be accessible and notable The working name: "freetown NYC" "but dMartian you said there were only 6 requirements but I see 9" Yeah cuz I'm extra. Keep up. (this is great fodder to cut me down. use it)
The walls: they're going to all be cypherpunk art. Working theme is the ride "it's a small world after all" with cypherpunk distortion. The kitchens: now this is innovation: you've heard of a food truck. they sit around a lot. But what we're going to do is make a "roll-in kitchen." It's something 2 people can roll out of a food truck and make a kitchen in a brick and mortar store. Then they can roll out and make revenue and make presence for xmr where it's needed. Or not if there's no need. An old food truck payments are much cheaper than rent in NYC. Then what do we do with the rest of the square footage? I'm not going to sit here and sell you on my excellent chicken or probably more excellent curry and tacos. We can find people that do that part no problem. Events: So there's going to be hanging LCD screens from the ceiling, not covering our artwork on the walls done by cypherpunks. During whenever.. it'll be NFTs people can buy. The house gets a cut which incentivizes putting up the ones that sell. Which gives that a budget. Wanna be cool? Hold your event at Freetown. put your powerpoints on the screens. Duality.. always. Anything doesn't work has so many options. Chairs will be stackable. they work for fika and they work for presentations.
Inspirations: Freetown Christiana, Copenhagen Various ghetto fleemarts Bitcoin center Café Tu Tu Tango, Orlando Many more...
The next steps: I need to refine this down to a business plan. Then we can see who wants to invest. That's a big question bc it defines how we want to go about this. Should I court financiers? Should I do a CCS? For instance, if I go CCS I can't make it free funding for a for-profit business. It's social entrepreneurship.. figuring out how to help a cause without needing charity. So we'd need a way to give back to donors in some commensurate way or maybe something else.
Here's where the 5 year plan comes in: monero has an uncanny way of attracting excellent talent. If you buy something with monero, odds are it's really good stuff. so we can stock limited quantities of what's already available for monero. Accept cash or goldback but give discount on monero. but we have limited quantities (think back to adaptability). What sells well will run out of stock and then we'll have limited quantities only available for monero. Then we figure out what works and what doesn't. Limited quantities, right? And those items will become increasingly out of stock unless you get monero. What does a cash-only place do when someone doesn't have cash? They point you to the ATM they have. We'll point you to where you can get monero. Then you'll be educated on monero. you'll have monero. and you can buy the good shit that we know is the good shit bc it's what sells.
The prologue: I'm not really an arrogant prick. At least, not as much as I am here. People don't think that about me that know me, but I went with the approach here. I hope it was mildly entertaining while also getting the point across :)
very astute of you. A dumb person has a prescribed method. A smart person finds alternative methods.
"rockstar chicken" subterfuge. hacking the normies like the bad guys, but doing it for good.
I'm an engineer. I figured out how to make super cripsy, super juicy, super tasty beer-battered fried chicken tenders. And dialed in the details into making it anywhere as reproducible as a McDonalds burger.
it's not a soft market. there's competition. yet I travel a lot and the best bet for competition in the world you might have is.. well nevermind the point is I realized "wow! this is better!"
and here's where it gets to monero. I want a 5 year plan of growth/expansion while doing similar to megacorps like taco-bell to cashless systems. But we're moving to the digital cash Monero. Prices rise while increasingly giving discounts for monero use. Educating on xmr. Promoting xmr. Making it fun.
We're calling it "Rockstar Chicken" (don't mess with me on the domain; I know :)
Best chicken and best music. fun times for everyone.
This isn't just an announcement about my endeavor. It's to see who else would like to get involved anywhere. It'll be good vibes and good times.
I don't get why services like this would even be popular for CP. You'd think the people sharing it would be settled in to using torrents over tor... not looking for services like this where a IP is exposed and a VPN might rat them out.
For something so morally reprehensible and heavily pursued by LE, I can't fathom it would be so popular as to keep spilling into every crevice of the internet it can find.
The main question for you as a donor is if you're expecting it to be a tax deduction. If so, you might want to let give a heads up.
Donors don't have to report anything, though. So if you don't want to report donations, you don't have to. For you, it doesn't matter whether the donation gets reported by the receiver.
The issue is if the same tax agency sees a donations being charitable donations being claimed that exceed the reported income from donations, because then they know someone reported incorrectly.
"When you want to log in, they now force you to click on a verification link send by email, meaning you are f’ed if you used a single-use email address"
Why is there an issue? Your throwaway emails can on sites like https://tmail.link let you easily generate your emails, and you can access those inboxes any time. Perhaps you can save the email associated to a phone number or something sensible?
it's not a job. It's just someone trying to put a band together with people of the same niche interests. who could be against that??
announcing my departure like an airport, for good reason
-12 for a post just looking for people to collaborate on music. If this isn't the epitome of "killjoys" I don't know what is.
And I'm pissed. @ofxmr put this site together with all the best intents.
You malignant tumors ruined it.
I'm not taking your rights. Everyone has to succeed for anyone to succeed. :)
thanks for your opinion. You seem really sore about something that this post vaguely reminds you of. I hope your world gets better!

For many, such as myself, this is a game changer! Finally... I have a hardware wallet I'm happy to use!
