Yeah, we’re going to be doing a Simplified Privacy podcast starting soon. A mix of educational segments and interviews. And yeah like you mentioned mentioning Monero, but not solely focused on Monero

thanks for your time Charlie

Appreciate your time

Thanks so much mate, reach out once we got this fully setup if you’re interested in promoting whatever you’re doing through the platform.

You can add google push in a sandbox and get NFC

Hi, thanks for the reply. So with Mastodon, your identity is tied to a server which the admin can censor. If you own the server, then other servers can censor via defederation. This becomes an issue in the case that Monero is banned by governments and physical locations with IP addresses have to comply.

Instead, Nostr separates identity from physical locations through encryption. This allows you to own your identity like you’d self-custody Monero. This video goes over the basics: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/nostrtutorial/

awesome

thank you for support

Session not only is privacy but also free speech! It’s a huge problem that the government controls DNS or domain names that point to IP addresses. You don’t own a domain, they rent it to you.

Our team has developed software for a distribution bot using Session messenger because Session has blockchain based DNS on top of onion routed privacy. This video explains how it works: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/sessionbot/

Great job anonymous poster!

Ah thank you too kind. I was not expecting such generosity. This goes to the video animators:

Did you get Pay with Moon to work for bitcoin WITHOUT linking it to Coinbase account?

right on, maybe we can get a list going

thanks good idea. the r/privacy one is ruthless with take-downs, if you know the moderator let me know

thanks for your service

I am fairly new to this community, so I have no official say. But has Core considered distributing Monero binaries via Nostr, IPFS, Arweave, akash, Session, or other decentralized means? This would allow for more decentralization of staff and censorship resistance than a credit card government domain. Also could be both. just more options. And then different core members could do the different official channels, which would quickly raise alarm bells if Nostr has a different binary than getmonero.org

To clarify, it was meant to host with the geographic country restrictions you mentioned and NOT inside your home. Also to not put content on the server that is associated with your identity and pay in cryptocurrency. I hope that clarifies your objection

I’m not sure I follow your question. The XMR nostr client is not yet finished, but once it is, I would assume likely any wallet could be used

The issue with WireGuard depends on your situation. So for low risk activities such as watching a Netflix video, it’s fine. It’s faster and convenience. However, people should be aware of the trade-offs associated with this:

There’s logging of IPs built into the identity of the users, such that it stores it in memory after the connection is closed. This is NOT an issue for low risk activity like video games, but IS an issue for Tor users as they change circuits every 10 minutes. Frequently VPN companies outsource their servers to the same third party servers as Tor VPS hosts and as other VPNs. For example, some well known VPNs, Mullvad and IVPN do share some of the same third party providers. And other providers don’t have dedicated servers and use cloud VMs. Keeping your IP in memory from one Tor circuit to another with the same servers providers is a huge risk especially if it involves cloud hosting as it’s shared memory. Depending on the VPS or provider, it could overlap. The video further explains that there is no speed benefit to using WireGuard over OpenVPN with Tor. So you get no bonus for the risk.

There was other stuff covered in the video regarding UDP packets being more obvious to the ISP for a VPN useage, and the potential to put that through a UDP→TCP tunnel with a link to where to find that.

Future videos will have me in a smaller box in the corner, and larger graphics
