I post and reply from both for now.

Ask how many civilians Obama killed without congressional approval under the War Powers Act.
Google the IRS targeting conservatives under Lois Lerner and sanctioned by the Administration.
You said a Trump presidency. Do you honestly believe that no other person is capable of being an authoritarian? Guess you don’t remember Obama.
So that data then goes nowhere? I don’t believe that.
You’re right, there is no argument. You merely stated that crypto wasn’t private and I showed where that statement doesn’t have to be accurate.
No more complex than opening a bank account, and finding a way to get cash to put in it, whether that’s getting a job, prostitution, selling things, etc.
It sounds complex, but so is becoming a millionaire.
Means both parties have to agree to be recorded (usually at the onset of a call).
“Be advised, this call is recorded for quality assurance purposes” at which point you could hang up. The 4th Amendment still applies in America, regardless of what local cops and prosecutors believe. You have a right to privacy in two-party conversations.
Does not matter who is president of the US.
Start at www.getmonero.org
Let’s talk about wiretapping laws and states where two-party consent is required to record a call.
Where I live, I must notify the other party that I am recording. If not, it’s illegal. Also, any audio recorded without consent is not admissible in court.
Bitcoin isn’t private. Monero should be what you use for anonymous/private payments.
“…locally on device without connecting to the internet”
How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?
If it notifies the end user, what good does that do? My phone is at my ear, I don’t stop a conversation when another app sends a notification while I’m on a call.
This will 100% report things in the background to Google.
Where’s the “Just use FF” Bros on this one?
No, depending on how fast the developers can get done with the decentralized exchanges / swaps so that they work perfectly and are somewhat easy to use. They’ll most likely want these to be hidden services to prevent also being shut down (I am only assuming that’s what happened to L.M.)
Kraken is a CEX, “centralized exchange”… If they still support XMR, eventually they won’t, like all other US exchanges.
It may impact your ability to acquire Monero.
They facilitated trades of XMR for fiat.
I use MV and rarely see a captcha.
Next step in the CBDC implementation… Deny your cash withdrawals. You will use OUR card and like it!
The money was never yours.
I set my OpenAlias up on my own by following instructions online, and it cost me nothing. Why would one pay you, an unknown centralized entity, for something that can be done in 15 minutes for free?
I think every node needs the same dataset for the blockchain to be valid.
Maybe a rolling dataset, with the earliest transactions falling off after their data is somehow archived (but accessible to the current nodes)?
OR
The current nodes could do a hardfork (NewNodes), with the ability to reference the legacy chain snapshot for the next X years.
Wallet1 created in 2015. Contains 1 XMR. Hardfork in 2025 to truncate the entire DB which becomes a balance reference copy. After the snapshot, they would have a balance on the “new” chain. In order to transact, they’d have to use a New Node which knows their previous balance from the legacy chain.
Is that possible?
I’d be interested in hearing from the downvoters, as to why?
Are you implying that a single, unified conglomerate source of info is bad, or are you the scammers who try to PM users into giving up their seed phrases and this would spoil your game?
