0 sats \ 28 replies \ @expatriotic 10 Feb \ on: Is this territory DoA? monero
420 sats is $0.42. Hardly insurmountable.
Having said that, can a territory creator adjust the amount to make a post on the fly?
Also, I received this telegram message from @RevHodl last night, "Immediate disgust on Stacker News Live for your Monero territory. They told everyone to mute it immediately. The additude was very much "get these shitcoiners outta here, go get em DarthCoin" Not sure I even need to comment or editorialize. That speaks for itself.
Yeah well, that doesn't stop people interested in Monero from using the site. Of course the maxis aren't going to engage here. They block Monero bros on nostr, that doesn't stop an active community from existing there. There are plenty of people, bitcoiners included, who aren't going toute because either they like Monero or they're actually interested in talking about it.
It's not insurmountable. But most Monero guys are stacking Monero or on chain BTC. They're not doing the whole lightning thing, unless they're already nostr users, usually. And even then, they're probably just using their zaps to zap others and mostly unwilling to spend their hard earned xmr or BTC to post here unless its low enough that they have the lightning balance to do it already.

that's actually a really good point. Fuck it, posts are zero (edit: had to make it at least one sat) sats now. @rafael_xmr

As long as we don't get banned this is free speech and we need to use it so newbies learn about the cypherpunk cause

Can I lower the cost to post? I had it high both to recoup costs and also sybil resistance to keep out shit posts trashing monero

Go to ~monero/edit or click on 'edit' in the territory banner, here with ~security as an example:

Not yet, was just asking @RevHodl where to find it. I found this out at 2:30 AM

I watched it, the spirit of what @RevHodl communicated to me is upheld I think.
@k00b literally misrepresented the monero fork of Bisq I included in the guide. He said I'm talking about coinjoinin bitcoin??
Bisq already let's you buy bitcoin with monero, as does robosats. But all the fees are paid in bitcoin. And as a fellow bitcoiner, if I new I could use a fork of Bisq that was cheaper to run (because the deposits and mining fees are all denominated in XMR which is cheaper to transact in), I might be interested. I haven't run the fork yet, just letting people know it's out there. The post was literally about Bisq, and this is a fork... It seems relevant...
And @sethforprivacy mentioned in the latest Monero Monthly on Max's Ungovernable Misfits podcast that the current iteration of Bisq makes it trivial for people snooping the blockchain to spot Bisq transactions due to the way the deposits and transactions are crafted, it creates a signature, and IF people use the Bisq token (a kind of colored Bitcoin (never used it) that let's Bisq devs get paid), it's even MORE obvious you did a Bisq transaction. Now me, as a non-KYC bitcoin user and miner, I don't care too much, BUT a monero fork where these fees and deposits are settled in monero would mitigate that privacy issue...
Nuance people?Who's the dude on the left BTW? If guy on the right is @k00b.
I'm actually fine (and glad) if people like @DarthCoin or whomever delete the ~monero territory or me... Like, cool, that's the way SN works...

I have to admit, you are kind of exhausting to interact with since you seem to go from extreme to extreme, while asking for nuances yourself.
Examples:
- you accuse Coinos of rugging in the title of a post (#882458)
- you went from 420 sats to 1 sat
- you said the spirit of what @RevHodl communicated is upheld because k00b said the monero fork of Bisq is coinjoining if I understood your reason for why it's upheld right even though this point has nothing to do with ~monero
- you still think SN or someone might delete ~monero or you
reply
Okay. So a few things.
you accuse Coinos of rugging in the title of a post (#882458)
I don't think Coinos is rugging me. It's just a title. The first line is, "I'm sure there's a reason for the technical difficulties that aren't malicious..." and the point of the post is that I'm moving to Zeuspay...
you went from 420 sats to 1 sat
So? I paid my 50,000 sats... What does it matter to you what I put the cost after that point? SN can make the minimum 50 or 100 sats if you think 1 sat is too low. I'm genuinely surprised to see this in your list. I don't mind taking a hit for a month. It's an experiment to see. @k00b even said this in the Live broadcast.
Again, a misunderstanding. @RevHodl communicated that there was a general sense of disgust, and I agree with that. It had nothing to do with @k00b who as I watched back a second time, was super on point. It's more the guy to the left pushing the "yeah I muted it and him immediately" kind of vibe. @k00b was chill. He seems solid. Other than the weird statement of the coinjoining which we got cleared up. I think he either misinterpreted or misremembered, but it's chill.
you still think SN or someone might delete ~monero or you
Typo... I saw my mistake after the 10 minutes were up. Meant to say, I'm happy to have anyone mute the territory or me if they chose, I have a few territories muted too because I'm not interested in them.
I'm extremely sorry to see you write this but as a sign of good faith, I'll delete the post about coinos. I actually initially wrote a line at the top apologizing for the click baity title...
I've been using RetoSwap since it first appeared on the scene (around May of last year) and it's only gotten better with time. I use it somewhat regularly and have had zero problems and haven't heard anyone who really has for whatever that is worth. They have a SimpleX groupchat on their website too if you want to ask questions or see whats going on.

Thanks actually...
I feel like there have to be other people out there like me whose unit of account is sats, but see utility in monero also... for me monero != the million other pre-mining, self-enriching founder, vaporware projects out there. So I'm surprised to see how many fellow bitcoiners are so quick to lump monero into the pile with every other one of the > million (and growing) shitcoins.BTW, I saw you guys live at Nashville. I was in the crowd with a Zeus shirt on and Sparrow hat. @evankaloudis crushed it as always. I maintain he's the best Pod guest a Pod can get.

Thanks. You join the show @ek? Or just watch.
