About every single action a human can make: If you ask enough of lawyers and politicians, you will find at least one that tell you that it's illegal.
rt.com is blocked in some countries, because it's notorious for injecting Russian propaganda into articles. Usually the articles are carefully selected to make the US look bad and to instill fear in some way. It's always 2 articles good, 1 article propaganda.
Also pay attention to the words they use - they are really good at this actually - the words always manipulate your feelings about the topic and make you hate the west, the US, the democracy, etc. Between the lines it also implies - oh look at how Russia doesn't have this problem and thus is amazing.
As soon as they have access to your phone the encryption doesn't help. At that point they can do whatever, inject the app with custom logger, run extraction when user opens the app, etc.
He should talk to folks from BitcoinJungle like Lee and Tico.
They onboarded many businesses in the area and they support them with the BitcoinJungle wallet, which is imo better than Coinos in this case (it has POS, it allows holding value in CRC, it has SINPE integration via Bull Bitcoin...). It also gives you lightning address and all the other usual stuff...
Check out Uvita, you can live here just on Bitcoin. E.g. everyone on the farmers market accepts, many of the restaurants, many of people doing services.
Let me know on nostr if you need a contact and I can get you in touch.
Apparently they are "exploring solutions to support multiple sequencers":
https://docs.citrea.xyz/future-research/decentralized-sequencer-network .
Imo on high level if you want to decentralize you either
- need to make the transactions fully anonymous from the perspective of the single sequencer (so that the sequencer has no idea what it's sequencing) and make it easy to switch another sequencer
- OR you need a network of sequencers that compete anonymously for fees, so essentially you need bitcoin mining with Nakamoto consensus.
Nice to see Silent Payments support! As far as I know that's a really good privacy solution that requires blockchain scanning on the receiver side, which is ok in some cases. Are there any known issues/problems with Silent Payments?
A good question for citrea guys and @lightcoin ;)
I find Logitech MX Master 3S to be perfect. I bought like 5 of them at this point for myself and my family.
Yeah, this is tricky because to decide I'd have to read all of them.
I only read The three body problem and that one was great - what happens when extinctionalist communism meets even worse extinctionalist communism :)
@DarthCoin mentioned below that the payment is proxied by SN. I don't know the technical details, but that's a good question.
It's possible that I said it incorrectly in my description.
