I recall one instance where a user only got their coins after contacting people in the community who then put pressure onto majestic bank. Higher then advertised rates also happened more then once.
fuck off. seriously.
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL HAVENO INSTANCE, because no one involved with making haveno is running a haveno network, and not even endorsing one. This is very impotent to mitigate legal risks, because apparently governments pull reasons out of their asses to prosecute open source devs they don’t like. Your centralized “fund” shows blatantly that you have no fucking clue what you are doing, and you should not be trusted with an important piece of infrastructure.
If you are looking for a real network, check out the first and only instance of haveno: https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto
For tutorials on how to use it, check out nihilism’s excellent guides: https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-client-f2f/index.html
That’s because it is cruel.
Large numbers always seem terrifying, because our human minds are not made for them. The only way to comprehend them is to compare them to other things - in this case all the ways we humans cause damage to the environment directly. Our suburbs are ecological dead zones already. There is just not much space left between asphalt roads, driveways, and neatly trimmed lawn. It’s definitely the cat that goes outside for one hour a day who is the problem. Right next to plastic straws.
The real frustrating thing about all this that the companies that exploit our planet to core keep doing their shit (Noooo you cant work from home for your office job, you MUST commute to the city daily, because reasons!) while we fight with our neighbors about things that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

exactly. haveno can be a cash cow for the arbitrators if they keep it running. The more they scam, especially on high value disputes, the higher the chance traders will just create their own network, killing the cow in the process.
Either monero or cash is fine as payment. You don’t need to support both.
I can not take any privacy service seriously which does not accept monero and/or cash. You exceed expectations by not even including kyc’d payment methods.
Your landing page does not load at all without javascript. For a privacy service this is an immediate red flag. It doesn’t have to be pretty, but I expect to be able to read all text without JS.
I’m not a fan of your “litepaper”. It contains too much marketing (mission statement, ownership, zero knowledge praise) and user guide (website, payment, dashboard, referral). The first block belongs on an about us page, the second on an faq page. As it is right now, it feels a bit like a shitcoin whitepaper. Instead use it to exclusively explain how your tech works, and why I it is better then what your competition does.
Ultimately you could just be another ANOM, and it’s up to you to sufficiently proof you aren’t. Sorry to be this harsh, but your presentation does not give me the confidence to even try your service.

destroy […] assets […] for the public good
The public would greatly benefit if we destroyed assets of lobbyists and their funders! You’re drafting the law for that, right? Right?
The major issue is the low market share of crypto and the higher effort required to get USD. If you want USD, Monero can not fix this. So whenever you can offer your goods and services in XMR natively to lesser the dependence on fiat ever so slightly.
We’re still here, and have never left. Interest in crypto is primarily driven by price, and with the relative poor market performance attention of the masses is diverted. Almost like if it’s planned by those who don’t like xmr.
Improved energy efficiency only results in a higher hashrate with the same amount of energy consumed. Assuming electricity costs dominate the mining expenses, in an efficient system the value of consumed energy should equal the value of mined coins. If it’s significantly less, more miners will join until everything is balanced again.
On the flip side this means it’s very easy to calculate the running cost of a financial system based on XMR: it’s roughly 0.8% of the supply per year, slightly decreasing in the future thanks to the tail emission.
If you use the same metric to determine a cost for the current central banking system, which targets a real inflation of usually 2%, but it’s more like a 4%+ cost of living increase for necessities, meaning using monero is AT LEAST 5 times as efficient. However this is ignoring the fees banks demand at every opportunity, so I’d estimate monero is about 10x as efficient.
You cant remove pocket and telemetry without recompiling. That’s why its not just a config file.
please do not bring over reddit memes. Eventually someone will not understand the irony and keep doing it for real. thanks
Do not use “paste” that already has a low viscosity at room temp, it will get more liquid as it heats up. Good thermal paste doesn’t even cost much, and a syringe last for years of regular service on multiple devices. Repasting is not difficult.
I’d encourage you to copy/paste any or all of this
Your post may resonate with many people in the community, but I certain it won’t with the general population. When recommending anything, it’s best to focus on things the listener cares about, so tailor the message and don’t copy and paste.
What can we do today to increase Monero adoption?
Use it when buying and explicitly say you accept it when selling. It’s literally that simple.
Droidify is the best! Best performance and UI of all compatible clients, and even handles 3rd repos that wont load on others.
Thanks for the heads up, my setup is indeed 6-12 months old. My thoughts on the linked list:
