The confiscation argument has been around since early Bitcoin days. Its a problem with PoW too (think of FED seizing a warehouse of ASICs), but PoS makes it 1000000x easier for them

Seth For Privacy: just fyi, i added a feature request to run Monero in pruned mode in BTCPayServer: btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker #557

* Or they could just use their budget/money printer to get control of the network?

<surgeon_[m]> "Or they could just their budget..." <- Watch the bullrun was just the central banks buying up a bulk of the crypto assets 😂 we just outplayed ourselves

<atomfried[m]> "a random thought about PoS for..." <- afaik the big DNM's don't accept ZEC though

<komikono[m]> "afaik the big DNM's don't accept..." <- they dont, everyone is hip to ZEC being a honeypot lol. its not a very well kept secret.

If anything, I am sure after they switch to PoS they will claim they are not a "privacy coin" anymore to try to appeal to regulators and boomer investors like Dash

Perhaps have some type of safe deposit box feature that offers a privacy feature, but on the PoS transactional level it would be all transparent

s/feature//

<Rucknium[m]> "msvb-nop: I guess you could try..." <- Hi there, been busy and missed what's been happening.

Can someone bring me up to speed?

<MrSenshi[m]> "Can someone bring me up to speed..." <- msvb is a Monero hardware enthusiast so it might be worth you getting in touch. That's it really. How goes your hardware wallet project?

Snowed in, progress being made slowly but surely

It will accelerate in the near future.

Good work crypto_grampy on the Btcpay feature request.

<entry1[m]> "Watch the bullrun was just the..." <- 😁 well PoS coins maybe. But luckily we can check the blockchain to see where its coming from😜

<crypto_grampy[m]> "Seth For Privacy: just fyi, i..." <- Thanks!

I just released a rust crate to simplify the process of accepting monero using subaddresses: github.com/busyboredom/acceptxmr

There are still some features I'd like to add to it (like ZMQ support), but it's usable as is.

Added to monerodevs .org 👍️

Thanks plowsof :)

I created a bounty for BCH<>XMR atomic swaps:

Current bounty: 1.01 XMR

Is it even possible? I heard atomic swaps with BCH weren't possible because they didn't fix some bug (transaction malleability or smth like that)

It used to be an issue, but bch has schnorr now which I think removes that issue

BCH has had Schnorr signatures for 2.5 years.

See the linked post where Kayaba states that it appears to be possible:
