Or

Hello Monero community, andrea here. I just want to share with you my paper _Privacy as invisibility (by default). Bridging the gap between anarcho-capitalists and cypherpunks_, which discusses, among other things, Monero.

Yesterday, it was published in the _Journal of Libertarian Studies_, founded by Murray Rothbard. I presented an early version of the paper at MoneroKon in Lisbon this year. Enjoy!!

congratulations andrea

your talk still needs to be worked on. will try to get to it when i get some free time

Thank you ajs_ @ajs_:matrix.org:

i hope you are able to come to monerokon 2023. i really enjoyed your talk

hey bros

can you give me any feedback or suggestions on my CCS?

* my CCS proposal?

<LebAnon[m]> "repo.getmonero.org..." <- What is this webapp that you want to make?

Siren: A bartering platform where people can have an eBay for services and goods for XMR

since most hyperinflated countries here need a SUSTAINABLE alternative and not a lot of arabic content for crypto let alone XMR

Im adding educational content on the crisis, how banks screwed everyone over to shed some light and educational material on finance in general

my main reach is to have people USING XMR

no need to understand the tech to use it

Maybe you could contribute to bitejo.com or other marketplaces to add Arabic language?

I can work on translation for sure

want to work on translation XMR docs to arabic and french as well(im natively flluent in both)

but the platform isnt just a marketplace

its spreading awareness

because the crisis in the area isnt talked about much and its devastating

It would be nice to have getmonero.org promotional videos etc. in arabic

plus having 3rd worlders use Monero

is honestly bullish for adoption

Siren[m]: I'll get working on this definitely

Coding up a marketplace requires some effort

Have you made something similar before? Or will you be deploying something premade?

im a dev by profession

its why im asking for such an amount where I can sustain myself here(Lebanon) and work on this full time

ofc not premade

i have the UI milestone

its going to be unique and actually aimed at 3rd worlders since tech knowledge isnt much here let alone crypto(because of FUD etc..)

Interesting because in Turkey even grandmas are staking on Binance

damn

this is bullish

though trusting Binance kek

idk

i wouldnt trust CEXs

turkey is more literate than here as hard as it is to believe

our issue is banking restrictions as well

most of crypto even in turkey afaik is bought peer to peer

like barterting( cash for XMR, USDT whatever)

I paid USDT for haircut before

:D

yes exactly

thought i persinally dont advocate stablecoins

Can we see some of your previous work?

Siren[m]: im not saying you cant im saying we need to advocate for more usecases

are you in turkey?

No but was in summer

Maybe you should change the proposal to focus more on the marketplace

Siren[m]: I can link websites I made

but dont really want to doxx myself rn

Because it's the biggest thing in the proposal

Siren[m]: the focus isnt the marketplace

my end goal is having more education and building a bigger community than just telegram groups

Siren[m]: cost or time wise?

Well if you made a fully functional marketplace, you wouldn't only have it in arabic language would you?

LebAnon[m]: Both

Translating content is one thing, programming a marketplace is another

Siren[m]: ofc not

but i want to focus on the arab world first

Siren[m]: i have friends who can work on me with the translation

and im native in english arabic and french so its not an issue

Siren[m]: im creating content to maintain it

spread financial education on how xmr is a sustainable fiat alternative

> <@4chanbro:matrix.org> I can link websites I made

> but dont really want to doxx myself rn

What did you use to make them? (Backend/frontend)

MERN

and i worked on web3(solidity mainly)

I could add another month and some funds if need be

but a month or so would have a basic platform up to speed then I could just add a donation address to sustain int

s/int/it/

Sounds good but I think people will want to see a demo

you mean post a UI/UX?

when I get approved sure

i'll post a figma if thats what you mean right?

I don't know, there's a community meeting tomorrow

This can happen when someone can't show previous work for reasons

what can happen?

im confused :p

People can ask for a demo

And not only frontend

oh

I'll link work then sure

<Siren[m]> "Interesting because in Turkey..." <- Average turkish shenanigans

I'm back yall

<alpharabius[m]> "Average turkish shenanigans" <- after the lira crash there were CEX ads on TV

it's fascinating to go somewhere and see middle aged people day trade together and watch price prediction videos

I never thought I'd see something like this ever it's so surreal

<alpharabius[m]> "I'm back yall" <- Not a good look

LebAnon: several "marketplace" projects have been produced but I think none have reached critical mass. Personally, I think your effort would be better spent on improving/translating what already exists. One very high quality project is looking for help:

Is sethforprivacy on here? His website seems to be down and I wanna give him a ping to make sure he knows. sethforprivacy.com.

BusyBoredom[m]: I think he is moving host

Ah alright, cool.
