Image reminds me of sailor moon

EliteWallet: youre looking pretty slimy MajesticBank @MajesticBank:libera.chat:

And here I was, standing up for you re Monerokon blackballing

And here you are, asking me to call you out for straight up theft from the community

And whats worse? Its code

Smh. Do better

Fake upvotes and everything.

A bunch of false info in the post.

Cringe is the word

Morpheus: please remove majestic from trocador

Parading around in cosplay, pretending to be EliteWallet: while EliteWallet: steals code from the community

While not 1:1, I dont think the business practices shown here today align with anything other than bad business

(To be fair, it all seems unintentional but still totally messed up way of going about things.... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…dd93db3829b0cd19c96ccc688263351cc9d>)

> EliteLabs noticed how current approach of wallets are profits first, so we decided to create a wallet with privacy first design.... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…f715af36d423152b793547040b369838ba2>)

K rant over. Tldr, dont use elite wallet. Calls home to coingecko, and has a feature that sends all of your tx data to him and calls that 99% guaranteed sometimes always privacy

Also stole 99% of the codebase, couldnt even upload good screenshots, and DIDNT CREDIT A MFKN SOUL

Let me know if I forgot anything that was there before. We refreshed the merchant list today: twitter.com/cakewallet/status/1613739484058722307

Tldr rant?

Majestic copy pasted cake (didnt copy the commit history) and released it as elite wallet, dangerously advertises a proxy run by him as being safe for all threat models

:/

Sounds like nord vpn protects against everything

is there an official mastodon account ?

<sgp[m]> "Let me know if I forgot anything..." <- "You must log in to **see** our full catalog of worldwide gift cards.”

I don't have to log in to amazon to see what they have on offer, why do I have to do so here?

cause amazon already knows what you want ;)

> I don't have to log in to amazon to see what they have on offer, why do I have to do so here?

they stated it before, braindead requirements made by their partners that cant be circumvented

just use a temp mail if you just want to check it out

I understand that for buying a card, but not for viewing. Just wanted to see the new merchants sgp advertised smh

temp mail works fine

What happened guys? I just woke up

It seems all hell broke loose

Where?

this? twitter.com/TheBlock__/status/1613657131131052082

Look further up the matrix blockchain

<Morpheus[m]> "What happened guys? I just..." <- Nothing that would concern Monero

Yes. No concern for monero about missing commit history on a stolen wallet code.

No concerns at all, not even for users. Elite Wallet is safe to use, and the privacy features arent honeypots.

Since its not monero related, I wonder why he shilled his wallet here

... /s

I suppose someone has to call out the bs

sgp: noticed that active cards and redeemed history are now missing from Cake? (Cake Wallet >> Marketplace >> Cake Pay Gift Cards>> click Person Icon >> View all)

Maybe I am missing something?

Because brands are stupid and we had the build it this way :( It's not logical

<mandelbrot42[m]> "sgp: noticed that active cards..." <- This definitely shouldn't happen. Are you on a good connection? You can email all details you can to support⊙cc

anarkiocrypto[m]:

The price for an xmr purchase on bitejo shows as btc

Just a minor issue i spottef

Spotted

Just a visual error, right? It functions as expected?

alpharabius[m]: The item is worth 0.0245 xmr, not btc and that might cause confusion and overpaying

ofrnxmr[m]: Yea, i'll just explain it to the buyer

Good to know for diagnosis that its just a text error

It's not an error on my part bcuz i listed the item as 4 dollars (usd)

A text error meaning the code just says btc where it should say xmr. So a quick fix / oversight

Hello, somebody here recommended to use LTC instead of BTC to buy XMR. Can someone explain why?

Lower fees? Faster blocktime? Less congested at times, probably?

Yep, found the relevant discussion. Chat search was slow as fuck, sry)

Also, I'm in a place with an unstable Internet connection, so I can't afford running the classic monero wallet. What are my options? Cake with public nodes, Feather configured to store data only about relevant transactions, anything else?

my monero etc

it's designed for your situation

Thx, will check it out

<esac212[m]> "Thx, will check it out" <- Just keep in mind that a service like MyMonero works by giving them a significant glimpse at your incoming transaction data via your view key. Feather Wallet, or running the Monero GUI with a remote node is a much more private option.

yes good thing to mention

cryptogrampy[m]: how're the great grand kids?

cccccbgeuniglfiechcfncngjrhernbivnbtfedfgbju

2 factor code pls

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Majestic copy pasted cake (didnt..." <- Is it 'EliteWallet by MajesticBank'? Couldn't find a source for that.

I am aware of the repo, but can't find the reference.

The reference to majestic?

yep

Elite is majestic. "Trust me"

Jk.

Not sure the best place for the info, but its been known for a while that majestic was working on a new cake fork, and this is how he chose to reveal it

<sgp[m]> "This definitely shouldn't happen..." <- Will do, thanks Justin. I'll shoot an email over the weekend with a report of my issue. Wallet syncs blocks just fine, connection solid.

Perhaps you can ask him and see if he tells the truth 🙈

escapethe3ra: ^

@ofrnxmr yeah, just wanted to confirm. Will wait for the reply, if any.

I see MB is listed as 'Third-party Service' in the Privacy Policy github.com/Elite-Labs/EliteWallet/blob/master/PRIVACY.md#definitions

<mandelbrot42[m]> "Will do, thanks Justin. I'll..." <- Issue resolved after switching VPN servers and back again.Strange. all set!

twitter.com/MajesticBank/status/1613918079431368704 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but 'where MajesticBank is present' is not a direct link.

If the same team is behind both projects, it should be made clear.

Yea. Its been said in conversation somewhere over the last few months
