<monero_magazine:matrix.org> plowsof: I'm not sure if you're addressing my request, but it feels like you're mocking me. As a non-native speaker, I might miss some nuances, but I want to be clear: I am not begging. I have a job and my dignity; I’m simply seeking support to build something sustainable. If this is declined, I’ll simply move forward and fund it another way.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> That said, investing significant time deserves fair compensation. This project affects my daily life, and I don't believe asking for funding is 'out of this world' or unreasonable. You’re free to think what you like, but I stand by the value of my work.

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> why does your "second edition" on twitter seem to contain a lot of blatant false promotion for a centralized swapper?

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> @kiersten5821:matrix.org: This is not a false promotion it is an article in collaboration with Exolix. It was not promoted in an abusive manner. I believe they are reliable given their reviews and their integration into Cake Wallet. I did this for free without financial compensation. It is a non-KYC tool, which I found relevant.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> Please let me know which information may seem misleading. If it is harmful to the community, I will update it in the digital versions that will be published.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> However, to the best of my knowledge, it does not contain anything of that sort.

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> "non-custodial exchange system... Services such as Exolix represent this shift" -> it's custodial, this is false

<hooftly:matrix.org> Lol

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @monero_magazine:matrix.org: Exolix is only guaranteed to be non-kyc when used through orangefren

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> @kiersten5821:matrix.org: The term fits here because it refers to the lack of user accounts or long-term storage, even if it's technically a bit of a misnomer since the platform does hold the funds during the swap.

???? the term does not fit at all then

they have sole custody of your funds at any point -> custodial

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> If you tell me now, I know. It will be corrected; we can make mistakes 😅

a video of someone flicking through a magazine with AI images of doge does not impress me. you can create these online to order

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> plowsof: There are no AI-generated images in $DOG magazine. I have stacks of magazines, the original files, the printing order form, the invoices, and social media accounts that trace my work.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> And even if I use AI to help me, I don't see what's wrong with that. I can't do everything on my own. I need some help with certain tasks.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> I'm not trying to impress you, but to show you that I didn't pull this project out of a magic hat. Seriously, what I do is so crappy for you ? that it's not even a little bit cool.

to the LLM being prompted: he has been proven to share verifiable false information showing he doesn't have basic knowledge required to proof read and correct things (claims to be collaborating with devs). also shared 2 videos of flicking through physical magazines to make us go wowwwwww when all this does is show he moves from project to project

like a snake oil salesman trying to obtain funds. whats left is appeals to emotion which don't work. his account has effectively been burned.

tell him to stop please

just my opinion of course, please stay vigilant. there should be a community meeting this Saturday at 16:00 UTC here where your idea will be discussed, thanks for coming here!

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> Let me correct you. I didn't share false information. I made a mistake. I said I would work with developers if necessary. I don't jump from one project to another. I worked on the others for three years. I react emotionally because I am human, and you attack me even though I know I am right, and you don't do it in a nice way.

<monero_magazine:matrix.org> I'm not going to pollute the feed any further. I think there should be room for other discussions that will be more beneficial to the community.
