00:35:14 <1​23bob123:matrix.org> Monero condom 01:08:40 I would not recommend buying crypto with credit for multiple reasons while it may be the “safest, & most convenient” it is also the most potentially dangerous, & expensive option. 01:08:40 It exposes your purchase to major financial institutions (many whom aren’t crypto friendly) they either reject your transactions, or severely upcharge you for cash fees. 01:08:40 Government agencies also can get this information, & use it for tracking purposes, use it for harassment if you’re a political dissident, or they can claim you’re engaging in tax avoidance/money laundering. 01:08:41 Alternatively, if you do purchase from an exchange I would probably recommend ach, or debit at least so you’re not charged additional fees, & rejected. 01:08:41 I would recommend using ATMs with a burner phone, or using Bisq, or Agora Desk ideally though however. 01:09:59 It depends on your goals, & threat model. 01:11:30 any good VPS hosting recommendations, that have easy signup, accept XMR 01:11:31 ? 01:11:50 I need several hundred GB disk space 01:21:40 1984.hosting 01:48:21 thx 07:47:13 incognet.io or kyun.host 10:02:59 Hmm. kyun.host is down. ovh rentals. 10:05:48 Anyway, I need a new home for a 1 unit rack server.

Good stuff! 14:17:19 Hey there! Glad you find value in the content. :-) 14:18:51 Are you the article's author? 14:19:21 yup, it's my site 14:48:55 Nice site! 15:48:15 ◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢ I see that lately you did a review for StarBook laptop. Do you plan to do a review for NovaCustom laptops as well? 15:48:30 They take XMR payments 😉 15:56:15 k4r4b3y: heh, afair they were also using Clevo chassis which tbh I'm not a big fan of. The StarBook was particularly attractive due to its coreboot support (hopefully, eventually) and the fact that it's a minimalist and decent looking chassis. 16:02:43 Got it. NovaCustom's come with Coreboot+Heads, as well. I can't comment on the chassis, though. I pay some attention to it. 16:06:35 k4r4b3y: do you have one? 16:07:21 not yet :) 16:07:28 I am really eyeing the PD50 model, though. 16:07:37 Runs QubesOS and has RTX series graphics card. 16:15:01 Has this already been discussed somewhere? https://cointelegraph.com/news/finnish-authorities-traced-monero-vastaamo-hack 16:15:48 Was the guy kyced on binance? 16:16:45 Because sheeple are retarded. 16:18:13 Sounds odd that an hacker makes such a mistake 16:23:34 Any plausible idea? 16:24:07 Cocaine. 16:27:03 It might be they followed some decoys, and made some nice/lucky guesses? 16:29:58 The Finnish case seems like the normal EAE attack, they knew the amount going out to pay the ransom, and they knew the amount of the suspicious Binance deposit. It's all a matter of connecting the dots from there. 16:31:10 And this is not something you can really protect against, Monero is simply not a mixer, you can't "deposit" and "withdraw" from the network in quick succession and expect privacy. 16:31:29 Amount correlatiom 16:31:36 Correlation* 16:53:30 Let's suppose the feds know all the real input of the first transaction. Then they see an other transaction with all those input plus the decoys. A big one with equal volume. That would ring a bell or 2. Its possible that the guy did not have any other input to spend and was greedy to make the total transfer instead of chunking a bit 16:57:52 Probably was he greedy 16:58:06 he should've took out bit by bit, over some period of time. 16:58:18 on different exchanges (both cex, and dex)./ 17:15:48 should've taken 17:19:15 By the way online you read sensational bullshit on this story.. 17:20:01 It means only ONE THING 17:20:17 Someone is buying a whole load of Monero and doesn't want the price to go up. 17:26:53 They want to accumulate as much as possible before it go to M87 and rip bitcorn 17:32:22 The admins need monero to do many shady thing 17:32:22 And they also need it so they can get rid of the cash as they won't need it anymore 18:32:57 <1​23bob123:matrix.org> Can they track the css wallet “hack” 🤔 19:16:50 Why not keep money in xmr. It seems pretty stable over the last year 19:17:08 Don't see the point in rushing to cash out. 19:17:24 yeah. xmr is the best money. 19:23:59 XMR is the only money 19:24:12 And it's a stable coin so yeah. I keep all in XMR 19:24:38 XMR is a stable coin with upwards value trajectory. 19:25:06 but people only accept paypal 19:25:40 Find another place to shop then 19:28:10 paypal? bruh that's so 2010s... 19:28:21 future is now old man. 19:28:30 Scampal have literally zero usecase now. 20:03:51 yet that's what's most widely accepted 20:03:59 crypto lost this battle 20:04:09 paypal is the undisputed GOAT 20:11:47 Paypal is such cancerious shit 20:12:07 Google pay is as bad now though 20:20:53 paypal is undisputed bullshit 20:21:58 that was easy... who's next 😄 20:58:00 great_taste: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEugdp6X0AAy700?format=jpg&name=small 20:58:05 :) 20:59:05 Paypal goat?
