is russia using monero to bypass so called 'sanctions'?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> No

why not?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Liquidity isn’t visible

...meaning?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> You don’t see billions in volume every day

well you're not supposed to know what's going on in the network are you? Anyway I meant to ask, why are they not using it?

<h​bs:matrix.org> In order to move billions they would need to have a lot of XMR so large amounts can be transferred, this is not reflected in a visible lack of liquidity on the various XMR markets so it is highly improbable

<k​evino:tchncs.de> monero market cap is around 3 billion 💀

<k​evino:tchncs.de> moving "bilions" is like moving half of market supply

<k​evino:tchncs.de> would have significant impact on price if they convert fiat to xmr

<k​evino:tchncs.de> maybe they could use some amount. But i can bet the government has already started its bitcoin mining operations

The list used to be on the getmonero.org site IIRC. Diego wasn't on it. Known members are (were ?) pony (ex), othe (ex IIRC), smooth, noodledoodle (ex I thinkm unsure), binaryfate, articmine, luigi, davidlatapie (I think he was ? ex). Probably forgetting some.

Ah the cart for articmine

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> who is the poney?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> A quick reminder that Stack Wallet is available on Desktop is very intuitive to use
