  <gzx:metropolis.nexus> I knew it couldn't have just been the country! Thanks nioc—will have to watch now since 80's will always be the most golden age of moviemaking

  <sentryprivacy:matrix.org> I plan to convert most of my funds into XMR in the future.Is it safe for foreigners to buy XMR from Kraken?
• 08:11
  br-m
  <sentryprivacy:matrix.org> Will they prevent withdrawals after depositing funds,Or proactively report it to the government so they can cause you trouble.
• 08:20
  br-m
  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> In any case, you can just buy LTC from them and then go to Trocador and swap to XMR.
• 08:22
  br-m
  <dufebo98> May I ask why LTC instead of USDT or BTC?
• 08:22
  br-m
  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> Or if your threat model is that high, go get shafted by the RetoSwap sellers.
• 08:23
  br-m
  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> @dufebo98: No reason, just an example.
• 08:24

  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> It is quite fast and has low fees. Personally never experienced trading btc or Tether yet.

  <sentryprivacy:matrix.org> Thank you. I'm not considering using the mixer for now because of the exchange rate loss. My funds are currently clean.
• 08:32
  br-m
  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> What mixer ?
• 08:34
  br-m
  <pyratevevo:matrix.org> The exchange rate shouldn't be more than 2% last I checked.

  <milas900:matrix.org> How can AI help me to explore more about monero ? Maybe link it to GitHub or what’s the best thing to do
• 10:21
  br-m
  <kayabanerve:matrix.org> An LLM cannot. You should read about Monero via community documentation which has been reviewed and revised for years

  <intr:unredacted.org> also, pester the devs, relentlessly

  <gan:skhron.org> Sure
• 21:16
  marsupialSoup
  is the element matrix more active?
• 21:17
  br-m
  <gan:skhron.org> what that supposed to mean?
• 21:17
  br-m
  <gan:skhron.org> There's nothing that's called Element Matrix, Matrix is a protocol and Element is a client
• 21:18
  marsupialSoup
  is matrix more active then?
• 21:18
  btcdwed
  DYOR
• 21:19
  br-m
  <gan:skhron.org> Depends, certain IRC channels aren't bridged to Matrix, while others are
• 21:19
  br-m
  <gan:skhron.org> furthermore I'm writing from Matrix by the way
• 21:25
  marsupialSoup
  cool, thanks

  <snjya:matrix.org> An opinion based question to people who interact with more people than me: how many in the general folk (so called Normies) do you think know about xmr?
• 22:04
  br-m
  <snjya:matrix.org> Also, why are so many people so hyper specialised? Is it just my personal impression or does anyone here share it?
• 22:07
  br-m
  <snjya:matrix.org> I wanted to have a small chat about digital Id, cbdc and stuff with my younger employees after a coffee meeting, they looked at me like I am a Swahili speaking boomer.
• 22:09
  br-m
  <snjya:matrix.org> They are younger than me, they should have known more about the likes of Microsoft trying to trackour whereabouts and all that!
• 22:10
  br-m
  <snjya:matrix.org> I felt stupid after that conversation.
• 22:11
  br-m
  <snjya:matrix.org> As if I was speaking gibberish to those vape smoking children in suits.
