      Keep mining and remember the Bitcoin will have to go somewhere when that gets banned…which it will because it can

    The forever boot on humanity wins again… Thanks for your service (never used them, don’t even know what monero actually)

    Whoa wait, what’s LocalMonero and how does it relate to Monero? Does this impact Monero itself?

        Fuuuck so, and sorry for my ignorance, if I use something like Kraken to get monero, this could end up affecting that?

            Damn, that really sucks. So is this just a death sentence then?

            Btw thanks for the help, I use monero but am totally ignorant to how most of this works.

            • No, depending on how fast the developers can get done with the decentralized exchanges / swaps so that they work perfectly and are somewhat easy to use. They’ll most likely want these to be hidden services to prevent also being shut down (I am only assuming that’s what happened to L.M.)

    That’s unfortunate for people using it, but a good thing in the long run.

    Cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-work, and haven’t already migrated to less resource-intensive schemes, are doing more harm than good.

      Time to stock up on mining hardware and 5x my current mining operation 😁

      PS. The US military burns billions of gallons of fuel per month and they murder people, I think we should stop worrying about proof-of-work and focus on real threats to the world at large.

        That make total sense. Let’s just give up and accumulate a few more tokens while the world burns.

          Nothing is burning. There is a parasitical class that has hijacked the currency and is conducting large scale evil operations because they can manufacture what most believe to be money.

          Monero is here to replace their fraudulent system.

      less resource-intensive schemes

      Tell us about the options.

      And I sure hope you are not talking about “less resource-intensive schemes” that are based on “let’s give money to people who have the most money” thus making the cryptocurrencies that use it not only unfair but also even more centralized than bitcoin with its ASICs, right?

        Tell us about the options.

        Literally anything but proof of work: taler, proof of stake, proof of weight, fiat currency, gold coins, pokemon cards…

        These all have advantages and disadvantages, it depends on what users prioritize: polluting less, privacy, decentralisation, convenience, …

          proof of stake

          well, already addressed that in my comment :)

          proof of weight

          seems to be mostly the same thing as PoS.

      Okay. I’m open to other options. What fungible, distributed, seizure resistant , digital money system do you recommend that doesn’t use proof of work?

      Please cite a specific actionable example I can do research on and compare to monero.

    This is heartbreaking news. LocalMonero enabled anyone capable of navigating Ebay to convert XMR.

    Thank you, Alex & the team, for all those years of providing what is probably the best Monero-service of all.

        Forced retirement is what I’m wondering, since they’ve seen others who “enable the use of privacy coins” get arrested in the freest country in the world.

          @beeng IANAL, but I’m pretty sure that “enabling the use of privacy coins” has not been the charge in any US case.

          “Money Laundering” is the charge.

          And this is why WE NEED DEXES, and why I do what I can to support my preferred project (Haveno)

            Ahh this might have been a mistake on my part, I thought Samourai was a Monero wallet.

            I’ll checkout Haveno!

    Damn! It was so easy to buy xmr there… I hope I find a good substitute for localmonero when I need to buy xmr again

    We are a reputable trader on there -> https://agoradesk.com/user/geterdone

    and we have decided to build an I2P and Tor replacement. We have not slept since they made the announcement so we can get it up and running as fast as possible for the community. We are currently on the Matrix chat if you want to reach out to us for any questions, etc. -> @geterdone:matrix.org

    We would have posted this elsewhere but, literally the only places you can post are constantly blocked. You can tell this very quickly like what happened when localmonero announced on reddit.com/r/monero they had 38 messages but only 15 showed. The fight for privacy is becoming a war and the battlefield is open.
