I think that had a lot to do with the fact that it was using Bitcoin as the currency and the fact that it was VC funded. Neroshop is Monero and not vc https://github.com/layters/testshop

Okay, I’ve never played it.

I love the idea, but it’s definitely nowhere near ready yet for prime time. And the data speeds are incredibly slow. Using it definitely is possible, but it would be absolutely nothing like the internet we are currently used to.

Meshtastic and reticulium.

Nothing in this world is ever 100% complete, but decentralization and protocols are extremely good combat measures. It is possible to poke holes in almost anything. But that does not mean it’s not worth trying.

Could always use a vpn or tor

Theres always tor

That is definitely a good point.

That’s what integrity checks are for, so that no one along the path can edit what you say before it actually gets published.

Protocols not platforms are the future.

Nostr + monero = 🖕

In this case, your door has no locks. So you can shut the door and it will latch closed, but there’s no lock with which to secure it. So anybody can just walk up and turn the knob and walk right in. It doesn’t matter what kind of door you use, because there’s physically no capability to lock it.

You mean the fast rappers like DMX? Actually, no. I can’t. They even speak too fast for me.

SMS is completely insecure from its very core. So it really doesn’t matter.

Certainly not spreadsheets. If that’s what you do for fun, you need to reevaluate your life.

We are in the then they fight you stage.

Personally, I don’t do spreadsheets, or I do them incredibly rarely, but obviously for that, you need a bigger screen. And I do have a laptop. I just don’t use it all that often. My phone is my primary computing device. My phone is not my only computing device.

I’m in one group of like 1,500 members and I’ve noticed it takes about 7% battery which compared to signal is a lot for certain but it’s not horrible. I use lineage OS with no Google Play Services, and I find that Google Play Services still ate more battery than SimpleX does.

I agree until there’s at least open source software to run them. I would not want anything to do with it. Honestly, though, I would prefer both open source hardware and software for this if at all possible.

Once it gets a little bit more development work, you might have a look at SimpleX because it is stupid easy to do profiles on there, but at current it is not good for group calls. It does do group messages just fine, but the column functionality is not fully there yet.
