    Hm. I guess I have to get out the 'ol hose and canister again.

    Bitcoin=Snitchcoin

    Monero won’t broadcast every exchange’s handler’s details: IP address, ID, time & Date, Amount, Target, Totals, etc.

      Just use Lightning and you’ll have literally the same onion routing as Tor. Monero doesn’t hide your IP address or dates either.

      If there’s ever an inflation bug in Monero (like the value overflow incident), it will go undetected.

        Doesn’t stop the transaction from being broadcast all details. TOR or not don’t matter. Broadcast of all details is %100 lightning or not. Monero DOES “hide” your details. It may be visible that I access the Monero network if I don’t ride a VPN but it doesn’t matter. No more info about said usage is broadcast.

        I can see you used PornHub today too. Should have used a VPN. I know how long you watched each of those videos too. Maybe find a VPN that accepts Monero, not the Snitchcoin.

        “Bug” LMFAO

          We don’t strongly disagree here - we’re both protecting our online privacy by bouncing that traffic around a little, through either a VPN or Tor.

          We’re betting our freedom on the assumption that the bad guys won’t compromise each hop. It’s easier for them to compromise PornHub and then my VPN than it is to compromise each LN hop. So Monero won’t make my wanking any safer; the dick police will just go after the weakest link.

          The value overflow incident was a bug that allowed some dude to give himself a bazillion bitcoins. It was caught and fixed before he spent any.

    The value of mining is in permanent recording of people’s current heroin transactions. The bitcoin you get is the reward for the service.

      Could donate to OP’s instance. More useful than reddit gold ever was that way.

      A button for that would be pretty neat.
