protecting Ukraine
So, turning Ukraine into a mass prison that people are desperatly trying to escape, where people are kidnapped on the streets and sent to die on the frontlines? Can they somehow opt-out of this protection? Yeah, didn’t think so, obviously you know what’s better for other people.
No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.
Obviously it wouldn’t happen, just the current front lines would become the new borders.
But even your bogeyman “hand over Ukraine to Russia” is still orders of magnitudes better for Ukrainians than the current situation.
I think Mullvad is great even if you don’t use their VPN :)
Start of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Now I have to worry every day that people I know (who have not managed to escape Ukraine) will either get killed by a Russian rocket or will get kidnapped from the streets by Ukrainian “recruitment officers”.

What’s the plan when the assault against the monero devs is launched?
Some devs are anonymous but that’s not a plan, just countermeasures.
What such a plan could look like? I don’t see other options except for staying anonymous…
I’ve installed the template of kali-core (available by default in the template manager), them create a qube with the kali-core template, and add all the apps available to the qube. Sadly I don’t have all the apps that are normally present into Kali. Such as Ettercap and Wireshark
Maybe those apps are not installed by default in the template? Launch a terminal in the template and try to install ettercap and wireshark from there.
not in the “default” template manager how do I use that?
Never tried that, and I couldn’t find anything about installing templates from local files on qubes wiki :(
Tryqvm-templatecommand in dom0 terminal and see if there are options to install template from local files there.
So how do I to install flatpaks? (Install flatpak CLI in the template and use it on the qube?)
Dunno what is the proper way to install flatpaks, those few times when I actually need to use a flatpak, I just download it to an app qube and then launch it from terminal (I guess that’s what you’re doing as well?). I use Arch [btw] for some of my qubes, and installing mullvad browser is easy thanks to AUR :)Ah sorry, I actually confused flatpaks with AppImages. I don’t use flatpaks at all :(
When I’m doing a Kali template it doesn’t give me all the apps that are present in Kali.
Have you installed them in the template?
And if I want to use Parrot?
If there are no templates available, you will have to either create one or use HVM. Can’t help you with either though
basically I want to know the way of installing apps
Launch a terminal in the chosen template, and install the software there like you would normally do it in the distro that the template is based on. Shutdown the template afterwards. Shutdown your app qube. Go to settings of your app qube - applications - click refresh. Move the installed app from the left side to the right. Done.
Want to set up “hacking” lab, mainly Kali or Parrot and other to use with the networking to “hack” them, basically I want to run multiples VMs
Install Kali in template manager (it is available as a community template). Create an app qube based on that template. Done.
10·22 days agoand only on official mobile client.
This is incorrect, it is also available in other mobile clients (at least those which are forks of the official one).
Why is Telegram “insane”?
Left-wingers identify nearly everyone who doesn’t agree with them or doesn’t share their delusions as “right-wing extremists”.
I don’t see why US election deserve more credit on global communities than French. German or Belgian ones.
Because French, German and Belgium elections don’t affect the rest of the world (or “global community” if you prefer) nearly as much as the USA ones?
I didn’t even slightly care about American politics, until they started a proxy war in my country and now whether hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of people live or die (probably) depends on the elections in USA…
111·28 days agoBeing drafted (which is forced labour where you additionally have a high chance of being killed or wounded) is always not okay, not just when it is done to invade another country.
The existence of this post (and its title in particular) might give you a clue…
If we look at the funded CCS proposals https://ccs.getmonero.org/work-in-progress/, a lot of the recently funded proposals have very few donors, while the amount of money donated is quite big, which means that they are extremely generously funded by a very small group of people (sometimes just 1 person!).
- Do we know who is funding the proposals? (I know we cannot answer this by looking at the blockchain due to the privacy features of XMR, but maybe there are some accepted theories in the community where funds are coming from?).
- What happens if those few people stop their donations?
Monero only serves as an illegal tool to facilitate crime online
Well, that’s provably false :) I pay for hosting and domain of my instance with Monero, quite sure this is legal. You can prove yourself wrong by paying for something legal with Monero, if you want.
until it will be regulated by our governments (hopefully this happens soon).
They already try to do that, don’t they? I wish them to have as much success as they had (and have) with banning drugs. They can’t really stop Monero (unless they force people into whitelisted internet, or find a critical bug in the software).
Monero fails to be a medium of exchange that is widely accepted, except for crime and extremely niche cases that will eventually be regulated to oblivion.
This is not a valid argument… There’s no “medium of exchange” that is accepted everywhere (even US dollar). Zimbabwean dollar is also not widely accepted, yet I suspect you would call it a currency. You can argue (and you would be correct) that it is not widely accepted, but you can’t say that it’s not a currency because of that.
Neither is Monero a store of value. As proved by past price history, its extreme volatility and reliance on the price movements of BTC/fraudulent cryptocurrencies means that when they eventually fall, Monero will follow. No one on this planet would save or transact in a currency with extreme volatility that could mean losing half the fiat value of your money over night.
This is an even more invalid argument… How many fiat currencies have failed, how many had hyper-inflation? And yet again I suspect you would call them currencies. And people transacted and saved in them.
Monero has a tainted reputation
I guess in some sense it’s true. But that’s part of a bigger problem. People need to understand that just because some government labels person a criminal, does not mean that they have actually done anything bad or are a bad person. My country considers me, and many more people like me, criminals - because we don’t want to go to a war and die for a Nazi regime… They freeze our bank accounts for that as well (and yes, Monero fixes that). I’m sure you consider me a bad person for that and would rather see me dead or at least my money confiscated, but oh well - I don’t.
It uses old blockchain architecture that only allows one block every 2 minutes with limited transactions that can barely handle the transaction throughput of Visa or Paypal.
This is being worked on, right now stress test is conducted on stagenet and results are being used to improve scalability :)
There’s always an option to introduce L2s, if they will ever be needed, etc. It’s just not a priority right now because in the current state the network can handle order(s) of magnitude more transactions than it has now.You have to sync the blockchain worth hundreds of gigabytes, which is continuing to grow infinitely, to run your own node. In the future, normal people won’t even be able to run any node as the size of the Monero blockchain grows extremely large. It will rely on data centers and centralized entities like Bitcoin making the network vulnerable to attacks.
You can sync a pruned node, which take around 70GBs now, that’s less than some modern games. If that ever becomes a problem, a pruned node can sync an even smaller percentage of total blockchain to make it viable for more people to self-host.
Also, unlike Bitcoin or other transparent blockchains, you have to scan the entire history of Monero that can take hours if you have unluckily stored your money in it long ago. Imagine waiting hours at the cashier register waiting for the blockchain to sync so it can register that $5 of Monero that you stored years ago!
With FCMPs we will have a new type of private key, that you can share with a remote node to scan the blockchain for your transactions, without a significant loss of privacy :)
Monero is centralized
Well, I guess this argument is valid (just as much as it is valid with other cryptocurrencies). But you can always fork. People didn’t like where BTC was going, BCH was forked. If people won’t like where XMR is going, XCH (or whatever) can be forked :)
I will provide FOUR irrefutable arguments against Monero below.
Dunno, seems quite refutable to me 🤷
Well, as a Ukrainian, I also hope so, but unironically.
Because if my hometown will get conquered by “hostile force” people will finally be able to leave, and I will be able to visit it and leave it afterwards.
