Last Notes npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA When I was a kid, my first real internalisation of death came from a book. It was Man Meets Dog by Konrad Lorenz. In the final chapter, Fidelity and Death, he talks about the grief of a dog’s shorter lifespan. Dogs live only about one-fifth as long as humans. ...so a human will watch a beloved dog age and die far sooner than any human born on the same day. He writes that in human life "all pleasures must be paid for by sorrow." I decided then that I would never have pets. But I still have to pay the price for dealing with and caring about people whose lifespans are shorter. For different reasons, yes. And those reasons are exactly what make them the best people to be around. npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA 🫂 🫂 💔 npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA I feel that mourning is a form of jealousy: they have escaped this damned world and left you alone in it, a place you were never meant to be in the first place, forced now to keep enduring it, locked inside the prison of your meatsuit… “And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA I've been mostly absent online lately and I'm sorry, I know it made some of you worry.

They discussed XmrBazaar, and it's clear the idea is ripe: many people are independently arriving at the same conclusion around decentralization + Monero circular economy: - I wrote about it about a month ago: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/i/202180432/decentralization-is-the-only-way-forward - SlowBearDigger has it on the roadmap: https://xmrpay.shop/roadmap.html - LukeProfits is already working on something similar: https://github.com/lukeprofits/OpenMarket The key missing piece is multisig/non-custodial escrow. In a privacy-preserving system without KYC and/or IP logging, you absolutely can not operate without mandatory (not optional!) multisig/non-custodial escrow and/or bonds by default. Any voluntary privacy-focused market that can't rely on traditional law enforcement (unlike Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist) tends to attract a disproportionate number of scammers and worse (see this depressing thread: https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/51/) There are already promising approaches for better Monero multisig / escrowed markets that are worth looking at: 1. spirobel's Serai-powered Monero multisig escrow with offline arbitrators: https://monerochan.news/article/19 2. The existing tool by MoneroMultisig: https://freigeist-m.github.io/monero-multisig-gui/ (rbrunner (Monero dev) has spoken well of it, I haven't tried it myself yet) 3.

This requires a mindset shift, as we are born into state systems. Once enough people embrace this on nurturing platforms like XMRbazaar, we can progress towards decentralization: the only way forward.” XmrBazaar has already achieved the first part of that goal. It has nurtured a growing community that has experienced P2P freedom. It has served as the necessary on-ramp. It proved the demand exists. It showed what works and what breaks. It gave thousands of people their first real experience of a parallel, voluntary economy using Monero as the medium of exchange. That experience cannot be uninvented. Once people have traded privately and directly, the appeal of returning to fully tracked corporate systems diminishes. It is growing exponentially and will keep growing. https://blossom.primal.net/5d2ff10063135201dc4828e67995b03877033f9dcff2fd2b4b259da35b17e000.png #nevent1q…vnxe npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA From Haveno Developmet dev channel: https://blossom.primal.net/ac06eba756359ac947a207ef685c147fda8cddd4bd104a95f6a063ba9f1ec705.png npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA 🚨Haveno PSA - Ongoing Attack: If you're running RetoSwap, revoke all offers and pause trading.

Another said the whole piece "feels AI-generated". People's attitudes are messed up in an interesting way: they can't differentiate anymore: everything is suspect as AI slop. Thanks to this, we've entered Hesse’s Age of the Feuilleton from The Glass Bead Game: "The most important consequence of this new attitude… was that men largely ceased to produce works of art. Moreover, intellectuals gradually withdrew from the bustle of the world." I'm 100% anonymous/pseudonymous = I can’t prove I'm not a bot anymore. The only "proof" left seems to be historical records, ID, or biometrics... and that's not happening in my case. At least Bob Dylan never had to prove he isn’t a bot to anyone :)) npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA https://blossom.primal.net/444fce410958415f589bad2c31db043e4f821e5dc7c413dc86f0bd09ca452c32.png #nevent1q…vv7z npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA there is at least one person in Monero Matrix chats who claims that he/she is from China npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA ...but it's the only way to find out :) npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA YT link (timestamped): https://youtu.be/zchQDcqfWaM?t=582 npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA For the absolute majority of people, surveillance is the first step towards… safety. "You will have no privacy and you will feel safe" is part of the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" social package. I'm not even being sarcastic: it's simply reality. A couple of months ago YT recommended a random video by a random Chinese vlogger. I scrolled through it mostly trying to reverse-engineer why the algorithm pushed it. Then I paused on this line: "Cameras are all over the place in China but honestly we are pretty chill about it. They make us feel safe. If anything we worry about is the blind spot where there are no cameras." Just a normal person. She wants to feel safe. Most do. Especially as violent crime rises in Western countries. At some point, anything that delivers that feeling (real or perceived) will be embraced. https://blossom.primal.net/aa2bfd1d24f1b6956e5e4bf3156b9f0e00117d13df52ae75a2018984b0f26e5a.mp4 npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA Any technology that CAN be used for surveillance WILL be used for surveillance. https://blossom.primal.net/8eb0424a3f6b2291003ad2537bdadf7b7f005c6d55e06544108008b359aaf403.png npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA Privacy is not a setting.

I run multiple VPS across many different providers and have received my share of abuse complaints. In every single case, responding within 24-48 hours (per the provider's policy) has ALWAYS prevented any service interruption. Shutting down a VPS with ZERO notice is highly unusual and outside normal industry practice (especially for a host that positions itself as privacy and freedom-of-speech friendly!). npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA XmrBazaar's hosting provider 1984.is has shut down the VPS without warning due to abuse tickets we NEVER received notifications for. We had NO chance to respond. Good news: All data is fully backed up and safe! Worst case, #XmrBazaar will migrate to a new provider. https://blossom.primal.net/706492c46d337fffb96c13616fefdd664f1d0cdf18bda79155da3ffe10637df1.jpg npub1ajlljavyzaj44k96zg7euzxkp4m8q3w6yfrjah5xel4gax3v697qc5d9u3 AilliA "There's 100 articles about everywhere from Yahoo Finance to Bob's Shit Dick blog."

"Liquidity, accessibility, and distribution" of CEXs are nice short-term benefits, but they come at the cost of dependence.

This version fixes a critical exploit that allowed an attacker to manipulate the initialization protocol and create compromised multisig trade wallets before funds were deposited. Following the incident, critical paths in the code have been reviewed for additional potential vulnerabilities leading up to multisig creation. Defensive checks are added in https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/pull/2315 to verify peer identities against known public key rings for strict cryptographic continuity. Anyone is welcome to audit the code for further vulnerabilities, and we ask that findings be disclosed responsibly. This version also updates Tor and improves its permissions on Windows.
