Encrypted agorism is built to win the war against the state: one transaction at a time.
Invisibility is a superpower.

For cypherpunks who love meeting IRL: thanks to the magic of social media & NOSTR, I just found this absolute gem in my replies: right in the city center of Coimbra, Portugal, there’s a spot whose owner is our cypherpunk brother: "we organize meetups, grills and larger events at zero costs for anyone visiting or wanting to stay there for a while" 🧡

Looks like spy-node runners got upset: MRL's Rucknium's domains (moneronet.info & moneroconsensus.info) got suspended by the registrar via Njalla (backup site: xmrnetscan.redteam.cash).

The End of Paralelní Polis: After a decade as a symbol of freedom, hacking and privacy tech (home to multiple MoneroKons and cypherpunk gatherings), the era of Paralelní Polis comes to an end due to financial pressures and the property owner's decision.💔

rbrunner7 made a systematic review of Monero wallet apps to see whether they support Polyseed, and if so, to what degree, with special attention to encrypted Polyseeds. https://github.com/tevador/polyseed/issues/13#issuecomment-3980281619
Polyseed support (including encryption and seed offsets) falls into these groups:
A) No Polyseed support at all. Example: official Monero GUI wallet
B) Basic Polyseed support only, without encryption or seed offsets. Example: Skylight Wallet 1.0.8
C) Polyseed + seed offsets, but no encryption. Example: Feather Wallet
D) Full support (Polyseed + seed offsets + encryption). Sole example so far: Cake Wallet
Note: Monero’s legacy word list has 1,626 words. The new Polyseed uses the BIP-39 word list (2048 words) instead.

imo, "The first free national pager" was pinprick cipher in UK after 1840 )))
"A dot or pinprick concealment cipher is a common classical encryption method in which dot or pinprick is placed above or below certain letters in a piece of writing...
...Victorians used the pinprick trick too, not for spies but to dodge high postage fees (rates varied but often around a shilling per hundred miles or so for a letter before the 1840 Penny Post reforms). Newspapers mailed free, so they’d pinprick messages on the front page and send those instead of letters."

YES! I wrote about "not for everyone" many times, most recently here ( https://aillia.substack.com/p/roads-less-traveled ):
The time is ripe.
Not for everyone.
Maybe never for everyone.
But perhaps (finally!) for the tiny fraction who actually want freedom and the responsibility that inescapably comes with it.
We don’t need to convert the herd.
We just need to become a different species in the same jungle.
Different ways. Different laws. Different hours of the day.

wow, I was only joking when I mentioned a Nostr “shadowban” )): after getting banned on twitter, everyone kept telling me Nostr was this beautiful heaven and savior for “dangerous” people like me (lol)… so I jumped in with real hope. Hearing that shadowbans can happen here too is honestly such a disappointment…
On the client side: I don’t use any! I really dislike installing apps in general, so I do everything 'social' through the Tor browser: if something doesn’t work in Tor, it basically doesn’t exist for Aillia :) and I’ve tried pretty much every browser-friendly nostr client out there, so it’s def not client-specific. Thanks weev, it’s sad but really revealing. (and situational awareness is a good thing). Btw, if it’s not client-specific, is it possible on the relay level?

Just FYI (and I apologize for whatever it is!)

2026-02-23 19:43:38 CET

When I'm not sure what to read, I read a book that has been banned by some government(s) (like the ones listed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments or similar).
But digital / online books can easily be altered (I actually caught *at least* one instance and wrote about it here: aillia.substack.com/p/tolstoys-quote-censored-from-translation).
So paper books matter: once printed, they're an immutable, uncensorable ledger!

I know I’m often seen as some Monero shill, but I’m not even really a 'crypto' person per se (unless by 'crypto' you mean cryptography :)). I find most of today’s 'crypto'… not my thing at all, outside of the OG ideas about escaping state control and separating money from the state. So, all you esteemed crypto projects, please don’t waste your precious, limited time in my DMs or under my posts as long as you’re trying to sit in two chairs with one butt, it’s not even about 'better tech.' I’ll join and fight alongside you as soon as the state cares enough to delist you/put an IRS bounty on your head/(try to) arrest your devs.
And I sincerely, without sarcasm, wish you luck ♡

One of the problems with using any VPN, for me personally, is that you must trust the provider not to log anything (and I trust no one!), and proving a negative (like claiming black swans don't exist just because you've never seen one) is practically impossible (ofc if you are not a theoretical logician, lol).
I've been a bond holder / arbitrator with SimplifiedPrivacy.com for ~1.5 years (as discussed in my Substack post on trust and bonds in the P2P economy: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/on-trust-and-bonds-in-the-p2p-economy), and there have been zero bond claims or complaints so far.
While I trust no one infinitely - and just as some infinities are larger than others - I distrust those who've consistently proven reliable a bit less. Therefore, when SP reached out, I saw it as a chance to learn how the sausages are made, so I'm now running a HydraVeil node in Sweden. You can become a HydraVeil community node operator too: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/hydraveil-node/operator-guide.html
HydraVeil (hydraveil.net) lets you isolate different parts of your online life using unique browser fingerprints, routed through different VPN operators whose identities are verified by encryption linked to Nostr. Feel free to try my node for your profiles:

YES, I want a higher $XMR price, but I'm no fiat moonboy chasing fiat off-ramps. I'm a Luna-girl, and for me higher price means:
1) Purchasing power (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P…) + real circular economy w/ its own MoE.
2) Network security: higher price = more CPU miners (gods bless Tevador & RandomX).
3) Personal security: mass adoption = easier to hide in a crowd + too many to prosecute (also please, everyone use Tor!)

When any freedom tool becomes a tribal identity, it recreates the power dynamics it was meant to dismantle.
Bitcoin as identity? A trap.
Monero as identity? A trap.
True inner freedom means no need to fit any box.

LMAO, you just proved that the AI learned to write like ME 😭😂
Because that exact phrase was *literally copy-pasted* from a private chat with *the very person I had in mind* when I wrote "people already living lives most would call impossible" )))
Looool... that line wasn't just written by me: it got cleaned up **in f*cking real time** from my VTT (see the little "edit" mark on the screenshot 😂):

Create something relatively good -> "AI-sus"

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

To the "don’t trust the system" and "begging won’t help" privacy cynics: I’m one of you.
I don’t trust the state (any state!) one bit.
I live behind Tor/VPNs, I literally burn devices, no IP, no ID, no KYC, "everyone is a fed" mentality & building the parallel economy that will one day make the state irrelevant.
But some of our brothers are already inside the state's meat grinder: jailed for writing code that protects YOU.
They can’t do anything anymore.
They can only stare at a signature counter and hope.
You know that little dopamine hit when the notification bell goes +1… of course you know - you see this msg on some social network ;)
For them, every new signature is that bell.
Except theirs decides whether they walk free or rot in a cage.
You don’t have to "believe in the system".
Just give them one more red notification, one more dopamine hit, one more spark of hope.
If your heart is too armored for empathy, borrow mine.
Fight on both fronts... anonymously/pseudonymously.

PSA #XmrBazaar: Active fake/wrapped token scam in the Exchange category
A user (BigWhale1) is trying to scam people by “sending” BEP-20 LTC on the BNB Smart Chain.
The transaction is real and will show up on BSCScan with your correct wallet address
Example TX: https://bscscan.com/tx/0x409737e986ed63868ccbc86d68272d0d8d84cda2ab1ba6b3b3e32b8806d382c7
What looks like “5.27 LTC” being sent to you is actually a completely fake token.
How to spot it instantly:
- Click the token name “LTC” in the transaction details
- You’ll be taken to the fake contract: 0xacdb…2dfe
- Real Binance-Peg Litecoin lives at: 0x4338665CBB7B2485A8858A139b75D5e34AB3DB94
- The fake one has almost no holders, no liquidity, and $0 value
This is a classic dusting/impersonation scam!
You didn’t receive any real LTC: nothing of value was sent!!!
Stay safe and always double-check the contract address!

X comment (https://x.com/BloodReaver/status/1990902746774712333): “Uber increases traffic, pays shit wages and mostly works for shareholder value maximization, just like Airbnb reducing housing supply, affordability and availability. In those cases they were right!”
Me: Except you missed the whole point of the post was that centralized power absolutely hates decentralized disruptors ;) All the downsides you listed (traffic, housing shortages, high rents) aren’t the fault of Uber / Airbnb: they’re the fault of decades of insane licensing cartels, zoning laws, meddling regulation, and artificial supply restrictions created by the states / governments. But that’s a long story involving second- and third-order effects, and society always prefers a quick, emotionally satisfying villain + a “simple” ban or tax or license to “fix” it. You actually made me want to sit down and write a whole letter about this… then I remembered Thomas Sowell already destroyed this take in Economic Facts and Fallacies (https://annas-archive.org/search?q=Sowell+Economic+Facts+and+Fallacies and his other books)... I can’t do better than the GOAT :)) But may be I can do it funnier with memes so it's more digestible...I'll see...

aw, thank you so much for the offer :)
I really appreciate you thinking of me :) rn I’m sticking with Substack + X + Nostr because that’s the only way to reach ppl: for a *peer-to-peer* parallel Monero economy we need… well, peers :)))
I do have themeritocrat.com and I know a thing or two about self-hosting, lol, it’s just that discoverability is the impossible without platforms.
But seriously, thank you!
