It may be inconvenient for you if you have never used crypto, but procurring Bitcoin, or especially Monero, will teach you a valuable lesson...
We don't want to know who you really are. It is better for us, and it is certainly better for you.
This is important.
Privacy projects find it extremely difficult to get listed on the bigger exchanges, and also find it near impossible to keep themselves listed on exchanges as they move closer to tier 1
Because of this the question is now becoming to what extent should we support these exchanges with market making and/or liquidity provision
For the sake of discussion I will focus on @firoorg and @_PIVX
Recently I seem to have become the unwilling 'face' of a narrative that distrusts centralised exchanges and/or doesnt think any of them have the resources to withstand the inevitable onslaught they will get for keeping privacy coins listed.
Here is a news article showing one of the few remaining privacy allowing centralised exchanges @mexc being cut off from US banking despite there being no conviction or ruling made inside a court in the exchanges country of domicile NOR the US itself.

So what is the solution, should we:
1) Continue to fund Markets on these tier 2 exchanges and pray that the 'democrats' come into power in the USA and the regime changes their stance on privacy to either make it legal or stop attacking privacy projects and people worldwide?
2) Play whack-a-mole with the exchanges and continually get new listings on new low volume brave tier 3 centralised exchanges like @nonkyc_exchange or @safetrade or the dozens of others that is not convenient to mention?
3) Build new liquid markets using existing or upcoming tooling/tech such as @BasicSwapDEX or @SeraiDEX respectively, or one of the many tens of other truly decentralised solutions, that it is not convenient to mention?
4) something else that I've not mentioned above?
I feel like this is NOT something that we can afford to approach in a fragmented way as individual projects, exchanges and tooling, and I am almost certain that we will not all agree on the solution.
I would love to see @leacymck ask the guests on her upcoming privacy roundtable @PrivacyRndtable@reubenyap@GinoFPM for their thoughts on this matter?
I'd also like the opinions of the 'BIG BOYS'
@monero@sethforprivacy@vikrantnyc@kayabaNerve@DouglasTuman@Dashpay@TheDesertLynx (who could be a guest on the roundtable one day if he's not already shown his face?)
@hilawe@pshenmic
And anyone from @zodl_co , because as the old poem goes..... "when they came for my neighbour, I did nothing" (or something like that ;) )

Not your keys, not your coins?
Apparently, it's now:
Your keys, our RPC. Your coins, our permission.
A scammer sends 0.0001 dust to your wallet without your consent.
You didn't approve anything. You didn't interact with the scammer. You simply received an unsolicited transaction on a public blockchain.
Then Phantom's compliance filter kicks in:
"Your address has interacted with a flagged malicious entity. Transactions disabled."
Wait. WHAT?
So a random scammer can poison my wallet address with dust, trigger your automated risk detection, and suddenly I can't use your wallet interface to move my own assets?
Welcome to self-custody, where you own the keys but apparently need corporate permission to use them.
The blockchain didn't freeze my account.
The centralized frontend did.
The irony is almost too good.
We built crypto to escape banks freezing our money, only to end up with fintech apps wearing a decentralization costume.
If a wallet can unilaterally disable your ability to transact because some random third party sent you dust, maybe it's time to rethink what "self-custody" actually means.
Not your keys, not your coins?
More like:
Your keys. Their rules. Their permission.
Peak Web3 UX. 🤡
A Georgia mayor put a tracker on his own police chief's truck, leading to the town's whole police force quitting.
Milner's mayor admitted it. He suspects the chief of logging hours he didn't work, which the chief denies.
The one reserve officer left is also the county coroner.
‼️ Mozilla says AI will soon be able to find every security bug in Firefox.
It shipped over 7 times as many security fixes as a year earlier, with early access to Anthropic and OpenAI models.
But it found a free Chinese model, GLM 5.3, can already exploit some of those fixes.
Oooo. We almost forgot:
zano:native, $FUSD and Confidential Assets get a double bonus subscriptions up to 3 months.
Subscribe for 1,2,or 3 months and get a 2,4,or 6 month subscription on us!
For a limited time of course :)
Watch us pay *privately* with Bitcoin on Zano in the attached video!
✨Meile v2.8.2 is out!
This release introduces @zano_project Integrated Payments for Zano CAs and the native asset. For best UX use @FreedomWallet since that wallet properly handles a Zano URI for scanning the QR code, especially with Confidential Assets.
We also now have an AppImage for Linux users which we have placed on our website and GitHub.
A couple bug fixes, introduced in v2.8.0, specific for Ubuntu 26.04 Wireguard where AppArmor prevented wg from coming up.
QR Code fix on new Sentinel Wallets as well.
