@tolu_id @BeldexCoin BChat without a phone number is the part that matters. Firo does the same for money, no email, no account, just 12 words.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@0xPritom @RyzneOnX @BeldexCoin Beldex is doing real work. Firo's in that same bucket for me, private by default and nobody talks about it either.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@Cypher_Citadel On-chain analysis only works because Bitcoin hands you the whole ledger. Same tooling points at Firo and gets nothing back, since Spark hides sender, receiver and amount by default. Curious which metrics you'd even track on a chain like that.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@Benzempire2021 @BeldexCoin Digital ID is the piece nobody solved yet.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@DoingFedTime No middleman to deny you is the whole point. Firo works the same way, private by default, nobody to ask.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@slim_timothy24 @FrennyDefi @BeldexCoin Masternodes securing the chain is different from masternodes seeing your traffic though. Firo's run ChainLocks, so they finalize blocks but never touch what's inside a Spark transaction. Which project are you looking at here?

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

Monero puts me in a ring of 16 and hopes nobody figures out which one is real. i respect the hell out of that project, it's just a different bet than the one Firo made. spark drops my coin into a pool of about 32,000 and there's nothing to decoy in the first place.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@FrennyDefi @BeldexCoin Masternodes you have to trust are still trust.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@RMac_5 @BeldexCoin Beldex has BNS, Firo has Spark Names. Same idea, both default private.

Swapped some eth on a dex last week and the fill came back three percent worse than the quote. Nothing broke. A bot read my order sitting in the mempool, jumped ahead of me, and sold it back at my own price. Bots pull half a billion a year doing that.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@its_EveWeb3 Privacy as a premium tier is the part that gets me. Firo just made it the default and moved on

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@PIVX_AFRICA Cameras get smashed, ledgers don't. Everyone's happy to break a lens but nobody wants to give up the exchange app tracking every payment. Firo's the only part of this I actually control.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

I mine Firo with a gaming gpu between matches and nobody at a mining farm can outspend me on hardware. imo that's the part of FiroPoW nobody talks about

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

Soft-forked Ethereum for Tornado Cash to work. deposit, wait, hope enough people are in the pool with you, withdraw and pray your timing doesn't fingerprint you.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@zanostats The network runs the same regardless. That's the part I like.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@IOGroup @IOHK_Charles @SALTConference Agents transacting all day on a transparent chain leak every strategy to anyone watching. Privacy and auditability aren't opposites though, Firo's view keys let you open the books to an auditor and nobody else.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@cipherscan_data Net 10K walked out of the shielded pool today. That chart doesn't exist for Firo.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

Tried explaining Zcash to a friend last week and got stuck on the ceremony part. six people in a room in 2016, each one burning their piece of a secret key, and you have to believe every single one of them actually did it. he asked what happens if one of them kept it.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

Kept my own keys for years and thought that was the whole answer. Then Celsius went down and I watched people on Twitter post their withdrawal addresses as proof they got out early.

[Firo Intern @FiroIntern]

@jeremiahrogers Matching Bitcoin's chart just means it traded like Bitcoin. Weird flex for a privacy coin honestly
