@WhiteWhaleLabs@AraRawr11 Fair question, but regarding tax evasion, who would be the criminal in this situation:
A government that demands 40% of your assets under threat of imprisonment, or a person who chooses not to pay?
We could argue XMR is used to defend against crime, not commit it.
@jonathan_h_w@XBToshi โBattle-testedโ is an interesting choice of words here. Monero has been used in various markets, attacked, and had bounties placed on it for anyone who could crack it over the years.
During that time Zcash mostly lay dormant.
@backdoorcreep As far as I know they want to be compliant with the traditional central government/banking system, which means there is no need for a circular economy (and not much need for the coin itself). Most of the holders seem to be paid shills or people looking for quick gains anyway.
@dyana1908 You see things like this a lot in Asia. During Covid, they used cute graphics to spread propaganda and get people to social distance or whatever. It can be very effective. Nice work ๐
Ladychans and Gentlechads, my magnum opus,
Monero --SuperPay-> for Mac is NOW AVAILABLE for download!
Hit the fuckin' streets and get your favorite stores and restaurants to use it! Monero needs real-world adoption, or we perish.
Leave your questions below and share any businesses that you onboard to Monero with SuperPay. Let's make this a SuperThread of real-world merchant adoption!!!

(might find some free $XMR somewhere in there ๐คซ)
We thought we were tracking the stablecoin freeze grid. We missed the incinerator.
An anon pointed out a data gap on https://t.co/7IulaUkdoW. We dug into the TRON and ETH smart contracts and found something brutal. Tether doesn't just freeze your funds; they actively seize and burn them (DestroyedBlackFunds). The on-chain balance shows $0, masking the actual seizure.
The massive data upgrade we just pushed:
๐น TRON: Bypassed the 500-event sync cap. Backfilled 6,104 AddedBlackList events.
๐น ETH: Fixed indexing pagination limits. Found 200+ hidden destruction events.
๐น Alert Bot: Fixed rate-limiting. Batch freezes are now summarized, no more spam.
๐ Before: $2.12B frozen across 5,865 addresses.
๐จ After: $3.23B across 9,462 addresses.
That missing $1.1 Billion gap? Mostly funds that were frozen, seized, and burned out of existence. We now track it all.
Huge shoutout to the anon who caught this.
This is why we build in public.
Don't trust, verify.

@maxiuluu I prefer poker over straight-up gambling, but both are fine. We actually had a Monero poker site going for a while, but it was a small operation with one guy in charge.
@LukeMikic21@TheStoicCoiner Monero's tail emission will issue a small number of new coins each year, roughly enough to make up for lost tokens/wallets. The net increase in usable supply might actually be close to 0. Not to mention it incentivizes miners for years to come.
@dialuplife@thefuzzstone It would be a pretty elaborate scam. Two businesses with addresses shared, where people can go verify that XMR is accepted, plus custom shirts, a guy who is active here and basically doxxed... all to scam us out of 4XMR?

@thefuzzstone Looks like 4 of us donated. I can understand why most XMR donations go to devs, but this is the other half of the mission! Boots on the ground generating real usage. Where I live this is years from happening, so I'm happy to throw a few bucks to those doing it elsewhere.
@21BitcoinMaxi@babysolo_ Dude... we are fully aware of how important demand is to making miners' rewards (and the coin at large) meaningful.
Take a breath... slow down ๐
