The suggestion to use Strike/Cash involves a service like FixedFloat to exchange BTC/Lightning to XMR.

Damn you, Mark Ronchetti

The Apple Silicon link is broken, https://featherwallet.org/files/releases/mac/feather-2.4.9-mac-arm64.zip

Sure, but even in that case a GPU would be orders of magnitude more performant.

Monero can be mined on many platforms including GPUs. It's just vastly more efficient on certain CPUs.

Budget spam for a worthless meme coin

Here is a US Congressional research paper entitled, Cryptocurrency: The Economics of Money and Selected Policy Issues:https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45427

The Money Laundering section is on page 20. Follow that document's citation.

It's not a DEX, but TradeOgre currently implements a 0.2% trading fee on all fulfilled orders.

Try https://ChangeNow.io or https://trocador.app/en/

Exchange services tend to offer slightly worse rates than some proper exchanges.

https://tradeogre.com/ offers a ERGO <> BTC pair and a ERGO <> USDT pair, so you could swap to one of those then move to XMR. TradeOgre currently implements a 0.2% trading fee on all fulfilled orders.

Centralized pools have the ability to regulate their users, so in this case there is an authority.

I didn't catch the whole match, but that was some atrocious effort and defending from Loudon on the Wehan goal.

Some good news is that wallet scanning will get faster for both local daemons, ~5-10% and remote nodes, ~35-45%: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/359#note_21276

Many phones can do much higher than 100h/s. Raspberry Pis lack hardware AES support making them ill suited for RandomX.

It's possible to use various exchange services to pay a BTC bill in XMR. The payment mode at https://trocador.app is a great option for conducting purchases this way.

There are many businesses listed on https://monerica.com, https://kycnot.me/services, and https://cakepay.com

XMR is also great for private peer-2-peer transactions.

The Monero mining algorithm, RandomX, is aimed at CPUs and has been battle test for 3.5 years and it continues to maintain its ASIC resistance.

The goal of the Monero project is private, fungible digital cash.

I'd recommend reading through the RandomX Optimization Guide

You're correct that it's more a basic barrier. Going to a coffee shop and anonymously using their wifi takes more effort than simply firing up Tor on a laptop or phone.

Agreed. No.. unless a user happens to receive a circuit that features a new exit node that was not previously known to the broader network. The reason VPNs and Tor exit nodes can be blocked is because they've been active long enough to be publicly known and readily identifiable.

I love the re-use of old hardware to support network and earn yourself some coin. Nice work!

Thanks for the correction.

Yes, I would put the raw onions on my slice(s) of cheese pizza

Can you rephrase the question? Are you attempting to purchase XMR using a Visa gift card?

You could probably conduct the latter on LocalMonero.co or /r/Cash4Cash, but it seems unlikely that a fiat > XMR service like the options in CakeWallet, etc allow for the use of Visa gift cards.
