It’s really sad to see SimpleX goes the shitcoin route to try and fund their project, Ethereum is not ethical as I briefly explained in this post

Now is a perfect opportunity to fork the project with I2P and add Monero as the payment option both for people to transact and fund the developers and I2P operators

      Its a great way to buy vpns/seedboxes/burner VoIP lines/anon SMS 2factor servcies/hosting/hrt/drugs and take anon donations.

      Its not how I’m going to pay my roommate to get her back for a bill or something. Especially when its already attached to another transaction that’s related to me or my close friends by whatever card they used to pay the bill.

      Even if I did, I could send them a qr or text of a wallet RX address. Copy/Paste already exists. You don’t need to integrate crypto into it.

        I mean you cannot fit Monero in the same bucket as the rest of the cryptocurrencies. No foundation, no company, no VCs, no pre-mined, CPU-based PoW, no major on/off ramp accepting it but still a strong currency with real usage outside speculation made by a community of builders. Can be life saving for some high risks profiles and honestly is the complete opposite of the cryptocurrency market, I’m thankful it exists.
