I use it for spending and to store value.

It is up more than 2x since the binance delisting last year and has outperformed Bitcoin, anyone saying Monero can't work as a store of value is wrong. Because it's so stable, it works even better. During this week's crash I was not very worried because I knew XMR is rising in price die to its utility, not from speculation, and this crash did not impact its utility in the slightest.

No, there are now 0% deposit offers. You currently need to figure out how to get in contact with a seller beforehand though, the next update will add contact information to the offers which will make them a lot more useful.

Looks scammy to me. Just use Haveno.

Negative. Every single one of them has some massive red flags that make them nonviable.

There has been a bunch of drama specifically about this CCS. Reto was censored because Kewbit believes I run it (lol) and wanted to "punish" me for demanding source code before CCS payout.

There is an open PR to raise this limit.

Currently there is no layman-friendly way of going XMR -> BTC with unstoppableswap so very few people actually provide liquidity in that direction and the fees they take are high because of it.

The Samourai atomic swaps GUI was on the right track to solve this with a XMR provider GUI but they got taken down just a few weeks after they released it.

If we get code out of this to easily set up such online token vending machines there is actually a lot of utility to be gained. People could use it for all sorts of stuff like NFT tickets or raffles or whatever:

Unless you have to use centralized sites like these for some reason, please use Haveno instead. Adopting the decentralized option now before Monero is banned everywhere is much better for the community than monkey-branching from centralized site to centralized site every time they delist Monero.

People could theoretically put their reto .onion onto their profile or sign it with their pgp key and then you can search for it in the client.

I have these plus some extra ones all in a wallet I'd be willing to part with for 5 XMR.

For me, https://haveno-reto.com has been working great so far.

I've wanted to get into 3d printing for a while now and have been checking out the prusa mk4 and the bambu lab x1.

The bambu looks amazing in all aspects besides repairability and offline printing, with the latter one looking like a real deal breaker. It seems like all the more advanced features need a connection to the cloud, which I really don't like.

On the other hand we have the prusa which seems to be running really rushed software still missing a lot of features that the hardware should be able to support and the price looks like way worse value compared to the stuff you get with the bambu. At least it's repairable and no cloud bullshit.

Should I just come back in a year and hope that the mk4 software has gotten better or the bambu doesn't require internet for all the cool stuff?

Edit: Just woke up and I want to thank everyone in this thread for the quality replies! I'll look into 3d modeling first and if the prusa doesn't anymore have janky alpha input shaping 2-3 months from now I'll go with that, otherwise I'll have to look for alternatives. Since I'd be running prints throughout the day while I'm not at home, I'd want something more reliable than an ender 3.

Edit 2: I just found out about the Bambu p1s, I might just get that one.

 

I’m currently looking at my Venmo feed. In an ideal world, I would see only a log of private payments I’ve made and received. Instead, I see a list of my friends’ business: someone paid a friend for “drinkies,” another for “rich bitch things.”

This is so terrible, I don't even know what to say about this.

I'd like to thank the insecure cloud instances for helping secure the network 🤭

Also:

Wiz could not attribute the PyLoose attacks to any particular threat actor, as the attacker left no useful evidence behind.

 

There are already 2TB SSDs available for less than 80€ and prices are expected to go even lower.

I agree with Artic Mine and believe storage is not going to be a problem for Monero and that the only real bottleneck is upload speed.

What do you think?

Apple will activate the controversial image scanning feature by default & let third party apps use its scanning API.
