BCH and BTC are two different currencies with two different ways to handling payments. I use BTC in my daily life and have no issue using it as a currency. Even without the Lightning Network I am still able to use it as my daily currency since merchants in my area are okay with 1 conf transactions. One did not hijack the other, it was just a disagreement of two different kind if views that blossomed two different currencies. Also Bankers didn’t pump Bitcoin, it was just open hype during the pandemic and it followed suit once more people understood how the concept of Bitcoin worked. It could have happened to BCH if it was in the same spotlight.

They are both electronic cash systems that use two fundamentally different approaches. If someone took over 51% of the hashrate then that’s someone hijacking the network. If you fork off of it, it becomes a separate currency based on the concept of Bitcoin. I am also very weary of Roger Ver, so we can’t take his word for gospel just like we can’t take Adam backs or Jameson Lopps word.

Also there is no one true “Bitcoin” there are different types of currencies built upon the concept of Bitcoin.

Yep Cancun Cruz loves to act like foreskin and disappears when things get hard.

There wasn’t a Hijacking though, there was a split and both became two different currencies. But it seems like it has the same issues as Bitcoin as well.

Well I’m glad you were able to get some good swaps. I’m not a scammer haha, I’m just trying to build new P2P relationships in the Monero space. I appreciate you replying to me, I will check out the exchange you recommended.

Kaspa isn’t VC funded though, it had a fair launch and there were no coins preallocated to anyone. It is proof of work and requires to be mined.

Honestly I love this idea and I might make one similar with other cryptocurrencies. That’s sweet of you for doing this for your kiddo.

Hey if you’re still needing some XMR, I can see if I can sell you some for some Litecoin. I want to build my Litecoin position, but I don’t have the mining equipment for it yet. Also Retoswap, and Bisq, and Eigenwallet are really good options. (Eigen wallet doesn’t support Litecoin sadly)

I am curious on how the miners will be paid once the subsidies are complete since the transaction fees are so low. I’m learning more about BCH and I want to see if it’s worth me providing hashrate for the network.

Have you checked out Kaspa? It’s a pretty good option too once the L2 for Smart contracts is more mature. Its also POW and it had a fair launch like BCH, and BTC.

Howdy! If you still need help with anything.  Monero, I can try my best to help. I’ve been in the space for a while, so I know a few things. But I do not know everything ha. ha, so lmk if you still need any help.

If you are Bitcoin only I recommend building a SeedSigner from scratch and using Nunchuk as the interface for the wallet. They’re both open source and have been thoroughly vetted. Don’t keep your entire stack on Tails on a Hot wallet as there could be a point to where you can accidentally catch something on said instance of Tails and have your funds taken. (Highly improbable, but the risk is still there)

As for the Ledger recover stuff, I personally have vetted it and checked a couple of things to see if it’s truly something to worry about. So from how it works is that it creates shards that require approval from your hardware wallet that only is in effect if you build said sharding and export. Then it will send your shards through E2EE methods to said partners of which they can’t reconstruct your key without needing the core to unlock your wallet. Of which you must approve through ledger recover on either their app or custodial service. They cannot remotely break your keys into shards without permission since it requires the secure element to activate and have your manually approve it for it go through. With all that said it is wise to use multiple hardware wallet vendors to minimize risk when you’re storing your keys. You could always go for air gapped solutions if you want to use hardware wallets without the keys being stored on them.

Thank you so much! I’ll be playing on the Switch so wish me luck on my journey. I’ll keep all your advice in mind friend!

I’m wanting to play Outward, any tips for a survival newbie?

That is understandable, talking to the operators and getting spec info from them is a way to verify. I know it’s tedious, but it’s worth it.

Ahh well you could always join someone else’s server and communicate through them honestly.

What was the company’s name? I would like to dig deeper into Threema so I can communicate with folks that use it about these changes.

XMPP is a good alternative and a good client to use would be monocles. Let me see if I can find my link archive to XMPP info and I’ll share it with you.

Yeah, it’s hard to believe companies now. That’s why I’m building a XMPP server/service to help people move off of centralized services.

Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind and I’ll learn more to teach others about it!
