Man, you really don’t like Graphene huh? I see you mention it a lot through comments and posts.
What is weird though is that you say in your other comments about how important it is to mention Lineage and others during discussion of privacy based mobile OS’s, and yet get all weird anytime anyone even mentions Graphene OS like it isn’t important to also talk about them, only the ones you like to push.
That kind if behavior makes me think anything you recommend is suspicious as fuck and I’m sure I’m not the only one noticing that.
so when you freeze your credit your credit score can’t go up either?
Paying things on time has no effect at that point then right?
And because of this it makes whatever they fuck with have unnecessary security issues.
Also though they are using it to straight up spy on you whether foreign or not. They got in “trouble” for it once and pinky swore not to do it again.
Fuck the NSA
But all this is assuming they want to convert it into another currency at all, I was thinking why not just use it in that form for international trade although some of the other comments have explained the dollar amount equivalent wouldn’t be able to exist right now due to mining limits.
But why not use a combination then of crypto, precious metals, and just straight up raw currency. I mean if chinas bank doesn’t want to accept it they could just ship a container with money in it directly to them right?
I mean criminal enterprises move BILLIONS all the time without banks so I don’t see how its so hard for two of the larger nations in the world.
Edit: I’m guessing the conversion into the Yuan would betheissue with sending them straight up cash huh?
See this was what I was really wondering. Some cryptp like Dogecoin and Monero have unlimited amounts that can be mined and while certainly not practical in my mind I was 100% thinking why not just mine a fuck ton of Doge or something and have it agreed upon that that is the international trade money.
I do see how converting it into a fiat currency would be problematic though but in that case wouldn’t gold or silver also he able to be utilized?
The points do make sense. But I mean at that point why not just use the crypto solely for international trade with other parties going the same thing?
Especially using the one that can’t be traced or tied back to any entity (Monero)
At that point it seems it would be trivial to convert into cash but also why would you have to if you could just use it between countries like that.
I mean I know people hatecrypto here but even they have to admit it seems like a better idea than getting no money through at all.
Lol well this depends on the crypto used and its hard to think that bank fees of any kind would be better than to just pay the fee to speed the transaction up.
Also, presumably they would use dummy wallets and not send amounts from their cold wallet with the full amount on it.
Idk, just seems like they deserve the trouble at this point if they can’t utilize the ways around it.
Not flexing. Its a way to make decentralized payments.
Why would they not utilize it more? I saw that Russia said they would and then they just keep talking about banks not accepting the cash.
Why would they not just use cryptpcurrency at this point?
Like, there is a solution right there. I don’t support either of their governments btw but I mean come on, the answer is right there
My electric company here in the us mines bitcoin with it and charges us a “peak time incentive” pricing model.
Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be born somewhere like Finland.
Never had a phone run as well with any other OS
Micro G has to run on the root level. If that isn’t a concern for you then Graphene OS probably doesn’t fit your needs.
You’d think they would it was amazing how that system specifically reached such a large audience. A lot of older people even liked it.
I will forever wonder why they just abandoned the whole idea after it had so much success.
Dude this opened up so many memories I loved this movie as a kid!!
I pay for proton mail and proton drive and still use Mullvad for my daily driver VPN.
Only time proton VPN is worth using is if you need the port forwarding like for gaming or something.
I definitely understand that but it is quite an important nuance of the topic to discuss especially considering the USA is threatening to ban Tik Tok for this reason and yet, allows all of its American companies to do the same.
I get whataboutism and all that but when it is directly being affected by the rest of the conversation I feel like its important that the information does get talked about.
Lol gotta love all those down votes you get for telling the truth.
Its this nice little thing in the US where they can end you as a company if you don’t comply.
So, no evidence that they have compelled Apple to do so but that little bit about how the US government can force a companies hand and force them not to talk about it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT true.
So, it isn’t like the dude is just pulling stuff out of his ass. Apple did used to have a warrant canary as well, and they don’t anymore. You should watch the interview with Lavabit’s creator and how the feds wanted to take over his shit and fake his SSL and he took them to court about it and still can’t talk about it due to the (undemocratic) gag order.
did you have the $45/month one or the $25?
