SimpleX Server Payments: Will XMR be a default? - eviltoast

SimpleX will be integrating payments to the server operators to provide incentives to decentralize the network. He’s using a voucher blockchain system, but that’s what the customer gets. The question is what the customer pays.

Can the customer pay in Monero included in the self-host default packages, or will operators have to provide their own XMR infrastructure? This is a big deal. These are the types of questions you can ask directly at tomorrow (or tonight if you live in asia)’s event.

The SimpleX dev is dropping by Simplified Privacy’s chat to answer community questions. Consider showing up to show Monero love and sway his mind to natively support it with his vendor package bundles.

    All humans are partially guided by feelings. Commies need privacy too. Demonizing others so shallowly often does very little other than create a false sense of security and unity

    Never give up on true solidarity folks! We need it now more than ever before

      for sure, I hope commies start using Monero, but reasoning with them is not possible

        You are reasoning with one in this very comment thread comrade! There are allies everywhere when we begin to see through the illusory divisions of old. I promise you we bleed the same blood and long for the same peace

          nice, I hope they realize their whole ideology was founded by bankers and everything they fight for actually strengthens banker owned state centralized power and oppresses every individual

          it is usually the young and naive that fall for communism, then after 5 or so years they realize they have been duped and enter the real world of no “free stuff”

            @tisktisk@monero.town @tusker@monero.town you don’t have to pick a side, that’s the biggest trap of the system.

            You don’t have to pick the left or the right or the communists or whatever term or ideology/religion they throw at you. Remember, they need you to pick any side so you get involved in the system and act according to what the thing you picked tells you to.

            If someone has fallen for this trap, that doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means they fell for the trap so usually they push that thing because they think it’s the right thing to do. Maybe someday they realize they fell for a trap the system put there, then they will start to see things more clear and objectively. These people can be your friends tomorrow.

            I’m not sitting on a high horse, I’m guilty of fallen for this trap in the past as well. Even though I’m aware of this, I watch myself just in case.

              Agree. I also fell for it for about 3 months. The reason I hammer so hard on the communist deception is because a very large number of people have been duped by it. It has also been very destructive in recent history.

              This poison was injected into state owned indoctrination camps known as modern universities, any critical thinker would ask themselves “why would the system be teaching me an ideology designed to overthrow the system”.

              Their main trick was duping ideological youth for fighting to increase state power under the guise of helping the working class. What the students did not realize was that the international banks own the state. So basically they were duped into fighting for the ones raping the working class.

              I wholeheartedly agree with you nabio but I’d like to take your logic a bit further. Only because we are in desperate and complicated times where ‘not picking a side’ has become yet another position to be wrongly vilified. This is why I’m fully identifying as a commie in this thread to prove a point–that being we need true solidarity that stops diminishing others over nothingness.

              Disparaging against any sect over such delusions as “their whole ideology was founded by bankers” is completely nonsensical. A large majority of people admire Edward Snowden as a hero, and it’s not because he was an NSA intel contractor, but because he sacrificed his freedom and safety to speak out against the massive injustices he witnessed.

              Every political faction needs privacy the same. We need all of them on our team and attacking their past is never the right course of action.
