@torproject I know you always need more funding and support, but this is not the way.Associating with ponzi-grifters just delegitimizes your project. And makes me want to stop running my TOR nodes.Rethink this. Youβre better than that.

@amolith @torproject I admire you.This is my one argument with you:Who cares.Tor needing funding is far more important than quibbling about how tor gets funding.To me your concern is like complaining about the optics of the homeless collecting cans for redemption. Utterly ignoring why the homeless are collecting cans in the first place.None of us are so precious as to look down our nose at funding sources. You give so I admire you for that. But I am giving you the honest criticism that tut tutting the source seems like quibbling.

@accretionist @amolith @torproject > None of us are so precious as to look down our nose at funding sources.Some, though, stand by their principles and say that there are in fact sources that they won't accept funding from.Reputation is important, particularly when seeking funding. What impact will there be on future funding when the name "Tor" ends up being associated with "rug-pull-scamcoin" or similar?

@thecyberd3m0n @accretionist @amolith @torproject You mean the credit card, issued by a provider who'll reverse/refund problematic transactions (admittedly, subject to some caveats) and who's agreement and behaviour with me is governed by strong regulations (like Section 75)?Yes. It'd be better to use my credit card for *most* stuff.For many, the immutability of crypto transactions is a bug, not a feature.

@thecyberd3m0n @accretionist @amolith @torproject You're almost certainly correct that gitcoin aren't a scam (time will tell).But, they exist within an industry that is characterised by scams (or, at least, failures that tend to lead to "users" losing a lot). At a certain point, it just doesn't seem worth figuring out which outfit is genuine and which isn't.

@ben @accretionist @amolith @torproject well, don't invest, or invest it only on trusted projects, or just use it by occassion (don't hold at all). That will minimize your risk almost to 0.It's not hurt to teach yourself how to use Binance/Metamask/Trust Wallet quickly and safely.I also rarely "holding" crypto and perceive myself more like "crypto-user" than "crypto-investor"

@thecyberd3m0n @accretionist @amolith @torproject I completely agree. Unfortunately, trust in Silicon Valley Crypto startups is also *very much* an unresolved issue.The question, really, is whether it'll ever be resolved - will that behaviour/association destroy it, or will something emerge from the ashes.Either way, there's a ton of opportunity for me to invest/donate without needing to touch crypto at all, so why take the risk?

I don't see any upside to using it

@thecyberd3m0n @amolith @torproject In that scenario, having money in crypto doesn't really help, because they've still got the option to seize *you*. Crypto all you want, rubber-hose cryptography will still win the fight.Plus, for your crypto to be of any use you need to be able to spend it locally. Which currently likely means an exchange.The socio-economic factors that allow bad banks are also perfectly capable of tainting any localised point of access.

@jplebreton @torproject while your overall point is true in 99.999% of cases, I feel compelled to point out that Tor's DDOS protection mechanism only exists because of work done by the Monero Project. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/proposals/327-pow-over-intro.txtWe invented the PoW algorithm and a Monero developer customized it for use by Tor. Without our work there would not have been any viable solution.More background: https://web.archive.org/web/20220212131605/https://www.monerooutreach.org/stories/RandomX.html

@hyc Thanks, I see. Good job!By the way I am glad to find you here, it has bothered me a lot that Monero folks seem so attached to Twitter (or whatever its name is now). That is a centralized platform and being dependent on that seems to go against everything that Monero is about, I mean censorship resistance and so on. Relying so much on Twitter means being vulnerable to censorship. Same with Github.Are there others from the Monero crowd here (in the fediverse)?@jplebreton @torproject
