DeltaChat and ArcaneChat (Fork)

According to the DC devs, it's dirt cheap to run Chatmail servers :)

The Sesh Token wasn't for them, it was meant as a reward for the community for running nodes, even if you don't believe in Sesh you can trade it for something more valuable

SimpleX is doing something similar with Ethereum (similar here in technical terms means not so similar at all)

 

Indeed from outside STF seem like a pretty strong foundation with a plan lied out and everything, but the reality says a different story.. Session is on life support

Session is asking for a community investment of 1million dollars, which i would say is alot considering the short period of time they have left, but not alot considering the size of operations that they have

the STF has received approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date, some team members will continue on a primarily volunteer basis to help maintain Session until July 8, 2026.

If the fundraising is successful, the foundation would be able to continue active development of Session, including launching Session Pro and Session Protocol v2.

If it is unsuccessful, the lack of funding would mean the foundation is not able to support Session in any capacity and will need to be shut down. As a result, Session would be removed from the app stores, and critical infrastructure like the Session file server, push notification server and seed nodes will go offline.

Session plans to donate the rest of the money to the EFF in case this fundraising campaign turns out to be unsuccessful

We also want to assure you that if the STF is unable to secure funding sufficient enough to meet its goals within the next 90 days, any donations that cannot be used in accordance with the STF's constitution will be publicly donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Also note that Retoswap is the only decentralized XMR exchange afaik, so at least the buying of XMR nearly always requires KYC.

why are you spreading misinformation?

Also note that XMR donations cannot be tax reducted

It's peer to peer, that's not a collateral damage.. It's a good thing

I'm curious what do you think would have happened if XMR was used instead?

shame :( I like Fedora...(It's what I use) these surveillance laws are helping me pick my OS, so that's the bright side

Can someone tell this Dylan M. Taylor guy (who's also in favor of Google's locking down Android btw), that the code he's pushing is unethical regardless of how private the implementation is?

kids can drown in the beach, you don't age-gate the beach!!

besides, any form of personal information, ANY.. is discriminatory

Edit: I know he's going from repo to repo merging age verification code (Ubuntu, Arch, Systemd!!)

Also, speaking of Systemd (and Freedesktop and Flatpak btw), why the hell are they complying!!!

they're NOT operating systems, they're components, alone cannot be used in any meaningful way.. I have a lot of theories, including conspiracy ones.. but I'd like to hear yours

Can you clear Nazis out of a Nazi bar? Yes

No. if it clears the Nazis it then has the ability to clear the Anti-Nazis, you can't always have your cake and eat it

Bitcoin is POW and gives no value in return

says who?

Etherium is better imo too but still no privacy.

ETH is a centralized mess, It's non government CBDC basically

The main problem with monero is that running a pruned node needs like 80Gb of storage.

Yes, small price to pay if you want true privacy

Grin/Mimblewimble might also be cool but I haven't looked into it too much yet.

I haven't looked into it much either, just learned it from you, it does look promising, take a look at ARRR, the problem with all these privacy focused coins is lack of adoption and they get delisted off exchanges due to government regulations

so you admit it's worth something, interesting!

[–] leviathan@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

separated things yes, but intertwined. unless someone is broken

 

It's really sad to see SimpleX goes the shitcoin route to try and fund their project, Ethereum is not ethical as I briefly explained in this post

Now is a perfect opportunity to fork the project with I2P and add Monero as the payment option both for people to transact and fund the developers and I2P operators
