Hello everyone,
After a discussion on [email protected] ( https://feddit.org/post/6950586 ), a few people interested in privacy decided to reopen [email protected] as an alternative to [email protected] .
It’s also nice to have a privacy community on an instance that can be accessed via VPNs.
Feel free to join us there!
Not necessarily true for all ledgers, such as monero.

Monero users can and have been deanonymized by the police. Monero also acts as a de-facto tumbler, meaning by using it, you’re money laundering for criminals as a matter of course.
Necessarily true for Monero. Theirs is public too, freely available for anyone to download and analyze. The rest of your response did not refute this. An honest response might have been “transactions are public, but…” and you could have laid out your rebuttal, but denying a fact and following it up with irrelevant PR does not make me more confident in the project.
That, and the simple explanation that evangelizing Monero has a perverse incentive I hadn’t even considered (it benefits money launderers in addition to speculators) makes me trust it all the less.
I’m not trying to defend monero here, but the ability to have a conversation about such things.
