      Keep mining and remember the Bitcoin will have to go somewhere when that gets banned…which it will because it can

    The forever boot on humanity wins again… Thanks for your service (never used them, don’t even know what monero actually)

    We are a reputable trader on there -> https://agoradesk.com/user/geterdone

    and we have decided to build an I2P and Tor replacement. We have not slept since they made the announcement so we can get it up and running as fast as possible for the community. We are currently on the Matrix chat if you want to reach out to us for any questions, etc. -> @geterdone:matrix.org

    We would have posted this elsewhere but, literally the only places you can post are constantly blocked. You can tell this very quickly like what happened when localmonero announced on reddit.com/r/monero they had 38 messages but only 15 showed. The fight for privacy is becoming a war and the battlefield is open.

        If they collect no fees, run no servers of any kind and just write and publish software I don’t see how they can be held liable for anything.

            Well, then they’d better drop the project and let it be forked and continued by a team of anonymous developers wink wink. Or ditch the fees.

            I dunno. It’s still peer to peer, there’s no coordination and no service being provided. I know, I’m living in a world that no longer exists, one where the rules matter and are clear. I don’t doubt for a second that some day the government will try to jail these guys. Even if they do everything right, collect no fees, run no nodes, have no connection to the project other than having wrote the code, the government will come after them. I think we all need to accept this fact, that it’s not about the rules, it’s about power, and that when you threaten power it will try to destroy you, and we need to start hosting code on Tor and publishing and contributing anonymously.

      These clowns do not know what crypto is, they are puppets put in place to protect the banker monopoly.

    Did not see that coming. Wish they would stick around until the DEX’s are fully mature.

    This is heartbreaking news. LocalMonero enabled anyone capable of navigating Ebay to convert XMR.

    Thank you, Alex & the team, for all those years of providing what is probably the best Monero-service of all.

        Forced retirement is what I’m wondering, since they’ve seen others who “enable the use of privacy coins” get arrested in the freest country in the world.

          @beeng IANAL, but I’m pretty sure that “enabling the use of privacy coins” has not been the charge in any US case.

          “Money Laundering” is the charge.

          And this is why WE NEED DEXES, and why I do what I can to support my preferred project (Haveno)
