If you use the same wallet for multiple transactions, you create a forensically-discocerable trail. It doesn’t give any information in and of itself, but can be used to determine frequency of use, which can be used to trace you. This is, like very basic opsec, just in terms of what you should and shouldn’t trust. That’s what I’m saying here, and you’re missing it because you want to defend a coin that you
didn’t even say that [you] use ?

Heyheyhey, I’m not fighting with you here. You use Monero or not, I’m going to be sticking with cash and trade.

Oay, so what I literally said was:
The problem with that is, in many cases, being highly educated probably means you came from money, which usually translates to some of the worst people we could possibly be sending.
See how I used words like “probably”, “usually”, and “worst”? That’s because I wasn’t making a blanket statement that “all of the highly educated people are bad”, I’m saying that amongst the highly educated are the very worst of people. That’s a really important distinction.

It’s not literally untraceable (unless you mean figuritively literally) it’s just effectively untraceable.
Also important to note that your transaction is essentially as private as you are, which assume that the user is taking precautions to not broadcast to the world what website they are going to and at what time and for what. So obviously the biggest flaw is still user behavior (using a sketchy exchange, using the same Monero wallet for multiple transactions, connecting your Monero wallet to another non-private wallet, and leaking metadata outside of the block chain are all things that can and do happen and make this not literally untraceable.
But yes, it gets about as close as you can.
Another heuristic examined in the study is the Coinbase output heuristic. This method identifies mining-related outputs in transaction rings and assumes that these outputs are less likely to be actual spends. Since regular users rarely mine Monero, researchers can often use this strategy to eliminate decoys. While it’s not a foolproof method, when combined with other techniques, it can sometimes improve traceability in investigations.

Ohh, nononono. You made a fatal assumption that the worst people are the ONLY bad people, and obviously that’s not true. The state is actively borking education because it needs to maintain its supply of sycophants.

It’s the only one. There is no way to send digital payments that is privacy focused.

Me too. It gives me hope that they’re supporting more and more radical candidates, though.

Ohh, a few years ago there was a series of (verified) SA and harassment allegations levied at some of the national leadership, around the same time there was a pretty big controversy surrounding the misappropriation of funds donated my members and also membership dues, and for this reason the Libertarian Socialist Caucus largely dissolved and left the organization. It was a whole kerfuffle
- Comment on Me this morning 1 week ago:
I mean, yes, but the DSA has had a problematic and interesting history (I say this as a former member/member at large). And it’s important to remember that they’re not a political party and can run no candidates themselves (which would never work if they tried), so their best bet is to try to turn the DEEEPLY entreched liberal Democratic Party, which is like pulling teeth.

What is your thing against waiters? Do you believe that they contribute less to society than someone who has a PhD in sociology or some bs?

We have a federal program in the U.S. called Job Corps that does provide free technical training in a WIDE variety of trades, but it’s woefully underfunded these days, and not well known due to having a reputation as the sort of place wayward youth go to instead of juvenile hall, and you have to be between the ages of 16 and 24 at the time you start.
Free education isn’t really a thing here.
- Comment on Me this morning 1 week ago:
Because school is expensive and time-consuming and I’m already working full time to BARELY get by. I love school (well, I love learning, but it’s simply not an option for me at this point in my life. Obviously I’ve looked into it (and have a fair amount of student debt to prove that I’ve tried more than once), but I always have to make the choice between going to school or eating and paying rent, and I usually want to eat and have a place to live.

Name one that I can get tomorrow. Boring and unexciting but pays well and has benefits is exactly what I’m looking for. If there are plenty, where are they?
- Comment on Me this morning 1 week ago:
I can play 25 different instruments, record and produce music at a professional level, I can direct photography for a motion pictures, write television news copy, code in 5(ish) different languages, mill lumber from raw timber, gut and fillet SO MANY different types of fish, build structure out of earthen building material, I can wire photovoltaic panels in series or parallel and am familiar with both 13v and 24v system, and I can do pretty much anything to a car that doesn’t require a lift or a hoist.
But are any of those special without the little paper that says you can do them?

Medical Doctors sure, but c’mon. Education level is not indicative of any real life skill

My father grew up in (West) Germany, and I studied German as a child (Hallo! Ich bin MnemonicBump und ich komme aus America woher kommst du?, etc, etc), and I really wanted to move to Hamburg when I was a teen. But it turns out that your country doesn’t want an undereducated neurotic American, so alas, I’m stuck here.

- Comment on marble balls floating on water are nice sculptures. why doesn't the water squirt out like when you pinch a garden hose ? 2 weeks ago:
Bigger marble, bigger hose. It’s the same principle scaled up.
- Comment on marble balls floating on water are nice sculptures. why doesn't the water squirt out like when you pinch a garden hose ? 2 weeks ago:
If the water pressure was high enough to spray out, the ball would simply fly off. It’s the perfect equalization of the weight if the ball and the pressure of the water. You can do this yourself at home. Try this:
Find a marble that fits the opening of your garden hose perfectly. The hold you garden hose upright, place the marble on top (do NOT hold it in place), and begin turning the the valve until you reach the correct pressure. You’ll notice that without enough pressure, nothing happens at all, and with too much pressure, the marble will fly off the top of the house.
It’s a balancing act

- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 3 weeks ago:
INS was basically an entire different agency with an entirely different directive. That was also a time when our immigration system was bifricated. So there were, in fact, several agencies, who all had a specialized directive. DHS changed all of that. Not to mention the budget increases.
I grew up 200 feet from a HUGE Border Patrol station in southern California, and about half a mile from the Mexican border. Just because they weren’t coming into the city centers and making big show about it doesn’t mean that they were terrorizing people all over border regions for a loooong time. Murder, rape, racketeering, etc have all been extremely common, and they pretty frequently destroy water and food stashes that good samaritans have left for folks, which has led to uncountable deaths.
Source it? No. I’m not going to show you the last 20 years of federal legislation that removes your freedoms systematically. My point was that we are not in a better place now than we were then, and the place where we are now has everything to do with where we were then

- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 3 weeks ago:
Bt ICE was literally created by the Bush admin align with the rest of the DHS, and the Patriot Act wasn’t reversed so much as disseminated into earmarks attached to various spending bills so it’s actually even harder to get those freedoms back. Even our current immigration system is descended from Bush era policy, including the fucking wall.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but I only because people are afraid to admit that virtually every president has been an evil fucker. We have presidents that OWNED PEOPLE.

Of course she didn’t, but by continuing to associate with her abuser in a profusely positive way, and as a person who has pretty much always backed up all of the weird stuff about her that her father said, she is tacitly giving retroactive support and permission.
