I think it also bans any payment gateway from accepting it so businesses who want to support it will have to accept it directly, but even if that's the case all you have to do is swap xmr -> btc to a new wallet and pay with that.

X fucking D, good luck. eu will collapse by the hands of Europeans or immigrants before the midpoint of this century, they can't even keep up the appearances of democracy anymore. Everyday more and more people are waking up to their bs. You can only push people so far before they stop complying. They can't kill monero, most they can do is push it underground but that will only make it stronger. Since the dawn of history people have killed, died and sacrificed everything for freedom and putting a surveillance brick in their pockets or a propaganda box on their wall is not gonna change that, and since monero is the money of freedom everyone who wants to be free will follow it, rejecting the tyranny of the self proclaimed elites. Once the cryptowar 2.0 is won, and we will win it as we did before, there will largely no longer be a need for a centralized power or authority in our monetary, property, identity or even legal system and the need for a government - the tool of choice of the psychopaths and tyrants will go with it.

Idk much about the CEO, the only reason why I mentioned him was to highlight that imo when it comes to brave people on lemmy judge the person not the product, and the product is good. I see no reason to dismiss it just because 1 guy (who probably haven't even touched it) out of 100s of employees did something that doesn't align with my morals. As far as I know brave makes money from it's ad program, bat value and other non browser services; VPN and premium versions of its search, llm, and talk. It doesn't have "the firefox deal" so as long as you disable brave ads and don't directly give them money there is no ethical conundrum regarding supporting a bad person.

You can store files in a keepassXC database.

Imo they should have kept the ipv4 format but instead of maxing out at 255.255.255.255 make it 65535.65535.65535.65535 this aproach makes the address pool more than 4000000000 times larger and is backward compatible with ipv4 so it could be a drop in replacement for most things. And if we ever do end up running out of over quintilion (18446744073709551616) ips we can just keep going up, to 4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.

All the shortening rules trip me up. I'd much rather work with addresses with standardized number of hextets and ideally the same number of digits than not have to type a few zeros.

all of these are the same address: 2041:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:0001::875B:131B 2041:0:0001::875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0:1::875B:131B 2041:0:1:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:01:000:00:0:875B:131B 2041:00:1::0:875B:131B

You told them after getting banned so either they saw you were torrenting or gave you a bs explanation and banned you just for your data usage.

Sure, they say that they monitor bandwidth usage but how do they know it was used for torrenting.

What's concerning to me is, how do they know what you use their services for if supposedly they don't keep any logs. https://windscribe.com/privacy/ https://windscribe.com/features/no-identifying-logs/
