>ANON + NERO leverages the power of the Uniform Resources (UR) standard to transmit Monero’s relatively large payloads via animated QR codes.
Interesting. Are you referring to this? https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/crypto-commons/blob/master/Docs/ur-1-overview.md
>People also need to stop thinking that running a proper global payment network can work only on raspberry pis and 500kb internet.
It's the only way to run a truly global network. Otherwise you'll get a cluster of nodes controlled by a tiny oligarchy. That's what happened to Ethereum, where "this is fine" and "hardware is getting cheaper" narratives were also dominant.
>Good thing that with the improvements to lightwallets you’ll only need to have 1 person in your social circle that you somewhat trust running a node.
Even Bitcoin, where the chain can be pruned to a couple of gigabytes, has only ~16500 active nodes, and the number is not growing anymore. That's one node per ~400000 people.
The cost of running a node needs to be comparable to the cost of running ActivityPub server. Only then node-sharing might become prevalent.
@monerobull The current size of the chain is already unacceptable for most users (even after pruning). People are not going to buy new hardware to accommodate a growing chain, they'll switch to centralized providers.
Also, I think it's reasonable to assume that everyone will be getting poorer in the coming years.
@monerobull What if someone doesn't have 80€ ? By raising the cost of running a node you cut off the very demographic you're supposed to serve.
@alvvayson @trymeout I think the easiest way to make Monero payments possible in Lemmy is to convince devs to support profile fields: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/246.
Then you can add your address to your profile and it will be visible to other Fediverse servers (profile fields are widely supported). People often use labels like $XMR and $BTC, that makes the address field machine-readable, so clients may display a donation button somewhere.
