Yeah, point is - just how thoroughly do they check if the info is fake? Like, you reveal a realistic name and a real address somewhere.

What about putting believable but fake info there?
Yeah, but the powerful, expensive exploits are not spent on average people - they’re for the important targets.
Because your actual threat is most likely passive government surveillance rather than targeted attacks?
Also the size. My “a” was already at the edge of being usable with one hand, while Pro is even bigger. Plus - the "a"s don’t have glass backs, unlike the Pro and even the normal ones.
My 7a being $300 was already very expensive for me. None of those prices are acceptable for a phone of all things.
At least in some places, having open wi-fi without KYC is illegal, so the neighbors aren’t going to do this - passwordless is not the default.
It was soon after Samourai arrests, so apparently the owners got scared of potential cryptocurrency crackdown and legal pressure. Its closure was pretty abrupt.
Localmonero died recently :( Haveno is the one that is taking its place.
I avoid KYC exchanges at all cost. I am less concerned about law enforcement in this case and much more about leaks.
Your supermarket accepts payments in cash, which is better anyway.
(I say as someone who pays for certain services in Monero)
In the case of GOS in particular, it is made ridiculously easy by the web installer though.
That’s why here, giving a student a laptop without supervision is unthinkable… Good if the school has computers at all anyway.
Correction. Briar is true p2p, while Simplex relies on servers - but said servers can be hosted by anyone and interoperate.
And effectively cannot be selfhosted.
The problem is actually further - it’s that they push people to use Signal on mobile.
In the official desktop client, there is no option to register (even though it would likely be not that hard to add a box accepting a verification code), they tell you to use it in the mobile app instead. All while far from all phones can have privacy-respecting OSes installed on them at all.
Yes, there are ways around (Signal-cli or an Android VM - and even then you have to use Molly since the official client requires you to scan a QR rather than following a link). But arbitrarily directing people to a platform that is harder to make private is nonetheless weird.
Or just a gray sim registered to a rando, at least here they’re still illegally sold. The ones on silent link are e-sims, afaik you’d have to enable google services to manage it.
Is using cash impossible in daily life instead? It is hard to imagine for me that a smartphone may be outright required for daily life…
Weird, conduit.rs links an entirely different Gitlab page - https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit, with the docs being at https://docs.conduit.rs/deploying/docker.html
You can at least swap to BTC from XMR. Although I avoid that because BTC has big fees.
