      Nah, with the “transgender for everyone” option, I just get a trans girl who is capable of producing “gorl juice”.

      there is a lot to critizise about crypto currencies (especially those which require a lot of resources), and the cultures around them, but i firmely believe only someone who has the luxury to not need things from black/grey markets to live, could completely dismiss them. states and banks are not our friends. we cant rely on their systems.

        Yeah, and with the Trump admin eyeing with the possibility of banning porn, especially if they can get it through “impossibilization”, crypto might become the last remaining source of income for many. That’s why I changed my game engine’s stance on crypto, meaning you can use the branding material in games being paid by crypto as long as you:

        • don’t promote financial speculation with the game,
        • the game does not feature gambling,
        • no NFTs in any form, including copy protection or DLCs.

        It’s why I treat what happened to bitcoin more like a tragedy than a farce. There is a real need for a decentralized currency free from government influence in the modern world. It’s a real shame that techbros got to it first and turned it into a scam platform.

      You too huh? Sometimes you gotta use the funny money to buy the silly goose juice. Jokes aside if crypto was an actual anonymous decentralized currency it would be pretty cool.

        Monero is completely anonymous and private, decentralized though would have to depend on your definition. Some few exchanges offer monero, and for those you can just transfer them to a personal wallet, at which point they won’t have a clue what use that monero for, if that’s what you’re worried about.

            It’s pretty close. There was a Chainalysis slideshow presentation that was leaked a few years ago, where they are introducing to government employees their best available tools for tracking it (the video has since been largely scrubbed from much of the internet), where they walked through an example of how they deanonymized a drug cartel that was using Monero. This was portrayed as a rare and difficult feat; it was only possible because of a combination of the cartel using remote nodes operated as honeypots, their consistent use of centralized exchanges, and the large number of transactions Chainalysis had been able to separately confirm as being associated with them. The presentation otherwise emphasized how most of the time options are limited unless the person they’re targeting made mistakes unrelated to the theoretical security of Monero, like making transactions with timings and amounts that give them away or leaking their IP address.

            Eh the only people to claim to be able to de-anonymize transactions are three letter agencies that haven’t shown proof.

            If they have it they’re saving it for state level actors.
