Have you guys considered doing anything to try and get the monero.org domain?
-
endor00[m]
Was that the one owned by a domain squatter askinf for 10k xmr?
-
yanmaani
something like that yeah
-
yanmaani
either pay a few thousand bucks and do UDRP, or just sue him in American court for trademark infringement and bank on him not showing up
-
xmrmatterbridge
-
lza_menace[m]
What a tool
-
yanmaani
just sue him lol
-
yanmaani
It costs a few hundred dollars to file a lawsuit. Either he'll have to give up the domain or drop anonymity.
-
yanmaani
You do not need to have a waterproof claim, just anything which passes the sniff test
-
yanmaani
"Hi I am a Monero developer and I have been using the mark to identify Monero software and also merchandise, it is a common law trademark, we have our things on getmonero.org, we would like to have your domain". It passes the sniff test. Pay a lawyer to write out the actual complaint, file it in a local court, hire someone to try to send him emails. Either he gives up or doxes himself.

hey guys, we're in a bit of a pickle. we're trying to work out the right way to get XMR in edge app on mobile, but it seems there is some gates to go through. we are trying to get currency in there to convert to FIO and pay that fee, but struggling. if anyone can help us out on some tips, much appreciated
-
selsta
FIO ?
-
bec8it
FIO address is required within Edge app to get the XMR receiving wallet address
-
bec8it
we are unable to convert USDC to FIO
-
selsta
what does FIO even mean?
-
flaccid
its a currency
-
selsta
ok
-
selsta
so Edge currently only supports Monero on desktop?
-
flaccid
selsta i don't belive they have web version, just mobile
-
selsta
ah I get the problem now I think
-
selsta
you have the Edge app and want monero?
-
selsta
I’m not familiar with Edge and their exchange but you can use e.g.
morphtoken.com to convert existing crypto to monero
-
endor00[m]
<yanmaani "It costs a few hundred dollars t"> You are assuming that this guy operates under USA's jurisdiction
-
artefact
i don't think it's that much of an issue. nobody's hand typing addresses in their uri bar nowadays
-
artefact
if they start hosting a malicious site that pretends to be official, that's much worse
-
yanmaani
endor00[m]: No, you can just sue him in a US court
-
yanmaani
And serve him process
-
yanmaani
Then you just contact the domain registrar and ahve them pull it, or his hosting provider, or whatever

"Either he'll have to give up the domain or drop anonymity." is pretty shitty though. Fine in that case since it's a blackmailer but I mean in general.
-
zib
i'll do mine xmr.se for far less if someone wants it :P
-
yanmaani
moneromooo: That's the court system for you
-
yanmaani
you can do that to literally any anonymous person on the Internet
-
artefact
even if the gTLD is not operated by a us company?
-
zsrqvq
which is the best and most immediate way to buy monero
-
zsrqvq
i have bitcoin
-
zsrqvq
no exchange please
-
moneromooo
Define "no exchange". Would something like morphtoken qualify as exchange ?
-
zsrqvq
morphtoken? i dont know what is
-
zsrqvq
most easy i think is person to person
-
zsrqvq
with cash
-
moneromooo
If you find someone nearby enough.
-
moneromooo
localmonero.something IIRC.
-
zsrqvq
yes so no chance
-
zsrqvq
in my country no one
-
zsrqvq
i checked
-
moneromooo
Then lookup morphtoken. Otherwise, bisq, but a bit of a pita, so not immediate".
-
zsrqvq
yes bisq is hell with very good intensions but hell
-
yanmaani
zsrqvq: Isn't there #monero-markets?
-
artefact
no exchange? it's impossible. you can't just destroy xbt and create xmr out of thin air. you *have* to exchange it
-
zsrqvq
morphtoken
-
zsrqvq
thnx to moneromooo
-
zsrqvq
im checking
-
zsrqvq
best until now
-
zsrqvq
moneromooo morphtoken want to send small bitcoin 0.001 somewhere
-
zsrqvq
no warranty
-
zsrqvq
just i must trust
-
zsrqvq
ok is small amount
-
zsrqvq
but just send
-

is localcoinswap a fine place to buy/sell for fiat?
-
asymptotically
fling: haven't heard of them before, they list some scammy coins and have a referral program which is a red flag for me
-
fling
asymptotically: I need something to replace localbitcoin and localcryptos for me
-
asymptotically
there's localmonero.co. not sure what country you're in but there's a decent amount of users in the uk so it worked well for me

Russia!

nakedpon_
thank you!
-
nakedpon_
So... I've been giving away free Monero
-
nakedpon_
not to the likes of people in here
-
nakedpon_
to friends, family
-
nakedpon_
people with no awareness of crypto
-
nakedpon_
I'm trying to help get my own circle to have it, so we can use it for person-to-person transactions. And I think the best way to do that, is to start people off with some
-
nakedpon_
let them see how great it is. remove the mystery and the shroud of crypto
-
nakedpon_
is anyone doing something similar to this?
-
artefact
nope. all my immediate circle are absolutely clueless when it comes to technology of any kind
-
nakedpon_
cake wallet. It's the greatest thing.
-
nakedpon_
I just tell them to download it, send me their address
-
nakedpon_
boom. now they're like whoa this is cool
-
artefact
they're so innocent, they won't even let me install an ad blocker on their tablet
-
nakedpon_
lol
-
nakedpon_
I guess some people like their ads
-
lza_menace
nakedpon_: yes, i do the same. most of my family are interested but dont have the time or strong enough desire to research on their own. I help them install cakewallet and send them like $50
-
lza_menace
teach them the importance of saving the seed and trying to explain the basics
-
nakedpon_
lza_menace: yes exactly the same! I send them like 0.5 XMR
-
lza_menace
yep
-
lza_menace
idk how effective it is. but it's fun
-
nakedpon_
giving people a lecture first just doesn't seem to be a way that people understand
-
lza_menace
yeah
-
lza_menace
i send them money and then it kind of clicks
-
moneromooo
And the importance of privacy. How people don't value good health until they fall into ill health, not value freedom until they get imprisoned, not value free speech until muzzled, etc.
-
lza_menace
what will be cool in a couple years from now having them go back. "do you still have that seed?"
-
nakedpon_
moneromooo: that's usually the first thing I get into, after they get the wallet basics. It's something they don't care about until they have it. If they ask if it's funny money... I'm like okay if you don't want it I'll take it off your hands
-
nakedpon_
then they get that they suddenly value it
-
nakedpon_
I'm curious if we could be doing this in a more systematic way
-
nakedpon_
a little bit of monero scheming, if you will
-
lza_menace
eh
-
nakedpon_
lza_menace: yah
-
lza_menace
i dont care as much these days. i hardly pay attention to the seriousness of crypto these days
-
lza_menace
it requires a lot of time and attention
-
lza_menace
im having way more fun making memes and shitposting with the wownero group
-
lza_menace
d/these days$/
-
artefact
a lot of sh*tcoins for sure. i feel like xmr is the only one worth a damn because it has non optional privacy
-
lza_menace
haven't spent even a minute "researching" defi or any of this new shit
-
lza_menace
sticking with the classics
-
islanders
I like defi
-
islanders
do you guys like it?
-
yanmaani
no, fraud
-
Inge-
It just looks like convoluted pyramid schemes to me
-
lza_menace
same
-
artefact
can't even find its official website
