60+ PWD (monero.town)
 

If you use a password that has more than 60 characters, everything that exceeds these 60 characters is cut off by the Monero.Town UI. Without informing the user. I found this out by trial and error when logging in with my slightly longer password didn't work. I found no indication of what password criteria or limitations Monero.Town has.

In the previous Bitcoin lightning, payment channels had to be set up, managed and maintained, which was usually only accomplished by technically skilled individuals or companies. Often centralized and custodial. The system described here uses smart contracts, HTLCs, which can manage the Lightning system for everyone via intuitive user interfaces.

    P2P Economy

    • A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

    As we all know, Bitcoin, the origin of blockchain, is widely recognized as the most decentralized blockchain and the most valuable cryptocurrency. However, few people realize that in the Bitcoin whitepaper, Satoshi Nakamoto never mentioned “blockchain” nor “decentralization.” Instead, he used the term “peer-to-peer” (P2P), even placing it directly in the title — “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”

    A P2P service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other without a third-party intermediary. When we return to first principles and rethink what blockchain truly is, one straightforward explanation comes to mind — blockchain is essentially a P2P network.

    The truth is, what we refer to as “on-chain” is actually the consensus layer built on top of the P2P network. However, many business processes don’t need to be on-chain and rely on the consensus layer; they can be handled directly at the P2P network layer. For example, if Alice wants to pay Bob, the ideal way would be for Alice to send the money directly to Bob in a peer-to-peer manner rather than through unnecessary intermediaries (e.g., consensus validators or block producers). This approach is not only faster but also naturally provides privacy protection.

    Moreover, building applications at the P2P network layer avoids performance bottlenecks and high transaction fees, enabling the creation of truly useful applications that can achieve mass adoption.

    1. The P2P Economy addresses real-world problems with genuine user demand and practical application scenarios (e.g., P2P payment, decentralized storage). This has been thoroughly proven for years rather than being an imaginary need. It can truly create value rather than merely providing tools for speculation.

    2. In the P2P Economy, most business logic does not need to be on-chain, eliminating performance bottlenecks and transaction fee issues. As a result, the user experience is greatly improved, making mass adoption more likely.

    3. The P2P Economy uses stablecoin payments, making it easy for users to understand and convenient for participants to evaluate service costs and revenue. The use of stablecoins also weakens the speculative narrative of token issuance.

    So please don’t lump crypto (esp. Monero) users as a single kind of people.

    I was expecting childish reactions when I shared this post. But that doesn't matter, if only one user has benefited from it, it was well worth it.

    Only two days and we already have at least two new servers:

    SimpleX is a private encrypted messenger that creates new identities for each conversation. However, as we pointed out in a previous video, when you first install the app, it’s all the developer’s own servers. This has metadata and centralization risks. We are here to help.

    SimplifiedPrivacy.com is a completely different firm than SimpleX (although we share the same first word). We just released a tutorial video with a self-host script for any Debian/Ubuntu VPS that you can use to easily self-host a SimpleX server: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/simplex/

    In the tutorial video, we taught how to use Kyun.host a Monero focused free speech provider in Romania that we recommend! However, you can use any provider.

    Here is the script on our self-hosted gitlab on Kyun with an Iceland domain: https://git.simplifiedprivacy.is/publicgroup/simplex-self-host/

    If you do not wish to self-host, you can add our SimpleX servers to your app for free:

    Reach out to us if you’d like our help to setup many OTHER services or complex configurations/support at SimplifiedPrivacy.com

    Even if not directly Monero-related, this draws attention to the community when such contributions come from here.

    In my eyes, you were a visionary with foresight and a gift for expressing yourself in the right way! For me, you were a beacon in the blockchain industry. As with a chancellor, the work doesn't stop when you no longer hold the post. On the contrary, it is more demanding, because you have to guide your successors and point out the paths you have taken. The reward comes when you only have to speak out on serious, big issues and can otherwise sit back and relax. All the best!
