Soy protein is not equal to animal protein. I don't buy the redmeat fear mongering anyway but soy is not a complete protein for human needs. Soy advocates will say it's resemblance to estrogen is not important but I remain skeptical.

I've never used name cheap for hosting before but as long as you have a shell you can probably get node running and start hacking at your project. You can probably also do the development locally (I find this to be faster) without having to pay for hosting until you have a working program.

True although honestly I think maybe too much focus on trade and not enough on local sustainability is not the best way to run an economy. I think for example it would be Mich smarter and cost effective to use the coal that's here instead of destroying farm land to make solar farms. The cost of building these farms is enormous, and while I think it's privately owned the state gives businesses tax breaks to setup shop. It wouldn't make economic sense to do this otherwise.
Much of the economy is fake. It's cheaper to buy produce grown in Mexico than a local producer because of subsidies which disincentivizes production. Then everyone scratches their heads on why the locals are poor.

By libraries do you mean node modules or system libraries? You can install individual node modules using npm from the working directory of your project. Npm init will create a package.json file and you can use the --save option to write the dependency to your package file when installing new modules. You can't pull dependencies from within a REPL if that's what you were asking

We have farms, but not as many of the big industrial scale farms. To me that's a good thing. If you drive out about 3 hours from here the mountain farms look really cool. I've seen cattle on some pretty steep hills.
Where I live we had a factory in town growing up, but they left. Now there is a new factory being built or has been built but further out of the way.

Reminder: In 2022 all cryptocurrencies took a hit in value, but XMR outperformed BTC by nearly 100%. This means that if you held an equal amount of bitcoin and xmr at the beginning of 2022, your xmr doubled in value while your bitcoin stayed still (if we ignore the almighty dollar). I don't chase lines myself, but if you were a line chaser, xmr's lines are projecting a stronger future

agree with you in principle. I just think in reality we have to acknowledge that chain analysis exists and is used to freeze accounts.

> "Today, money laundering was detected and stolen funds linked to North Korea were frozen, in real-time. As an industry we have the power and responsibility to prevent digital assets from becoming a haven for money launderers and sanctions evaders, and ensure that they are a force for good," Elliptic CEO Simone Maini said in a Tuesday post.
In this case it's big bad north Korea, but the same tech can be used against any target.

"traceability" is built into bitcoin. It requires effort with physical assets. With current technology that effort requirement is too great for it to be useful with monero.

2023-02-19 10:39:37

- reply

I think maybe the breakdown is between what happens in reality vs what the code says. In the code yes a sat is a sat, and generally this is how most people look at it. However in reality chain analysis makes it a lot easier to follow sats than physical dollars in spite of the literal serial number printed on them which if used would make the dollar not fungible.
It is possibble to "wash" your sats so to speak, but this activity is also visible (it just detaches you from that activity [hopefully]). Laundering money is also something that can get you in a bit of trouble if you become interesting to government. While I'm not saying we should follow laws just for the sake of following laws, I do think maintaining a certain level of plausible deniability is important, especially if you think that your activities might be interesting to the state for one reason or another (taxes, illegal activity, whatever).

Hardly. I never said I won't do things the gubment doesn't like, I just think why paint a target on your back for when they decide something you are doing is no longer acceptable. With XMR, even if they ban it they will have a hell of a time tracking everyone down using it. There is a bill going through our government right now to try and define everyone who maintains custody of their own keys as a financial institution who would be held to KYC laws and the like. Does that mean if they push it through and it becomes law, I am going to suddenly start asking for drivers licenses from people I transact with? Not likely, but why even make it possible for someone to know I transacted in the first place?

It's also not one company. It's every normie inclusive onramp to cryptocurrency, governments, and any other interested 3rd party that can analyze the chain.

2023-02-19 01:10:54

- reply

I think the difference is the likelihood that it can realistically be traced and the fact that chain analysis is largely automatic. Even if they made a law that said all bills must be tracked there would be businesses and individuals that failed to comply and that would create gaps.

2023-02-19 01:04:24

- reply

The difference is that serials aren't generally tracked in each transaction which allows gaps to exist.

2023-02-19 01:02:50

- reply

I can accept that serialized bills aren't really fungible but in practice the tracking isn't done. If a drug dealer buys a pack of cigarettes at the corner store with a 20 they got from a junky there is no proving it. The laws are constructed such that when you get caught with both drugs and money they assume the money is drug money unless you can prove otherwise. If it were the case that drug money wasn't fungible then they'd track down the previous owners of any confiscated currency.

2023-02-18 23:55:03

The fungibility of cash relies on the expectation that serial numbers largely aren't logged when money transfers ownership. Each bitcoin basically has a serial number and a transaction history attached to it. There are no unmarked bills.

My point was simply that the verifiability of the world supply isn't what ended it's reign as a currency. some 40 or 50 years where it was illegal to hold let the generations who were famliar with using it as a currency die off.
