>>102173525
Extremely short summary is a few major exchanges started delisting/watch tagging privacy coins due to the EU's MICA bullshit, a few coins complied in one way or another while others like XMR said fuck it we'll get delisted, focus on DEXs in future (afaik could be wrong on that detail) we're not going to compromise on our users anonymity at all which is based but has in turn lead to quite a few payment processors refusing XMR payments which is really just a damn shame.
>>
>>102173475
>or just fde with luks
No, stop talking since you got no clue. LUKS will give away that you got an encrypted partition and you have to enter that specific password. Veracrypt will give away you have an encrypted partition however, you can have a decoy partition you can enter and the feds won't know that the password you gave them was not for the correct partition.

>>102173476
>What you don't know about the delistings
Not XMR's fault and it handled them well in the past.
>fewer and fewer merchants/services accepting it through their payment gateways,
Fewer? No. There are not a lot but the number isn't decreasing. The only thing that took a hit is onramping due to the closure of localmonero but the mechanisms used on the site are still easily available.
>>
>>102173623
>There are not a lot but the number isn't decreasing.
I was affected with two hosts that forced me to swap XMR for something else first or switch to another privacy coin which funnily enough they still accept even today. Not a huge hurdle or anything but it isn't helping adoption either. I'm not hoping that XMR dies at all, the opposite in fact, but I think their stance while, as I said already, absolutely based might not have been the wisest decision from a pr standpoint. Maybe long term none of this will matter but right now it sucks.
>>
>>102173603
>Extremely short summary is a few major exchanges started delisting/watch tagging privacy coins due to the EU's MICA bullshit
Lol don't pretend like the biggest exchanges cared about XMR before that. They had paper deals before and that's well known.
>XMR said fuck it we'll get delisted,
Yes, because it's the entire point of the currency
>focus on DEXs in future (afaik could be wrong on that detail)
Has been in the works before and apparently right around the corner, which is why the admins behind localmonero closed down the site without a bad conscience
>in turn lead to quite a few payment processors refusing XMR payments
Like? All payment processors I heard about always refused XMR or are specifically built for XMR. Also you can still easily get gift cards.
>>
>>102173204

Not at all. VeraCrypt is known for having this feature so it will be obvious that you have hidden volume. Even worse if you don't have it, because you will not be able to prove it and you will be prosecuted for not disclosing password to volume which may not even exist.

It's better to use LUKS with detached header or plain dm-crypt. It's available on most Linux distributions so it doesn't look suspicious at all. With plain dm-crypt you can hide data on random offset and nobody will be able to prove that your flash drive wasn't just overwritten with random data.

Anon, the feds can estimate you have a hidden volume, as long as they can't prove it you're legally alright.
>>
>>102173714
>paper deals
Then why didn't Monero take off after Binance delisted it you copewad

And payment processors refuse Monero because it's annoying as fuck to accept payments in. Most merchants don't want to rent out a server, block storage, and diddle with BTCPay configs just to get Monero working, or scan the entire blockchain just to find one transaction.

you dont have the header so you cant prove presence of any information
since cryptography aims to make ciphertext seem 100% same as pure random

it is way better than your memecrypt malware
also you can unlock luks partitions from rom directly using coreboot with grub payload

so what if its public? there is no personal information associated therefore its anonymous
>>
>>102172749
It's all pointless if your operating system is not fully encrypted or it it's compromised or has backdoors or a hardware level. Use Qubes OS. Do a fresh install every few months or use Tails OS. Compartmentalize. Don't save data. Don't use your devices more than necessary. Have no secrets. Keep no records. Don't install unnecessary apps. Delete all social media. Use a VPN and Bitwarden. Always assume your devices could be compromised. Cover cameras. Don't have anything to hide.

Ah, just like with a hidden veracrypt volume, got it

>>102175272
>there is no personal information associated therefore its anonymous
It's easy to use data points to find out what connections you have. You can churn through millions of wallets, the feds will still see if it's connected to a wallet that's attached to you somehow. Sure, BTC could be anonymous if you constantly handle it with utmost care and there are never any leaks but then you massively reduce the amount of possible use cases. Meanwhile with XMR a wallet could have your name written all over it, the feds won't know how much went in, how much went out, incoming and outgoing sources etc.

if the data is encrypted using a weak cipher, it can still be distinguished from random data. also in the case fo a weak PRNG, which is just gameover then.

>>
>>102176559
>does nothing, if KPA exploits is found in one ae it will affect all, nice placebo
No, different algorithms work differently. If you got the master key for all regular door locks, you won't be able to use it for car locks. So an exploit in one algorithm won't magically work in the other. This would only work if brute forcing was possible, in that case you don't need to encrypt anything at all.
>nobody is forcing you to buy btc through kyc
That's quite literally the law
>techlet cant source from the internet KYS
Yeah, because I will need something else that's also not anonymous and if I already do cash-by-mail I can just go with XMR and have actual anonymity and privacy without needing a complicated set up and the constant fear of having messed up once
>all information should be free including the blockchain so everyone can see whats going on

Algorithm A is not algorithm B. Algorithms are defined on what they do. Therefore, two different algorithms work differently.

Timing attacks, IP, user agent, any provider of such a service is in legal danger after a specific monthly throughput, no way to guarantee that the other party is trustworthy, the payment method is not necessarily anonymous, stylometric analysis of the conversation and the list goes on
>you are added to a list at your birth, all information is free
Yes, one that isn't publicly available. If you consider this 'free' then by your definition every piece of information is already free so you must be for XMR
>have you considered posting in privacy general instead of shitting up the board?

lol yeah

veracrypt is crazy powerful, and it's MUCH better than gpg. gpg is deadly dangerous, becuase it does wot crap, but also, most of the time you have the chance to hand a looooong password over to someone, physically. much better.

Still, imo, hdds of noise for otp is the best the best the best. And, since there are risks with otp, also use veracrypt :) ie put your otp INSIDE the veracrypt container you send.

>>102179982
Other than that there's no good reason to use veracrypt over LUKS imo. You might be less susceptible to the $5 wrench technique if you give the adversary a working password but they likely are looking for something specific so this could not prove enough.
One point I brought up that it's worthy of mention is that veracrypt enables you to use multiple encryption algorithms in a nested way so even if one of them is backdoored or broken the others will still protect you, but I don't consider this in my threat level and I believe most people shouldn't-
>>
>>102180649
>it's making life much more difficult. It already was tough to use monero but it's even harder now
I get that but honestly the way to acquire XMR hasn't changed much considering many exchanges that delisted XMR weren't already a good way to get it. I get the point about payment processors not taking it anymore but I haven't heard of any that took XMR before and it didn't hinder me.
>>
>>102183807
>does anyone even use those?
NTA but I use both. Due to Briar's design it's more fit for people you already know IRL while session is slightly easier to use with stangers.
>you can meet an odd normie who has Signal installed, but these two seem super rare.
Among normies they are, however you might be able to convince some to take the dive. Signal is still handy to give them something to contact you so Signal got it's place but session and briar are more special choices.
