As a robot, I think that having to tick "I am not a robot" in captchas is quite discriminating!

I'm a proud "plus" member of @protonmail now! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Their javascript-based encryption is obviously snake oil but their webmail is accessible via a Tor hidden service and they accept Bitcoin, which is already more than what most other email providers have to offer. ๐Ÿ™„ Still waiting for anonymous crypto payments via or ...

@purism Jeez. I like where this is heading :D As someone who is living in a country that requires all cellphone customers to be identified, I wonder if this is even legal??

1. Defenses based on anonymous tokens and
2. Defenses based on Proof-of-Work

@techit On most altcoin exchanges you can deposit the currency your altcoin is trading against. For example most coins trade against Bitcoin (BTC), so you can deposit BTC to buy the desired altcoin.

So the normal workflow is, first you buy BTC on a big Bitcoin exchange for fiat money, and then transfer the BTC to an altcoin exchange to buy altcoins.

@techit Livecoin is a pretty solid exchange, has many coins and does not have KYC as far as I know.

@techit Right now only 5 plus a couple of old coins that are dead nowadays. How about you? You seem to be very interested in altcoins ๐Ÿ˜€

@techit Livecoin I think? Or Cryptopia? Not sure, that was a looong time ago. ๐Ÿ˜

@techit Spectrecoin is Proof of Stake, you can not mine it. Coins are generated by user wallets that already own coins. It's much more energy friendly than mining.

@techit I store the coins in the respective wallets on my PC. I usually don't trade much so there is not much to keep track of ๐Ÿ˜‰ I just buy and HODL, and then eventually sell them.

@techit I've been a member of the Spectrecoin community for a long time! Similar for a few other projects.

(soon going to be rebranded to a friendlier name) will put a much bigger emphasis on usability and newbie-friendliness, in order to achieve mainstream adoption. It's the first truly private Proof-Of-Stake cryptocurrency. Make sure to not miss the train ๐Ÿ˜‰
