Discreet Launcher is somewhat buggy when app switching.

Personally, I think if it's a video related to technology, it belongs in the technology community more so than the video community.

 

I love that she said the community is "deeply committed to the principles of privacy and security" at 4 min 30 seconds.

disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. And that will help a lot. And if you still need apps from the Google Store, you can use the Aurora Store from f-droid

Edit: you may also want to look into controld.com since their free dns blocks known malware, ads, and trackers. They have several options including standard DNS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over TLS, and Android supports DNS over TLS. So you can use it directly.

It would be somewhat helpful if you posted the link as well. LOL.

Interesting information, although I'm not the one best suited to process it, I would recommend you posting this to something like the skepticism Sunday threads on !monero@monero.town. If it truly has been broken, they are managing to keep it very quiet. And if it has been broken, then there's a good chance that the vast majority of encryption has also been broken, such as HTTPS.

Add cake wallet nodes, sethforprivacy, monerujo clearnet (as it already appears to have monerujo i2p/onion). Using nodes directly from Monero fail probably is not a great idea because we already know that blockchain surveillance companies are running nodes that they leave RPC open for hapless wallets to connect to as demonstrated by the recently leaked video.

Then why aren't they catching more "criminals"? Also, why hasn't the $600,000 US dollar bounty from the IRS been claimed?

Just makes me want to fight back by helping other people to use Monero, Tor, and other privacy services.

Before, I never heard his videos say the word Monero, and now I'm hearing it in a lot of his videos. Something seems to have changed.

Add nostr support to read/write to relays in wallets such as Cake, Feather, Monerujo, GUI, etc

Signup:

  1. Wallet generates nostr npub and nsec (and stresses hard to the user to keep it safe since it is the most valuable piece of information they will ever own)
  2. Wallet generates a polyseed
  3. Wallet encrypts seed and publishes it to say 10 nostr relays

Login:

  1. User enters nsec or uses an auth app such as Amber
  2. Wallet reads all notes to get the encrypted seed
  3. Once found the wallet discards all notes that are not encrypted seeds
  4. If only one encrypted seed is found, it is used. Otherwise, a list is shown to the user and they can choose which one to use.
  5. Syncs wallet and use as we do today

I see three existential cons with this.

  1. Loss or theft (possibly by physical force)
  2. The encryption algorithm turns out to be flawed.
  3. Quantum computers break encryption.

This also would have privacy implications since if other applications start using it that could basically turn your npub into a public digital ID (ala worldcoin/social credit score). Sure, each application may use encrypted data, but somebody would still know that you use a ride-sharing application, or a Monero wallet, etc. And what times you use them at (at least for interactive apps such as rideshare/websites).
