How much privacy should we have? Lets aim for absolute secrecy, pull back as hard as we cost effectively can & see how far the arrow flies.

Though its amazing to see other established cryptos like BCH & LTC push the cutting edge even further.

You don't need to worry about buying it directly though if you don't have exchange options like Kraken. So long as you can buy any crypto, you can easily swap to Monero. Tons of swap services or in wallet swap providers.

If you want to get the absolute lowest fees when swapping to Monero you could use Trade Ogre & swap currency pairs directly. They only charge a 0.2% fee per trade. The interface is a bit intimidating but the whole buying another crypto then swapping to Monero can be essentially free.

Thats a shame because it would really allow for a massive boost in network security & decentralization. Imagine if instead of what Tor did, they actually just had a modified working version of RandomX which could generate revenue for owners.

To me it just seems like such a waste that proof of work challenges are becoming more common place but those CPU cycles are essentially just being wasted not actually doing anything of value. Like at least if they could be given work units to very briefly preform micro prime number calculations, at least there is some mathematical value in that.
