!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Hello everyone,

After a discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee ( https://feddit.org/post/6950586 ), a few people interested in privacy decided to reopen !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as an alternative to !privacy@lemmy.ml .

It's also nice to have a privacy community on an instance that can be accessed via VPNs.

Feel free to join us there!

I'm ok with people promoting services which accept cryptocurrencies (hell, Lemmy itself accepts crypto donations). However promoting cryptocurrencies itself is a no-no in our instance.

Also: Crypto is a not private. The blockchain is public.

Crypto is a not private. The blockchain is public.

Not necessarily true for all ledgers, such as monero.

https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/faq/#anchor-different

Monero uses three different privacy technologies: ring signatures, ring confidential transactions (RingCT), and stealth addresses. These hide the sender, amount, and receiver in the transaction, respectively. All transactions on the network are private by mandate; there is no way to accidentally send a transparent transaction. This feature is exclusive to Monero. You do not need to trust anyone else with your privacy.
