Goldback works with the state governments to ensure legal protection from the feds. Hense why they only issue goldback in gold friendly states.

They are expensive to make since they could be almost double over spot, but it is the best solution currently for fractional gold in the form of a usuable currency. Adoption seems to be picking up, but slowly like bitcoin adoption was in the early 2010s.

I’d love to see them add XMR as a option in both directions for exchange.

Agreed

Goldbacks have been around since 2019. They may not be for everyone, but it is innovative form of cash.

We need more monero devs to develop monero relay payment integration on nostr. Lightning payments on nostr can remain for all I care but lightning is not the answer.

Same goes for integrating other relay paymemt options like Haven protocol, BCH and LTC.

I like to see others, not just crypto people but more people of all kinds flock to nostr.

If you wanted a lemmy graveyard instance community, would you create it, find others to help moderate it and get the ball rolling? The answer is most likely not. That is why I make these communities, so they exist and to get them going.

Just getting the ball rolling, that is all

Did you want to help moderate? If you do, please leave a comment on a community post. Until then, I will moderate them.

Why not a community

!lemmyinstancegraveyard@lemmy.world

And a community for peertube and plume instances

!peertubeinstancegraveyard@lemmy.world

!plumeinstancegraveyard@lemmy.world

Someone on kbin could make a kbin graveyard community.

!jitsimeetinstances@lemmy.world

!redditexodusarmy@lemmy.world is a community I created for others to join and share ways of promoting Lemmy to Redditors.

Essentiallly an elevator pitch is the best way to promote Lemmy. Don't make it a long speech on why Lemmy is good. Keep it short and exciting.

Hey @comcreator here

It is not against the rules to create a community. And I invite people to help moderate these communities and try to get 3-5 people moderating them, I will step down and hand it over once others take them over.

I not here to get power, I want to create communities so they exist, so content can start appearing in them. Many people do not create communities they want to see since they have the responsibility to moderate them.

I even try to contact moderators on reddit asking if they wish to moderate or even take over communities I created on lemmy.

I started !firo@lemmy.world and now no longer control it. Same goes for !antarctica@lemmy.world and !archiving@lemmy.world.

If you wish to help moderate, leave a comment in any of my communities.

Lets make Lemmy great and full of content!

There is one now

!solus@lemmy.world

I have started many communities and got them going to were I stepped down as a moderator and let others run them. Maybe lacking engagement right now but in time I am sure it will get itself going.

Did you want to become a moderator for some of these communities? If so, send me a DM.

How would one go about creating a fully FOSS or mostly FOSS alternative to Google Pay?

Do not know of any open source alternatives and it is surprising to me there are none. To my understanding, all that is needed as a mobile app that one can store their credit card on (number, expiry, cvc) and have NFC for permission for tap payments. The app should be able to function offline since the payment is done though the NFC, not your phone's internet connection.

I am not complaining about SimpleX. Just expressing a feature I would like to see. I could try to reach out to the devs about it though.

I have not

Monero is a privacy coin that allows for multiple subaddresses.

The reason I prefer having identities (subaddresses) and to recover these addresses using a single 24 word seed phrase is for a simple one-time backup of your addresses. This will not backup anything else.

Lets say you generate a subaddress for every single friend you have and then a few years later your phone dies and you did not make a backup in over a year. The seed phrase will be able to recover your subaddresses. You may not know who address is for which friend, but as long your friend knows they can contact you and you will still receive the message.

If simplex implements multiple reuseable addresses that are generated by a seed phrase like a cryptocurrency, it will be a killer app. I am not against removing the single use one time codes to establish communications, that is a cool feature, just not possible to backup these communications on paper.

Paper backups are considered the most secure since it is not backup using a computer.
