@MonericaProject We still accept Monero through the ProxyStore. @ProtonVPN is still listed on Monerica and they do the exact same thing.

@smspoolnet We had to remove your listing over this.

Monero Update: Changes to Direct Payments Due to EU MiCA and incoming AMLR compliance requirements, we can no longer accept Monero directly. It's still available through our resellers. 📄 Read more: smspool.net/article/monero…

Did you take a look at the article? "This was a difficult but necessary decision. As an EU-based company, we're subject to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which imposes strict compliance requirements on financial institutions handling crypto assets. This is compounded by the incoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which will formally ban privacy coins like Monero from EU-regulated platforms from July 2027. Banks are already de-risking ahead of that deadline, and our banking partner is no longer willing to support our account while we continue accepting Monero directly. Alternative banks have declined to work with us for the same reason. Monero is still available through our resellers, so it hasn't been removed as a payment option, just moved off our direct platform. We know this is inconvenient and we're sorry for the disruption. Thanks for your understanding."

@smspoolnet why do it like this at all?

@smspoolnet That's unfortunate :(

@snowykomaru Monero is still accepted via ProxySto.re as stated in the article however we respect your decision.

@smspoolnet time to move to another service

We have users that use XMR but it’s definitely not our main payment method. “This was a difficult but necessary decision.

@smspoolnet Never using this again lol Wasnt XMR your main payment people used!?

@arkenwelt @its_airpods69 @vikrantnyc @El_Cuda @RadarChat Yeah we support Signal, make sure you enable "Registration Lock" on Signal after verifying. smspool.net/article/how-to…

@its_airpods69 @vikrantnyc @El_Cuda @RadarChat Maybe @smspoolnet (?)

Today we are launching @RadarChat, a messaging app that combines Signal's encryption with built-in Bitcoin Lightning payments, and because it's a Signal fork, you can keep messaging your existing Signal contacts from day one. No convincing friends to switch apps. The idea: you can already message someone privately, so why bounce out to Venmo or Cash App and hand your financial info to a third party every time you want to send money? Radar keeps both in one place. Send a message, send sats, all in the same conversation. What it does: ✅Works with your Signal contacts - it's a Signal fork, so the messaging side inherits Signal's encryption model and interoperates with the Signal network. ✅Private by default - Signal’s end-to-end encrypted messaging. ✅Bitcoin Lightning under the hood - fast, cheap settlement, non-custodial. Send within chats or externally.  You can just use it as your Bitcoin wallet! ✅Your seed phrase is encrypted and saved on Signal servers.  Lose your phone or app? Just restore Radar with our phone number as you normally do, and get your wallet back! (Although we still recommend that you write down your seed phrase) The privacy of Signal. The convenience of instant private Bitcoin Lightning payments. Backed by @egodeathcapital and built by the team that brought you @cakewallet It's live now. I'd love feedback from this community, so give it a try and tell me what works and what doesn't. You can download it now on the Apple App Store now and Google Play soon. Learn more at radar.chat!

On Thursday, the European Parliament votes on Chat Control 1 (the voluntary scanning, not the mandatory scanning, called Chat Control 2). Again. The Parliament has already voted against Chat Control 1. Two times. But the Council of Ministers and the Parliament President refuse to accept it. Now, the Council has demanded an urgent procedure. This is a procedure that is meant to be used for new legislative proposals, not proposals that the Parliament has already rejected. An urgent procedure requires an absolute majority to be rejected (361 out of the Parliament's 720 members). This will be difficult to reach, since those who abstain from voting are counted as a yes-vote in an urgent procedure. By scheduling the vote during the summer, they are making it even harder to reach those 361 no-votes. This is downright dirty tactic by the Council and the President of the European Parliament. The President of the European Parliament has sided with the Council against her own chamber. For context, this is the EP President, Roberta Metsola: ---

Trustpilot's review of a death threat and racial slur left against us: 'doesn't go against our guidelines.' Good job @Trustpilot for allowing this very informative 1* review.

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet. Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet? Because this is about control, not children.

STOP CHAT CONTROL Pass it on

Shameless @AMD

This Week 📱 Starmer wants to ban children from private messaging. Uses disappearing messages himself. 🍎 UK gave Apple and Google 3 months to scan every device in Britain. 🌐 Google disabled adblockers. Google sells ads. Privacy for the people writing the laws. Surveillance for everyone living under them.

@obscuravpn @TechloreInc

What got you into privacy?

This is what the UK spyware proposal means. There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of. When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime). The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion. Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies. Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly. The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject. The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices. @GrapheneOS on the Apple and Google duopoly: x.com/GrapheneOS/sta… Statement from @signalapp x.com/signalapp/stat… @ReclaimTheNetHQ on the state spyware: reclaimthenet.org/starmer-calls-… The government announcement: gov.uk/government/new…
