BEWARE: The Missing Problem Every Wallet With Crypto Swaps Has Ignored First, let me tell everyone that No-KYC swaps are great! We love them but there are problems. Anyone who's used them long enough knows they come with problems. Over the last few months we've been quietly solving them, one by one. Software is our domain and we like nothing more but to get to the very essence of the problem. Here are soem of the things we delivered just recently: → Impartial risk scoring to minimize asset freezes bringing the freezes nearly to 0! → No metadata leakage before you commit to a swap. This has massive benefits to the swapper. → Work with providers to establish pre-screening practices to reduce post-deposit KYC and rejections Today we're introducing another first of its kind feature that aims to fix industry wide problem. Most wallets simply show you whatever quote a provider returns. We go one steps further. If a provider consistently delivers less than promised, we automatically sanction them. Here's how it works: → We compare every quoted amount with what was actually delivered. → Providers that repeatedly under-deliver receive an automatic penalty. → Their displayed quotes are reduced until they improve. Even if a provider returns a $100 quote, we'll show less if their track record proves they rarely deliver what they promise. The result? >> Providers that keep their promises naturally rise to the top. >> The users often get more than what they expect, nbot the other way around. >> Providers are encouraged to underpromise but over deliver for visibility. At the very least, underdelivering has a negative impact on visibility. Because the best quote means nothing if it's never actually delivered. Your wallet should protect you! We are here to deliver and protect your interests. Be Unstoppable!




MoneroKon "Emergency Meeting" --- There's broad consensus that @OrangeFren did great with MK6, and he's the clear favorite to organize MK7. @ajs_xmr unanimously lost a vote that *he* called for MK7 organizer, but then 2 days later, literally went rouge. With no warning, started kicking various people from groups he controls (many of which have nothing to do with MK), killed the MoneroKon room <--> IRC bridge, and today shut off the MK servers. He called an "emergency meeting," falsely framing this as "profit vs non-profit." However, he abandoned his obligation to organize MK6 and had minimal involvement with MK5. When @OrangeFren proposed to pick up the torch, organizing MK6 on a compressed timeline and assuming the full entrepreneurial risk, @ajs_xmr consented. @ajs_xmr also proposed a personal compensation of ~$40k for himself for MK7 (now it's an hourly-rate proposal), and has plans for *his own* LLC to conduct MK7. --- Importantly: There's consensus that a pure-volunteer model has become untenable due to growing size. Spearheading Kon is huge time investment. So it's not even a contentious proposition that *someone* will make profit/income for their efforts. This is reasonable. However, @ajs_xmr framing this as "profit vs non" is a red herring and hypocritical. Another crucial false framing, is that a narrow group voted to "convert MK into a privately controlled commercial enterprise." We absolutely did not. We ONLY voted that @OrangeFren organize MK7 (a vote ajs organized). --- Setting aside his unprofessional and legally-questionable behavior, a diverse group of participants have converged on the core of the issue. MoneroKon is creative-commons. Anyone may use the name. However, there are socials, domains, and infrastructure which are under ajs exclusive control. The main proposition is this: **Stewardship/control of these resources should be separated from entities organizing MoneroKon.** The steward should be skilled with infra, and grant access to future MK organizer(s) based on community sentiment. I'm writing this post, because on Saturday, at 1600 UTC, the "emergency meeting" ajs demanded, will commence in: #monero-community:monero.social" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">app.element.io/#/room/#monero…
--- My hope is that we can remain focused on the primary issues at hand, and not be distracted by red herrings. 1. Should control of the infra/socials be separated from entities organizing future MoneroKons? - Which physical person and backup will be the primary custodians for the MK resources? - Should the secondary custodians that @ajs_xmr kicked, be fully restored on all infra he controls? - Discussion regarding incentives/structure, to motivate good faith by the primary custodians. 2. Does the community wish to restore @OrangeFren's access to the MK socials/website, for the purposes of organizing MK7?






JUST IN: All new cars sold in the EU are now required to include an infrared camera that monitors the driver's eyes and face for distraction.
