Care to explain the comparisons?

Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Everything is does everywhere it goes and everyone trading in its entire history is tracked and publicated %100 all the way down to the IP address.

Closest thing you can get away with that is to swap Monero for the Bitcoin on Bisq.

Monero is anonymous. %100. Regular upgrade to the shuffling of the anonymity is by design and happens between twice a year and every other year.

Mullvad accept Monero directly. No third party snitch tracker doing the acceptance for them. They give the same discount for the payment method.

I'm familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn't clear to me how they related to those VPNs.

I'm all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don't accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.

Just an FYI, if I'm suspicious and I've only interacted with you once, I'm sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you're so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.

Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.

I'm paranoid by choice. I'm choice of such because I'd rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.

Ok, and how are they a "snitch VPN"? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?

I don't have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I've just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.

No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don't take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.

So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

You read shit that ain't there. That rock ain't psychic despite thinking whatever the fuck you think.

don't tell ppl monero is pvt.

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

And don't tell anyone they use it to sling dope on the darknet either.

I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn't. Its more than that, but that's the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.

No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs...
