Would be awesome if Freetube could automatically check if the video exists on Odysee and play it from there if YT copy is unavailable or blocked.

It is best to learn how to store your own crypto, never leave it on an exchange.

For Bitcoin Cash the most secure way is to use Electron Cash wallet on a Linux PC. Then you can top up your mobile wallet as needed for spending.

OK, thanks for the extra info, would have a been a good idea to include this in the post from the start.

You should consider bringing your tokens over to Bitcoin Cash for more exposure. https://tapswap.cash/

The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list

I was under the impression that there was a network attack going on which was disrupting node operations, as has had happened in the past and that is why this post was created.

My point is the nodes should be able to dynamically determine if misadjusted or allegedly misbehaving nodes are present and block/ignore those automatically without needing to apply a ban-list from a centralized authority. This is a long standing issue and measures in the protocol should be able to govern this, since it has not happened it appears that this is a fundamental flaw that cannot be addressed and instead a ban-list is the only solution.

My question is what is preventing this from being properly addressed so applying a centralized ban list is not necessary? Is it a whack-a-mole situation where attackers will just tweak some other parameters and get around any detection?

Shouldn't the node network be able to automatically ban offending peers without needing a centralized ban list? Can you explain where my understanding falls short?

Needing to use a ban list is indicative of broken node software. This flaw has existed in Monero for a long time, is it a fundamental issue that will never be addressed?

Really glad I do not have a google account and avoid all of their services. 🙂

This is because the USDT is a token on the BNB network. So you need BNB to make transactions. The other coins are not tokens but coins on their own blockchains.

Yes, Odysee is much better than YT, they will not block you for using a VPN and you can use burner a email to sign up. They also do not have annoying ads every 3 minutes, they have zero ads. Sad that so many creators refuse to post their content on other platforms and continue to support YT's tyrannical monopoly. Still there is a pretty good selection on there.
