That's why I don't use Ubuntu, because of their over-reliance on snaps, which do NOT undergo the same quality controls as standard repository feeds. Stick with Debian, don't use untrusted snaps, appimages, or flatpaks. All of the three formats seek to circumvent the exhaustive vetting that gives Linux a significant advantage over Microsoft Windows. Wallets are especially sensitive for obvious reasons.

So glad to have another podcast for Monero that I can listen to. Thanks for switching to English, Alex.

I went to that allark.io site and I didn't see any support for Monero, opened up to an Ethereum quote, looks less than useful for exchanging Monero for fiat.

Heard the latest podcast on MoneroTalk on BasicSwap DEX. Impressive capabilities, however with my skills, there is insufficient information for me to safely install the application on my Linux system. Suggest more work on Installation procedure and automating the install process on Debian Based Linux systems at a minimum.

I agree with surfer's comments, especially the one about making it more valuable. The hidden fact is that the price does NOT reflect the VALUE at the moment. We will see more representative price discovery when CDBC's track, trace, and programming is introduced later this year or next. I am delighted to have shaken many speculators and profit takers out of their positions. Once the lack of privacy hits them hard, they will scramble to get out of their fiat with or without CBDC's, but I imagine CBDC's will be a tipping point.

I withdrew XMR from Kraken, in quiet times, that took over 12 hours

May want to hold off on buying, price continues to fall...

After examination, it still appears that Bastyon does a better job of providing a Twitter like interface while remaining private and anonymous as you choose to. However, my assumption that using the block-chain being the only way to do that may have been in error. I've also learned a bit about Session and done a little reading on Nostr, but although Session seems to be a WhatsApp OR Signal - killer, it doesn't appear to have the same ability to share news and create followers like Twitter or Telegram. I am very enthusiastic about all the new activity in the decentralized communication space.

Hey Shadow Rebel, I just installed Session Messenger for the first time after it was suggested to me by the MoneroTalk group. I tested it today with another privacy advocating friend of mine and we both though very highly of it. As a messaging app, it exceeds the polish and functions of Bastyon, but as a twitter-like social media app where you broadcast things out to a large group, Bastyon is better suited. Both are very good at helping to remain anonymous, not asking for telephone numbers or email addresses, but their similarities diverge from there. If you've got some very easy things that I can do to help you using the Session Messenger App, I'd be happy to assist. Perhaps you'd want to DM me here in monero.town with your Session ID and I could find you that way. I also called my nickname prancer389 over there, but I don't know if you can find me that way.

Regards, prancing389

You should join us at MoneroTalk on Saturdays, sometime after noon EST when they call up viewers on stage. There's been extensive attention given to XMRBazaar and I'm sure the topic would be welcomed, maybe contact monerotalk@proton.com ahead of time to discuss when and how to give larger presentation of your thoughts on MoneroTalk as a guest speaker.

Why not have a social network on a block-chain? Most people in the Monero community don't want censorship, and block-chain based systems remove the ability to censor speech, where centralized servers will always retain that ability. Take the CEO of the company that can be bought or bribed out of the equation, and it's uncorruptable.

I'd be happy to give it a shot. If you all concur, contact me via DM and at monerotalk.prancing389@aleeas.com to discuss requirements/expectations.
