That’s just one of the dumbest reasons to sue Apple…

iOS has a nice default set of privacy respecting apps. iOS isn’t perfect but it’s as close as you can get to having a usable phone while having some sort of privacy.

Android always sends requests to Google. A de-googled phone with no Play Services is too limiting.

Nevermind, my bad! It didn’t when I tested this website a few weeks ago

Your swap has little to no indication about AML. I don’t like gambling with my coins

Again, just relatively common sense.

Postfix etc… isn’t that hard to run. I selfhost a mailcow installation, which is considered “full” and “expensive to run” and it’s still really fine to run. Not expensive when scaling up to multiple users, the most important is the initial performance cost per instance.

We’re mostly paying for salaries and R&D I believe. They’re developing other services and stuff, but they could easily charge less and still be profitable, they just wouldn’t have this much reserves.

Perhaps they don’t realise that by lowering their subscription costs, they could get more users… like me

Free plan states

Anonymous Reply + Send From Daily Limit “X”

as unsupported for the free plan… So I’m quite surprised

For sure, but the lack of feature to reply/send is certainly limiting after a certain point

Addy is nice but sometimes blocked, and a bit expensive.

Sure but they probably make more than enough money. Email is really cheap to run

Why :(

I mean I self host for 4€/month and I could fit multiple emails in there

Email is pretty much just about storage at some point, and there are a lot more cost effective servers for this, than a simple VPS

The website’s article completely bases itself on https://duke.hush.is/memos/6/

Both are spreading FUD about churning. The 2 wallets method is also churning, but “easy” version because you’re separating the results. The end result is still dangerous: you could spend 2 of your “Outgoing” coins in the same transaction, which is really easy to identify, provided both coins are from the same source.

I’d argue the stastical risk of establishing a trace thanks to a serie of churns is extremely unlikely. Nobody will churn 6+ times anyways, and the advantages of churning far outweighs the ones of not churning.

Sadly, they also don’t state anything about how that “MAP Decoder Attack” works. After searching, it’s pretty interesting, and we come onto the pretty well known issue that decoy distribution isn’t perfect.

FCMP will fix this. In the meantime, please churn for any sensitive transaction. Either method (2 wallets or classic churning) works and the effects are always good, even if other mistakes are made (except if sweeping all).

I have to say I haven’t really checked much of Rucknium’s work, but it’s pretty damn precise. Guy knows what he’s talking about. Our next big threat will be malicious remote nodes, like he said!

still means they’re willing to collect data

5€/month for email? 😵

Great source, thanks :)

Where is twitter mentioned?

Edit: Ooh for the giveaway! Well you’re free not to then. The rest of the post is about the swapping service, the giveaway is just a small part of it

You’re right, sorry. Wasn’t meant to be an insult, but more of a way to make you react and understand that we don’t understand

You’re also saying something is shitty without justification.

Can’t understand a thing. You having a stroke?

iirc Signal also deletes messages if not delivered in 30 days or so

Not much, apart from confirming using Monero doesn’t make you (completely) untraceable, or as untraceable as people believe.

The anonymity set is reduced because real spending habits don’t match the decoy selection algorithms, making it harder to hide the real spends.

In most cases, you shouldn’t have to worry. If you’re doing some sensitive transactions, you should churn a couple of times, especially if your coins are linked to your identity in some way (through an exchange for example).
