Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if you’re not mainstream, by definition most people won’t support you, won’t agree with you, won’t understand you.
Some things may be downvoted because they’re too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because you’re a bit too early. Like, if you’d said “being gay is not crime” or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvoted… Just a thought.
Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.
Yes, there is a violent mafia that has a monopoly on currency and credit at this time. This is changing slowly as more and more rational people realize the scam that is being perpetrated.
If you don't want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don't get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.
this is fucking awesome. perfect way to spread the word.
please link where we can get these stamps?? we should be shipping these out by the truckloads. easy to do, everyone can do it, very little effort, and spread like wildfire
Idk, I think finding an ad stamped on my banknote would probably just sour my opinion of the thing being advertised. Especially if the ink runs and gets on my hands or clothes or something
when we try to build our own financial system this makes certain kinds of ordinary people really mad for a lot of dumb reasons. they haven't been told that they are allowed to think it's cool yet
12 upvotes, only 3 out of the downvotes come from this instance.
they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve 😁
edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store 😉

If only I could pay for my groceries/gas/utilities/taxes/loans with crypto. Alas! I have to convert it back into fiat currency first.

Domain registration, DNS, VPN
Donations: grapheneos, briar, molly.im, Tor, eff
Just a few things I regularly use crypto for today.
Never heard of molly or briar before, thanks for the recommendations. What VPN do you use?
Mullvad, airvpn accept monero.

Take a look at privacy guides, a lot of the software they recommend lines up with the Monero philosophy
"Regularly" how regularly do you get a VPN? Or donate to TOR?
Monthly
Well, I can pay for my groceries, gas, and utilities with crypto already. Can't do the loans yet though.

This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.
Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.
Even if your right, that's no reason not to try.

true, thanks. looks like the BTC bots are in full force today btw!
I think this time it maybe banker bots, they are angry about having their scam notes "defaced" AKA improved with info about real money.
