Monero
I dont get the hate on monero is a super privacy effective currency
Some people live their life by sound bites. They’ve been told crypto is bad, and a lot of crypto is, so they just downvote anything along those lines.
We are in a privacy community, talking about ways to buy things privately, using private digital money. The down voters have no replacement no alternative suggestion no way to do things privately other than stop doing things. It’s not productive, and if they do believe in privacy, it’s contrary to their goals.
For the people who are about to down vote me, please respond to this comment, and tell me how do you buy things online privately?
So far 6 downvotes and not ONE of them has a response. That’s cowardice

I don’t understand how people are buying Monero or how it is possible to spend it. Who is selling 3D printers and gun parts for Monero without shipping it that this guy would have been able to get away with?
There are several ways to buy it:
Or if you already have 0.11XMR Haveno DEX
Or if you have another crypto Trocador (keep it under 1k USD and “A” or “B” rated to get insurance.
As for if anybody is selling 3D printed gun parts. I’m not sure.
Well the thing is, you buy the printer and print the parts. Then you buy things like a barrel, internals, magazines, sights, etc.
The most ridiculous part of this? You can just buy an 80% Glock or ar lower receiver. It takes minimal googling to learn how to finish that last 20%. In some cases it comes with a jig and instructions. So, Tracking 3d printers is fucking absurd. The amount of people buying a 3d printer solely for the purpose of constructing a firearm is minuscule. And of those, most are hobbyists.
This is specific to New York, which has banned making your own firearms. In the state I live in, there would be absolutely nothing illegal about buying 80% parts and building my own firearms. Or, if I really hated myself, buying a benchtop CNC mill, and trying to make a functioning 2011.
Tracking the sale of certain classes of items and having reams of data is obviously a huge problem; the only way to correct it would be to enact privacy laws that forbade companies from selling or sharing data with any gov’t agency without a warrant, and then limiting the warrant to a single person’s transactions.
Yeah I figured that NY must have made 80% parts illegal based on the context of this whole case.
I agree it s way more simple to just buy directly a firearm than 3d print it.
Right, sorry if my lingo made the point unclear. An 80% frame or receiver is legally NOT a firearm and when completed won’t have a serial and is also a ghost gun. My point was that the 3d printer as a flag for them to start to investigate is absolutely ridiculous.
Why people hating on this? I guess the not psyop was very effective.
