Yes, engaging a huge attack directly this way would mean having in the end a lot of regular users spinning up gupax.
But the main benefit here is that for me and anyone else doing that, it's practically free to run the miner.
We don't need to have a million users running gupax, it starts with 10, then 100, then 1000, then more.
We don't need to reach a million in any case. Each additional miner, as small as his share is, is a direct additional cost for the attacker.
The small miners can add hashrate for free, and the attacker always needs to compensate that and add some more on top.
Remember, this attack is expensive for the attacker, and its funds are limited.

This asymmetry is key, don't let the whale discourage the shrimps from banding together.

And as Malcom X said, don't let your enemy tell you how many of you there are.

"A.I is drunk" is a intriguing theme.
Imagine fighting the Terminator, but you know it's just an LLM, drunk on power, always hallucinating, and shooting targets that do not exist.
You are not even sure if it will achieve destroying humans before destroying itself...

In any case, no A.I. was used to make this story. I wrote it myself.
Please have a look at my other stories, on arseneoaa.me, I am looking for feedback on how to improve them.

Well, as long as you understand the consequences of that choice, that's fine.

I've lost count of how many evil, nazi or literal genocidal companies I have been giving my money to, every month for the past several years.
These include everyday companies with bad goals like Nestlé working to privatise your access to water.

You may dislike the devs of Lemmy, but at least they are offering something great to the world without requiring users to give them money in exchange, or requiring users to agree to the sale of their personal data.

BTW banning users they don't like on their instance, or blocking them is perfectly expected behaviour on the fediverse.
lemmy.ml is not special, no instance is special.
Everyone is free to create or join his favorite nazi, piracy, neoliberal or whatever lemmy instance, and on each instance, the mods are free to act as they please.

If you don't support the Lemmy software because the devs are tankies, that's still fine.
For me personally, it's still worth it to send them 5 bucks in Monero for all the value I get out of this.

Imagine if we had to pay for Reddit 🤣

Preach! My friend, preach!

It’s still there for them to use if they want.

Also, the capitalist overlords of our time (right now) already "seek control over others" and are actively dissuading people from using Monero.

I don't know any commies against currencies though.

In any case, it's still there for them to use if they want.

Yes,

And Monero is the communist money.

And Monero is the alt-right money.

And Monero is the alt-left money.

And Monero is the extreme-center money.

It is money for the collectivists, the individualists, the mercantilists, the financialists,...
Monero means money.

Did you read the post?

Or do you mean that Monero is not for this or that group because they don't have brains?

The first part of the privacy disclaimer is not correct.
If you use this script, CoinMarketCap will not know about any amount displayed on your browser, they will not know about how much you have in your bank account when you visit your banking website with this script.

The second part is very correct, be careful using random people 's scripts, read the source code to see what it really does.
