Monero users,
Lightning News covered us. I'm trying to get MoneroTalk to cover the project as well because:
As we decentralize out the VPN nodes, Monero influencers should run them as well. Repost this open letter to Doug! You can make a difference here.

Dear Doug,
The dream of the Bazaar is anyone can offer value and earn in a circular economy.
But there are huge challenges. For the customer to be inconvenienced to get XMR and sync a wallet, just to spend it... there has to be a reason why Monero is better than any other. And for products you have shipped to your home, or services (such as website design) done for a personal business, the vendor usually knows who you are. So most people don't care to be inconvenienced to get anonymous money, for non-anonymous products or services. In fact, even most VPNs see your home IP address, so it's irrelevant if you pay with fiat or XMR.
But what if the product itself was anonymity? Our team has created a unique revolutionary browser fingerprint VPN, that not only hides different isolated profiles from being fingerprinted, but has multiple layers/hops we're decentralizing out. This means the user would dramatically benefit from paying in XMR, since it would separate that the different profiles are them. And we have Monero payments right in the app itself.
Even better, Doug I want you to run a VPN node in the network. So you can earn a stream of XMR, and cash-in on your hard-earned and respected reputation. However, we can not control or censor open-source code. So if we don't allow Bitcoiners, they'll fork it and do their own thing. And if we are unable to get on the MoneroTalk podcast, it's quite possible that the larger Bitcoiner community will dominate our open-source network. In fact, we were just covered in Lightning News after a journalist reached out to us,

Simplified Privacy VPN: Privacy Powered by Lightning
That’s exactly what Simplified Privacy VPN is offering: a new kind of privacy tool that feels more like spinning up a secure, disposable virtual ...
Simplified Privacy has done literally everything we could to help Monero's mission. From pledging a deposit to the Bazaar for a parallel PGP legal system, to Monero tutorials to on-board users, and answering questions in our group chats across multiple platforms and social medias. Some members of our group live in really poor or neglected countries, but they still sacrificed to make this happen. Others gave up time with their families or better paying jobs, all for the dream of making a circular economy out of digital cash. We've written tens of thousands of lines of code for this original project, and sacrificed printing our own coin, to help Monero.
So if the dream of the Bazaar is anyone can participate and offer value, even if they are smaller and neglected, and this project uniquely helps Monero adoption, can we please have a chance to present this to MoneroTalk?
Forever Yours,
Simplified Privacy Team
