This is the first official documented order of @Oshi (推し) paid for with Monero 😱! Since I’ve been one of his earliest, & loyal customers he downloaded cake wallet, a privacy focused Multi-coin wallet, including privacy features like silent payments for Bitcoin that most “Bitcoin-only”/Bitcoin Focused wallets haven’t implemented yet. He originally was offering to accept Monero on the front, & then he’d swap it into Bitcoin afterwards but then I remembered that Cake Wallet had a new feature that lets you swap currencies automatically, so I ended up paying him in Bitcoin directly by sending him Monero but he received Bitcoin on his end. This is what happens when two individuals that believe in the principles of individual liberty, and personal choice work together. The State hinders this freedom but Bitcoin, and Monero enables it again 😃😎! Also this is my first big 16 oz jar 🤗❤️!

I don't use cake wallet. but that'd be the thing to use since you're moving back and forth between BTC a lot probably. nothing wrong with it, I just like to use smaller projects and support them directly. I use Monfluo on the Graphene phone Feather on the desktop
They were having issues with Firo previously but I'm pretty sure they've patched it by now. Solid UI though. Back end generally works but it's had its moments but then again so has cake but I think both have fixed their primary issues by now.
Yo let's go, thanks for being open to Monero now. Monero has comparable or greater usage on many platforms like coincards, ShopinBit, mynymbox and more. You stand to vastly grow your business. I for one will place an order the day you start accepting, and I know there's many like me eagerly waiting.
Usually the bugs happen when they add new coins because of their libraries at least in my experience. Hard-core bugs get patched out asap, small bugs kind of linger for a while. Their worst ones are gone, about 2 or years ago cake wallet was unbearably unusable but since Seth has joined their team the wallet has improved a lot!
Well since I don’t have a website or anything all the orders are processed by me and those who asked to pay with xmr simply asked for an address after they were given the final sales price… I mean I could have generated invoices but they just asked for an address… Of course since it’s on chain I waited for confirmations before confirming payment. I received the xmr I swapped in app to btc ln to Phoenix (remember when I complained about messing up and possibly losing them stats, sending it to Zeus lol) for simplicity in my accounting…
I’ve tried your wine because @Liberty NH , it’s pretty good stuff. It’d be pretty cool if you accept Monero too, or if are open to third party distribution, retailers, resellers, or affiliates, etc. Please let me know. I’d like to work with you on this 🙏.
Right now, Monero primarily uses Layer 1 though Layer 2s like Monero lightning, and Drive Chains have been proposed but as far as I’m aware nothing major has come to fruition yet, or at least not talked about very often. Might be niche right now since Layer 1 tends to work good for most people.
We used a swapping service, normally it would take10 confirmations approximately 20 minutes. Block time is 2 minutes, 10 confirmations is a protocol design to stop double spending. Block time x Confirmations = settlement time. If block time comes down, or confirmations are changed at protocol level then settlement time reduces.
it's not to do with double spends, for that you have key images. it has to do with potential block reorgs and not including bad/invalidated outputs as part of a ring signature.
you don't have to worry about it really. it only becomes an issue if you do many transactions in a row. imagine you have 100 XMR (yay!) and you pay 10 XMR for something, and you only had that one 100 XMR output. now you have 0 XMR you can spend for about 20min - annoying. instead, imagine you had 100 XMR, but this time you have 4 outputs of 25 XMR each. now you can make 4 txs in a row, provided each one doesn't go above 25 XMR (or there would be 2 inputs consumed, and the change from the tx will get locked for 20min).
Right on. I’ve got the btcpay server going for btc but I’ll have to figure out how to add a pruned node to the system. Not a dev so it’ll take me some time
Really wish the hard-core Bitcoin Only privacy dudes could be normal, and use Monero like everyone else.

The implementation of Layer-2 solutions is an admission of failure. Furthermore, multi-layered approaches drastically expand the attack surface.
