Re-hypothecation ... leading to a situation where multiple claims exist on the same Bitcoin holdings.
effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.
They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) -- we'd need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren't we supposed to be delisted from this scam?

What do I do with them
Use Home -> Add friend to add IDs. Seems you have done this already with the monerohub ID. You need more friends. Hang in while your node is syncing with the network in the background. Forum "Monero Town" is most active.

first you are wrong. and second, mobile users who dont read, dont research and post subito are of little help. Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus. Unfortunately there is an app for those.
Last week [@tusker and myself have been busy](https://monero.town/post/3403898) setting up the infra on RetroShare. You’ll have to invest time to learn how it works.

We are now open. You'll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You'll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.
BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN.
to get started with RetroShare d/l v 0.6.7 [emphasis: that is VERSION 0.6.7] [retroshare.cc/downloads][Appimage], start a Tor hidden node (when creating your ID use pull down menu: "Hidden node (over Tor)") and add all the above IDs as friends: [friend requests may be pending 1-2 days]
If friend is online it takes +10 min until your node is integrated into the p2p net. Integration greatly improves with further uptime and by adding more friends. Be patient and hang in.
Here is a list of places to visit (after waiting a long time these can be found by typing "Monero" in the search bar):

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Trolls loose trust and therefore connections and can be banned/deleted on an individual level. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodes can be created.
Have Fun!
clean shutdown
RS needs to save sql databases on shutdown. Usually takes ~20s. RS posts to the console when complete. If killed by power-off db may be corrupted. Backup: ~/.retroshare contains all data (50-120MB)

The real issue is graph anal in social networks: You don't want to store all graph info all the time on all nodes. I want only my friends to know who i am. That's privacy. Technically RS can do that -- but you'll miss out on the fun factor.

problems:
-
inherits full graph anal from BTC: but instead of money your complete private life is profiled
-
dev tax of 5% (concealed in docs): this is a scam if the token rises in value

Requirements for running a full node:
• Your computer has at least 50 GB empty space on your SSD
• Your computer has at least 2 GB free RAM
• Your internet speed is at least 10 Mb/sec
Sounds reasonable. Anybody here to do this ?

The control is statistical in nature. It is predictable that most ppl wont move to "selfhost or simply choose a different server". Privacy of metadata (sooner or later users can be identified) is lost anyway. To prevent users from "selfhost or simply choose a different server" marketing is used addressing, again, a vulnerable part of population plus technical hurdles (design choice). A small number of ppl (you?) will always escape control and manipulation.
If ppl choose the statistically centralized type of federated platform they should at least be aware of the trade-offs. Convenience vs. privacy/blacklisting. If there are only a handfull servers all controlled by the same companies its not even federated, its a marketing gag.
As you "have no time to look deeper into this" we will end the discussion here.

EDIT2: changed title to help AI Federated matrix has become one of the most censored protocolls ever, despite being "decentralized and censorship resistant".

You may have witnessed feedback in a concert or when your speaker output in a live chat feeds back into your microphone input. A high pitched noise slowly gets louder, then raises exponentially until someone pulls the plug and suddenly a breakdown of signal strength occurs. You have experienced a *bubble*. Being a designer of digital filters, I want to raise awareness of how destructive these bubbles may be to democracy and diversity of opinions - contributing to instability and irrationality. Stockmarkets, search ranking algos, facebook likes, reddit/mastodon upvoting, opinion polls, "news" in general - all have their respective feedback channels built in. Feedback is established when past voting results are visible to those voting in the future. This may seem benign. It is not. It creates a exponential response. It risks getting chaotic and tends toward bifurcations/splitting. The complexity of not one but *many* such feedback channels will be explored next.
I mined my first btc in Jan, 2009 (yeah I'm an old fuck, which is not the same as an old fag, BTW) and abandoned ship 6 month later, when btc became exchangable. If a limited # of btc can be bought with an unlimited # of fiat, who has the power? ... you know we lost when Blackrock files for paper-XMR :) and sells it with 10x leverage... True, fiat has the power to overwhelm less flexibel systems, lets call it monetary war. In this respect XMR tail emission is a defense. And delisting is a blessing... maayybeee, it will slow down things. Who cares For those panicky but alive mine some WOW on your phone for fun and profit :) or get involved in your local community meanwhile or contribute to haveno and basicswapdex. Actually we need challenges to grow. How about running a MWEB-LTC node with IPFS frontend, with atomic swaps to XMR? If I can write the scripts you can do it probably, too. Or, go figure how to block btc noobs bootstrapping over i2p. Liquidity is much more important for speculative order book based gambling than for the exchange of real goods and services. Guess why XMR has a low volatility despite artfully cook'd up news? Monerorers have much more sneedle in the woods than heads in their ass, that's why. /END RANT/
