Next up: the US.
Celebrate today friends, but I encourage all of my privacy-valuing friends in the US to join and donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the advocacy group who has our backs on matters like this.
Yup, the US. Actually, no anti-cryptography anywhere, please. Didn’t we already do this like 20 years ago? As in, the “Cryptography is a weapon, which you can’t freely export, so you can’t download Netscape from the US” nonsense.
It’s slightly humiliating that, unlike the Tor Project, the EFF does not accept Monero donations while they do accept Zcash for some reason. BTC, ETH are of course accepted.
In case someone does Monero-to-other-coin at Trocador for whatever reason, consider using the affiliate link on the front page https://monero.town/ which is supposed to help Monero.town a bit (your rate shouldn’t change at all).
Yep, such a shame they don't accept XMR. I was not aware of the Trocador affiliate link, so thanks for sharing.
Maybe we better act rather than complaining here.
How many of us would make xmr donations to EFF, were that possible? We can email them asking, “Could you accept Monero? At least N of us in Monero.town (Lemmy) can make donations, but only if you accept Monero.” “Also, could you tell us why you accept Zcach but not Monero? Monero is now at least the 2nd most popular crypto actually used; many open-source devs accept xmr, or xmr & btc. Why not you? What is your stance against Monero?”
The bigger N, the more convincing, the more motivating them.
That link should be on the sidebar if its not already.
Edit:nvm, it already is. I will start using it for my monthly USDC -> Monero swaps.
