- The privacy that coins like Monero give far outweighs all the illegal uses of it, everyone has a right to privacy that shouldn't be taken away
- One of the advantages of blockchain is that we can roughly calculate how much money went into scams involving cryptocurrencies, because everything is on the public blockchain. Can the same be said for taxe evasion, bribery, corruption, drug trafficking, and other stuff that don't involve crypto?

Friendly reminder: never keep your seed together with your device, it makes it useless
Prob talked about it unfortunately. She knew enough to go looking for the hardware wallet + seed. Everything else she took was just extras. Physical altercations almost always involve prior knowledge of the victim's possessions..

Ask HN: What fuel for my data furnace?
This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

Why does purplecoin want asic friendly pow algorithm if you are advertising full node on any device?
Monero uses randomx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm. More info in the GitHub repo.

[serious] Is Monero really what investors think they would get buying Bitcoin?
Monero does not have ASICs since RandomX was implemented in 2019. CPU is the best way to mine it. See https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.
