What exactly does sandboxing limit on macOS?

> Grassroots?

Monero has no premine, dev tax and is a 100% open source project with volunteer contributors. It's about as grassroots as it gets in the cryptocurrency space.

> so the vast majority of XRM was "mined" by a small group of traditional speculative capitalists.

While the cripple mine happened, it only lasted a couple weeks and all of these coins were sold at market value. Monero was worthless for the first couple years.

Monero has a tail emission / infinite supply making it fairer than fixed supply coins.

Isn’t WSL2 basically a virtual machine with better integration? Is it still super slow when accessing /mnt?

I can also install something like multipass on macOS if I want a good integrated virtual machine.

> Ancient versions of all the tooling. Command-line utils have that weird BSD well-water flavor. No package management.

Can be easily fixed by installing homebrew. Also you claim it is a shitty Unix experience while complaining about BSD flavoured tools.

> Funny Docker quirks.

How is that Unix related? BSD has similar issues.

Maybe you should have written the GNU/Linux experience is pretty shitty on macOS but no one claimed otherwise.

If you only use the GUI then yes, but csrutil allows you to disable it even further.

It is still possible to disable secure boot using csrutil. Apple has never officially supported booting Linux on a Mac.

iOS differentiates between this since iOS 10:

Also iOS 14 has new clipboard related APIs to further check the content without actually accessing it.

Apple ARM will support kexts.

No, that’s not what my comment intended to say. While some exchanges say they will ignore everything after a few hops, blockchain analysis companies can track them fine. Moving Bitcoins between wallet is not anonymity and does not give you plausible deniability against law enforcement.

Are blockchain analysis companies able to detect what you are describing? Yes. Is it possible that exchanges say we ignore everything after n amount of hops? Also yes. It depends on what exchanges specify.

The amount of hops is irrelevant for blockchain analysis.

See the following tweet by the author:

“Compared to privacy coins Wasabi is just a temporary hack. I think without Confidential Transactions, as the transaction fees grow, privacy will be priced out of Bitcoin's main chain.”

Here is an example for a perfectly private Bitcoin transaction: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy#Example_-_A_perfectly_pri...

Solo-mining a block is basically impossible these days. Also I would assume all remaining Bitcoin mixers are honeypots. You can get some degree of privacy in Bitcoin with coinjoin but it is slow, cumbersome, has high fees and is not a proper solution for decentralised cash. There is also the possibility of ending up with tainted Bitcoins.

I also disagree that you only need privacy for “unsafe” transactions. Everyone has a right to privacy in their day to day life.

Bitcoin being private is a misconception, it is pseudonymous at best. There are other projects like Monero or Zcash that are trying to solve this.

Apparently RAM and SSD are no longer soldered.
