RE: [ANN] BlockTrades is now buying/selling Monero

in #blocktrades6 years ago

Well done! Never thought I would see the day.

There is now an easy way for steemit users to regain financial privacy by converting their SBD/STEEM to what is essentially the only fungible cryptocurrency.

This is a much bigger deal than most people realize, unfortunately it might take until people start getting investigated after receiving tainted BTC/insertnonfungiblecryptohere from some shady character and then trying to cash out at a centralized exchange, to viscerally understand why a public blockchain is a really bad idea.

Well, all that aside, a practical question: Are you supporting sub-addresses that were officially introduced with v0.12 ? They begin with 8 instead of 4.

If not, may I recommend focusing attention on adding them, as this further protects the users' privacy by allowing the user to generate a new sub-address for each conversion through blocktrades.

The sub-addresses cannot be linked together at the blockchain level, so I'm sure the advantage to this is very clear.

This development is somewhat bittersweet to me as I've cashed out of STEEM/SBD due to reasons not worth going into here, so there is no practical use left for me personally, but I still felt the need to login and congratulate @blocktrades on adding XMR, this is a step in the right direction. It absolutely is.

We need to take our privacy back, because no one else will do it for us.

So thank you for making that possible for thousands and thousands of steem users.

Really.
