Comment on (Possibly) Underage People can’t join Monero.town? [Age Verification / KYC]

it feels like a trap. I’m not sure of the laws on minor activities, but anyone saying “i’m a vulnerable and protected class, teach me how to do something controversial”… gives me pause (yes monero is controversial in some circles)

and? you care too much about what other people think when in reality it doesn’t matter, at all

A good point. I think most people assume cryptocurrencies = bad/scam, and they’re mostly right too. In this specific case, the OP didn’t say anything explicitly; he was looking for a way to mine xmr without age verification (so it was an easy guess that perhaps he’s a kid, but the situation was ambiguous).

I’d like to believe he’s so smart that as soon as he got all the info he needs he deleted everything (a nice move). But it’s possible that he felt unwelcome and upset, as a troll called him “freeloader” (re: mining w/ gratis electricity). Whatever. Freedom to delete your own post is important, and I’m happy to know that at least it’s not an admin who deleted it.

  There’s a lot of really negative opinions expressed on Lemmy. It’s not exactly the most welcoming community. 90% welcoming 10% fuck you. So if you’re not ready for it it’s a little rough

    Ah! Now I know the background—from where the OP came and why. Kudos.
