I'm familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn't clear to me how they related to those VPNs.
I'm all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don't accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.
Just an FYI, if I'm suspicious and I've only interacted with you once, I'm sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you're so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.
Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.
I'm paranoid by choice. I'm choice of such because I'd rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.
Ok, and how are they a "snitch VPN"? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?
I don't have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I've just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.
No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don't take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.
So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?
You read shit that ain't there. That rock ain't psychic despite thinking whatever the fuck you think.
