Feel free the share the group join link far and wide. As far as I am concerned, the more Monero enthusiasts in there, the better.

Simplex is doing good things nowadays. Here is a monero group that I created in order to test it. Feel free to join in and test simplex:
Will this new video platform you are working on be decentralized?
We need to go back to torrents so bad.. Torrenting had solved the question of sharing video files some time ago.
Bonus points for i2p + torrenting. Qbittorrent v4.6rc has i2p integration baked in.
Don't know about bcash but btc is surely paying that discount amount to the clogged mempool miners' fee!
Try to use localmonero as much as possible. That way, you will be stimulating the local monero sellers in your area. Much better than relying on faceless corpos for your XMR hit.
If that is not possible/expensive/etc. you can always get some LTC on a centralized or decentralized exchange and use the in-wallet exchange services of stackwallet.com or cakewallet.com
LTC has cheaper transactions fees compared to BTC. That makes LTC a better onramp onto XMR.
With hyperinflation, anything's possible..
If the killer app of crypto is degen gambling, then the current centralized exchanges provide that use-case to degen masses quite well.
So what? Case closed. The end? No need to develop monero, seraphis, nor full membership proofs, as they are wholly unnecessary to the degens gambling shit(coins)?
Even though the killer app is gambling degenerately, this is not the whole application of crypto. Remember, Silk Road "made a killing" back in 2012 and it didn't involve degen gambling.
There might be more than one "killer app" for the crypto (and especially for XMR), which are visible (attractive) to the masses during different time and different places. Let's explore them all and hopefully get an ever increasing number of people to our side of the political debate (which is, personal freedom and liberty, sound monetary policy and personal financial privacy).
I noted down this pro-active approach. Sounds useful.
Most of the times, the problem isn't the lack of platform, imo. Of course, I do appreciate a free and open source alternative to meetup.com (and maybe we should set up one), but mainly these platforms remain invisible to the general public.
However, I also believe, somehow the ball should get rolling. Maybe using these alternatives will make them more visible to the general public audience. Who knows?
Good to see these. I am also trying to kick start a regular Monero meetup here in Turkiye.
I see that you guys are organizing without meetup.com ? That's good, because meetup.com 's fees are unreasonably high. You are planning to spread the word via twitter? or some-platform else?
Weren't you hosting this server out in the baltics? Why are you still beholden to the german """ laws""" ?
