re: startup/business question
@Viss AIUI the banks / EU anti-money-laundering / counter-terror-financing required a sort of 'chain of custody' report when converting cryptoassets to fiat. This is impossible with Monero so they just stopped allowing it.

@Viss so not been pressured to take cryptocurrency but chose to take it from the start. Plumbing was a bit more difficult than say setting up Stripe but nothing too bothersome. Haven't cashed any of it out tho because FCA banned Monero.

My .onion TLS certificate renewal hitting the transparency logs brings all the bots to the yard. And they're like, "ohh darknet" Damn right... I've lost my train of thought. Anyway, happy renewal-day to https://hzwjmjimhr7bdmfv2doll4upibt5ojjmpo3pbp5ctwcg37n3hyk7qzid.onion the very first Gen3 .onion to get a TLS cert issued (not the first .onion ever to get one of course)
