Do you ever to conference talks or similar here in SA? :D I see some talks about BTC and ETH but never XMR.
I spoke at the Joburg Bitcoin Meetup in June (http://www.meetup.com/The-Johannesburg-Bitcoin-Company/), that was fun. I refuse to speak at the "Blockchain Africa Conference" since they're borderline scammers, their conference is basically just a bunch of startups that paid to be there speaking about their startup, and they also claim to have "banned" me since I called out nearly every speaker when I attended the first one in 2015:-P

Hi fluffypony,

Thanks for taking part in the AMA and for dropping back in from time to time.

How do you feel about a couple of the darknet markets announcing that they will soon be allowing their members to carry out transactions using Monero?
Do you see this as a positive step forward for Monero or do you think it may bring with it some undesired attention and bad press?

There is no shortage of bad actors ;)

On the other hand, congrats on Monero!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see a good campaign for adoption from both people and businesses. This would really help Monero!

This is not really a question, but I would like to share my opinion about XMR.
Monero is an amazing project, you did a great job but the crypto-community need proofs that XMR is strong (as strong as BTC) and because of rumors on twitter / bitcointalk about security issues and 0days, lots of people hesitate.

What can you tell me about this ?

Will CryptoNight always be for the casual user, or do you support the development of ASIC's too?
Kind regards,
Jake

Do you think Bitcoin will ever be private?

Hi.

Good Day!

I'm Robin from Philippines due to the pandemic COVID-19 we are totally luck-down and it is not easy to us to work and it almost two months now. Due to this i am asking your generous heart to send a little amount of BTC (Satoshi) in my account: 39wXSSUHh47wHay2G6oTq7deBs6L7KBxLe

I believe this little amount if it put into one will be a great help for us.

Thank you and more power to your company.
