You are not exactly right, but going in the right direction. Not having a forwarded port means you aren’t ‘connectable’ by peers as your firewall will block incoming traffic. What this means is that only ‘connectable’ peers will be able to connect to you (your client can reach out to them as their port is forwarded). You are however invisible to peers that also aren’t ‘connectable’. You might also experience some degradation in time to connect as people can’t reach out to you.

To sum it up:

• Not connectable =X= not connectable (impossible)
• Not connectable =>= connectable (degraded time to connect when seeding)
• Connectable === connectable (perfect)

Didn’t mullvad stop port forwarding? That ain’t great for seeding.

Nothing removed for me, that’s gotta be some instance specific thing. Censored word was b1tch

Look up the guy who made “actual cannibal Shia Labeouf”… Interesting transition there too

Not to mention even a small delay could mess up the timing of taking the next bus/train. For not too busy routes it could mean waiting in the cold for half an hour… If that next bus has a good delay you could be there for almost an hour. (Totally not speaking from personal experience)

To be fair they’re striking because checks notes their special treatment is ending.

A errr friend told me they even got the entire series in a single torrent there

It’s more of a “we want to make sure that this user we’re inviting would be a good member i.e. good ratio/not selling invites”

Not sure if blocking/whitelisting providers is even feasible. Just about every big company uses VPN to let employees connect to the intranet

The current transaction costs for monero are 0.000006XMR, which translates to about $0.001 per transaction.

The costs you have to look out for are the buy and withdrawal fees of the crypto exchange you’re using. If you’re in the EU you should also know a lot of platforms do not allow trading to/from XMR.

Not affiliated with them, but MEXC works in the EU and has a 0 fee XMR withdrawal.

The gold standard for anonymous payments is still crypto for now, monero can’t be tracked in any way. Besides, it has really low transaction costs.
