No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I always been kinda interested and even fascinated by decentralized currency, thought that it was a cool idea, and then seen how it was absolutely mauled by scams, money laundering and predatory practices in general to the point when even thinking about it was gross. And I kinda forgot about it for a while.

But recently there appeared a need for me to actually use cryptocurrency (I want to pay for vds where I host my proxy, without linking my credit card), so I started researching what exist now on the market of wallets, and was rather disappointed: most surface level projects are in-browser always online with "super slick ultra cool design" bullshit with the focus on trading. So, I thought about asking more experienced people (that are not some random cryptobros). Here are my requirements:

  • must store all the sensetive data localy on a device as much as possible
  • must be open-source
  • must have desktop app as main (if it has a complimentary mobile app that's fine, but the central point of operation must be desktop app)
  • ideally supports all main stable-coins
  • ideally doesn't have pretentious trading crap, nft shit etc.
  • ideally have a non-bullshit, straight to the point interface (along the lines of monero wallet I guess)

Also, I think I need to mention that I'm somewhat techsavy, but I'm not super experienced with cryptocurrency, so I'm open to learning things about it. Maybe some of my points are impossible due to how technology works, but I hope I got the "vector" of my wishes across.

P.S. Sorry for such a long post and thank you if you set aside the time to read it and respond.

Monero, digital cash. Not really a solution for your open source wallet that supports all the major coins. But if you're looking strictly at it from a perspective of avoiding the Ponzi schemes, encouraging digital cash, fungible money, untraceable, the closest analog to digital physical cash you can find. Monero. https://www.getmonero.org/

There are a few open source wallets for monero, most of them are open source, keep the data locally.

I considered making a monero wallet, but the problem is, that I'm not sure if my vps provider supports payments in monero. Although if it is, it's the best option

It would be best to first check which tokens are accepted by your VPS provider, and start the brainstorming from there.
