Title.

I've used it before, but I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Would you use it on a day-to-day basis?

Yup, it's sad. Oxen is/was a Monero fork, with some actual privacy. Now their pivot to a centralized, VC-backed PoS like Eth that has no privacy is just overall disappointing. It more or less confirms my earlier suspicions that Session devs only care about enriching themselves. The "Sybil resistance" excuse for requiring such a high amount of capital to contribute a node is just a bunch of BS.

all good points.

yeahh i completely forgot that oxen is a monero fork. damn, the concepts behind the network were really good, the ideas and everything, and had a huge amount of potential, but just terrible choice after choice althroughout the implementation. sad indeed.
