  • Remember that a fan does not cool the environment. It cools you due to pushing the hot air away from you, but it does not actually cool the air itself. I have a dumb window air conditioning unit in my room that I’ve connected to a smart plug and I’m using the forecast temperature from the weather provider to automate it turning on. Eventually, I think I’ll actually get a temperature sensor and switch the automation from the online forecast to the sensor instead. But the online forecast is cheaper, so that’s how I’ve at least started out.










  • Yep, with the security deposit system, the Monero buyer does not get the Monero until they have paid. And the security deposits mean people are less likely to try to run away from a trade and not pay. Zero deposit offers do exist, but the seller is the only ones who can create those. And so they can choose to not do those if they wish.

    Getting a smaller quantity or using a higher risk payment method does generally mean a higher premium.



  • In Switzerland, yes, you absolutely can walk into a grocery store and pay with Monero at the checkout counter. In the United States, you can buy an Instacart gift card and get the grocery store to deliver your food or go pick it up and pay with Monero.



  • There just aren’t many small peer-to-peer traders yet, but that will occur over time, and Kraken in the EU did have to stop selling Monero, but at least Kraken in the United States still does, although as I said I don’t expect that to last long. Don’t get me wrong, there are some small peer-to-peer traders on reto. Just not many.
