Coinbase saw what happened to the US Bank Smartly and said "yes, we want to copy that."

fwiw the card looks cool.

Monero is a cryptocurrency with strong privacy properties by default, but your wallet still needs a way to connect privately to the network. The best solution is to run your own Monero node, a copy of the blockchain which allows you to connect without anyone else knowing when you're using your wallet or sending transactions.

Our latest tutorial showcases how to easily set up your own Monero node on your TrueNAS server, using MAGIC Grants's pre-packaged Monero apps: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/06/12/monero-server-using-truenas/

The recent two blog posts by @soatok about @session messenger are about a theoretical attack, not a practical one.

I discuss this in more detail here:

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/don-t-use-session-signal-fork-article/24006/39

If this concerns you, you should use Signal, which does not have this issue. @privacyguides primarily recommends #Signal #SimpleX and #Briar, and it only recommends #Element and #Session if the primary options are infeasible for some reason.
