You're brave for spending time online these days without a VPN :D data harvesting is a real challenge! As far as privacy goes, I've heard that iVPN, Mullad and Proton are the best in terms of privacy from a privacy group that I have grown to like. I take it with a grain of salt but they aren't sponsored by any of those companies so I find some legitimacy in their review.
It is definitely challenging that we have a very limited option for Hive. I believe @edicted uses a different one but I don't know if it's only accessible with a VPN.
I know there have been a bunch of people here who have tried to work with exchanges to get Hive listed. They have a lot of issues with us as a platform, one that it is decentralized and no central entity. Two is that we are low volume and low market cap. Three is that they can't set up crazy market makers / takers to do wild swings in prices. I'm sure there are maybe one or two more but that is what I recall from memory.
I believe it was https://peakd.com/hive-111111/@crimsonclad/shutting-down-the-followbtcnews-witness-or-crim-what-do-you-even-do-around-here that talked about the challenges with getting exchanges to get onboard with Hive.
Hah thanks for the tips but I have been using a VPN for over a decade now for surfing the web. But when it comes to accessing financial websites its not legal.
Wireguard is one I am looking into right now. Will do a post about it when I have some updates.. Its nice because you can host your own VPN using it... usually for half or less the price of what VPN providers charge.
Haha ok I was gonna say no VPN?!
That’s cool about wire guard, I know a lot of these things are pretty straight forward these days in terms of setting up your own stuff. You just gotta do it is the trick.
I’ll try to keep an eye out for the post about it!
