🆕 Updates to OrangeFren.com

We have recently added tabs to find providers for swaps between fiat and crypto 💱

We currently list offers from Bisq and AgoraDesk 💔.

If you’d like to get a prepaid card 💳, without KYC, that you can add to your Google Pay or Apple Pay wallet and use around the World, then we also added those.

Want to sell more than 10k USD in crypto in exchange for physical cash 💸? Without KYC 🥸? We’ve got you covered. We recently added contact info to a trusted broker to the website. You’ll find it under the name “OrangeFren Broker Partner” when searching for offers to sell crypto

(Please remember in many jurisdictions trading P2P is legal, but you have to declare selling this much Monero, Bitcoin, or any other crypto for cash. 👮‍♂️)

🤝 OrangeFren Affiliate Programme

Lastly, we’re excited to announce the OrangeFren Affiliate Programme 🤝

The programme works by you providing us with your existing ref links to any of the services we list on the website. Then, when a user visits OrangeFren.com using your link, we’ll replace our ref links with yours for all the services that you provided us your link for.

This means, your profit share is 100%! And we never hold custody of your affiliate earnings.

You’ll find the link to join the footer of OrangeFren.com

    @OrangeFren @monero Activity in Lemmy network might have subsided since the Reddit Migration, but it is certainly not dying. Today there are 768 instances with the largest one having 18469 MAUs.
    The important thing about federation is that there is no downside. You get a regular forum with all benefits of a self-hosting, but now people don’t have to register on it in order to participate. For example, monero.town currently has 83 MAUs, and you can access that audience for free simply by using a different software.
    I previously mentioned Discourse, which has a federation plugin, but it is not the only forum engine to choose from. NodeBB is working on federation (almost finished), and Flarum too. These engines will be fully interoperable with Lemmy, and partially with micro-blogging apps like Mastodon and Threads.
    So, yeah, you’re right about this being an uncharted territory, but I see a lot of potential here
