Facts or Guides
Run a Snowflake Proxy
Snowflake is a system to defeat internet censorship. People who are censored can use Snowflake to access the internet. You can help people in censored countries by running a Snowflake proxy either by installing an extension in your browser, using the command-line version or enabling the embedded version on snowflake.torproject.org. Experimental way for mobile devices is to install the Orbot application (F-Droid, GitHub, iOS) and enable "Run Snowflake Proxy" in the settings.
Merchants

Kuyumcu XMR/Nano Swap is where you can instantly swap your sweet Moneroj to Nano cryptocurrency or vice-versa. Nano is a new type of cryptocurrency with zero fees and instant payments; Keep in mind that Nano doesn't have the same privacy luxury as Monero.

Their GitHub repo is available here. Please note that Tor Browser developers advise not to install any additional extension into their browser, LibreWolf and Brave seem to be fine.

Found anything worth noting? Want to send something to be included in the next issue? Want to chat about something?
You can contact me on XMPP and Matrix. Be aware that Matrix is centralized due to the fact that most people make an account on Matrix.org operated by the Matrix Foundation - That's a lot of metadata controlled unjust by just one entity.
