This sure clarifies the circumstances. I appreciate the explanation and went on to verify the claims.

Here are the corresponding Etherscan-links to spare others the hassle:

1. [0x2274] MONEROCHAN creation
2. [0x2274] Uniswap funding / locking
3. [0xB9A1] Buying 789,420,933 (at time of writing)
4. [0xB9A1] Burning of 383,913,580 (at time of writing)

So far I couldn’t detect any discrepancies. Note that, on Blockchair, whale.monerochan.eth appears to resolve to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, while airdrops come from 0x4642, after being funded by 0xB9A1.

Thank you for the onboarding!

The text has some … “orange” flags.

For example, burning 25% doesn’t make sense when you decided on the supply to begin with and “100 % fair distribution” isn’t possible in the given scenario.

But then again, meme coins are all about not making sense, and some play may actually lead to the desired exposure. Let’s get Monero some marketing:

This is bad news for those of us who were not only looking to give old mobile hardware a longer lifespan, but simultaneously obtain privacy and security while doing so.

The arguments provided in the blog post are rather faint and give a vibe of “holding on to last straws”, as other distributions and even BSD’s have managed to run both GNOME and KDE fine, even before pmOS.

For readers unfamiliar with systemd’s drawbacks, these resources can serve as good starting points:

Out of curiosity: Can you point to a log of the communication with the Alpine team?
