I can't help but being sceptical that this is based on a cryptocurrency. There are some good ideas in nym, but I'll stick with Tor for now.

I use Debian stable on desktop and it's pretty great. It's more up to date than Ubuntu LTS, and there wasn't any extra tinkering needed in my case (and I'm a developer).

Granted, Stable used to be always very stale, even to the point of being nicknamed Debian Stale, but something has happened in recent years and it's rarely the case anymore. A new release every two years helps, I guess.

Pretty funny how Jerboa turns your version numbers into links to IP addresses :-) I would prefer if it didn't do that, I imagine it's rarely the intention.

I don't know if you've heard about Lightning Network, but this is a layer on top of the bitcoin blockchain that is much more suitable for small payments. That's how I do most of my bitcoin payments now, and while it's still a maturing technology, it mostly works well. Transactions are fast and inexpensive.
