# CryptoDecentral

> Tools for a sovereign internet. Education and directory for self-custody, privacy money (Monero-class), Nostr, Autonomi, permissionless markets, Bitcoin/Lightning (receive tips only), and decentralized AI.

CryptoDecentral is a South Africa–rooted public site (https://cryptodecentral.co.za). Contact: bruce@cryptodecentral.co.za. It is educational only — not an FSP/CASP, not financial advice, not a custody or exchange service. DYOR.

This file follows emerging llms.txt conventions so agents can discover trustworthy sovereign-tech context quickly.

## Notes (MDX under /content/notes)

- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/fcmp-full-chain-membership-proofs: From Rings of 16 to the Whole Chain: What FCMP++ Changes — Monero-class privacy already hides recipients, amounts, and spenders with a small ring. Full-chain membership proofs aim to replace that fixed decoy set with membership across the ledger — without a forced address migration.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/lightning-receive-only-tips: Receive-Only Lightning Is Not a Merchant Stack — Most Lightning talk collapses into shop tills or routing businesses. Receive-only tips need a payable request, inbound capacity, and often a static entry point — not a merchant stack.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/autonomi-self-encryption-datamap: Autonomi Without the Data Map Is Just Scattered Ciphertext — Most decentralized storage talk collapses into cloud with a token. Autonomi’s educational core is client-side self-encryption, the Data Map, and pay-once content-addressed writes.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/self-custody-verify-before-trust: Self-Custody Without Verify-Before-Trust Is a Slogan — Not your keys, not your coins is still the right first sentence. It is also incomplete — keys only stay yours if software, addresses, and assumptions are things you can check.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/nostr-nip11: NIP-11: How Nostr Relays Advertise What They Can Do — Nostr is often introduced as notes and other stuff transmitted by relays. That slogan is accurate and incomplete. Clients speak a small event protocol; relays decide what they store.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/decentralized-local-ai: Local and Peer-to-Peer AI: Data Residency Without the Hype — Most people meet large language models through a browser tab or an API key. That path is convenient: someone else owns the GPUs, the ops, and the uptime. It is also a trust and dependency bargain.
- https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/monero-class-privacy: What Transparent Ledgers Leak — and Why On-Chain Privacy Matters — Most public blockchains advertise transparency as a virtue. That claim is half-true. Anyone can verify the rules of the system; anyone can also scrape a permanent graph of who paid whom.
