A new bill gaining momentum in Washington is absolutely the right thing to do for America, but it will cause an uproar on the Left for so many reasons. First, the bill is sponsored by Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is probably the second most hated person in America, by the Left, after Donald Trump, ... Read more

Mama Maria’s Gyros Opens In Keene

Mama Maria’s Gyros and More opened this week In Keene, New Hampshire. Mama Maria & her food truck is permanently situated at 85 Emerald Street and will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am – 3pm and from 5pm – 8pm.

When I inquired about the unusual hours Mama Maria stated that she was following a trend in downtown Keene. Apparently many restaurants are now closing during the day and re-opening in the evenings.

Mama Maria’s adds to the growing list of convenience stores, restaurants, dentists, doctors, and other establishments taking cryptocurrencies in Keene, New Hampshire. Over the past decade many new businesses have come onboard with accepting cryptocurrencies and goldbacks. Despite a rocky handful of years with various restaurants and other businesses going under due to governmental policies and restrictions on operating Keene has remained a tiny bastion of freedom and peace when it comes to businesses taking non-government pro-peace currencies.

Mama Maria’s Also Accepts Monero & Goldbacks

If your looking to grab lunch while in Keene and Mama Maria’s is closed there are also a number of other restaurants you can check out that also accept cryptocurrencies. The Mighty Moose Mart convenience store at 152 Winchester Street in Keene for instance and Little Zoe’s at 149 Emerald St, Keene, NH (Center at Colony Mill). And we can’t forget there is also the Indian Curry restaurant at 149 Emerald St (Center at Colony Mill, back side). At the moment there may be a few others I’m forgetting about as well, for instance, there is a new baker in town that has begun accepting cryptocurrencies and goldbacks in Keene this month as well, at least for those in the know (the baker operates without a license in a bit of an act of civil disobedience to Keene’s food ordinances). 

One other interesting aspect of Mama Maria’s is that not only does Mama Maria take the frequently accepted cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Dash, but she’s also taking Monero. Mama Maria’s may be only the 2nd brick and mortar business in Keene to accept the more privacy respecting cryptocurrency that has taken the internet by storm. Unlike most cryptocurrencies it’s almost impossible to trace Monero.

Monero employs several cryptographic techniques to ensure that transaction details remain hidden. These include ring signatures, stealth addresses, and ring confidential transactions (RingCT). Ring signatures combine a sender’s output with decoy outputs, making it difficult to determine the true origin of a transaction. Stealth addresses generate unique one-time addresses for recipients, ensuring transactions cannot be linked back to a public address.

 

I will concede that politicians are not a trustworthy breed. They lie about their past to enhance their present. Ask Senator Dick Bluementhal (D-CT) about his tour in Vietnam. They distort their party affiliation to make themselves attractive to more people. Ask Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, who says ... Read more
