There is also the question of where to put Placozoa, they still might be the true sister group to all others. But these are so simple and little known that there might just not be enough data to know for sure. If we disregard Placozoa, I would also have bet on the sponge-sister scenario.
> Try2Check, one of the cybercrime underground’s most trusted services for checking the validity of stolen credit card data
I know nothing about carding, but how does it actually work? How is that website able to verify a card's validity, and why can't competitors easily build a similar service?
This was also my understanding. I think he became some kind of leader in the Monero community at some point, but he isn't the founder. I think Monero was originally forked from some other project (Bytecoin?).
> The reason stores use credit payment networks in the West is because it’s better. We have cash transferring apps but we don’t use them for a reason.
In many (most?) European countries, debit cards and cash transfering apps are more common than credit-based payments. I have a credit card but I don't use it often (mostly for some online transactions, such as buying plane tickets), and many people only have a debit card.

That one in particular, I was almost offended when I learnt during a DEI training that it could be construed as insensitive/racist of me to use that idiom.
English is not my native language, and is not an official language of my country. I work for a local branch of a large US tech company, and the working language is English, which I'm perfectly fine with. But when we get subjected to DEI training material which was very obviously made for an American audience, even though nobody in this office is a native English speaker, I think it goes too far and ironically becomes slightly insensitive in its own way.
