The work of a disgruntled #builder ? Pay dispute with the main #contractor, or someone angry because they think the #houses will be used for #migrants or social tenants?
Either way, a #JCB isn't that easy to drive unless you've done it before, and it looks like the perpetrator knows enough about #construction to cause the most damage

@nielso das Problem an #wero ist dass es anders als #PayPal nicht #global verfügbar ist und nur im #SEPA-Raum und nicht als #Webseite.
Wer nur #Europa abdeckt hat keine PayPal-Alternative geschaffen, sondern effektiv ein schlechteres #JCB / #UnionPay / #DinersClub / #Discover released.
@dideldum @leachimus +9001%
Der #Euro hat signifikante Vorteile für alle aber besonders #Deutschland gehabt, weil anders als #DMark keine #Umtausch-Industrie in der #EU und durch Harmonisierung deutsche Produkte billiger wurden, was bei der deutschen Exportwirtschaft vorteilhaft ist.
#wero muss sich #global behaupten können, sonst wird es bestenfalls ne nationale oder regionale Option sein wie #WeChatPay, #AliPay, #UnionPay, #JCB & #Mir, und damit kein #Wettbewerber zu #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard & #PayPal.
#wirecard war zwar nen #Betrug, aber die boten sich #global an, und solange #B2B nicht Muster mit wero auf #Alibaba / #AliExpress kaufen können und #Kleinanzeigen.de & #eBay nicht wero in "Sicher Bezahlen" unterstützt wird's sich nicht durchsetzen können.
(Okay, das war zwar @EUCommission aber das Prinzip ist gleich...)
#Zahlungsmittel sind #Infrastruktur, sogar #KritischeInfrastruktur und @BaFin täte gut daran offene, dezentrale Standards und Lösungen zu fördern und fordern. Gern auch in Zusammenarbeit mit @bundesbank@social.bund.de & @ecb ...

@maxi but then again: Neither endorsement nor advice.
If it was my decision, the block rate would be at 1 second so it was fast enough for checkouts at a cashier with 3+ confirmations.
OFC nothing prevents a traditional #PaymentProcessor from accepting #Monero 
instead of or besides #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard, #Maestro, #girocard, #AliPay, #JCB, #UnionPay, #ApplePay, #SamsungPay, #GooglePay, #SMSpayment or even #GeldKarte besides their stubbornness to remain irreplaceable middle-men.
Also sending love to one of my favourite novels on the #JCB shortlist, Sheela Tomy's Valli:
"Kalluvayal is a real place. It’s my own village where I was born. It is also every village in the Western Ghats. Wherever nature is exploited by man’s greed, there is a Kalluvayal."
A very appropriate photo for Boris "dead in a ditch" Johnson.
Get digging, boyo.
