The PM guy has already doxxed himself, moving to the DN wouldn't help him now.

Doing it right means being a darknet-only, Monero-only operation from day 1 and not getting sloppy with your OPSEC.

You gotta assume the glowies will attempt to deanonymize you by making controlled buys and then trying to narrow down where the packages are being mailed from.

The way around this is to randomize where you ship from, never use the same place twice in a row. Shiny Flakes learned this lesson the hard way:

>Two mistakes sealed Maximilian's fate. One was the insufficient postage on a package that focused investigator's attention on Leipzig. The other was laziness: Maximilian kept using the same package station that was situated close to his house to send and receive drug parcels. He would take taxis to package station 145, which was under video surveillance. He always ordered these taxis using a cell phone he used exclusively for this purpose. More than a dozen cell phones and more than two dozen SIM cards were discovered in his room, demonstrating a high amount of effort put into logistics and organization, which continuously grew as the volume of his business did—allegedly hitting 4.1 million euros revenue per year as of February 2015.

An even better solution is using remailers, basically mailing packages to trusted partners around the country who then repackage and ship to the actual customer. But that obviously drives up shipping costs.

Given that and the very thin profit margins we're dealing with here, customers buying PMs on the darknet are simply going to have to accept somewhat higher prices, consider it the cost of doing business in a high stakes, zero-KYC environment. If you're using PMs to cash out, just call it a "privacy tax" and be grateful its not the 25%+ rate the IRS would rape you for.

Literally would have gotten away with it if he just traded it all into monero then used it for whatever. Imagine being smart enough to wire fraud 3.36 billies and not smart enough to use our orange queen.

Safety in numbers, LE doesn't give a shit about recreational buyers.

>kek, we don't need that kind of publicity. we already have enough adoption problems because normies see monero as the scary drug money
FUCK THE NORMIES.

amen, this is only good for XMR. blessed positive take.

I think the only challenge from there is finding exchanges, but DEXes will be our last bastion.

>>52459098
Reminder that XMR is overperforming compared to BTC

KEK. Is this why Monero is delisted from most of them?

>Many claims are centered on the fact that, in terms of tech, it is backward

lol "claims". Monero upgrades constantly, we actually just updated Bulletproofs to BP+.

There is nothing "backward" about Monero's tech, it is established tech that has proven itself reliable over many years of adversarial battle-testing, as opposed to the more exotic ZKP variants that still come with disclaimers.


>outperform it.

They have to win the darknet over first, which is the de facto kingmaker when it comes to privacy tech.

Salty bagholders with big dreams.

>Couldn’t the government just compromise the dev team if they wanted to hurt XMR?

How? Most of the core team have remained anonymous and don't even submit code directly.


>Like install a zero day vulnerability to tank the value to 0 when it gets found out?

All the incoming code gets audited by multiple pairs of eyeballs.


>Seems a lot more efficient than trying to ban it

Real life ain't like the movies, kid.

>Can you access pokerclub through Tor?

Well yeah, both sites are darknet sites i.e. only accessible over Tor, would be perilous otherwise.

>It could definitely catch on, completely anonymous poker without anyone knowing? The propositions and marketing write themselves, it's that easy. Just another market for XMR to conquer.

Yep, Tor shields your identity while Monero shields the money trail, win/win. Bitcoin simply cannot compete.

The infrastructure exits, the lack of activity really seems to be down to just lack of awareness, its exceedingly hard to market darknet vice to normies who never leave the clearnet. It's why I listed Poker Club in the services list, the more people that are aware of the option the more people will use it and tell their normie friends, which gets them buying Monero and trying it out, rinse & repeat.........

They just came through with the audit.
