Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a user willingly providing a view key.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptocurrencies. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier to entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward gradually approached 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

P2Pool combines the advantages of pool and solo mining; you still fully control your Monero node and what it mines, but you get frequent payouts like on a regular pool.

P2Pool has no central server that can be shutdown/blocked because it uses a separate blockchain to merge mine with Monero. There's no pool admin that can control what your hashrate is used for or decide who can mine on the pool and who can't. It's permissionless!

Decentralized pool mining (P2Pool) is pretty much the ultimate way to secure a PoW coin against 51% attacks. When P2Pool reaches 51% of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.


>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL DIRECTLY FROM THE MONERO GUI WALLET!

If you have a PC or laptop:

1. Download Monero GUI

OTHERWISE SWITCH TO A SMALLER POOL, IT TAKES YOU 30 SECONDS AND YOU CAN JUST SOURCE A DIFFERENT CONFIG FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK UP YOUR EXISTING ONE.

Many inexperienced miners think that big pools give better profits which is not the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.

>The irrational exuberance of cryptocurrency investors

Irrational exuberance is characterized as a hype-fueled mania that causes investors to massively overestimate an asset's real-world value. In this delusional state, investors tend to become so smitten with expectations of greater profits that they disregard the assets’ potentially weak fundamentals and drink the proverbial Kool-Aid.

This then leads to them recklessly and repeatedly buying into whatever asset is currently rising in the charts, thereby triggering and/or sustaining an asset bubble. This bubble is kept inflated solely by the mass delusion that the market price is justified and will only keep going up in future, effectively becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Note that bubbles can last for years, especially in an age of easy investor on-boarding. However, when history inevitably repeats and the bubble bursts that optimism invariably turns into panic as the asset crashes back down to its real-world value.

In finance, the "greater fool theory" suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets—items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value—if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.

This effect is often further exacerbated by herd mentality, whereby people hear stories of others who bought in early and made big profits, causing those who did not buy to feel a fear of missing out.

>No tail emission = Bitcoin is fucked

Right now, at the current hashrate, miners break even on energy expenses at a BTC price of $22K. Post 2024 halving, that break even point, at the current hashrate, goes up to $44K. If BTC does not go to $44K, miners will be unprofitable and hashrate will have to drop (miners going out of business) to reduce the cost of securing the network, also reducing the security.

If you know anything about the power of 2, you already know that things get very big, very fast. If we’re 3 halvings into 32 total halvings, then the estimated break even point for miners at current hashrate going into the last halving would be:

$22,000 * (2^27) = $2,952,790,016,000 per BTC

$2,952,790,016,000 per BTC * 21 Million total Bitcoin = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings Bitcoin would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per Bitcoin and a $62 quintillion market cap to sustain the current cost of $7.15 billion/year.

Even if these numbers were somehow realistic, can you imagine securing a $62 quintillion market cap on only $7.15 billion/year of hashrate? LOL.

And that’s assuming energy costs do not increase at all over the next 120 years, which they will.

So basically BTC mining will eventually become so unprofitable the hashrate (network security) will shrivel up UNLESS it is subsidized by BTC transaction fees.

If this happens, say because institutional money leaves and miners no longer have a stranglehold on the Bitcoin devs, do you think there's a chance that Bitcoin implements a lot of Monero's features, like CPU mining, variable block size, encrypted transactions, etc?

no.
you have to understand that bitcoin's most prominent feature is that its code base is ossified. apart from catastrophic bug fixing it's simply impossible to propose any fundamental change on bitcoin without creating schism in the community (more forks). having the blockchain being transparent is a feature, the status quo, and it's simply not going to become opaque no matter how much you or anyone else want it.
people, institutions, governments, regulators, influencers, all of these people operate under bitcoin being transparent. it won't change. it can't without causing a "civil war" of sorts like it happened with bitcoin cash, and the transparent-version will win because it will be what all exchanges will list because they're in bed with regulators and the government.
it's really that simple.

The bitcoin fundamentalists are few and far-between. The have been outnumbered by the get-rich-quick types for a while now. This will not stop the price of bitcoin from sliding.

No. They won't even raise the block size since the BCH dispute, so now they need to justify that and will only make soft forks going forwards. Anyone who thought hard forks were a good idea has moved onto BCH, XMR, LTC, others. The remaining bitcoin users are religiously against hardforks. That's what the lightning network is all about, it's about arrogance and brain drain. Go on bitcoin forums like stacker.news and see how ignorant they are. Bitcoin is perfect apparently, and always has been. And this is just the minority of bitcoin users which understand anything about it. Also they think coinjoin works, or at least its very existence makes them feel like strong privacy-by-default is unnecessary, because privacy is just a check-box for them. So no.

lol no, maxipads have been reminding us for years that BTC never hardforking is a feature, not a bug. The loss of credibility would be immense.

But say they did: it would just be seen as a desperate attempt to stay relevant, Team BTC has had many years and multiple opportunities to show that they take privacy seriously e.g. ZeroCoin, Confidential TXs, Dandelion+, they passed on ALL of them.

When the tech you're relying on to keep you out of prison is being by developed by people who treat privacy as an afterthought that they'll "get to eventually" it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Conversely, Team Monero has an obsessive commitment to privacy and it is prioritized in every consideration and trade off, even if it means getting delisted or outright outlawed.

They ought to make an onion network that uses RandomX for sybil resistance, and just make it so that every packet takes 256 hops. That's probably why all the markets are down. Like who minds waiting a couple minutes for a site to load if it prevents future assrape in jail?
And also have bittorrent-like or ipfs-like system for static pages.

It's not debunkable, because you're asking me to prove that something doesn't exist. There could be an inflation bug in BTC for all we know. But until there is no evidence of an inflation bug so far.
Monero's cryptography is more reliable than that of Zcash and others, and the monero devs take great caution where other cryptocurrencies don't (for example https://www.ccn.com/cryptonote-currency-bug-allowed-creation-unlimited-number-coins/).). The code is audited by multiple parties (https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2751/what-type-of-security-audits-has-monero-received).). Monero's codebase is not very bloated, there is no scripting system for example, which was responsible for a BTC inflation bug. But that doesn't make it impossible that there are bugs, just very unlikely.
The bigger picture is that an "inflation bug" means the currency is fundamentally broken because you can probably double spend. So "inflation" is really the least of our issues if it comes to light. It is a bitcoiner talking point

i have benefitted in several ways by the standard 5-6 regular posts at the beginning of the XMR general threads, and in fact when i see other anons asking questions directly about XMR or indirectly i find it quite useful to link to the XMR general thread which usually involves a reply to one of the standard first 6 posts in these threads.

ill upload a 2 minute tutorial video voiced by some anime girl from fiverr showing you how to go from fiat to xmr in the same amount of time.
this leaked thing that probably won't pass anyways doesn't even attempt to ban p2p transactions and that's why it has basically zero effect (besides maybe killing off paper xmr but ZC doesnt give a damn about EU law anyways).

Yes. The peristent USB disk partition will be encrypted in TailsOS anyways. Pick a good/strong passphrase for it, and you will be OK.

However, I would receommend using Feather Wallet instead of the GUI one. Feather is a lot easier to use with TailsOS imo. CHeck this guide:

The same guide also contains using Monero GUI with TailsOS, too. Check that too and decide for yourself.

Dropped by to say that Monero fags in this board are the most based, thundercocked Chads and the only ones that are going to make it. You have to be a literal retard to not see it.

Increasing regulations due to FTC collapse and CBDC bullshit will smother the more mainstream cryptocurrencies. Also with the collapse more people are cold storing their cryptos which will eventually lead to low supply.

>Pedos are still gonna buy kiddie porn from the FBI
>Drug and arms dealers will still be trying to silkroad 2.0

Monero is the crypto to go for that. With the regulations and the supply being slowly locked due to all that’s happening, we won’t even need a bullrun for this to take off. It’s going to happen.

The moment XMR becomes banned in western countries and/or yurop is when you'll witness a major catalyst to a downfall that could go down to $45.

However I think XMR is genuinely one of those coins that you don't actually care too deeply about the price. Because it has real utility and the anonymity you get is... it's worth any price loss to be honest, as long as it doesn't reach 2016 levels of fatal, it should perform well in the long-term.

People have this misconstrued idea that regulation can stop a blockchain, those same people have no idea what tor or i2p is and that it's pretty easy for anybody with at least an SAT score of 400 or IQ score of 65 to have a functioning tor node.

Bulletproofs++ research paper is going to be peer-review'ed. If it is mathematically sound, it has the potential to reduce the transaction size ~27% !

Current 1-in 2-out transaction in monero is around 1.5 kB in size. So, this would bring the size down to around 1 kB.

That would be great.

I've never used bisq but I think you need some extra bitcoin as collateral or something before you can start exchanging. But DEXes are better for privacy. Using a swap service like ChangeNow works fine too, but just know that it's clearnet and they log all transactions with your IP and your browser metadata. This is important because if you bought your bitcoin from Coinbase after doing KYC verification, and you swapped it at an instant exchange, that's considered a taxable event under US laws and could fuck you over down the road when the IRS wants that tax money. Not reporting that trade, coupled with the fact that it was exchanged for monero of all coins, is enough for them to charge you with tax fraud and/or money laundering.

This hasn't really happened to people yet but you know it will.

Discreet has the same problem Z-cash does, in that it's not private by default. Worse, it's selling presale tokens with the plan to later premine their blockchain and redeem the BSC for the premine.

Obviously, stay far the fuck away from something that has tokens you CANNOT SELL YET. That's just common sense. If it turns out to not be a total waste, you can grab a small bag later, once the market can actually price the tokens correctly.

>Regulators won't keep permanent tabs on your transactions, they do so only when there is a flag on your wallet and if they can have access to your transactions with the view key options, I see no breach with that. Would you rather have your transactions open to public view by some unathourized persons?
I consider "Regulators" to be unauthorized persons.
Also, Monero already has view keys.

>On the contrary, privacy protocols will enhance blockchain adoption
More things using blockchain technology would be inefficient.
Blockchain's only real use-case is as a Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Payment system, anything else is unnecessary, and can already be done better with programs that don't use blockchains.

>because some normies have not adopted crypto because of privacy concerns as it is an essential trait of an average human except for a few chuds like you
Normies haven't adopted Cryptocurrency because normies are too confused in this space as they don't know what Crypto is supposed to be, they see shit like Doge coin, Etherium, NFTs, and Web3 as confusing, and rightfully so.
They don't care about any of this shit, they just know that Crypto = Bitcoin, and that Bitcoin = scary internet hacker money, and everything about Crypto in the media reinforces this line of thinking.
If a normie actually cared about privacy, they wouldn't be a normie.

So the next time you want to come into our thread and claim that you care about "privacy platforms", then why don't you get off your tranny discord, and run a fucking node.
What kind of node? idk, but clearly you are very big on privacy, so you'll figure it out.

jberman has submitted a ccs request for helping the seraphis jamtis network upgrade work:

https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/359

This upgrade is an important one as it will improve monero network's capabilities, and it will include major changes to the network.
Thus, the more eyes are on it, the more coders are working on it, the better.

Bitcoin was taken over by blockstream jews. They saw where btc was going and that it would be a threat to their system so they used blockstream to take it over and control it. That's why they didn't raise the block size. they didn't want bitcoin to scale so they could collect more fees from the network. then they created LN which is too complicated to use and that was just a distraction anyway. Bitcoin Cash is unironically the true bitcoin but no one cares so whatever. Monero is better in every way so.

No you are not being schizo and your concerns are definitely sound ones.

For buying without KYC, you have several options:
- localmonero.co
- bisq.network
- coinatmradar.com (check for monero atm's)

Or, you can buy btc, ltc, and swap those into XMR without KYC:

- orangefren.com
- trocador.app
- monero.com

And many more.
Welcome fren. Keep it no-KYC. Keep your keys on your own monero wallet.

For convenience, I think a lot of people are already signed up on major exchanges like Binance. So we just used Binance to buy XMR. No reports on glowniggers or any bullshit yet.

Yep of course. That's always the way to go. Fiat -> Binance XMR -> own wallet. No keys no coins bro. Honestly, I wanna delete my Binance account soon if that is even possible. Do you know a non-kyc service that does Fiat -> XMR directly? Localmonero sellers from my country wants me to use bank transfers. I think that's fine but I was wondering if there are better ways than this for privacymaxing

considering grayscale/DCG's recent announcement and involvement in zcash but not monero? i doubt it.
furthermore, zcash is going to switch to PoS in the future -- no sane investor will invest in a dead PoS optional privacy token. I anticipate 10:1 XMR:ZEC by 2026, conservatively.

You illiterate fuckwit.
The devs of Zcash and other CENTRALIZED CORPOCOINS will be FORCED by GOVERNMENT POWER to disable the ability to send shielded transactions. And they WILL comply, because they aren't fully open decentralized things.

Also did you have to sign a form to call someone a racial slur, or does "jeet" not count yet? Also are you calling Monero people pajeets? That's the stupidest thing I've read in a general thread on biz ever, and that's quite a prize really.

I'm a value investor with a lot in Monero, but I'm also a religious zealot and can stomach realized and unrealized losses without much difficulty. It's a long term play with massive potential upside but also serious risks.
