START MINING IN P2POOL

>START MINING IN P2POOL

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. Once P2Pool reaches & maintains 51%+ of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.

Although many inexperienced miners think that bigger pools give better profits, this is absolutely NOT the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.


>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL FASTER & EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE GUPAX GUI. USES TRUSTED REMOTE NODES BY DEFAULT!!!!

1. Download the *bundled* version of Gupax for your OS here: https://gupax.io/downloads/
2. Extract somewhere (Desktop, Documents, etc)
3. Launch Gupax
4. Input your Monero address in the [P2Pool] tab. USE A SEPARATE MINING-ONLY WALLET!
5. Select a Community Monero Node that you trust, although you can and should run your own node if possible.
6. Start P2Pool
7. Start XMRig

VIDEO GUIDE: https://gupax.io/guide/

You are now mining to your own instance of P2Pool, welcome to the world of decentralized peer-to-peer mining!

>NOTE THAT DUE TO BOTNET SHENANIGANS XMRIG IS AUTO-FLAGGED AS MALWARE BY MOST ANTI-VIRUSES, SO DON'T FREAK OUT!!!

>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.

>Discreet will make Monero futile.

>>53181131
Easy route (I deleted the others because I was retardedly rambling about different security models and shit, just read this it's probably good enough)
Install TailsOS on a USB drive, enable persistence, download monero GUI or CLI and restart into offline mode to generate the wallet. Write down the seedphrase and you're done. From here you can choose to put coins into the wallet, never booting up Tails in online mode, or you can treat it as a "luke-warm" wallet as I like to view it (it only connects to monero nodes, over Tor of course). Verify files are signed properly at each download!!!!

There are more secure methods but realistically your threats in this model are:
>Hardware malware (USB)
>Malicious install from malware acquired from host when install medium was created
>CPU microcode and firmware (picrel kek)
>Compromised BIOS
>Anything with a lower security "level" than the TailsOS operating system
And probably a few more, but realistically it's a pretty good easy solution and 10000000x better than putting it on windows or other proprietary devices.

>He added that the transactions were initially traced on the Bitcoin blockchain and were visible, adding "that's why we were able to get reasonably far." As soon as the funds moved from BTC to XMR, however, he noted "that was the point where the investigation ended."

There are a lot of different ways, only thing limiting you is your knowledge.

Personally I have an airgapped laptop with schizo-tier security for cold wallets and cakewallet for a hot wallet.

>>53181521
Yes, I heard that one first from you, but it doesn't make any sense. If the basis for Monero's price is based on real-world non-speculative demand, that won't simply go away when someone makes a clone. Network effect exists, plus optional privacy fails again and again.

Since the CLI wallet works without a desktop environment, would it be safe to use it as a hot wallet on a minimal linux install like arch or alpine? Or could it still be hacked? The machine would be used for nothing else but the CLI walllet.

>>53183534
Realistically speaking, unless your system and the wallet itself were compromised, it'd be fine.
>Could it be hacked?
Hypothetically speaking, given it'd need to be connected to the internet, yes.
>WOULD it be hacked?
It would be astronomically unlikely unless you have god awful security practices.

Is it a good idea to recieve xmr as donations if i'm a streamer/youtuber? Can i use the monero gui wallet or something else?

>>53184146
It's an excellent idea. Much lower chance for you (or your viewers) to accidentally dox yourself like with paypal/streamlabs donations. The GUI wallet works.
It's also a horrible idea, because most likely nobody will actually own Monero to donate, unless you are a crypto channel or something like that.

>>53184146
I don't know how concerned you are with OPSEC, but in general I'd consider it fine as long as you aren't doing anything suspicious and you report it on your taxes. The Feds may send you a donation as a test to see if you report it.

Accepting is easy though, you could just put a donation address in the description and call it good. If you wanted to get really fancy and display it on the stream, you'd need a script that watches the address for incoming transactions and I'm not sure that someone has made one yet

>>53184277
>If you wanted to get really fancy and display it on the stream
I mean display the donations as they come in

>>53181521
anyone can make a clone of monero but if they expect for user to move from monero to the clone they need to offer something else.
It would be great if more coins focused on privacy, we would move faster to a reliable and usable tech.

My idea is to just put the address on the description of the videos/stream desu. Nothing fancy since i'm just playing vidya and some of my viewers come to just chill and talk to chat. Thanks anon.
>>53184277
I'll be honest, i don't expect people to donate me since i'm fairy new to streaming. I don't think the feds could be a problem since i live in a 3rd world country and were i live, taxes are always included in everything you buy. If i ever happen to have my channel monetized, that's where i have to start paying/declaring taxes but i highly doubt i'll reach that many subs though.
I was more concerned about the monero gui address but i think i'll have no problem. Thanks anon.

>>53184146
Luke Smith has XMR donations pop-up on stream, maybe look into that he probably has it somewhere in his GitHub or links to it.
Also look into "merchant mode" inside the GUI wallet that shows all incoming transactions way faster than the base "transactions" tab might do.

>>53184523
I'll definetly look into that, anon.

The literal mental capacity

XMR has excellent technology and use cases.
The price of XMR does not matter at all. It should not rise with mass adaption.

XMR is for trade, not for holding.

>>53185711
why wouldn't it be for both trade and holding? if it's a good medium of exchange, it's probably also a good store of value, especially with predictable supply constraint.

>>53185711
I disagree that price won't rise with mass adoption. That doesn't make sense. More demand = higher price.
>XMR is for trade, not for holding.
XMR can be for holding though. I agree that using Monero is most important but still there is economic scarcity.

>>53185568

>>53185711
>The price of XMR does not matter at all. It should not rise with mass adaption.

Adoption only primes the bubble, speculation is what actually triggers it and sends prices to the moon and beyond.

And there is simply no way to avoid speculators FOMOing in, especially for a coin that is demonstrably in the process of displacing King Bitcoin, the implication that XMR is "the next BTC" is all too obvious to ignore.

>>53185711
>The price of XMR does not matter at all
It kind of does though, because liquidity matters. If monero continues to stay at a $3 billion market cap, it will never become the de-facto standard for the shadow economy because the entire black market (offline and online) is worth trillions of dollars. This idea that monero will forever be a $150 stablecoin while continually gaining more adoption and capturing more markets just doesn't make any sense when you start doing the math.
>"well monero's price will stabilize because everyone is constantly trading it like a hot potato"
Wouldn't that make it more appealing to hold, though? Sure the price isn't as consistent as tether or usdc, but not everyone cares about a ±10% price fluctuation in their crypto. And if monero's price is going to deviate from the mean even less than btc/ltc/eth/etc, people are going to notice and feel more comfortable holding onto their monero or converting their holdings into monero.

Not all the devs are known, and the devs are all over the world so the american government wouldn't have jurisdiction.

If there is a hardfork they don't agree with then they can chose not to support it. They can essentially vote with their hash power.

>>53181264
>Trust this newspaper article.

>>53186597
Being irrelevant in the grand picture.

>>53187811
Thanks for answering with the info.
If there is a hardfork your funds are still in a cold storage wallet, because it is just an address, but you need to create a new cold storage wallet with the newest update and data from the blockchain and then use the key to verify your funds are still there, is this correct?

>>53187932
>>53187932
Correct. Hardforks don't (usually) affect keys at all, you just have to update your client and download subsequent blocks. An exception to this would be if Monero implements the Jamtis address scheme update, which would require you to generate new keys using your old ones in order to access funds. That isn't confirmed yet though and I have no idea how automated they would try to make the process.

>>53187932
To move the funds in the future out of cold storage you would have to download an up to date wallet that is compatible with the most recent version.
Also you don't need to download the blockchain. You can connect remotely to a node (though downloading the block chain and running your own node is the chad way of doing things).

>>53188010

>>53185193
>1.) install it on a computer with an NSA backdoor (CPU)
Realistically you need to be targeted for them to use the backdoor (i.e they know who you are). I called it easy and not "best" for a reason though. The best option would be physically creating your own hardware and software to make a hardware wallet. Probably not worth the time for 99.999% of people.
>2.) don't verify the binary
You shouldn't need to be told to do this.

I clearly stated what this solution doesn't defend against, which you can essentially view as targeted surveillance. If they know who you are they WILL get you. But, this route should be reasonably safe for protecting against everything else.

>>53188052

>>53186597
>What’s stopping the US Federal Government from just raiding all the XMR devs, sending them to gitmo, then compromise the coin?
because unlike bitcoiners most monero devs have decent opsec and know how to hide their identities.

>>53186834
>Do miners then get to vote on proposed code being implemented in the next update or something similar?
It's the same as with any hard fork. You either update your node or you don't. If 90% of people refuse to update and miners refuse to move over then it's considered a contentious fork and the old chain is the one that should be recognized as the original, just like how bitcoin cash hard forked from bitcoin but people disagreed with them (arguably for stupid socially engineered reasons but BCH is irrelevant since we have monero).

If the next monero update removed anonymity features we would just not update. The updates that have been pushed have all been improvements so everyone unanimously has upgraded.

>>53187725
>trending to zero against Bitcoin?
Yeah, is it? Sure doesn't seem so

>>53188109
>what the fuck has happened in the last 24 hours?

fundamentaly, nothing. if your refering to recent price action, its been building up to this for quite some time. and its in the middle of a bear market for the rest of the market. just goes to show that fundamentals really do matter, just not when everyone is buying shitcoins on fake hype cycles and btc and the rest of the market are being pumped astronomicaly due to crazy crazy amounts of leverage.

Silly question, but is it possible to reduce you mining hashrate? To avoid wasting too much electricity while also collaborate with the network.

Was monero made because btc turned out to be horrible mistake by 2014 with asic mining? As in it's 2050 and the only place with power left is some small island of nuclear reactors and miners are shooting and stabbing each other to death over last remaining Asics cause a btc is 1938849202848839 dollars and a cheeseburger costs 100000000 dollars and the rest of the planet outside that island is 600 ad Europe.

for mining monero YES !, just reduce the n of cores (threads) used in the config file. For GPU mining (ETH before merge, etc), NO ! its mega retarded, frustrates me to no end. GPU miners are designed to use 100% of GPU rendering the PC useless except for a dedicated farm.
So you cant GPU mine and read email or youtube. while you can even play video games with cpu mining. There is virus called silnet XMRrig, its a hostile monero miner, which may not even notice working in the background. if a phone is infected, maybe you feel like the battery is getting worse or is warmer at standby

Just get some in local monero, if you have dont find anything then get some btc and use atomicswaps to trade for monero. Also offer services online and get paid in xmr.

I'm *this* close to starting mining using GUPAX, but I'm torn on two topics: local versus remote node, and tor or not tor. The only reason I'm doing any of it is because GUPAX makes it super fucking easy -- I'm relatively tech savvy, but not to the level of reading the literature and having any fucking clue what to do with it. And the only reason I'm into XMR at all is my distrust of centralized authorities like the feds. If the authorities decide to come down hard on XMR because it actually represents an escape from their system, would I just be painting a target on myself by not using tor? Or would it even matter?

>>53188270

>>53212672
0 experience with gupax but I mine and run my own nodes over TOR

Long story short: No, all people can see is that you are using TOR, not what you're doing on it. Also, TOR (like monero) is far more useful to glowies and 3 letter agencies than you'd expect. I really would not expect any crackdowns like that, perhaps tax crackdowns.

There is 0 local monero in my country.

But you can buy from Kraken.

Could I buy XMR on Kraken then sell it for cash through local monero, and do it completely within the law?

Like declare 100% honest income for taxes and shit but just earn selling XMR anonymously for like double the price?

I’m guessing theres probably a limit to how much one can sell as a private person before you have to become a licensed money broker and then conform to rules like you must require ID etc

Maybe one of these is good enought as a example for monerochanart

Any huge reason not to use something like Exodus to buy BTC before swapping it for XMR to send to myself? Looking into other options but I had it already as a quick and easy way to pay for something else. Still pretty new to most of this.

>>53219684
According to monero.how, the current hashrate is at 2.5GH/S, which is "roughly 25,000,000 CPU cores", so I guess they're averaging that 1 core = 1KH/S. So that's the equivalent of 1,562,500 CPUs with 16-cores, or 3,125,000 CPUs with 8 cores, or 6,250,000 CPUs with 4 cores. You'll have to do some research on CPU RandomX benchmarks to see which CPUs give you the best bang for your buck, and see how much it costs to get 12.5 million CPU cores.

>>53219968
https://coinguides.org/hashpower-converter-calculator/

according to miningpoolstats 2.5GH/S hashrate is correct but that would equal around 30000 miners. what does that mean 30000 miners? is it 1 cpu?

regardless since an amd 5950x would equal 22 kh/s that means you would just need 113000 cpus
58000 for a 51% attack
which is...not a lot

but I'm also interested to know how much it would cost if monero had the popularity of bitcoin
if let's say monero reaches bitcoin market cap (x100), does that mean that the difficulty will x100? or is it like an exponential formula, not linear increase?

>>53220202

What is easier to attack is also easier to defend.

or maybe I'm not understanding something

can someone explain how the monero difficulty works?

does x100 miners means x100 difficulty or not?

>>53220320
I believe it adjusts the same way BTC does in terms of average block times.

>an attacker that wouldpurchase a lot of cpus would make it harder to defend, after the attack took place

There are literally millions of Ryzens & equivalent rigs out there just waiting to be re-purposed into miners, not to mention all the countless millions of lesser CPUs that are capable of mounting a communal defense.

That is the beauty of RandomX, virtually every household on Earth already has the potential contribute to network security without having to invest in additional hardware.

why would there be more miners suddenly after monero is attacked, especially if it's not that profitable to mine?
you can go very far if you imagine what is possible, you've got to reason based on what is realistic though

if my asumption is right (x100 miners means x100 difficulty) then I'm afraid there needs to be ways to make monero more resilient to attacks

>>53220666
do you know if the difficulty x2 if the hashrate x2, or does the difficulty goes above x2?

Things are looking better than I expected for January so far. Not a bad start to the year.

>>53223052
>>why would there be more miners suddenly after monero is attacked, especially if it's not that profitable to mine?

For the same reason hashrate steadily rising even tho profitability is virtually zero these days.

>>53223070
so if I understand correctly you're saying that if someone attacks monero then the same people currently mining at a loss will spend even more money to defend the network?
is that right?
what tells you that's correct and not just hope?

to be honest I'm kind of afraid of an attack on monero and I'm trying to find details that might be more reassuring
if it's not profitable to secure I don't understand how it can be secure
it sounds like it doesn't make any sense
unless there's some billionaires that are pro monero?

>>53223363
>what tells you that's correct and not just hope?
Because mining profitability has been awful the past few years but the mining network has continued to grow.

>>53223363

i have ~15k Hashes just sitting around not mining bcs it's not economical and I've already reached my goal of finding a block myself in p2pool.

If there was indication of an active attack against the network, these machines would be mining within the hour and if its serious I might just go out and buy myself a nice top-end ryzen rig for fun.

im sure I'm not the only one in the monero community who could quickly have miners running.

>>53223363
There's some idealists, but Monero miners are also a common form of "malware". Any computer you have access to that you don't pay electricity for, you can mine and get free money. Used to be able to mine on free trial Azure servers.

15000 kh/s? that's 0.5% of the network, how is that possible? you own 1000 units of miners?

>>53223550
would be actually interesting to know what % of the hashrate those malwares contribute to the network

Let's see your mining setup, big boy.

>>53223721
Hence the mnemonic seed phrase backup. todays SSD's are probably safe for 5-10 years of data retention (perhaps longer but I'm not trusting it past that). Or you can just use M disc, or magnetic tape, etc, etc.

>>53223902
>Let's see your mining setup, big boy.

Creating tokens on monero, I have designed something which (in theory) should allow for the creation and management of tokens on Monero XMR.

Nigga, this ain't Bitcoin. MoneroChads are primarily motivated by ideology rather than profits and many mine at an acceptable loss just to support the network and stick it to the glowies.

Remember what happened when MineXMR hit 51%? Moniggaz stepped up, got to counter-hashing and drove that shit back down rapidly.


>to be honest I'm kind of afraid of an attack on monero and I'm trying to find details that might be more reassuring

Don't be, while its not impossible it would be a logistical nightmare setting up the machines themselves, not to mention sourcing all the electricity required in one place.


>if it's not profitable to secure I don't understand how it can be secure

IDEOLOGY. People have gone to war and died for it, others have betrayed their own country for it. Mining at a slight loss ain't no thang if its for a righteous cause you believe passionately in.

>>53223977

https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/monero/hashrate-chart
you can barely see any movement of the hashrate when that happened
plus that drop, from what I've understood, was completely wanted by the mining pool, it wasn't an attack
still not reassuring

I get that many monero miners are willing to take a loss but as long as there's no incentive I'm afraid there will be not enough people to defend it

>>53224259
If I'm remembering right they only actually held 51% for sporadic bits of time, they weren't bad actors but still, it's too close for comfort.

They willingly shut down last year and we've been far more decentralized since then, but I do hope they make a return some day.

Would it be technically feasible to get rid of pooled mining in a future update? Would people go for it?

>how do you send stuff as a seller anonymously?

this is the retarded way to force adoption and it will lead to price instability.
why would people hold a currency that is only used in dark markets unless of course they want to buy something in those markets or are just moonfags waiting for the coin to go up.
crypto will gain adoption as the tech improves and as the use cases increase, hopefully CBDC will force a part of the population into cryptos for good.

if you really want the coin to gain adoption, create or support markets for it.

>you can barely see any movement of the hashrate when that happened
>plus that drop, from what I've understood, was completely wanted by the mining pool, it wasn't an attack
>still not reassuring

The necessary hashrate was generated as soon as it was necessary, I find that very reassuring.

>I get that many monero miners are willing to take a loss but as long as there's no incentive I'm afraid there will be not enough people to defend it

Are you dense? We've already established that profitability has been essentially zero for a while yet the hashrate steadily keeps rising over time. No incentive my ass, mining Monero when you hold it makes perfect sense since its an effective way of protecting your investment, not to mention its ideologically mandated as well.

And to be precise: mining Monero can be profitable assuming access to basically free electricity, so there are definitely niggaz mining for profit, its just that for most of us the revolution comes first.

Consider investing in dog memes instead.

>mining Monero can be profitable assuming access to basically free electricity
that's a good point

Hello /xmr/, I'm Black and I'm all in on Monero and I want to go all in on Monero-chan as well but I recognize race-mixing is wrong so I won't do it. Can someone please draw a Monegro-chan?

>>53226972

>>53226972
Second Monegro chan but because race mixing is wrong but because it's based

God dammit it's a piece of shit to sync the node, I've left my pc on for 3 days and there's still 500k blocks left and it seems it's slowing down. Should I just download the blockchain on getmonero or what? It's really a bummer, bet many people don't run nodes/mine due this

>>53227724
internet speed? CPU? Rotating drive or solid-state storage?

>>53227762
300 Mb, 5800X, HDD
Yes, I know the HDD is the bottleneck but it's the partition I don't have to worry about running out of space, but still, 3 days is too long.

The onion link for darknet markets wasn’t working for me. Is there something that I need to do besides use tor?

>>53227955
>>53228309
I downloaded on Linux with a 300GB partition on my Windows SSD, then moved it to my NAS and now run the node from an array of HDDs. Started the sync before bed and it was done when I woke up, migration was faster because my LAN is 1GBe while my WAN is something like 800MB/s

>>53228398

Tor is currently being hammered by glowies. AlphaBay has ab i2p site tho.

Bitcoin is gold, Monero is anonymous cash, is this really that controversial?

>>53228735
>is this really that controversial?

Gold is fungible, Bitcoin isn't.

can monero go to $20k? or will it forever tap out at $500?

>>53228761
SO WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT, if you buy it as a store of wealth with no intention to sell than why the fuck does it matter, ideally you would use xmr for all daily transactions so WHY DOES IT MATTER

>>53228838
>WHY DOES IT MATTER
If you hold Bitcoin like gold you'll probably hold a lot of you worth there.Bitcoin is not like gold it has no industrial or commercial use. Bitcoin is basically just a collectable at this point and since you're just collecting numbers on the screen not a good one.

>>53229030
yeah it's not like 2 real countries adopted it as official currency and legal tender and 3 more looking to do the same.

>>53229113
>2 real countries
I didn't know the Central African Republic accepted it as legal tender. I'm sure a technologically leading nation has wide uses for Crypto. I take back everything I said.

>>53229184
i don't think people in the western developed nations have real use for hard money. their currencies are strong enough as is. for now. africa needs bitcoin more, but the volatility is probably too much for them for now.

Gupax is throwing me this error:
>P2Pool get_info RPC request failed: error URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL (empty response), trying again in 1 second
How do I fix this?

>>53228838
I just think the transparency of the blockchain is a deal breaker for any seriously wealthy people (nations, banking families etc).

Why the fuck would anyone allow their entire financial history to be tracked by anyone in the world that took an interest?

>>53229223
altho who knows maybe being only 70% down is not that bad for africans.

>>53229237
big money can't move around in secret anyhow. in fact it's usually a liability on someone else's book. with bitcoin wealthy people can at least self-custody.

>>53210344
>for mining monero YES !, just reduce the n of cores (threads) used in the config file.
I only have two, so I have to choose between mining and using my computer, which I need for everything.

>>53229289
> big money can't move around in secret anyhow.
I disagree. Secrecy is essentially the exclusive way that big money moves.

Can you tell me the current holdings of the Sauds? The House of Windsor? The Rockefellers or Rothschilds? Just using famous examples.

There may be a few notable companies or holdings, but you can’t provide any real details or timetable.

>>53229289
>big money can't move around in secret anyhow.

Nigga, what the fuck do you think offshore banking is all about? Why were numbered Swiss bank accounts so coveted?

Jesus Christ!

>>53229455
I guess the devils advocate argument is that the elite will just use 100,000 different bitcoin addresses so people can’t really connect the dots.

But it just seems like an unnecessary risk to even do that.

>>53229422
>Secrecy is essentially the exclusive way that big money moves.
you have no clue how tradfi works i see. there are no secrets. money is just a umber on excel sheets credited to kyc-ed fucks.
>>53229455
swiss banks also need kyc and will rat you out even tho they loved the numbered account system because people died all the time with money in them nobody claimed.

>>53229511
it's not like oligarchs can't coinjoin with each other. sure plebs are not going to participate in 1000 btc chip-in pools.

>>53229511
>I guess the devils advocate argument is that the elite will just use 100,000 different bitcoin addresses so people can’t really connect the dots.

Why would you even risk it when you could just use Monero with peace of mind?

>>53229588
doesn't have the liquidity for wealthy people to laugh at it. they certainly can't estimate the exit liquidity if they need out. monero will be gypsy coin. used by lowlifes and norks.

>>53181100
Moreno looks good but it's not convincing. RAILGUN a top notch, is an on-chain privacy system built using smart contracts and powered by zk proofs

>>53229540
>swiss banks also need kyc and will rat you out even tho they loved the numbered account system because people died all the time with money in them nobody claimed.

Yeah, that's why I used the past tense, Swiss banking is cucked now.

Monero carries on the tradition.

what do i make of it?

>>53229606
>doesn't have the liquidity for wealthy people to laugh at it.

Monero had even less liquidity 5 years ago. Things change with time and adoption, the entry of transnational organized crime into the fold is certainly very promising.

>>53229236
I think I get that error occasionally if monerod hangs. Try killing p2pool, restart monerod and watch for errors, then start p2pool again when it's running smoothly

Mental Outlaw posts an xmr tipjar address, and makes monero vids to get the normies interested. Use whatever wallet suits you.

>SoV
Why does SoV arise in the first place? Steady low inflow of supply with rising demand. Bitcoin has the first part, but as soon as people forget the demand side (buying to spend on transactions) the SoV narrative collapses, and you're left is a speculative bubble. Arguably this has already happened as we can see several more used alts outperforming Bitcoin (namely XMR to stroke our dicks a bit).
A currency must be a good medium of exchange with low inflation FIRST to become something that you can save your wealth in, not the other way around.

the funny thing about taproot is it's not adding shit to privacy for now. cross input signature aggregation has been postponed indefinitely so it does nothing for coinjoins.

>>53236059
the other funny thing about taproot is people who are basically doxxed spooks working for national intelligence agencies had a key role in the implementation and verification of it.

>>53234035
bitcoiners disregarding the medium of exchange role was the biggest mistake in this century. but curiously there is a serious amount of development going into practical pos and integrated online payments. despite the narrative going full tilt against that.

seems like the builders are just building, and don't care about the morons screeching.

>>53236200
he big difference between xmr and bitcoin is the priorities.

bitcoin is scaling first privacy later. monero is privacy first scaling later. idk which one will win.
