START MINING IN P2POOL
>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 shut down/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!!!

START RUNNING AN I2P NODE

>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE


>What is I2P?

I2P is an anonymized P2P overlay network akin to the Tor network but with several key advantages over it. I2P is now replacing Tor as the go-to darknet and will play a pivotal role in growing the Monerocentric economy.


>Why should I care? Why should I run a node?

Increasing shadow economy adoption and the proliferation of an XMR-only standard are what guarantee that XMR will have a floor and won't also crash to zero when the Crypto Casino finally implodes. XMR's long-term outlook is therefore *strongly* correlated with the darknet, you may have already noticed how the number of TXs begins to drop whenever the glowies attack & cripple the Tor network, which underscores just how critical it is that the darknet wins this war against the State. Make no mistake: if the darknet is allowed to die XMR will take a devastating hit as well.

So by running an I2P node you are helping to make the network Monero thrives in that much more robust while also enraging glowies in the process. Win-win!


>OK, but how difficult is it? Do I have to store GBs worth of data like when running an XMR node?

It is literally as easy as installing an Android app and no, there are no storage requirements, the node only consumes some bandwidth.


>Cool, I'm sold. What do?

If you have no interest in browsing the darknet yourself then the simplest solution is to install & run the I2Pd Android app on any compatible (Android 4.1+) device, ideally a TV box since they don't require recharging and are permanently online. But any old phone or tablet is fine too. Make sure you activate "start on boot" in the settings.

https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-android/releases/latest


Otherwise just install the appropriate desktop client and leave it running.

https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/latest


The console is accessed via http://127.0.0.1:7070/ or the menu in Android.

>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.

In for fuck ztrash shills

>Trusted technology, growing adoption

Zcash was launched by one of the most respected technical teams in the world.

Zcash is the 'https of blockchains,' protecting your freedom to save and spend as you like.

Zcash was the first project to implement zk-SNARKs, a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography that gives its users the strongest privacy available in any digital currency.

Multiple, independent organizations are funded to innovate on Zcash.

Zcash is already available on top exchanges, digital wallets and a growing number of applications.

This is what Monero chuds dont want you to know.

Buy Zcash if you actually want to make it.

Do we have a singular world currency now? Would you even want something like that, my guess is probably not. BTC will be the major player going forward, but anyone telling you there is only space for one cryptocurrency in the future is coping and disingenuously trying to pump their bag.

No its not, but youre missing the point, i said, or intended to say, that bitcoin, will not be dissapearing any time soon, theres too many bagholders and coincultists, in terms of MC only, BTC will remain the major player for the near future.

>>54198513
Thank you for the liquidity, please come again.

BTC will be an international settlement layer. The institutions and governments using BTC will not care whether the transfer takes a little while. With massive amounts of money changing hands, it's acceptable to wait.

Some regional/national coins will be proposed as the every day payment vehicle for citizens, which will largely be rejected especially in the West. It will take some time before this aspect of the new economy will get sorted out, and nobody can really make an accurate projection about it.

XMR seems useful for very private transactions, but is likely too difficult to use for everyday citizens. Even if Monero does wind up becoming the common people's currency, it is nowhere near time for that to actually occur. Many things need to happen before Monero achieves everyday adoption, if it ever does.

For these reasons, I am divesting from Monero at the moment and moving to BTC. The foretold time of great economic upheaval is upon us, and it is clear BTC will be the primary beneficiary of the massive movement of capital outside of the fiat money system.

You would have to be a fool not to take advantage. I hope to god only a few BTC is necessary to make it.

>>54198760
>With massive amounts of money changing hands, it's acceptable to wait.

>>54199043

Technically? No. But it won't because it lacks the political will of the sovereign elite. The same way that the Turkish Lira *could* be the world reserve currency, but it isn't.

>>54198760

You are retarded if you think bitcoin isn't in a bubble. Currencies are only valuable if you can transact with them, something bitcoin fucking sucks at. Meanwhile gold and oil have value because they have tangible use cases.
>>54198981
>I didn't make those claims in the image.

You are retarded. You are the physical manifestation of that image.

>>54199390
>$27000 USD evaluation

it is overvalued but this is the wrong way to look at it imo

you have to look at the marketcap of bitcoin vs silver, gold, oil whatever

but yes it's still overvalued and is literally like an anchor you're trying to hold that you can't get off of you when you need to get rid of it

>>54199428
>you have to look at the marketcap of bitcoin vs silver, gold, oil whatever
You absolutely do not. Gold, silver and oil all have tangible use cases. Bitcoin does not. It's value proposition is precisely the same as Monero, being peer to peer digital cash. It has absolutely no value outside of this niche. Maxis have convinced people that bitcoin is "muh digital gold" when there is no relation whatsoever.

Can we be honest with ourselves and admit the fake "tech" community made bitcoin big and built all the crapcoins stablecoins and created all the artificial narratives? Oligarchs of the dotcom era that "move fast and break things" for no reason. Assuming satoshi was just some C++ nerd the coin wouldn't have stood a chance anyways? VC giants were in bitcoin in 20 fucking 10. The people that moved the entire crypto market were never sophisticated thinkers just psychopaths like tesla and elon musk. "Oh look we started to corner the EV market even though our EV cars are built to shit quality" but "move fast and break things". Monero will never appreciate in fiat terms, bitcoin will wind up winning until the network just straight up breaks out of being unworkable then bitcoin is a worthless defunct project. Like teslas will "just work" until it doesnt cause there is zero planning or effort behind decision makers in tech businesses "move fast and break things".

Well to be honest there is enough space for both of them to be honest i think the hate to bitcoin goes a little too high i mean i feel the coin is slow as fuck but if the bitcoin narrative fails or if bitcoin itself fails then why would people use other coins the history of xmr is almost as based as bitcoin but for the majority of people if bitcoin fails then crypto all together has failed

Tails with persistent storage would probably be good enough.

>>54204142
generating an airgapped wallet is the safest but not the simplest if you only want to keep track of a single wallet. You could use a hardware wallet if you're okay with that, too.

Personally I keep a cold wallet on an airgapped laptop and a hot wallet on my phone for easy spending.

>>54197439
>I2P is an anonymized P2P overlay network akin to the Tor network but with several key advantages over it.
What advantages?

>>54212700
Just off the top of my head, you can't access the clearnet like with tor, and everyone contributes bandwidth making the network not reliant on exit nodes that can be compromised.

>>54212700
>What advantages?

1. Unlike Tor, I2P is an isolated network that by default has no interactions with the clearnet, its a bona fide darknet.

2. Unlike Tor, I2P has no history of governmental/institutional involvement or financing, its a 100% underground cypherpunk project developed by anons, just like Monero.

3. Unlike Tor, every data downloader is also a data uploader so you don't get an imbalance of leechers vs seeders.

4. #3 makes it more robust and resilient to attacks, the more I2P users/nodes there are the more difficult it becomes for an adversary to mount a successful attack.

Which is why EVERYBODY needs to be running an I2P node!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just calculated it, and you need to churn a Monero output 7-8 (!!!) times to properly clean it. Also you have to be mindful of the timings of your churns. I don't know what the correct timings are, but my instinct is that for every transaction on the chain (or maybe every second), you should, with some extremely small, constant, probability, do a churn. So the UX for actually private transactions is pretty bad for even for schizos, let alone normies.

How I arrived at 7-8 churns:
1. Monero chooses outputs randomly from the past year. During April 2021 - April 2022, there were around 10 million transactions. I assume the average number of outputs is 2, so that's 20 million outputs.
2. For a coin to be clean, it should be as tainted by the original output as any other output. So the coin is clean at depth such that the number of possible parents is greater than 20 million.
3. Each transaction has an input anonymity set of 11.
4. log_11(20,000,000) = 7.01, so 7 or 8 churns.

^ Am I missing something here? These results are kinda dire.

>>54214960
rocks are infinite

>>54215704

Coins and outputs are not linkable, you can't taint XMR like its Bitcoin.

>>54215704
Yeah at a cursory glance I think the thing you're missing is that your output will also be randomly used in future transactions, thus you don't need to do the "churns" yourself, it'll just happen randomly over the following year

>this is a pro because ????
This is a pro because being fed-friendly will make it easier for big banks and institutions to take it up and thus make it moon with normies.
This isn't a novel idea - why do you think Bitcoin is so huge, why do you think Ethereum and all that other garbage are so huge.

It's not a statement that Zcash's tech is superior to Monero, or that it's a better privacy coin. Notice that this screencap only mentions privacy in passing, right near the very end, going "oh and lastly it also has cutting-edge privacy tech". All this article is saying is that Zcash will moon.

>>54216184
>outputs are not linkable
A transaction looks like: [inputs] -> [outputs]. If one of the inputs is tainted, all the outputs are tainted. The outputs are much less tainted than in BTC because most of the inputs are fake so there's a 1/11 chance that this transaction actually uses the input, but they are still tainted.

>>54216192
>output will be randomly used in future transactions
As far as I understand it, it will only be used on average 10 times, which isn't a lot.

>>54197475
Great job dude

>>54216363
>As far as I understand it, it will only be used on average 10 times, which isn't a lot.
It's more than the 7-8 you've calculated, though.

>>54216415
The number of times you need to send a coin you yourself such that it becomes fungible/clean/unlinked and the number of people who will include your transaction as a mixin are totally different things.

>>54216498
What is the difference between you including the coin in as a "real" input in a transaction to yourself, and your coin getting automatically included as a fake input in someone else's unrelated transaction?
In both cases you get a new transaction on the chain with some arbitrary output and with your coins as an input.

>>54216363

Outputs are not coins, you can't taint specific XMR coins, you can only try to infer the true spend.

And that is only a concern if KYC is involved, if you stick to DEXs then zero fucks can be given.

>>54204857
Human shit is finite so it must be valuable like gold! Fucking retarded maxi logic. Being finite means nothing when there is no use case.

literally nobody here gives a shit, go moonfag on reddit with the rest of your zcash cultists.

>>54216517
There's no difference, but because only a small amount of transactions will include a particular output, the anonymity provided is not very big.

>>54216518
Maybe "note" is a better word, I just know "coin" and "output" are used interchangeably when talking about bitcoin. I know outputs conceal the amount of monero they contain, but either way, to spend monero you need to use an output, and outputs can be tainted. I agree that avoiding KYC is paramount. Not too familiar with DEXs or atomic swaps, but I'm skeptical that they break linkability (happy to be proven wrong though).

>>54216760
Cool, so does gold and anything physical. Difference is gold has a use case while bitcoin is a speculative bubble because it failed to achieve its goals before being coopted.

>>54216723
The primary use case of gold is the same as the primary use case of cryptocurrencies. Crypto **currencies**.

>>54198513
I'm doing the opposite because XMR held up really well while all other alts went -90% last year. and I can use it as an actual currency and don't want any fiat anymore.

>>54216363
>A transaction looks like: [inputs] -> [outputs]. If one of the inputs is tainted, all the outputs are tainted.
Each transaction uses a ring of 16 outputs, one of which is the true spend. You cannot tell which one was used so there is no "tainting" of the other outputs.
>>54215704
>3. Each transaction has an input anonymity set of 11.
Wrong.
>>54216770
>and outputs can be tainted.
Explain how. Use a detailed example.

>>54213087
A couple points on this id like to mention.
1.I2P does have a clearnet outproxy, exit.stormycloud. but using it has been advised against as it may be a security risk.
3. There are instances where users are unable to provide much seeding(end up leeching) to the network, namely people who have symmetrical nat from their ISP.
4. I2p has been under a large scale ddos attack for months. Attackers have been creating malicious floodfill routers to bog down the network. The devs put out an update on zzz a while back about their options going forward, last i saw they were looking at a pow concept to fix this issue in the future.

>tldr i2p is a cool network, but like anything else, comes with its own issues and vulnerabilities that need to be weighed against tor's.

>>54216822
>Each transaction uses a ring of 16 outputs, one of which is the true spend. You cannot tell which one was used so there is no "tainting" of the other outputs.
But you can tell that one of them is the true input, so there is tainting. Also you're right, the mixin has actually been 15 since v15 (https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/76dd14dfb1c948497748ab1ef74d182973f67219/src/cryptonote_config.h#L173).). This doesn't change the fact that each transaction has a small input anonymity (16 instead of 11).

Simplest example:
1. You acquire 1 XMR from a KYC exchange
2. You withdraw it to your newly created wallet, it sends as one output.
3. You donate your 1 XMR to a honeypot address.
Because you used as one of 16 inputs your KYC note, you have tainted the output as sent to the honeypot. The feds now know there is a 1/16 chance that it was you who sent the funds.

Here's a worse example:
1. You acquire 1 XMR on a KYC exchange
2. You withdraw to your newly created wallet in two parts (you get two outputs).
3. You donate 1 XMR to the honeypot address using a single transaction that takes both of your notes as input.
Now the feds are almost certain the donor was you, it's very unlikely that someone else chose those two notes as mixin by chance. By using two KYC notes, you strongly tainted the output you sent to the honeypot.

>>54215133

>>54217291
>But you can tell that one of them is the true input, so there is tainting.
Explain how. You haven't explained why having your output included in a transaction is "tainting" or even what "tainting" means in this case.

>Because you used as one of 16 inputs your KYC note, you have tainted the output as sent to the honeypot. The feds now know there is a 1/16 chance that it was you who sent the funds.
Again, how is the output "tainted" just because there is a chance that you were the true spend? Your coins were never mixed with the rest of the outputs.

You need to explain why having your output included as 1 of 16 members of an illicit transaction is "tainting" because it really makes no sense. Tornado cash taints transactions because it mixes your coins with others, this is not how Monero works.

>Now the feds are almost certain the donor was you, it's very unlikely that someone else chose those two notes as mixin by chance. By using two KYC notes, you strongly tainted the output you sent to the honeypot.
Again, tainted how? Tainted implies that you have mixed your funds with illicit funds, yet the coins are never mixed together. You either conducted an illicit transaction or you didn't, and there are probabilities associated with each case. Are you really suggesting that the mere fact that you could have been the true spend "taints" you funds? This makes no sense, you very well could have just had your output included in someone else's transaction.

>>54197372
anyone has this "make crypto scary again" monero pic?

>>54217446
>even what "tainting" means in this case
When I say taint, I just mean analyzing which outputs are related to which outputs, and thus gleaning information about other outputs. As an example, if we know some output (the origin of the taint) is owned by Alice and we know which outputs are descended (or likely descended) from this output, we know that those outputs are more likely also owned by Alice. This is the same as in bitcoin: you withdraw an output from a KYC exchange. This is the origin of the taint. Then you spend it as part of a transaction that creates two outputs. These outputs are tainted because they are much more likely to be owned by you than a random output. Analogously, if your monero output is used as an input to some transaction, the created outputs are much more likely to be owned by you than a random output.

We might have slightly different definitions of taint, but even in the illicit funds case: output A is known to be payment for randomware. Output A is used as input for output B. Output B is much more likely than a random output to use these illicit funds. After enough time passes, all new transactions will be equally tainted (and this happens much quicker than on bitcoin), but the analysis still holds.

Note that the notion of tainting works upwards to ancestors too. In the case where your output is included in an illicit transaction, your output has a much higher chance of being the real input to that transaction than a random output. This might not be strong enough to hold up in court, but it is information someone can learn.

In the 2 input donor case, you can use taint analysis two ways.
1) You consider your KYC note "tainted" because it is tied to your name. This taint (link to you) spreads to descendant outputs (both yours and not).
2) The illicit donation is illicit, and thus taints ancestors because the ancestors are more likely to have been involved in the illicit transaction.

>>54197372
It over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj4poJOInDo

>>54217446
>>54217901
But instead of arguing the semantics of "taint", it's illustrative to think of the 2 input donor example. When someone makes a 2 input transaction, they make 2 rings of size 16. For each ring, they select some outputs to be the mixin. The probability someone will use one of Alice's outputs in the first ring, and another of Alice's outputs in the second ring (in the same position!) is very small. Even if technically it could have happened by chance (and this might be a valid legal defense), it's very strong evidence that Alice made the donation. Calculating this probability exactly is a bit involved. You need to know how monero picks outputs, you need to specify how far apart the two KYC notes are time-wise, and you need to know the rate of transactions. An extremely generous estimate, however, is:
1) New transactions choose from 150,000 of the most recent outputs.
2) Probability of being chosen as mixin for the first ring is 15/150,000 = 10,000
3) Probability of being chosen as mixin for the second ring (ignoring position) is 15/150,000 = 10,000
4) There are 200,000 such 2-input transactions in the time window when Alice's outputs could be chosen
5) Probability of choosing Alice's two notes for any given transaction is 1/10,000^2 = 1/100,000,000
6) Probability one of the 200,000 2-input transactions will do this is: 200,000/100,000,000 = 0.2%

If you think the numbers aren't realistic, or just want a more drastic example, consider the case where the KYC exchange gives Alice 5 notes, and Alice spends them all in one transaction. The probability of the n-input transaction appearing by chance is exponential in n.

So including your output in one (1) transaction, and then doing it ~7 more times, is in your opinion better than having it inlcuded in ten (10) transactions, each of which gets included in 10 more transactions on average, and which continues more or less forever as long as new transactions are broadcast on the chain?

I2P gets stronger the more users there are, so they'd have to constantly keep upping their number of malicious routers, at a certain point it becomes impractical.

>XMR seems useful for very private transactions
Yes, absolutely. By the way that means "just normal transactions" alright? The average, normal day-to-day transaction is a private one.
>but is likely too difficult to use for everyday citizens.
Eh. Maybe you have a point if you're talking about literal 80 years old boomers? What it so difficult about installing an app on your smartphone, or installing a software on a computer? It doesn't really take much to *use* monero. Maybe you're stuck in 2016?
>For these reasons, I am divesting from Monero at the moment and moving to BTC
That sounds pretty dumb. I can understand if you were to convert your fiat to bitcoin because you want to speculate on it and make more fiat in the end, but to DIVEST from monero to bitcoin? Selling monero to acquire more bitcoin? Again, it sounds pretty dumb. Monero is not going anywhere and if anything it will be harder and harder to acquire it once governments start to ban the competitors to their CBDCs. I would never recommend this move, unless you're a fiat whore which seems to be the case to be honest, so.

Monero really needs to copy Zcash's zk snarks within 1-2 years max or then it starts looking like a honeypot. The next thing after seraphim.
Also, there is a strong preference for transactions way more recent than 1 year, eg see https://xmrchain.net/tx/c66397a62d61863707a98a69fbb204b3bc682bae44c31d82576ae78845f7bdcc..
Also, ring size is 16.

Must be on fire right now considering the news about pompompurin

>>54217901
>This is the same as in bitcoin: you withdraw an output from a KYC exchange. This is the origin of the taint.
No, origin of taint in bitcoin is when your coins are mixed with coins from illicit gains, just like how if you run a physical cash business your cash can be tainted if you start laundering drug money. Just owning a cash business doesn't make your cash tainted, you need to actually mix illicit funds with clean funds to taint them. Withdrawing from an exchange doesn't taint your bitcoins.

>output A is known to be payment for randomware.
So output A is a payment to a malicious actor
>Output A is used as input for output B.
Output A is part of a 16 output ring signature to create output B, sure.
>Output B is much more likely than a random output to use these illicit funds.
Output B has a 1/16 chance of having output A as the true spend, compared to "a random output" which has a 0/16 chance of having output A as a true spend assuming our "random output" does not include output A as a ring member.

Still not seeing the issue. Output B is either comprised of illicit funds entirely or not at all and you can't tell which is true. Unlike with bitcoin where the illicit funds would have been mixed with clean funds tainting both inputs.

The entire point is that you can't tell what the source of the funds is with any realistic probability.

>>54220581
There is no reason to involve crypto so serious projects have not done so. I'm sure we will eventually see some bullshit i2p clone with a coin attached.

>>54228998
>Monero really needs to copy Zcash's zk snarks within 1-2 years max or then it starts looking like a honeypot.

Ring signatures will be ditched once SNARKs have sufficiently matured and not a moment sooner, last thing Monero needs is poorly-understood cryptography in its codebase.

Every vendor starts off doing everything by the book but the longer they go without being busted the more corners they begin to cut, they get too comfy and so start getting sloppy, "if they haven't caught me by now they probably never will".

The lesson here being: the vendors that never get caught are the ones that remained disciplined.

>>54229781
Exactly. The adversary never takes a break, never stops researching, testing and surveiling. Thats why i think its hilarious when maxi's say "its private enough", or assume there exists a perfect set of tools and procedures. Opsec is a continuous cycle of researching, assessing and adapting, the ones who become complacient pay a heavy toll.

He has a trial coming up and I want to donate to his defense fund to help him out as well as support free speech but don't want the fed niggers nipping at my ankles either. Obviously Monero is the clear choice here.

I'm still a newfag when it comes to Monero and am trying to wrap my head around the tech so bear with me. I was thinking of a monero compatible wallet with a built-in exchange to streamline the process. So at what point does the transaction officially 'go private'?

The transaction path would go:

(1) buy btc for cash on my KYC -> (2) send to btc to cake wallet -> (3) exchange btc for monero on cake wallet -> (4) send newly acquired Monero from cake wallet to anon in question's personal wallet.

So all transactions are traceable up until point #3 right? After that, any monero leaving the cake wallet is essentially a ghost? Is it really that simple?

Also, fuck the US federal government.

No, Monero already shields your IP address by default. But it helps if you want to cover more of your tracks.


>Can they discover transaction data from that alone?

No, the critical TX data (addresses & amounts) never appears on the blockchain.

>>54233198
Tradeogre or stealthex are both decent options both are non kyc

Did not know that. Interesting.

and I assume the app itself would just be interacting with the Monero blockchain right? There's no way for app wallet to be linked to my phone's IP address or cell service provider?

The app interacts with Trocador's API.


> There's no way for app wallet to be linked to my phone's IP address or cell service provider?

Your ISP will be able to see you connected to Trocador unless you use the I2P service. Not a big deal tho, they won't be able to determine anything else.

But why? Ring signatures work and they're simple. All we need to do is increase the ring size, and we're already experimenting with that in wownero, and things like Seraphis and Jamtis will make it even easier

>>54234664
>Ring signatures work

For now. Read this: https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/100

>>54233133
>>54233241
Looking at it, what's the benefit of that compared to just using a non KYC exchange like tradeogre?
It's just convenience with no additional privacy for this specific usecase, right? Just double-checking my impresssion

>>54234726
too many technical terms here the only thing I got out of it was an EAE attack which increasing the ring size should help with right?

Reminder to buy Zcash before Monero is inevitably broken.

Why do these mordinals niggers keep spamming shitty cryptopunks when they could be uploading high-quality Monero-chan pics instead?

>>54236477

High rez uses up more block space.

>>54233608
yeah I think

>>54234726
I think long term the idea will be that there will be so many ring members that it will essentially be every possible ring decoy inside each transaction. Of course, we should strive to find a better solution, but ring signatures are tried and true and the data so far that we have shows chain analysis is struggling to get anything.

>>54235590
You can use it via I2P or TOR, no not even the FBI will be able you we swapping coins. If you use BTC -> they will see the BTC wallet sent sats to an exchange, AND IF they hack or purchase information from the exchange they'll know the exchange sent some XMR.... BUT they will never know which person did that particular exchange, since there's no breadcrumb to link to any IP whatsoever.

I believe you leave a bunch of breadcrumbs on TradeOgre, or am I mistaken?

this

I always find it amusing when federal agents try to convince you that they will go into bitcoin, if only to control all of it and sit on it, extract the wealth and leave it dead and rotting

in reality, they operate under strict secrecy using connections they have with private and national banks, monero is an incredible tool for them, to think even for a millisecond that the federal governments of the world want their books to be transparent is the dumbest fucking narrative that only appeals to 90 iq simpletons, you could only convince an abject moron this is true

the problem with the bitcoin maxi fantasy is that they assume people (like the government) aren't going to try to track them from their public holdings and coin movements. if bitcoin goes to 10 million usd a coin because usd is worth less there will be government agents harassing bitcoiners for donations

>>54236827
Yes, but... the BTC is KYCed. If you start off by buying KYC BTC from an exchange, then you could be behind seven proxies, but it'll still be visible that you sent that BTC to an address owned by another exchange, who then swapped it for XMR (if they have access to the exchange's logs).

Of course, if you have non-KYC coins to start with - especially e.g. if you're using it to swap OUT of monero to pay for something in bitcoin using your monero - then yeah I definitely see the use. But for that anon's specific usecase of buying KYC BTC, I'm pretty sure just going on tradeogre wouldn't be any worse. (Nor any better, either, mind you.)

New release

>>54213087
i have 2 questions:
1) how big is an i2p node?
2) is it possible to host i2p node on one machine but browsing i2p on another?

>>54240359
1) an i2p "node" is just a router. It routes internet packages (tcp/udp/etc.) from one i2p router to the next. It doesn't store GBs of data.

2) yes it is possible. You can have the i2p node installed on your local raspberry pi, and browse the i2p using it from your computer: https://lbry.projectsegfau.lt/@AlphaNerd:8/how-i-run-darknets-from-my-home-internet:2

>>54240345
blog post says zzz has stepped down from the project? Anyone knows why?

First zab, now zzz stepping down from i2p development. Kinda worrisome. Are they uncomfortable with the new migration of DNM and "far right communities" from tor to i2p; is this why they cut the ties with i2p development work?

>>54217763
Perhaps this one?

>>54240359
>1) how big is an i2p node?

I2P nodes don't store data, they only route it. So they're tiny enough to fit on any Android device.

>2) is it possible to host i2p node on one machine but browsing i2p on another?

That's exactly how many use it:

1. Install I2P on a VPS.
2. Use SSH port forwarding to browse eepsites locally.

>>54241570
make ssh a hidden service on top of it for the lulz. Also eliminates the need for forwarding ports.

brahs I want 100 monero

>>54242694
lmao just buy them it's not that expensive

>>54242694
triple digit XMR stack is my goal too

What is the future of Monero?

>>54244371
First, we limit/eliminate the tx_extra field and cuck the NFT-fags.

Then we increase the ring size to 256 with Seraphis upgrade.

With Jamtis addresses, we get complete view only wallets, and privacy enhanced light wallet servers (very fast wallet sync times, great UX for mobile wallets).

After that, we cuck zniggers and deploy Halo2 with our spin and make the ring sigs turn into full membership proofs which make the anon set the whole Monero txo set.

All the while we conquer the DarkNet Markets' network effects, and trickle down into white markets. WE WILL EAT INTO BITSHIT'S MARKETSHARE.

Bullish as fuck for monero. If you don't have at least 18.7 (69 for make-it) XMR, you will kys.

>>54244449
basically but you're not going to cuck nft fags

oh we definitely will. Just you wait, nftfag, the tx_extra field will be limited to 256 bytes the next network upgrade, and we will probably get rid of the next time.

You will be left with your dick in your hand.

What do you guys think of DRC? Is it legit or is it a shit coin scam?

I'm too lazy to read papers so I want others to tell me what to think.
Specifically explain to me why SNARKs are so awesome and everyone wants to use them (and they're even being considered for Monero) but STARKs aren't (yet).

>>54244517
nfts will be on monero even if they don't use tx_extra

>>54244449
>After that, we cuck zniggers and deploy Halo2 with our spin and make the ring sigs turn into full membership proofs which make the anon set the whole Monero txo set.

Uh, no you won't. Halo2 is the property of the Zcash community who paid for its development.

See, this is why Zcash will ultimately win, superior tech trumps everything else.

Same reason dog memes are able to achieve insane valuations: a potent combo of speculative mania + irrational greed.

There is nothing meaningful holding the BTC price up, it keeps losing real-world adoption to Monero so its just a matter of sitting back and letting nature take its course.

>>54247469

Im completely null when it comes to networking. I guess ill have to stick with tor

>Im completely null when it comes to networking. I guess ill have to stick with tor

Do you use the Tor Browser Bundle? Its exactly the same as that, only you use the I2P Browser Bundle.

Java I2P: https://i2pplus.github.io/

C++ I2P: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pdbrowser/releases/tag/1.3.3

I prefer the C++ version because I'd rather not have Java running on my rig.

Anons, is there any Whonix equivalent for i2p? I know you can enable it inside Whonix to go from Tor to i2p, but I want a Whonix substitute that goes straight to i2p so I can route VMs through it directly for various services (mainly XMPP and maybe a legit, legal business with a focus on user privacy)
