So I should 2X long Monero right now, right? I mean, it seems physically impossible it would go below 70 dollars.

>>55247443
I literally doubled my XMR wallet. this is a beautiful moment. I have set more aside incase it dips below 120.

Give me some red pills anon i feel partially defeated, feel nothing happened after the debt ceiling was lifted, most shitcoins are possed centralized garbage, bitcoin has the biggest chance of mass adoption and yet its technology is so shit with no privacy and monero suffers from the fact the blockchain would eventually get centralized because not everyone can afford the latest terabyte hardware and the liquidity of monero is not at its strongest, also when push comes to shove people would rather take it in the ass and use their cbdcs over some abstract form of freedom in internet money, in part the concepts of blockchains themselves are kinda dogshit and i feel we will get some form of money of crypto 2.0 that wont rely on stupid blockchains, am tired of seeing so many scams i think the future of decentralization must be somehow out of this space

that's bullshit. Monero's blockchain is currently at 170 GB disk space. You can literally fit it into your phone.

Get rid of your own delusions.

START MINING IN P2POOL
>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

I just checked my running node and the entire blockchain is 165.197972 Gigabytes (I think it was like 145-150 in Jan or Feb). I have no idea what he is talking about considering my node runs on a secondhand gaming PC I got for $70, with an SSD that cost me an extra $50. If I opt for a RAID setup that allows redundancy, I might be looking at a $300-400 drive setup instead.

i have gold and silver too friend :) also Norwegian Krone and 0 (large) debts. i feel pretty secure in my diversification, XMR is just another string to my bow and every month i add more to each stack, this month was monero and a hedging short on btc. thanks for the kindness though

>>55251419
do you run at a loss?

>>55252181
Yes and no

It's a net (roughly) -$1 per day, but the security and connectivity it provides me and the rest of the world is way more than worth that dollar a day in my opinion, so I just consider it part of the proverbial "cost of doing business"

>>55252181
>>55252209
Also I should note that that -$1 a day comes from a node running a mining pool as well as 4 separate mining rigs, but I spent about 6 months slowly tweaking them to consume less and less power while maintaining hashrate and staying stable.

>>55252209
cool. how much XMR do you mine per period if you dont mind me asking?

>>55252270
give or take 0.009XMR per day with my current setup, for an upfront cost of roughly $3k in hardware.

> the security and connectivity it provides me and the rest of the world is way more than worth that dollar a day in my opinion
Absolutely, undeniably based

Monero's price (and even usability) might get ugly for a while. But in the end getting kicked out of every CEX will force the ecosystem to develop DEX solutions

Monero's price and adoption will take a hit for a while. But in the end getting kicked out of every CEX will force the ecosystem to develop DEX solutions

I expect this bear market to replicate the last one almost identically

so I believe we still have further to drop

also I believe in confluence with the fact that institutions might see now as the best time to get rid of their bitshit, they pushed the hype and probably got all they could get out of it, it's a clunky barely functioning piece of shit

I expect us to drop to 80 dollars within the next year

doubtful. the devs are basically a volunteer force of stoners and chink autists who come and go as they lose interest or get new pokemon games to play and dont understand end user functionality or how the average normie uses an app. because of this it will never have mass adoption by the retail class. and the institutional class will forever avoid it in favor for goytracking coins that report your social credit score back to the kike botnet to determine whether or not you earned your bugs for dinner, for obvious reasons.

>>55248265
The redpill is that Monero isn't a flimsy get-rich-quick scheme. Our goal isn't to trade our bags for fiat, we do not fear regulatory crackdown as people already use XMR for illicit transactions and most exchanges already don't list it. The goal should be to arrange your life in such a way to be able to conduct all of your transactions in Monero. There will probably be certain realities of the world that will make something like this impossible (property taxes, for instance) for now. However taking steps towards that goal is nonetheless worthwhile. Each step loosens the grip the state has over you, and because you are a part of a network of interconnected individuals, there will be second order effects that you attempting to arrange your life in that way will have on people. Monero is the greatest threat to the state to be created since the firearm. Your job is to try to convince those around you to be like-minded. Which is easier said than done, but that hard work is what is necessary because Monero adoption won't just happen.

I'm trying to walk the walk, and admittedly it is very difficult. However, there are really easy, small things you can do. Something as simple as wearing Monero merch. Just yesterday I had someone ask me "What is that logo on your hat?" and I gave them a brief summary of Monero in a way I thought might be appealing to them. Asking people who often work fairly cash-heavy businesses if you can tip in Monero might work too, someone like your barber. Setting up a public node for people to connect to can help make the onboarding process easier. There's tons of opportunity out there to spread the good word, do not be disheartened because someone else hasn't done it yet. Try to be one of the people doing it. Godspeed Anon.

>>55260130
>mass adoption by the retail class. and the institutional class

lol that goes for ALL of crypto, genius, govt-issued CBDCs will be made legal tender and given a monopoly on digital payments for obvious reasons.

Monero still survives and thrives under such a scenario, can't use CBDCs on the black market!

>monero suffers from the fact the blockchain would eventually get centralized because not everyone can afford the latest terabyte hardware

Syncing is the price you pay for not having addresses appear on the blockchain. If you don't care for that trade-off then have fun playing Russian Roulette with CoinJoin.

>>55257363
Bad take considering there is an option to skip this syncing.
Also obligatory "seraphis will fix this"(and much much more)

>>55261142
no option to "skip" syncing, but you CAN have a proxy listening and constantly syncing so when you go to check or spend, it's already done syncing.

>>55260840
Seraphis update brings a solution to the table for the sync times.
Rn you can have almost instant sync times but you have to give your view key to the node which is obviously a privacy problem unless the node its yours. In seraphis you will be able to provide a key to the node that doesnt reveal anything from your transaction history and will allow you to insta sync with the node.

Hypothetically speaking

>>55262710
>what is the best way to store your seed online?

>>55260264
I think monero should have a native stable coin. Something to swap monero for. I'm sure monero people can design an algorithmic stable coin that doesn't implode. The inflationary nature of monero would make it so people won't horde the stables either.

>>55262870
>I think monero should have a native stable coin
Stupid idea. This topic has been discussed to dead several times already.

>>55262710
>An encrypted keepasxc database inside a cryptomator vault inside a veracrypt encrypted disk
Probably too many layers, too much risk involved with forgetting even one complicated password. Really you just need one of those, anon. I would use veracrypt and use the hidden volumes feature, that way you can literally name the file "main wallet monero seed phrase" and set it up so that one password opens a decoy seed phrase text file with a trivial amount of monero in it, and a separate password opens up the real seed phrase. In the unlikely event that this file gets seized and the feds are demanding the password you can give them the decoy password and they won't know and can't prove that there's a different password that unlocks something else.

If you're going to upload the encrypted volume online make sure you're using a service that isn't going to delete your files after long periods of inactivity. Even google is going to start deleting accounts that haven't been logged into in 2 years.

>>55262815
Store the seed without the passphrase

Since you have to sync the blockchain to see if the wallets has funds, it is pretty hard to brute force the passphrase

then monero team should come up with something better. I'm sure they can figure it out, smart as they are.

I'm a bit burnt from /biz/ communities fuding each other and everyone thinking only their investment will succeed while all others fail. Is it possible that BTC will be valuable and useful (for reasons unknown), even if monero does become the best crypto for darknet and black/grey markets? I just don't wanna fall for the classic trap of bearish arguments sounding more sophisticated that bull arguments.

>>55263466
>Is it possible that BTC will be valuable and useful (for reasons unknown)

lol how? Its value is largely the result of outright fraud (wash trading) while its utility is basically negligible now, it lacks fungibility and the fees are comedy gold.

BTC is basically coasting on former glory at this point, and that can't last.

>>55263466
You're not alone. I think Bitcoin and Monero are both great, hold and use both regularly, and don't get the whole BTC maxi<->XMR maxi shit flinging competition that's going on. Both have freedom as their goal, though they take different approaches to that problem.

>>55263466
BTC is already valuable and useful. It is literally the most valuable crypto currency in the world, by a wide margin, and the most used.
Granted, its a young project, the bitcoin network is only 14 years old, and the block rewards are still high. Will BTC still be the most valuable and useful 120 years from now, when the final BTC is mined? It's anybodies guess, but I figure the best way to approach the future is to be vigilant and pay attention to what happens in the present, each day until the future arrives.

Personally, I think BTC will continue to survive. I think oridinals demonstrate that fees can serve as an alternative to block rewards for miners, and long term there will be more reasons to transact on bitcoin, generate fees, etc.
My main concern, the bitcoin network is slow to react, slow to adapt. Only in critical situations do people seem to mobilize, like with SegWit. People need to be encouraged to run full nodes, but its currently tricky for most people to do that. For the most part, people still rely on exchanges to act as custodian, but given the US legal situation, I think more people will be moving assets off exchanges and into wallets.
Kinda rambling now, but monero, it is not a darknet token, it is a payment token, and can be used for anonymous transactions. It's not some illicit substance, normal people can use it, normal people should not be considered criminals or associated with criminal activity for wanting to stay private.

>>55262870
Why would it need to be a "native stable coin"? I'm not really familiar with the term and am uncertain what it means.

>Something to swap monero for
If you're concerned about on ramps, afaik atomic swaps could be developed for coins other than Bitcoin. I don't know why people would need to create a stable coin for that.

>>55247430
seriously considering buying some wownero just to satisfy my bimbo fetish.

>>55263914
native as in algorithmic stable coin. Just a coin without dependancy, other than the main chain. I support atomic swaps between bitcoin and monero, super valuable in my mind. A stable coin that's native to monero shouldn't need atomic swaps to facilitate though. More like, xmr is used as collateral to 'mint' xmr-stable. I'm not too familiar with monero's capabilities, but I imagine something like that is doable.

Would it be ideal? Not sure, lack knowledge of monero. But I do know there is value in having a stable asset, even more valuable when tied to XMR.

>>55259866
>literally can't think on a longer timescale than 3 years

>>55263628
bitshit is over bro, your narrative died over 5 years ago now, let go

>>55263960
>there is value in having a stable asset
This is basically just an accounting fiction though. If everything was priced in XMR you'd say that dollars fluctuated wildly in value.

>>55263914
>>55263960
And for why it needs to be native, monero is a self-sufficient, batteries included ecosystem, but lacks access to a stable asset. When the price of a payment token fluctuates, it makes it inconvenient to use it for payments. A stable token is more consistent for payments. A stable token on monero should depend on an external asset to maintain its stability. It only need rely on the base layer token to mint, burn, exchange, etc.
>>55263976
Money is funny. Depending on how you look at it, a currency pair could either be green or red. Is bitcoin volatile compared to the dollar? Or does the dollar continue to lose value versus bitcoin? Or is it both? Same for any other currency pair desu. Sure we may perceive something as stable, but there could be instability in other places. I think so long as the mathematic proofs are correct then we can operate freely without having to think about it too hard.
To put brief, if it looks like a duck and acts like a duck, then i'll be damned if i don't treat it like one.

>>55264043

>>55263466
Bitcoin can eventually become a bearer asset used by white markets as collateral for loans without affecting the monero ecosystem, given that you can't actually make loans in bitcoin because there's no inflation. You can make loans in monero, but since you can't tell who owns what monero, it can't be used as collateral like, say, a house could.
This is the best "neutral end" I could come up with

>>55264527
He asked if it's possible, anon. I just gave the only path i could see happening. Pls no bully

>>55264529
Because unless velocity is high enough you can't pay back the loan without new currency creation. Hodl mentality in the community would fuck you.

>>55264661
We had a gold standard before and the economy worked just fine, despite the lack of free money printer loans, so I don't buy that. I guess loans would be more expensive, growth could be slower, and we'd have to save more, but I don't think that's a bad thing relative to the system we have now.

Did the monero reddit go private?

>>55264797
Gold does inflate though, not a ton but just enough so that you can loan it out and expect to be paid back with additional interest. Without that inflation the gold standard wouldn't have worked to begin with

The important part is that its inflation is slow because of how much effort is required to find, extract, and refine it. xmr tail emissions are supposed to basically be that long term which seems much more sustainable than whatever it is bitshitters think will work

is anyone here all in on XMR? i mean like 90% of your wealth here not just you put a decent chunk of change on it. if you are 90%+ net worth XMR can you state your reason for your conviction of why its the future? im trying to convince myself to buy 10 XMR right now which is a big chunk of change for me. ive already mostly decided its the future but im still kind of worried the masses of NPCs are retards who will never figure out that privacy is the only thing that matters and the sheep will just trade privacy for the illusion of "safety" because all those ebil "money laundering terrirsts" out there

The reason not to go YOLO on any crypto is that it's completely possible that governments attack any given crypto (or all crypto) at some point in time. Lets assume Monero weathers this storm eventually and you end up in the black even with it. Great!

But did you last? Like pretend it was illegal for 10 years, did you last?

If you didn't last, if it wrecked you, you aren't all in on XMR. You are all in on "the assumption that XMR will not have any meaningful opposition for long enough to wreck you". That's very different. A government can oppress hard and for a long time, after all.

Going all in on anything is a bet on short term events- that governments will be reasonable in the short term, etc. It's got precious little to do with the fundamentals.

>>55267761
Federated alternatives are pretty good and all, but why the fuck are you hosting in Germany? They have draconian speech laws, and tons of /pol/tards on here will say something that they'd say here with impunity, and then get banned for it -- it's a disaster waiting to happen.

>>55267822
>but why the fuck are you hosting in Germany?
I am not the admin of monero.house instance. But I agree with you, hosting in germany and adhering to their "woke-speech" laws is stupid.

I would say, spin up your own lemmy instance and host a monero community there/post your comments fom there.

Lemmy seems quite lightweight.

Apart from all of that, I also like what the monero.house admin does with his instance monetization: 0.01 XMR if you want to register an account on his server. I like this model. Monero is well-poised for such spam-account countering. It should be the de-facto registration for all internet forums (instead of email registries).

>>55265373
>>55267761
>>55267822
not good. I don't care how much you hate normies, they are necessary to facilitate the adoption of Monero. closing the community is in direct opposition to the objective of Monero adoption.

the average person doesn't know what lemmy is or how any of this shit works.

>>55267854
to add, closing the Monero subreddit does nothing to "stop le api changes" or whatever, but DOES harm Monero's reach, which is simply a negative to the project.

>>55267854
>the average person doesn't know what lemmy is or how any of this shit works.
nigger you are aware that you can use lemmy just like you use reddit? just register an account on any lemmy instance and start posting. How much more "normie-NPC-friendly" can this be? At some level we do well by filtering out actual retards.

> but DOES harm Monero's reach, which is simply a negative to the project.
Monero's main reach is on twitter. Nobody cares about leddit.

>>55267858
The people on Monero's reddit do not care about the API changes. They are piggybacking off the current momentum surrounding that to build up a more censorship resistant community elsewhere. Far less controversial reddit communities have received bans without warning, and it is wise to prepare for it.

As for your comments about "Monero's reach," they are frankly irrelevant. Monero as a project is incredibly well known among the people that will use it, and a subreddit being up or down won't impact the project that much. It is nice to have a place to talk about new developments and preach to the choir, but if that can be taken away at any time to appease shareholders, then we can't count on it one way or another. It's no big loss, and I'm a huge fedifag anyway, so I'm happy that things are moving in that direction.

There's a lot of discussion about federation, and its uses, so here's an interesting article about the topic. It goes into hypothetical confederal protocols, a kind of halfway point between p2p and federation with the strengths of both.

Sounds nice in theory, but I refuse to spend my bags Monero's liquidity sucks dick and its a major PIA to get any in the first place.
So it just sits.

lol the continuing abandonment of Bitcoin is really starting to speed up now: Cypher Market, one of the oldest DNMs around has announced they've finally decided to shitcan BTC and jump on the Monero-only bandwagon effective immediately.

I think this puts us at over 20 Monero-only DNMs now. For comparison, this time last year there were just 6.

Bitcoin is so fucked, its just a matter of how long it takes for a critical mass of bagholders to realize there's virtually no sustainable economic activity propping up the price.

>>55262710
Each seed can refer to multiple wallets, by default only the offset "0" is used which any wallet will check automatically. Put a comparatively small but plausible amount of monero here.

Then use the same seed with a random offset for your true savings wallet. Because of the high sync times brute forcing all offsets is not readable. (not sure what the maximum offset is, but even if you need only 5min per seed, you can only brute force 300 wallets/day)

Now the best part: set up a node with a view key for offset 0. Any attacker would withdraw the money from there first, giving you an early warning that you got compromised.

Diversify. $500 in metals, $500 in security, $500 in xmr, as an example. If $1500 worth of fiat is really that important to you right now, the best thing to do is to have it in cash. Don't put yourself at risk of the poor house because you aren't thinking rationally because of all the tales you read online. Having the peace of mind that comes with being ahead on bills or reaching short term capital goals is worth exponentially more than the fomo making you a nervous wreck because you're so illiquid that you're back to living between paydays. You're gonna make, but only if you value yourself.

Bump for "Seraphis Fixes This"

I2P copypasta pls

>>55278427

Threadly reminder that there is now a parallel XMR General on the darknet imageboard BitChan where you can post with the absolute maximum degree of privacy possible.

Why bother? Well, remember that every time you post on 4chan the content + your IP address are being logged and that data can and will be made available to LE/glowies upon request.

So if you need to ask a very delicate question, want to make a potentially incriminating announcement or you otherwise just absolutely positively DO NOT WANT to risk being deanonymized, the BitChan thread would be the place to do it.

The slightly higher barrier to entry also serves as a badly needed retard filter so a lot of us post there simply to avoid the hordes of mouth breathers that befoul this otherwise delightful basket weaving forum.

>How do I access BitChan?

You need to have I2P configured & running on your device. Fortunately, pre-configured browser bundles are now available and make everything easy. Since most of you lazy faggots are still using Windows we'll default to that for the following guide:

1. Visit https://i2pd.website/ and click on 'Download I2PdBrowser'.
2. Download either the I2PdBrowserPortable_xxx.7z or .exe file. Extract/install it.
3. Run the StartI2PdBrowser.bat batch file to launch. Adjust firewall settings/port forward as required. Port forwarding > UPnP

A cmd window will pop up and initialize the process. A windowed Firefox instance should soon appear. DO NOT RESIZE IT! Browser fingerprinting is a thing. Once pic-related appears you are officially browsing the darknet! You can monitor yr I2P service by visiting http://127.0.0.1:7070/ in yr *regular* browser.

Then simply copy/paste the following link into the address bar as per usual:

http://bitchan.i2p/thread/BM-2cVPN9mi9oBKATjNxKkopHJSCU9ah7wQwW/047186ce462d

You may have to complete a CAPTCHA on your first visit. Also, NEVER, EVER ENABLE JAVASCRIPT!!!!

At least with Tails she'd have a SECURE pre-configured wallet ready to go, with just a seed she'd need to SECURELY recreate the wallet from scratch, the odds of her fucking that up are even higher.

The seed should be used as a last resort if all else has failed.

>>55281653
>The probability of your house burning down is not astronomical. Device MTBF does not account for external factors

Well obviously you wouldn't keep all the drives in one location. Hand em out to trusted family and friends for safekeeping.

My op sec plan is probably to bury a paper seed in multiple properties that I own of course that no one would look

Secured within stainless steel and plastic, something like that, like a time capsule

Or behind a floorboard or something

Memorize your wallet password and I don't see the flaw with this

Basically the state would have to seize your property and do a large scale excavation to find it

Also let's say you do 3 separate wallets 1 hidden at each location

Even if 1 of them falls into someone's hands you've only lost 1/3

Basically the way I see it, you can be imprisoned, have all your properties stolen by the state, houses demolished etc

But if you can get back to the location with a shovel and night vision you still haven't lost it

Hear me out
If crypto, lets say monero, make it to the big leagues and gains an important level of adoption from the masses then a crypto bank will be necessary
>inb4 nice try fbi
I'm not talking about any bank that currently exists, a new form of institution would have to be born. it goes down like this:
>client go to bank to open account
>bank does complete KYC
>client transfer crypto to bank wallet
>bank is now 100% responsible for the crypto in the clients account. they CAN'T use your crypto, they can only store it
>bank hands over a view key so client can check at all times the real balance of the wallet
>client uses app to transfer crypto from their bank account to personal wallet or to pay for stuff -- max withdraw amounts are set by the client and can only be changed with the client going in person to the bank. example, you can set a maximum amount of 5 xmr to be withdrew per week so in case someone steals your bank app credentials they would only be able to do so much damage
>bank system must be robust - air gaped wallets that communicate with the client app though a system of qr codes to sign transactions or some highly paranoid system along with proper backup system
>bank must have top notch physical security, probably war-level weaponry, and computers (without network capabilities) holding seeds should be in underground facilities
>bank charges their client certain amount monthly for this service
>client can go in person at any time and withdraw all of their crypto
>client can create a list of trusted people. these people would be able to withdraw the crypto as well
>contract will be signed in which these point are clearly stated and in case of contract infringement by the bank then you can unleash a legal wrath on them

>>55284206
pros:
>all the big fuck ups are in the bank side now, and so the bank must repay their client in case of crypto gone
>no need to spread sheets of metal in all of you relatives houses and explain your tech illiterate family what to do in case you die and hope nothing would go wrong. just like current bank accounts, the family would be the legal owner of the crypto in case of death
>normies would be able to use crypto without getting scammed too hard or shooting themselves in the feet
>in case of lose of credentials you just need to provide ID so you can regain access to your crypto

cons:
>requires limited state power, clear and strong property rights in the constitution. a state with too much power or too corrupt would be able to grab the crypto regardless
>you can be taxed
>bank and therefore government will know that you own that crypto
>not your keys, not your crypto. this is only true to certain degree which is proportional to the institutional strength of the country. the more strong the private property rights the more "yours" become the crypto stored in the bank

if i would have a life changing amount in crypto i would seriously consider using a system like this to save at least 50% of my bags.

>>55284394
by big leagues i mean only wide adoption, i'm not pointing at any type of market.
if a country doesn't ban crypto and people find it more convenient than other currencies then that crypto might become widely adopted

>>55284436
i know where you are coming from, i understand. but in the cons i clearly stated that the country must have strong private property rights.
tell me friend, do you use a bank or have you ever used one in your life? i for one have to use a bank and i hate it, but its a tradeoff. i don't want to have a mountain of cash in my house.
people have used bank for centuries and the bigger problem we face when it comes to using bank is that they run out of liquidity. with the proposed system, they wouldn't be able to run out of liquidity.
gold have been seized from banks through history but its something that can be seen from the distance. if you see the political system is becoming corrupt then act before they do. getting crypto out of the bank should be easier than getting gold out.

>>55284591
banking was a thing for the wealthy in the past

currently banks function as a societal extortionist force

I can really only see the wealthy opting to use an xmr bank

in the future I believe many of the systems and "trust" built into the digital surveillance fiat structure will be a thing of the past

that's why I like the term, neo feudalist, or corporatism

rule of law will necessarily erode, we will live in a corporatist state, where trust will be low, vast swaths of land will most likely be abandoned

kind of like a technological pioneer age, a transitionary period from the old fiat system to a more loosely "policed" unless of course you're on corporate territory

the total collapse of fiat is on the horizon, self reliance will be important, xmr will be for the "luxuries" of life

being from america to me it lines up with the wild west, but also the pioneer settlement of any state, local justice and a more loose form of law

>>55249320

My bags. Should buy more.

should we use tools like monero to survive the abuse of the state or should we go to the 'streets' and challenge the system so we don't have to hide like rats?
after all the state is a form of organization created by the citizens that has to have in mind the interest of its people when acting, if it derails from that then it is our duty to set it straight.
if everyday on your way home some asshole punch in the guts and take away your money what do you do?
-you pick another road and hide your money in the hopes he doesn't find you again
-you fight the bastard and teach him a lesson
it seems obvious to me which one is the ideal

a little of column a a little of column b

Does anyone else keep thinking about the metadata or the third-party risk kind of ruining moneros potential?
Like look at what makes XMR good: It's that the privacy status is the default. For the average user, there's no dumb way to spend it or receive it. A tech illiterate friend of yours could send you xmr to repay a dinner check and he can't deliberately or through his incompetence fuck with your privacy.
But that doesn't stop him from having an iphone with his reminder app set to cloud upload with a note in it that says "PAY ANON X.X XMR FOR DINNER". In the case of businesses, whether you're legit, tax-evading or selling le weed on the dark webz it's the same. Your transactions are private, great. But whats stopping Dorothy from tallying up payroll in an excelsheet on her windows 10 machine? You think Josexxxdrugz4u on darknetmarket.garlic has an IT department that makes sure personal info gets deleted after receipt of payment?

>>55285808
If you're playing the long game, then no to the latter. If you have no institutional power, you should hide like a rat as long as possible, make no action against the powers that be, and do nothing to attract their attention.
Take the Amish, Mennonites, or Hutterites for example. They go so far as to be pacifists, absolutely no one sees them as a threat, but have spent hundreds of years in North America accumulating land, wealth, and growing their population from hundreds to millions. In the long run, despite being pacifists, they are much more likely to inherit the earth than we are.

>>55285808
>>55286492
Basically, the longer you can go without drawing attention, the longer you have to accumulate resources, power, and influence to the point that you are an actual threat. Any overt action taken before then would just get you squashed down.

>>55286068
Retards gonna tard regardless, but xmr at least ensures they can’t leak too much information. With your examples, even if they have a wallet address written somewhere the only thing an outside observer can see is that you’re associated with that wallet. Even the taxman can’t prove that any transfer actually occurred. Overall it’s a net gain, and way better than the panopticon that is dollar finance

>>55286492

Maybe they don't have anything and just want to punish the guy by putting him through the legal system in the first place. The only thing I can think of is some kind of tax evasion/money laundering. I'd also be surprised if this guy was having people mail it to his actual home, getting a virtual address is pretty easy, though if there's a warrant you can get sold out.

>>55270348
>Sounds nice in theory
It definitely is easier said than done, but that's my goal.
>I refuse to spend my bags
So why do you have it? Just for fiat number to go up?
>Monero's liquidity sucks dick
Not sure how true this is since I have not and will not sell for fiat.
>its a major PIA to get any in the first place.
Not really, depends on how private you want that onboarding to be. Just sending fiat to some rando via Venmo is still way better than getting it from an exchange.

As i said, look what happened with Atomic Wallet.

The fact that exodus is closed source is already a reason not to use it. We cant know how they handle the private keys

And support so many coins is a pretty big red flag for me too.

>>55292168
>And support so many coins is a pretty big red flag for me too.
Wait, I agree with the other stuff you said but why is supporting multiple coins a red flag? Is that why cake wallet made a separate app for just monero?

>>55292252
>Wait, I agree with the other stuff you said but why is supporting multiple coins a red flag?
More support for more coins = wider attack surface.

>Is that why cake wallet made a separate app for just monero?
Possibly but I think they just like showing off their monero.com domain at any given opportunity

>>55289229
Fediverse/ActivityPub is already pretty popular, widely interoperable with many platforms, though the protocol is kind of kludgey/complex. Nostr is well designed and doesn't lead to as much tribalism, but has less audience and some admins look like they want to janny. Blue sky is lol.

You make me feel like I'm the only fed in the world

based XMR chads doing God's work

>>55292168
needs to be updated, cake wallet no longer supports fiat to xmr.

>>55291443
the only real drawback is that it's close source. other than that it offers you all the features that you'd expect out of a crypto wallet - self custody of private keys and ability to transfer funds. note that you have to use desktop exodus wallet in order to export private keys of currencies monero included.
>>55291544
eh, i wouldn't store a lot of crypto on it but it's a great analogue to a physical wallet - keep as much crypto on it as you'd expect to spend. it's just really convenient and a good choice for normalfags who won't buy more than 100$ worth of crypto anyway just to test the waters of self custody which is the point of crypto.

I'm just saying whether we're talking (((activists))) or feds or even criminals - they will want your data. and what better way to attack that data at its end points rather than spend effort trying to break the encryption?

Are we going back to $100?

>>55293314
>what better way to attack that data at its end points
Well yes, but that is much more difficult than if you're broadcasting that data to anyone who will listen. There's no way to ensure all data related to you will stay purely with those it is intended to be shared with. Faulty opsec and is typically how people get caught, but that's only because routes that are easier for your enemies are kneecapped by tools we can use. It is a good thing that they are playing whack-a-mole rather than trying to break the system.

Looks like fud to me. What retard playing big man would do it stark naked on clearnet like that? Real name as ID? Unencrypted comms? No burner address? Not obfuscating mailing address? 5 figure shipments? More likely he was robbed than pinched, if this fishy ass story has any merit. You'd think he'd give returning clients an alternate form of comms to prevent this exact thing, but I can't believe that any monero aficionado can be that retarded when it comes to opsec.

Bitcoin is a fully decentralised web of nano sharks conjuring the old gods of smartness, hovering in the never-ending stream of independence, continously accelerating without pause through a cyber chain of unlimited power.

>>55284591
A country can go from having strong "private property rights" to "no property rights" with a single revolution.

can soemone explain why doesnt ethereum or bitcoin just copy the security code in monero and make their coins private?

>>55297462

Because you can't just bolt privacy on like that, it has to be designed and built from the ground up.

>>55297510
my fear about stacking too much monero is that one day people will realize they want the privacy and all the regular top normie coins will get protocol updates to copy monero because monero has no patents or legal protection on proprietary technology and its open source

>>55297462
Etherium is possed centralized garbage its retail that gives power to crypto and institutions can stay in that pos garbage but people will move on

If bitcoin adopted moneros tech it would be a net win considering i think monero is probably competing with zk rollups thought i don't have the expertise to defend that but ideally etherium kills itself and if bitcoin adopts some form of privacy its a net win

>>55297587
pointless when monero exists

>>55297905
even if bitcoin "adopted privacy", that still wouldn't fix the mining and supply problem

>>55297587
The incentives just don't really work like that, honestly unfortunately. See, you should WANT this to happen. Monero is a tool to a goal. Putting your money into XMR is a bet on ubiquitous monetary privacy. If something else also accomplishes that and does it better overall, we should be happy to adapt to the situation. That could mean incorporating similar technologies, or jumping ship entirely.
The much more likely outcome is that opportunistic people who mostly just want to get rich quick, partner with the government to entrench their own position. Think someone like SBF. This involves concessions to the government in that they will not be any kind of threat to their power. It seems that state officials are happy with "digital assets" being more or less meaningless gambling tokens, as long as they get their cut. Call them all securities, operate in a way they can audit without any kind of reasonable suspicion or warrant, so they know for sure you're paying your taxes on this. Technology that allows you to operate outside of their control is a threat to them.
They pacify the revolutionary aspect of the technology by taking the heads of corporations into the fold, and these people are happy to do it because it means they can solidify their position and continue to gain wealth. They sell it to the public through media gatekeepers and suppress opposing views wherever possible. They keep people ignorant through lies by omission, outright misrepresentation, burying the lede, etc. So far it seems they intend to mostly ignore it as long as possible.

>>55297938
But i mean the nodes are the ones that decide and ordinals proved if enough people are retarded to use on-chain transactions it can become economically viable to only rely on fees like satoshi wanted

I did fiat to bitshit to xmr a few weeks ago

did it used to be just fiat to xmr

that would be better

>>55298000
no, it really can't, and time will show that you're horribly wrong

if i send my xmr to another wallet and back to the same one, can i just use the current date for restore height?

>>55298238
Yes, you can effectively reset your restore height by doing that. You can just send it to your own address, no second wallet needed.

>>55297905
have you seen the BTC mailing list. KEK those fucks will never ever agree to such a change. Privacy is no concern to them. One thing that had a privacy element was stripped out and made into a "fee reducer" "transaction size reducer" and took I shit you not 5 years to deliver. With this BTC enhancement, instead of 5x fees they are only 1x so still 50$. Bitcoin is utter corporate Jew garbage guys, very sad.

>>55297920
not really dumbass. people who hold millions of $ worth of BTC are not just going to take a loss and migrate to monero. there will always be manipulation from the people who have the assets.

>>55298736
they'll take the loss whether they like it or not as bitcoin is a failing currency

>>55298764
i hope youre right it would make XMR the opportunity of a lifetime. XMR is basically what bitcoin said it was going to be. every normie i talk about cryptocurrency with unrioncaily thinks BTC is untraceable and thats why the government hates it

>>55298736

I noticed that stack, you're a genius to think of it. I bet you're either using ddr3 and/or laptops now, but I started making less than you, keep it up!

My portfolio :

>$200 monero
>13k silver 7k Gold
>30k oil, uranium, and royalty companies
>10k in commercial office REITs and dividend companies.

It is the perfect time for me to accumulate Monero. In the short term the regulatory fuckery will likely cause Monero to drop below 100 dollars but in the end, the tech's usefulness (private, cocaine backed, cartel secured) will win in the end.

>>55298727
Where can i see that, if the fuckers don't care or don't have some plans then bitcoin is fucked i just care xmr becomes more mainstream and maybe even get smart contracts (i don't know if we currently havw something like a communication network thats similar to zaps) or for bitcoin to eventually get privacy those are the only 2 horses that matter

i just said 12 because they are so cheap right now and you want spares as you noted, and being by yourself in a SHTF scenario where there is no rule of law and angry mobs of peasants roaming the countryside for food is not a good place to be. you will want your family to help with security and there will inevitiably be friends or neighbors that you will need to arm because they were too retarded to think of it beforehand. what do you think people are going to be like in a year when gas is $20/gallon and food has 100xd?

>>55247430
Realistically speaking, how much is it to mine Monero and is it worth the extra cost of electricity? I'm considering mining because I'm a poorfag and need something to keep me afloat but I don't want to mine at a loss.

The great decoupling is upon us. One of our smart jewcoin followers is jumping ship to monero ahead of schedule, enriching himself at the expense of his fellow jewcoin whales. His holding the line at 133 instead of letting us goyim buy the cheap monero. It is happening

>>55305455
It’s a colluded entity attack. It’s gonna cost some money to even create test conditions. Like buying a bunch of hash power type shit and seeing if you can gather info on transactions happening. Ultimately fruitless as there is no issue imo but good to be ahead and glad to see it’s picked up some funding momentum

>>55305926
>>55305455
no an EAE attack concerns poisoned outputs being given to a person in the middle, who then sends those poisoned outputs to the colluding exchange/entity.

What do I do if a service only accepts BTC?
Do you have any preferred hardware wallets? Which ones are they and why.

Satoshi Nakamoto didn't have a time machine when he wrote the original Monero whitepaper in 2008.

>>55307328
Find another service that cares about privacy. Otherwise, create a new wallet, transfer XMR to it, atomic swap for BTC, use it, and never touch that wallet again

>>55307380

Bytecoin launched before Monero did, genius.

>>55307568
