Welcome to the /XMR/ Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's most widely adopted privacy coin.

Monero payments are anonymous, low-fee by design and fully fungible, meaning users can send XMR globally without issue and receive XMR without having to worry about tainted coins. Battle-tested privacy tech (Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses and RingCT) ensures that critical TX data cannot be gleaned from the Monero blockchain. Thus by default, the TX history of all Monero users is kept hidden from the prying eyes of adversaries, with TXs being optionally transparent via the aid of a view key.

Monero algorithmically ensures low TX fees by employing a dynamic (elastic) block size that can "stretch" to easily accommodate sudden TX spikes.

Monero's bespoke mining algorithm, RandomX, is optimized for devices using general-purpose CPUs e.g. desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, keeping the barrier to entry low and ASICs out of the equation.

Monero's tail emission - 0.6 XMR every block forever - financially incentives for-profit miners to keep mining, helping boost long-term network security. This constant linear inflation asymptotically trends to zero and is offset somewhat by a steady rate of coin loss.

Monero has thus far proven to be the only altcoin capable of overcoming BTC's network effect by driving it out of the darknet economy BTC dominated for over 10 years. Monero is now also starting to overtake BTC in clearnet commerce as well. See below.

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

>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!!!

>How to *safely* acquire, store and spend XMR

An optimal XMR user set-up involves 2 separate wallets: an offline cold wallet (savings account) and an online hot wallet (chequing account) for everyday spending. XMR amounts larger than a few hundred dollars worth should not be stored on a hot wallet for obvious reasons. So ideally, you'll want to direct all payments/donations to your cold wallet by default and then transfer smaller amounts over to your hot wallet as necessary.

Relying on 3rd party hardware wallets comes with certain security caveats so they are not recommended. Instead, its surprisingly easy to engineer a very robust storage solution yourself using readily available hardware: a laptop and a smartphone.

>Laptop

This will be running Featherwallet and must be *permanently* disabled from ever connecting to the internet again! That means physically removing the M.2 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi card and gumming up the ethernet port with superglue.

OS should be Linux rather than Windows, preferably a Debian-based lightweight distro. Encrypting the relevant user directory with LUKS is recommended but not essential.

It must have a functional webcam.


>Smartphone

This can be your primary device. It will host both your hot wallet e.g. Cake, Monerujo, etc and the NERO view-only wallet that is paired with your laptop.

To set everything up: https://4rkal.com/posts/feathernero/

NOTE: if you don't have a laptop you can use another smartphone and install the ANON wallet onto it, its essentially the same thing but with somewhat weaker security guarantees. Video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJqYzZyqyno

>In a nutshell

- you accept all (substantial) payments to your cold wallet.
- you monitor incoming payments on NERO.
- you initiate the transfer of funds from your cold wallet to hot wallet on NERO and sign the TX on your laptop via QR codes.
- you spend the funds and help grow the XMR economy.


FYI this is the most secure storage solution currently available.

>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainable

Wash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013.

>Wash Trading 101
1. create/maintain the illusion of high volume
2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in
3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bag

When the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.

TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.

Just stumbled in here and watched the one of the videos, this project seems kind of interesting. For any anons who are knowledgeable about this stuff, if Monero is supposed to stay consistent, is there any play in buying to hold or is the whole point using it to buy drugs/other stuff? Do you guys hold it long term or just switch to a stablecoin? Also do you think its even worth trying to mine on a laptop?

>mining on laptop
not worth it, anything that pulls less than like 10KH/s is pretty dog shit unless it cost you absolutely nothing to purchase and power it. You can check a CPU's benchmarks at https://xmrig.com/benchmark just skip down to the middle-ish of the results because they are ranked, the top is the fastest ever recorded on that chip not the OOTB average.

As far as how to use it, it's completely up to you. Don't shit yourself and fret over buying "low" to sell "high" but be aware when the rates are sitting lower than they have in a long time, if at that time you have surplus fiat and want to convert some of it, then don't feel like a "cheater" for simply acknowledging a good deal. Over all, make it a point to LEARN about Monero and its technology.

You are thinking Bitmain X5 model. It was NOT an ASIC. It bundled together 6 riscv CPUs and made a miner machine for Monero. It was not an ASIC, still mined on CPU.

>$890 now, $1,799 "previously"
>212KH/s @ 1350w
So I get 19.5-19.9 KH/s (PBO2 UV vs static clocks+UV) on my 7950Xs, for ~130W. 212/19.9=10.65 PCs to get that hashrate, 10.65*130W=1384.5W. So the ongoing electricity cost is similar to X5, that's surprisingly satisfying, at least in that aspect "dedicated miner hardware" doesn't have an advantage over upper tier consumer CPUs.
However 10 of my PCs (if I specced them just for mining, like X5) would cost me ~$700*10=7k dollars for the same hashrate. So it seems that while not being exactly an ASIC, this is a miner box that is cheaper upfront and comparable in electricity cost. This could be considered an "unfair advantage" for "miner hardware" vendors, no?
Of course my PCs are normal PCs and can be used for more things than just mining, but in theory so could be those RISC-V CPUs - I guess there's some software lock in place to prevent reusing them without Antminer firmware/OS/whatever.

>> No.59416317

>>59416307
Oh, and there's that possibility they are selling X5s at loss since they've already profited from "testing" them, aka mining for themselves, I don't know. But still at least upfront cost appears to be lower.
Also I haven't taken server CPUs into account at all, maybe there's a sensible configuration where you can pay less than 7k in hw (but nowhere near $899 I guess) and get lower watts?

No unfair advantage whatsoever. Stop using commie lingos. They innovated on XMR production hardware, they did so while using CPU -- all fair game.

Monero devs shouldn't touch RandomX at any and all technological innovation in part of industry pioneers. That would be punishing innovation.

I don't like Bitmain as a company but they innovated fair and square and have produced a product for Monero users. You can choose not to buy it, but ehat they did was free market stuff.

Alright, so when would it stop being a fair game? If they had a custom CPU that was much more efficient than Intel/AMD (say, 10x more efficient for same watts), would it still be "okay" because they didn't say it's an ASIC?
Don't get me wrong, if someone can produce better hardware then who am I to forbid, but on the other hand part of what drawn me to XMR was that you could get a "fast vidya PC" and get like 5 dollars a month instead of 0, as with other coins where an average anon can't even play along (mostly looking at Bitcoin) on consumer CPUs. And at least reading in Monero discussion places, this notion seems somewhat popular, that this ASIC resistance is what allows normal people to kinda compete. And the way I understood your previous post, it seemed that you wanted to say that as long as it's just technically not ASIC then this isn't "bad". Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Monero devs who worked on RandomX themselves has proclaimed that any futire improvement in CPU tech would be good for us all. So they already had in mind tyat XMR would fuel a faster CPU research and development work on the industry's side.

OK, this makes sense with the assumption that if a mining hw vendor figured out a way to make faster general purpose CPUs, then the knowledge would be shared or also discovered by typical CPU vendors. In the opposite scenario that mining vendor kept it secret (they'd stay the only ones with CPUs fast beyond comparison), the effect would be similar to building an ASIC, right?

Stablecoins are the preferred MoE for illicit activity because they're pegged to a predictable asset criminals already use. Problem is, they're traceable and subject to seizure. Which is why you don't see them being used on DNMs. Otherwise, they absolutely would be the #1 choice.

>Fifteen Defendants Charged in Operation Targeting Conversion of Bulk U.S. Cash Proceeds from Drug Sales into Cryptocurrency for Mexican Cartels

MIAMI – A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned a superseding indictment yesterday charging nine individuals for conspiring to launder U.S. currency into cryptocurrency on behalf of drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia and for the operation of an unlicensed money transmitting business.

These recent charges are the result of a law enforcement operation that uncovered a network of black market cryptocurrency launderers and unlicensed money transmitters. The same investigation has resulted in the conviction of three individuals and charges against an additional three individuals.

According to the superseding indictment, between 2020 and mid-2023, nine defendants and their co-conspirators worked together to pick up bulk cash, derived from drug sales in various cities throughout the United States. They would then coordinate to exchange the cash for cryptocurrency that was sent to wallets controlled by the defendants or their co-conspirators. The cryptocurrency would then be converted into cash and delivered to cartel leaders in Mexico and Colombia.

There is no "zcash people", the Zcash community that cared about privacy has been left abandoned as Zcash was initially a pump and dump. Zcash was hyped before release (celebrity endorsements, special "ceremony", etc) and insiders got a considerable portion of the early blocks' rewards. When Zcash finally launched, it traded as high as 3.300 BTC = $2.000.000 per 1 unit of ZEC. Zooko got the bag, and since then he has been milking ZEC dry. You can check the price records, open POLONIEX:ZECBTC.

Promises? Unfulfilled. ChainAnal claims 99% of ZEC is traceable without any heuristics. Round-trip-transactions de-anonymize the rest.

>its eth but with zksnarks privacy?

Basically. "DarkFi is a base layer for anonymous applications and smart contracts that aims to be multi-chain interoperable."

DarkFi's key advantage over similar efforts is the people behind it, namely their impeccable cypherpunk credentials and uncompromising commitment to agorism, which makes them equivalent to Monero Extremists. This, in turn, engenders genuine respect for their work and tech and makes it very likely that (assuming its actually useful) it will eventually see some kind of real-world adoption and endorsement by influential circles.

>how do you buy it? or can you only mine it right now?

Mainnet hasn't launched yet. But it will be merge-mined with Monero, they're currently figuring out how to integrate RandomX.

>is it affiliated with xmr?

Technologically, ideologically and socially, yeah, the DarkFi people are present at every major Monero event, have been for years now. In fact, it was Amir that kept pushing for Monero to finally ditch ring signatures, offered to help replace them with zk-SNARKs. We would likely be heading in that direction right now if Luke hadn't figured out how to achieve the same goal using Bulletproofs++.

>DarkFi is not a project or a company. We are a community and a movement.
>Counter-economics gives us tools to architect systems that empower free communities.
>Crypto-anarchy is the tactic of using cryptography for counter-economics.
>Privacy technologies are emerging stronger than ever and are completely unstoppable.

Just think you are taxed to pay miners. In a coin with limited suply you would still lose value over time: with 10 years ago with 10 coins you could spent 9.99 with 0.01 transfer fee; 10 years later your wallet only worth 8 coins because you automatically lose 2 fee coins when doing a transaction
It's reasonable to assume that value burnt faster in an inflation chain (monero) than a limited suply chain (bitcoin), but monero still triumph because cheap transaction fees.

The community are all moonfags, literally not a single anarchist or agorist among them. All they dwell on is price and how to convince more people to buy ZEC and pump their bags. There is this hilarious sense of entitlement that as "early investors" they have a God-given right to get their bags pumped.

And all these years they've coped by convincing themselves that zk-SNARKs gives ZEC some insurmountable edge over the competition, primarily Monero and that eventually ZEC will take the throne because its inevitable or something.

What has actually happened is that Team Monero wisely refused to compromise on privacy-by-default, fielded a product that still works great despite certain shortcomings and is now set to become the ultimate privacy coin with the adoption of ZKP membership proofs.

There really isn't any plausible roadmap to victory for Zcash anymore, they're about to lose the only tech advantage they've ever had.

And on that note, here's an entire thread of Z-fags wondering about "what went wrong?"

Disaster! Unheard-of disaster!
See, it comes!
The end has come!
The end has come!
Doom has come upon you,
See, the day!
See, it comes!
Doom has burst forth,
a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
nothing of value.
The time has come!
The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

What's the point of this when we have coinjoin and lightning? Also, infinite supply and no auditing. It's a mess.

>> No.59475505

>>59475336
Coinjoin and lighting don't work for privacy.
Too many people got caught because of chain analysis so darknet sellers stopped accepting Bitcoin.

Also the monero supply can be audited, it's frequently done.
Just Google it and you'll find articles, posts, and videos of people doing it and showing how to do it.

I think the deadline is the 31st.
I'm not sure they would sell anyway, monero isn't easy to get and they still need liquidity for the US market and other places where they still list XMR. There probably won't be a strong movement.

So if there's a lot of inactive holders then it looks like they WILL sell. Checkmate, liberal.

Kinda doubt it since they already had two major selloffs when they announced the delisting. Whatever's left in Kraken EU hasn't been touched in 9 months. It's probably gonna dump with the Bitcoin retrace though.

Right now I run a pruned node and mine on a single mid processor. If I make it with Monerochan I will run a full node and mine on multiple top processors. I will stack my gains in Monero. Also I will become involved in Monero development, be programming or donations. If anything, this a moonshot to make Monero more alive. Those who will buy Monerochan were never going to buy Monero anyway.
