Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized p2p privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and borderless, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT (hidden tx amounts) ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with the proof of the transactions being possible by a Monero user willingly providing a view key for a specific transaction if needed.

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

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

Depends on how you define easy, but the OP has a list of exchanges and services that are all pretty straightforward. If you had never used crypto before, i think kucoin would probably be most intuitive. You can also find plenty of vendors on localmonero with rock solid reps and thousands of verified trades from whom you could buy p2p.

Modern banking invariably leaves a paper trail. You can obfuscate but you'll always leave something that can be detected and followed up. The news is full of this kinda stuff:

>Mexican drug cartels turned to shell companies to launder millions of dollars through an intricate scheme

>Mexican drug cartels have turned to shell companies to launder millions of dollars, through an intricate scheme that involves national and international money transactions.

>Legal documents indicate that criminals use straw men to create these companies, including real state companies, jewelry stores, and consulting services; all these companies made transactions that do not match their tax returns. Furthermore, the money laundering network uses housewives, students, and bank employees.

https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/english/mexican-drug-cartels-used-these-shell-companies-launder-money

Using crypto is a no-brainer for these kinds of dealings. With atomic swaps in the works its just a matter of time, we're already starting see things moving in that direction:

>Cali Drug Cartel Member Arrested for Crypto Money Laundering

>According to some estimates, in 1996, the Cali Cartel generated about $7 billion in annual revenue from the US alone. To launder its money, the Cali Cartel had a complex structure of more than 50 businesses. When the authorities captured its ringleaders in 2006, they agreed to pay a $2.1 billion forfeiture.

>But considering the modus operandi of this mysterious character who is believed to have helped set up this complex criminal structure, perhaps Interpol is relieved that privacy coins like Monero didn’t come about until several decades after Cali Cartel peaked.

Okay, so let's assume that you've managed to successfully stash all of your illicit earnings in Monero or whatever other coin you want. What then? You can't buy a house with crypto and you still can't explain where all your coins came from.

Also, if Monero catches on as a tool to launder billions upon billions of dollars a year it will eventually get cracked by some sort of government agency. If that happens anyone who ever used Monero to launder money in the past might as well have been using bitcoin or some other very traceable cryptocurrency and is fucked. This makes relying on Monero extremely risky in the long run.

You can't deposit illicit earnings into a bank account either, at least not without the potential of having them seized. At least with crypto you can cash out small amounts at a time without raising suspicion.

>Also, if Monero catches on as a tool to launder billions upon billions of dollars a year it will eventually get cracked by some sort of government agency.

"Will?" I have no doubt many will try, the question is how likely are they to succeed given the cryptographic complexities involved.

>If that happens anyone who ever used Monero to launder money in the past might as well have been using bitcoin or some other very traceable cryptocurrency and is fucked.

In any case, XMR adoption continues to grow on the darknet and will likely end up the default means of payment. We'll also start to see a lot more kidnapping/extortion cases where XMR is demanded, its too easy of a crime, you don't have to physically show up to collect the ransom.

>I just don't see how Monero could possibly be useful for money laundering past a slightly more secure (if even that) way of wiring money from place A to place B.

Security and simplicity, with a few clicks you're sending potentially billions to your business associates without middlemen, without having to jump through all the regulatory hoops. Less moving parts = less things are likely to get "complicated"

Also, private balances equates to true banking secrecy. One thing I hate about BTC is that anybody that knows my address can see how much I own.

Do you really think that normies care enough about Monero or cryptocurrencies at all at the moment? If more and more people see a proper use case in getting money away from the hands of the authorities, then there's much potential for XMR's price to increase. Those centralized exchanges don't matter much when there are decentralized peer-to-peer solutions around.

They can't force it, since privacy coin isn't legal, America isn't the world, the worse they can do is try to delist XMR, which is un-ironically very good for marketing which means billions of $$$ will flow into XMR because the privacy feature is is so good, for very good people who need privacy.

Ever-increasing demand from the underground will organically start a bullrun, FOMO will do the rest.

>Latin American crime cartels turn to cryptocurrencies for money laundering

"In a sign of the lengths organized crime is going to avoid moving hard cash, U.S. officials have told Reuters that cartels are also turning to Chinese “money brokers” who use burner phones and Chinese banking apps to move funds."

"A drop in seizures of hard currency, from $741 million in 2011 to $234 million in 2018, suggests newer technologies including cryptocurrency laundering are gaining ground, according to a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) report published in January this year. Most of the money came from Colombian and Mexican cartels, it said."

"The DEA told Reuters the use of digital currencies by such cartels - or Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs)- was an “emerging and increasing trend to launder illicit proceeds”."

"“Both Mexican and Colombian TCOs are increasing their use of virtual currency because of the anonymity and speed of transactions,” said spokesman Michael Miller. “It is believed the use of virtual currency will only increase in the future.”"

Just for the record I'm not trying to FUD. I am actually thinking seriously about buying XMR, just doing some due diligence. I appreciate the help.

Yeah the black market drugs FUD was used against BTC, but once BTC got on exchanges in 2012 (around the same price as XMR is now) it eventually became legitimised. With XMR forced off these 'legitimate' buying avenues I fail to see how Monero's price gets passed the underground level.
Also, if XMR is entirely underground I call that a risky hold - just because if the state ever did come across a way to kill/handicap the coin they would be inclined to.

From the same article:

"The only thing tougher than smuggling drugs across borders is getting the profits back to cartels, officials say. Cash is heavy, and transporting it exposes traffickers to high risk. Putting it into banking systems geared to detect dirty money is perilous, too."

In other words, there are significant incentives for them to shift into crypto. Which is what we're slowly staring to see:

"Larger sums have begun to crop up across the region over the last three years, with a team of international police breaking up three Colombian drug gangs laundering millions of dollars via cryptocurrencies, authorities say."

Won't happen overnight but a gradual and steady increase should be expected. And demand drives price.

>>25312003

>But will FOMO really happen without norman-friendly, easy to use on ramps like Coinbase etc.?

With atomic swaps, its piss-easy since you don't have to buy XMR directly. You buy BTC on Coinbase then swap it for XMR without anybody the wiser. No fees, no middlemen, just an instant exchange. And if they think XMR is going to be the next BTC you can bet your ass speculators will be scrambling like motherfuckers.

Monero is available on plenty of exchanges. Kraken is a large American exchange and they are huge supporters of Monero.
The state has no legal way of banning p2p crypto. Read through the fincen document it’s bullish about Monero as it declares that al crypto is on the same level.
The feds can’t ban torrents and they can’t ban for and they can’t ban crypto. They can make money laundering illegal obviously and they can come with with regulations with crypto and all this will do is push people towards Monero to avoid chain analysis.
With monero there is no difference than other cryptos — you keep track of your purchases of Monero on exchanges and you note any crypto to Moneto taxable events. It is compliant with regulations. It’s no different than someone who has gold and who needs to declare a sale of it.
All this regulatory fud is keeping the price low but as more and more people realize Monero can’t be banned and Monero is compliant,more exchanges list it and its value will rise.

And in the early 10s people were absolutely fudding Bitcoin with this same regulatory concern (which, by the way, is all hot air as there is countless legal decisions supporting encryption and cryptography).

rpc allows people to scan the actual blockchain on your computer and send transactions directly whereas when you are running a node normally you are seeding your blockchain and relaying transactions.

you do understand that your comment is a meme away from making monero the top crypto?
"bitcoin was pumped through scam stablecoin"???
how about
"bitcoin is a ponzi of unbacked money scam"
or
"despite being available since 2014, monero has a less than one tenth of a share of ALL darknet deals?" (true number btw)
anybody with half a brain can see THIS potential.

ATTENTION MONERO CHADS:
Monero GUI 0.17.1.8 'Oxygen Orion' UPDATE RELEASED
https://www.getmonero.org/2020/12/30/monero-GUI-0.17.1.8-released.html


Overview
This is the CLI & GUI v0.17.1.7 'Oxygen Orion' point release. This release predominantly features bug fixes and performance improvements. Users, however, are recommended to upgrade, as it includes further mitigations for the issue, caused by the recently observed misbehaving (malicious) nodes, where the daemon (monerod) reports that the sync has 1-2 blocks left (whilst actually being fully synced). Additionally, a patch for the monerod OOM (out of memory) issue is included.

>what's crazy is an amd threadripper 3990x can do double that lol...
well considering that these are mostly computers from work, and the power is free, it's not bad.
that being said I kick around the idea of building a few cheap 3900x or 5900x systems for mining
also, I have another computer that isn't quite as fast as a 64core threadripper, but I'm not mining on it because it pulls about 550W at full tilt. It's my main workstation.

drugs and pedos exist and find ways of doing degenerate things regardless of Monero existing or not. you need to stop being a statist cuck. There is nothing wrong about exchanging value for something. Monero can't be banned as there is no legal precedent to ban it.

neck yourself moonboy.
we are up over 200% for the year. Our adoption is booming on the dark net. Monero is the consensus privacy coin.

But yeah our memes are definitely nothing compared to Link, though we have some great content posted in here. Hopefully the new userbase will bring more of that in the near future.
