/xmr/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.29762632]

"Don't let it fall off" edition
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 transactions being visible only by a Monero user willingly providing a view key for a specific transaction.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptos. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of txs increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX 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 MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

Running a node is like seeding a torrent. It’s actually safer (from the perspective of information leaks) because you are broadcasting your transaction yourself instead of relying an a remote node. By running a node, you support the network as well because you relay transactions to other nodes who are connected.
Mining is only about dedicating hash power. Joining a pool is pretty simple. Feel free to ask more specific questions if you change your mind!

Like with torrents, if you are connecting to the monero network somebody can see your IP address. But that’s about it. You can use a vpn to get around this, or you can use tor/i2p.
Regarding the pool, I believe the person operating the pool would see your IP address if you aren’t shielding that (like with a vpn) but that’s it.

But if you're connecting to a remote node through something like vpn/vps/tor wouldn't that ip be all that the remote node can see? While I was almost done syncing a full node a while ago and I read somewhere about how few nodes there and that made me paranoid about being one of the few people in the world running one. Idk if that's just because a lot of the nodes are connecting through vpn or tor and the number is actually a lot higher though.

[Anonymous No.29771565]

I geus there is a need for more nodes
With cli you can set the number of max peers / up your limit bandwith was playing around with it, you can do this also on boot
If you type sync_info you can see to what nodes you are connected to and at what block high the are, there are a lot new nodes at 1-100

If XMR becomes the standard currency of illicit trade while also being impossible to trace, its value is basically uncapped. That's a multi trillion dollar market, and XMR only needs a market cap of $180 million to go $10k/coin.

Honestly just depends on how you define "making it" but I see a lot of people on this board use $2MM as that number. Personally though it seems like you have to be financially illiterate to need that much, of course there's inflation though. So the real question really is how much will a dollar today be worth by the time xmr hits your target. But a lot of rich people are frugal, the mindset that you have to buy expensive shit all the time is a poor person's mindset.

Depends on what your needs are. Assuming Monero hits its oft-cited $40K projection by decade's end, your potential stack would be worth:

10 XMR = $400K

25 XMR = $1 million

50 XMR = $2 million

75 XMR = $3 million

100 XMR = $4 million

>all the stealth addresses that are recorded on the blockchain can be flagged doesn't matter if they can tell who owns what and again and again through transactions.

They cannot since the addresses are one time use and cannot be connected between a reception of currency to an eventual send. The only way to compromise yourself is to give the same address (the ones that appear in your wallet that is) repeatedly to the same people who then collaborate with each other. Which is solved by churning and generating subadresses for different parties.

if you're referring to public perception, it hardly matters, BTC was seen as (and still is to some extent by those with no knowledge) an internet money to buy drugs with, yet it's still worth nearly 50k
XMR has a usecase for illegitimate activities that it will fill regardless of regulation, making it valuable so long as that exists
should the fed decide to regulate it, it will only go up in value since the legitimate sources for it would be quashed while it's illegitimate uses will continue to exist, creating a demand for it while making it harder to acquire
prohibiting it would only prove it's legitimacy as a private way to transact funds, further improving it's value

>But if a user does this twice, sure it might be deep down in the transaction trees, but there are several trees that they can collect information from.
>The test becomes stronger again. In summary, and this can be applied to any sort of application of these statistical tests, the more points of information that the user has, the more trees that Eve, the exchange or any sort of observer is able to construct, and the further up the tree that the outputs are, the better the statistical test.

Your IP address will appear to Kucoin when you access their website. So if you don't want Kucoin knowing you are connecting, be advised.
Your IP address will appear to a remote node if you connect to one. So if you don't trust a remote node, then host your own node.
Your IP address does not give away any metadata about your transaction. No transaction amounts or destinations of your transaction are known to either the miners or the node operators. Your IP address will never be able to show how much Monero you have.
>or is my wallet basically self confined to my PC? if thats the case what happens if PC bricks itself?
well your wallet is unlocked by your seed (which is mnemonic device that translates into the actual private key). The actual wallet you use doesn't really matter, but the seed matters. If you lose your seed then you lose access to your Monero.
>>29785181
Monero's codebase is different than Bitcoins.
Wallet addresses don't appear in the block chain. Instead, they are mixed into gibberish and the only key that will unlock them (and grant you access to the Monero) is your private key from which the wallet addresses are derived from.

I sent an email early yesterday reopening the ticket again, with pictures clarifying the situation and photos of my bank account transactions showing the two. They still haven't got back to me.

my theory was that you apply the tint to a stealth address (this is more difficult than i first thought but not impossible) and then you simply follow these outputs with utter prejudice compiling your blacklist. but you also publish this blacklist so that nodes can avoid partaking of the tainted set of stealth address outputs.

I think I get what you're getting at now. You mean tracking the blockchain outputs. The difficulty is this would spread so fast you would blacklist the whole network.

It propagates exponentially through time. There are attacks but the are probabilistic and requires compromising several parties to track a single person. You have identified a weakness though, the use of centralized exchanges, but the community is working on that too. Check out bisq and local monero. Not perfect, but nothing is. The goal is to become uneconomical to target, which monero largely delivers on, and certainly more than any other extant technology.

i assume the atomic swap would have to be initiated from monero's side at all times. thinking about it the bitcoin side is very simple. you just need compatible common hash algo that can be used in bitcoin script. that's not the hard part tho.

I'm mining it on a 3950X, getting around ~17.5KH/s using 28 threads (this way I keep 4 threads for the rest of the system and I can use my computer).
Is XMRig + XMRFast the way to go? Any tips?

XMRig is definitely the way to go, not tried XMRFast but it seems similar to moneroocean, right down to the UI, not seen any indicators that it's not legit though

Xmrfast appears to be a smaller pool right? I usually tell people to avoid the larger pools so that hash rates aren’t centralized as much. What temperature is your CPU running at ? I can actually use all threads on my CPU and still browse fine, but I usually just turn it off when I’m using my computer.

>Xmrfast appears to be a smaller pool right?
I think so. Haven't tested any others.
>What temperature is your CPU running at ?
Between 70 and 75 C. It's cooled by a 360mm AIO with Noctua fans, I guess it got hotter because there are 2 GPUs mining ETH on the same workstation.
>I can actually use all threads on my CPU and still browse fine
Oh that's pretty cool. Using 32 threads made it unusable for anything here, although it gets me near 20KH/s. I've gone above it with static overclocking but I wonder if it's worth it with the >50% power usage increase.
Using 28 threads instead of 32 allows me to keep working to a certain degree, as my current project doesn't scale with threads.
What's your CPU/temps/hashrate?

My experience with their customer service was awful as well. There is no phone number you can call to speak to a real person. Your only option is to email them and wait for someone in the Philippines to answer 2-3 days later. I’m GLAD I fucked up the wire transfer because my money just bounced back into my account. I was able to open up an account with coinbase and buy in less than 24 hours. They use ACH unlike Kraken so it’s much cleaner. I buy LTC and swap to XMR in cakewallet’s exchange. The downside of Coinbase is that you have to wait something like 5 days to move coins off the exchange.

Pretty cool, maybe you can mine ETH on your GPU and swap for XMR later on.
I recommend a -0,075 undervolt for mining, will give slightly better results with lower power usage.
The absolute best you can do to increase your hashrate (assuming power usage isn't a concern) is per-CCX overclock.
I wonder how well the 5900X and the 5950X perform. They're even more efficient.

I've been crunching numbers this week trying to figure out the most efficient RandomX mining and right now I'm leaning toward arrays of dell office PC refurbs because the hash/watt seems better and its an opportunity to recycle tech trash.
