/XMR/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.30419578]

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.

- class-leading privacy coin

- real world adoption

- loyal community

- long history

- capable dev teams

- very decentralized

- no company/foundation

- might replace BTC for most use cases

- potential to become the class-leading currency coin

- Atomic swaps enable XMR to tap into other coin universes with minimal metadata leaks and very low friction

- new buyers and speculators not fully aware of flaws in BTC and DeFi-stuff in the future might migrate to XMR

- price action not fully exploited this cycle

- organic price action

- upside from informal sector onboarding is hundreds of thousands of %

- upside potential from more exchange listings

- wrapped versions enable DeFi usage, not yet fully exploited

- little known institutional involvement creates upside potential

- Grayscale Monero Trust will enable easy access for many investors

- most battle-proven privacy coin

- trusted and used by black hats

- honorable use cases improve the reputation

- low inflation and currently no gaming of the supply with locking incentives etc.

- upside potential from supply decreasing features

- privacy is working

- separation from other ecosystems keeps XMR running if they go downhill

- coin economics provide stability in the long term

- high demand for privacy once governments try to enforce regulation and taxes

- demonstrated ability to fend off attacks

- demonstrated ability to keep network up-to-date with latest privacy features

say if a coin comes out with a privacy feature that's objectively superior than what monero uses. can the monero development team just steal ideas from other coins and add it to their own? if monero team decides their the current levels of privacy they tolerate aren't enough, can they copy a feature from zcash, or is everything strictly copyrighted?

Absolutely, Monero undergoes regular hardforks and is constantly being upgraded. All new developments are audited, tested and eventually incorporated into the codebase.

[Anonymous No.30421532]

>>30421100
>What do you mean allocations, how much money to each?
Yes, exactly. I have X amount of USD fiat and I am looking to allocate a percentage of that into cryptocurrencies using DCA over a 3 month period. I am assuming that BTC and other trackable currencies will be tracked and confiscated by the US government at some point, so I am looking at things that are either used for darknet transactions OR are privacy-oriented early stage nerd projects that have the potential to eclipse/complement XMR.

>>30421101

I'm not really sure. I would say you should make the Monero the bulk of it, any other privacy-oriented coins I do nut trust as much as Monero for actual transactions.
Even though its just a governance token, TORN is really interesting to me cause its basically a mixer on chain that you can invest in, not really sure how to guide you with the allocation.

>BTC is a safe bet

Ehh....I wouldn't go that far. The concensus with non-maxipad experts is that Bitcoin is currently a speculative bubble that could continue inflating for quite a while yet but WILL eventually pop at some point.

>Bitcoin, along with other cryptocurrencies, has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureates at various times, including Robert Shiller on 1 March 2014,[168] Joseph Stiglitz on 29 November 2017,[231] and Richard Thaler on 21 December 2017.[232][233]

>On 29 January 2018, a noted Keynesian economist Paul Krugman has described bitcoin as "a bubble wrapped in techno-mysticism inside a cocoon of libertarian ideology",[159] on 2 February 2018, professor Nouriel Roubini of New York University has called bitcoin the "mother of all bubbles",[234] and on 27 April 2018, a University of Chicago economist James Heckman has compared it to the 17th-century tulip mania.[233]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin#As_a_speculative_bubble

AND because BTC has diminishing utility as currency due to congestion and high fees it is actually more like to go to zero than Monero, which can at least count on consistent darknet/underworld demand if everything else goes to shit.

Those Boomer economists don't get it at all.

Cryptocurrency is a monetary network, like dollars or gold. The value of the network is its size. Currently BTC is $1T and growing. Gold is $10T. The difference between them is that when SHTF you can get on a plane with your BTC and nobody can take it from you. That's not true of gold, which governments will simply confiscate (they've done it before).

Yes XMR is better than BTC, but network effects matter. You think there aren't 1000 social networks that are better than Facebook? Yet Facebook persists because of network effects.

There are a bunch of other neat things monero does to keep you private. Zero knowledge proofs make it so nobody other than you and the receiver know the amount which is being sent. Also, when you send monero, your wallet automatically makes a stealth address, so the person receiving doesn't receive any information about you other than the fact that you sent them coins.

>BTC is a speculative bubble
Finance boomers not understanding the technology or fundamentals as per fucking usual. Bitcoin is not a speculative bubble. Dumb money believes that the things true of bitcoin hyped up in the Satoshi era haven't changed. If you have ever argued with a maximalist, they literally do not give a flying fuck about fundamentals. A bunch of retards foaming at the mouth are ready to buy the dip as they could've between '17 and '20. The sheer amount of stimmy checks ready to do this will keep the price above $40,000.
The simple truth is that China controls well over 51% of the global hash power with ASICs. A 51% attack could be executed at any time. Speculation and average maximalist IQ makes the fundamentals irrelevant. The price could go to 10 million dollars for years, and the entire thing will still come crashing down.

In case anyone missed this from yesterday, Keith Woods interviewing Douglas Tuman from Monero Talk. It seems like the dissident right is making a serious push for monero adoption, and if dissident right memes are anything to go by it's only a matter of time before normies become aware of the advantages of monero too. I've heard trs are going to start accepting donations in monero. My guess is that awareness of monero on 4chan will be saturated within 6 months and that it's definitely already accelerating.

Also, some alt-light ecelebs (nick fuentes, ralph retort and some others) are being investigated by the fbi because they received a large donation in bitcoin from some French guy in December while they were organising the Stop The Steal stuff. Everyone who received money from that "anonymous" donor was tracked down and their names and how much they received was published by mainstream media. It's a good recent example of why private coins will be the future.

I'm sure you've seen that book 'dying of money' that's been being shared around here. You should read it. The important takeaway in this case is that Weimar Germany halted their devastating hyperinflation and stabilized their economy by printing what was called the Rentenmark. It wasn't backed by gold, and the full faith and credit of the German government wasn't worth anything. All it was backed by was the word of Hjalmar Schact that they were printing a fixed amount and no more, and he meant it, and it worked, eventually being pegged to the old mark at 1 to 1 trillion. The scarcity of Bitcoin is itself worth a healthy value.

Even if the drug war ended tomorrow, having every transaction public is stupid and enough reason for XMR to become widely adopted. There's no need to have my $20 dinner clearly linked to my entire stash through some chainalysis that will eventually be widely available. I hear the excuse BTC maxis make which is that they want government adoption before they implement privacy and while I think it might be a good move, I don't think they will be able to make privacy default on BTC and it will ultimately fail in that respect (like ZEC) making XMR necessary. XMR is probably going to be one of 5-10 base layers that win in the end.

based. Monero isn't just for criminals. Even normies who are fine with giving up privacy to ad algorithms won't want every entity they transact with to know exactly how much they have. I've seen people who've paid for a service in BTC get asked for more because the vendor checked their address and saw they had "plenty of BTC to spare". Even normies won't put up with that in the long run, BTC is doomed.

Ah, XMR doesn't have gas fees, I've also found it to be faster than ETH.
Got transaction fees but they tend to be very minimal.
Also, ETH should be treated as a commodity, it's used to fuel transaction and applications hosted on the ethereum network, XMR is a currency, it's used to privately pay for things.
It's also been fairly stable in the recent dip which from what I've seen is fairly consisten.

Or would my KYC BTC be linked to the XMR purchase? Would my visit to the UK be documented along the chain of custody, or would I be better off staying in the US, sending BTC to my friend in the UK, having him swap for XMR on Binance, then have him send it to me?

BTC fees are like 10-60 sat/vB at the moment, the last time I moved btc I paid $3 using 54 sat/vB and the time before that I used 7 sat/vB and paid about 60 cents...usdc fees are probably higher and ltc fees are probably not much cheaper. Why are you penny pinching on fees anyway unless you're buying 0.0005 xmr at a time or something...

Can a MoneroChad give the rundown on running a public XMR node from a home network? What are the main benefits (I'm guessing these are, strengthening the network, providing a safe node for yourself and others to depend on), but I'm mostly concerned about the risks. So, I open a port on my router, and run a node with mostly default settings. Will this get me V&? Hacked?

[Anonymous No.30443779]

>>30443716
Nah you'll be fine. Monero itself is completely legal to hold and operate nodes for. Even Tor bridge nodes are fine to run at home, although running an exit node is a bit unwise because you're legally on the hook for whatever exits Tor there.

Why? There's nothing wrong or illegal holding XMR or any other privacy coins.
It also doesn't mean that if you hold XMR you might be a drug dealer, a CP lover or other shits.
It's up to you the use that you do with your XMR. Think about cash, cash is private too, people don't judge and can't know if you use $100 to buy a gram of cocaine or to buy groceries for your family.

Hey monero chads... with the recent NFT craze I'm feeling bullish about monero. I think the primary use case for NFTs is going to be money laundering
For example: I buy your NFT with BTC for $10. You send me back $8 in monero along with the NFT. As far as anyone knows only one transaction has taken place.
My question is: How viable is this as a money laundering scheme? Do you see any overlap between monero and NFTs? Are you also bullish or am I a schizo?

Heres a hypothetical. Moneros transaction history will continue to be private however in theory groups of entities could log your address while sharing it with others. Example: You buy something off Amazon with monero, you then use the same address to buy something on ebay. Amazon and ebay then form a joint business agreement to share addresses that they have collected and the information that is attached to them (so any billing info + purchase history).

>"There is nothing sensitive, from a security perspective, about the bitcoin address. It can be posted anywhere without risking the security of the account. Unlike email addresses, you can create new addresses as often as you like, all of which will direct funds to your wallet. In fact, many modern wallets automatically create a new address for every transaction to maximize privacy. A wallet is simply a collection of addresses and keys that unlock the funds within."

And that's just bitcoin too. But it seems silly to use XMR on Amazon.

You said it yourself that nothing is 100% anonymous. For example with gift cards, you're probably on camera and the cashier would probably give the jackbooted thugs every detail they want if they got interrogated. Also if you carry a cell phone, it's tracking you even when powered off as long as the battery is connected so it might trace back to your home. And then of course there your hardware, firmware, and/or software might be compromised with backdoors and exploits.
