/XMR/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.49211258]

Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, 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 ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, 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 user willingly providing a view key.

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 transactions 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 June 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.

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 shutdown/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. When P2Pool reaches 51% of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.


YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL DIRECTLY FROM THE MONERO GUI WALLET!

If you have a PC or laptop:

1. Download Monero GUI
https://i.imgur.com/ZGefPef.png

2. Pick 'Advanced' mode
https://i.imgur.com/4c0uSE4.png

3. Set up your wallet
https://i.imgur.com/4lMKh00.png

4. Keep the default Daemon settings "Start a node automatically in the background"
https://i.imgur.com/maACmmT.png

5. Once sync'd, go to Advanced->Mining and pick 'P2Pool'. If you have a laptop or low-end PC (~50 kH/s) pick "Mini" pool, else pick "Main"
https://i.imgur.com/E60JeMG.png

P2Pool-compatible remote nodes if you do not have your own local copy of the blockchain:

>p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com - (Western Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)
>myxmr.net - (Northern Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)

OTHERWISE SWITCH TO A SMALLER POOL, IT TAKES YOU 30 SECONDS AND YOU CAN JUST SOURCE A DIFFERENT CONFIG FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK UP YOUR EXISTING ONE.

Many inexperienced miners think that big pools give better profits which is not the case. Your profits in the long run depend only on your hashrate, not on the pool's hashrate.

>The irrational exuberance of cryptocurrency investors

Irrational exuberance is characterized as a hype-fueled mania that causes investors to massively overestimate an asset's real-world value. In this delusional state, investors tend to become so smitten with expectations of greater profits that they disregard the assets’ potentially weak fundamentals and drink the proverbial Kool-Aid.

This then leads to them recklessly and repeatedly buying into whatever asset is currently rising in the charts, thereby triggering and/or sustaining an asset bubble. This bubble is kept inflated solely by the mass delusion that the market price is justified and will only keep going up in future, effectively becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Note that bubbles can last for years, especially in an age of easy investor on-boarding. However, when history inevitably repeats and the bubble bursts that optimism invariably turns into panic as the asset crashes back down to its real-world value.

In finance, the "greater fool theory" suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets—items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value—if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.

This effect is often further exacerbated by herd mentality, whereby people hear stories of others who bought in early and made big profits, causing those who did not buy to feel a fear of missing out.

Are Monero devs well fed?

I always considered Blender as a great example of how successful a FOSS project can be, same with the Linux kernel.
However, one cannot be cynical and ignore the weight that the involvement of hundreds of individuals/companies donating money to these projects has in this.
Very few foss projects are in this situation, most FOSS devs are poor af and do it out of pure love for their projects, but this has been shown to not be sustainable in the long run in many instances, see what happened with Log4j Log4Shell vuln... The project was being mantained by just 3 unpaid devs IIRC.
Blender developers are well paid, have full time jobs fixing/improving it, and this has been wonderful for the project.
https://fund.blender.org/ has a good showcase of all the financial backers they have.

In the end, I just wonder if the Monero devs are well backed so they can focus on improving the project sustainably.

If this is not just some amateur-ish one time thing that you want to print and sell at some local convention or something, then my recommendation is to simply to commission new art for your endeavour, explaining your intent to reprint/resell the art so the artist can charge you.
If you reprint and resell Monero-chan posters that have been commissioned and posted here, there's a chance the artist find about it and cause you trouble. I don't know if they would be in the right but it's not a headache that I'd be willing to pay for. Easier to just commission new art.

An important factor to consider is that of the dozen or so currencies you mentioned in your post, there are actually only 2 or 3 true implementations.
The reality is that we can summarize the major cryptocurrencies into three protocols: Bitcoin, Ethereum and CryptoNote.
Almost all of the coins you mentioned are either forks of Bitcoin with minor modifications, or are Ethereum tokens. It is extremely easy for a company to accept Shiba Inu if they already accept Ether, or USDT. In the same way, the work required to implement a Bitcoin fork is nil for these companies.
Cryptonote is a more complex protocol to work with, and there is much less infrastructure built around Monero so that companies can re-use code and support the currency more easily. What is needed for Monero right now, regarding to merchant adoption, are ridiculously simple, plug and play solutions so that the most diverse types of companies and businesses can accept Monero with ease considering key management, multisig (prerequisite for many business models), key synchronization / blockchain state sync between different devices, among other things that other protocols have already solved or don't have an issue with due to their transparency.

In a monero transaction, the sender's identity is private (obfuscated by the ring signature). But if you're in some kind of situation where a sender is voluntarily giving up that information, they can generate a transaction key that you can authenticate in your wallet. It's explained in the Mastering Monero book, go to section 2.3.3:

>I like everything about monero however it has no max supply that’s the only issue I’m worried about or if the team is printing more it’s unknown.
Monero inflates very slowly. Right now, there's more bitcoin in circulation and the supply of monero isn't going to surpass it until 2045 I believe. Also, the supply is auditable, so if there was some fuckery with the supply count, we would find out quickly.

[Anonymous No.49217479]

>>49217270
>it has no max supply
There is a lot of thought and intentional design that has gone into the supply dynamics of Monero. Monero implements a “defined supply” of 18.4m coins, and has a tail emission of 0.6XMR per block after the defined supply has been mined. That tail emission starts June, 2022.
This means that Monero has extremely low inflation that approaches 0% forever, and is technically “disinflationary” or “asymptotatically approaching 0% inflation”. The inflation rate is currently lower than Bitcoin and gold, and will continue to decrease. It’s also important to realize that a low inflation rate like that of Monero is a way to replace lost coins over time in circulation, but is likely even too little inflation to account for lost coins (rough estimates are ~1.5% of coins lost in circulation each year, compared to Monero’s current inflation rate of 1.12% as of writing). This would mean that Monero is in fact deflationary, even with the low perpetual issuance.
It’s also extremely important to make it clear that Monero’s supply is pre-defined, verified and enforced via consensus, and entirely predictable, just like Bitcoin’s – you can know the inflation rate and totaly supply at any point in the future without doubts.
This tail emission enables two key features in Monero
A lower bound of network security forever (miners will always be able to rely on 0.6XMR per block, no matter the fee market)
A dynamic block size (Monero’s blocks can grow/shrink to adapt to short-term increases in usage, with a penalty to mining rewards during these times).

For more on both of these, see the resources below.

>I’m worried about or if the team is printing more it’s unknown.
This is probably the most common point of FUD brought against Monero, and is caused by the complexity and nuance involved in understanding how supply audits work in cryptocurrencies.
Monero’s supply can be easily audited by anyone running a Monero node, but this process does rely on the soundness of the monerod software implementation and the validity of cryptography used in range-proofs. These range-proofs allow it to be mathematically proven that the inputs and outputs of each transaction add up to zero without revealing amounts, ensuring that the supply is sound and not inflated in any way. Every node on the network is validating these range-proofs in each transaction every time a transaction is first seen, and validating all historical range-proofs when initially syncing.
A manual audit is possible because coinbase transactions (those transactions that are mining rewards in each block including issuance + transaction fees) are intentionally transparent and amounts of these outputs are not obfuscated in any way. Monero users running a node can simply validate these totals on-demand, and all node owners are constantly verifying the amounts in transactions via range-proofs.
Unlike Bitcoin, however, Monero users cannot simply do “napkin math” and validate the supply by manually adding up UTXO amounts, as transactions are never known-spent by the network, only by the parties involved in each specific transaction. This does force some added reliance on code/cryptography over Bitcoin, but as-of-yet I know of no one validating the Bitcoin supply this way. It does remain a valuable advantage of a transparent cryptocurrency, though it comes at the cost of the transactional privacy of every user in the system.

It's possible to determine what address received a transaction. I don't think the GUI offers this capability, but Feather wallet does. It's called Coin Control. If you click on the Coins tab (may need to enable it first) you can see your unspent outputs and the address associated with it.

The tech is still pretty early so it's not recommended to send large amounts. Also, if you have KYC'd Bitcoin it won't make a big difference privacy-wise if you just send it off to Bisq or Tradeogre and exchange it for Monero the normal way.

Welcome to the party my friend.

[Anonymous No.49226013]

Looking for a MoneroChad to explain some stuff to me please:

So I think I understand the pederson commitment math on the curve to hide amounts, but I'm struggling to understand how ring signatures obfuscate your transaction even further.

If only one set of the inputs in a ring can be proven to equal the outputs, don't you know exactly which inputs were used? I'm assuming I'm just missing some more math and I don't want to read an entire book today and hope to figure it out (I'm not good at math). My apologies if this is a stupid question.

One more thing:
With the pederson commitment:
c=r*G+a*H

Where a is the actual amount, r is a random number that you generate, G and H are known points on the curve. If someone ever finds a single combination of 'a's and 'r's that result in the same 'c', can they now just print monero by using the smaller 'a' as an input but the larger amount as an output? I understand that's very computationally unlikely to be found, but if only one is ever found the whole chain is fucked, right?

I'm sure some bitcoin maximalists don't want to use monero because they fear falling in love with it.
Monero has its trade-offs, and I can even understand some of the reasoning behind the idea of not holding monero, only using it to transact etc, but to deny that the tool is useful, fast and greatly protects your privacy by default is to deny objective reality, and that's why I don't give any attention to bitcoin maxis.

No, because you need a view key to prove that. Without the key, there's no way of proving or disproving the validity of the transaction.

>>49226147
The one promised use case of crypto was peer-to-peer PayPal. This is literally the only currency in the world that does that. I'm not joking. Most of our transaction volume is people buying guns and drugs and making illegal wire transfers. Not a single other non-fiat digital currency can make this claim.

Go buy something with Monero right now, if you don't believe us. It's literally as easy as using PayPal. The wallet software is very easy to use and you can literally go spend your Monero in seconds on virtually any illegal product you want. Or play it safe and buy an Amazon gift card from CoinCards.com. Either way, it will literally be as easy as using PayPal. Not a single other crypto does this. Not even Bitcoin.

And, let's be honest, there's not really another actual use case for digital CURRENCIES aside from, you know, paying for things.

Not to mention that deflationary currencies incite people to never spend since you'd want to wait as long as possible for your currency to be worth as much as possible before using it. A currency that has constant, but moderate inflation, which is designed into the system and can't just go wild at a moment's notice because the kikes in power decided to put the money printer into overdrive is a good thing.

What happens to BTC when people stop mining it for profit? Maybe some whales will mine at their own expense, but I think we're just going to see a move to Layer 2, AKA fractional reserve banking 2.0. If you can't work with the blockchain directly, you can't guarantee that your crypto is really whatever share of the total supply it's supposed to be. You could be being sold non-existent BTC on the basis that you would never try to withdraw it. Wouldn't this be inflation by proxy?

I agree with you, Monero must be promoted in order to achieve a massive world adoption. But you can promote it without being religious about it (like Bitcoiners), because it is a tool, a tool which the principles that made it happen are what matters. Without its principles, there would be no Monero as we know it. This is a pattern repeated in nature.

>There is a lot at stake here for the common man, and I think the time has come to push for Monero acceptance.
I agree aswell, but not through a tattoo, that's just idiotic. The best method to spread the word will always be "mouth to mouth" (which is the best OPSEC). Social media helps and amplifies the message, but a physical conversation will lead to greater success. All of this still stems from one thing: planting seeds of awareness. Without seeds you cannot make a solid, strong & healthy tree.

I agree with this, though not so much the sentiment of factional reserve as such. That is, it will LITERALLY be reactional reserves (another more plentiful coin backed by a reserve coin), but fractional LENDING has been the problem.

But Miners are going to be looking INTENTLY to find ways to secure their investment (asics). If BTC along won't support that, then they will need to be the ones behind these reserve banks and networks that people use for this that or the other thing. Else they're sitting there mining to secure an asset. At what point do they sell BTC? and what point do they sell asics?

I don't see transactions paying for miners. Layer 2s are going to eat transactions. Getting into Layer 2s to recover the transactions is sunk cost. You're getting more transactions, but you're not getting any/many more fees, all the while expanding infrastructure. Either BTC increases in value faster than energy (which attracts and demands more miners to secure the network), or BTC finally sees a DRAMATIC shift in security that is FAR less energy intensive to secure a deflationary asset that can REALISTICALLY deflate slower than the cost to secure it.

I would avoid directly paying for something in monero while giving your name and address (for example, if you bought computer parts off of Newegg using cryptocurrency). However, I think most people would fly under the radar by purchasing gift cards (prepaid visas and mastercards work most of the time) and using those instead. Probably a good idea to spread your purchases out among multiple retailers (i.e. don't spend 300 gift cards on Amazon in one year).

If you didn't open the necessary ports on your router and if you didn't started the daemon with the necessary parameters to make your node a public node, no one is sending txs through your node.
Connections in and out merely representing the peers downloading / syncing the blockchain from your node. Nothing to do with sending txs through it.

>sovereign citizen
This is a meaningless catch-all term like 'white nationalist.'
As for the idea that there's 2 sets of laws for 2 sets of citizens: this isn't new at all. depending on who you ask it's a meme, or the actual way out of the rat race. Some read pic related, or find Russell Jay-Gould, or find some other group and try to out-jew the legal system by identifying as (insert term here) citizens. The process is slightly different for each group but they all involve invalidating your birth certificate, your SSN, and never paying taxes again. The IRS explains away the people that manage to pull it off by saying that you don't have to pay income taxes if you truly believe that you don't owe them, which gives them plausible deniability about everything up to and including "we were properly ratified because....we just were ok?"
I honestly can't tell if it's a glownigger psyop, or a glownigger coverup. In either case it's well played.

A few days ago there was an AMA with a customer service from IRS on /pol/ and he said that people call them explaining that they won't pay taxes because they're sovereign citizens, or blacks saying that they are owed reparations and won't pay, and he said he just transfer these cases to Collections and that's now their problem.
He also said that if you don't pay your taxes for 10 years you officially "fall off the grid" and they don't bother anymore. He said many people got fucked because they went to claim the stimmy checks which made they appear in the grid for the first time after decades and are sent to Collections. So yeah I think you can get away with it in a few scenarios.

A lot of the people in the LP promote crypto but because they've been ran by dweeby, woke leftists it makes it look bad. Having actually good people in charge (also promoting crypto and free market money) who don't act like pussies is much better PR.

It's more of a macro issue and not directly tied to Monero, but it is good nonetheless.

I've often wondered what would happen if monero hit buttcorn market cap numbers but moreover became a medium of exchange that operated completely independent of fiat (ie, no need to off-ramp). What extent would they go to to sabotage the network? Right now the system is reliant on good intentioned cyberpunks to keep everything running smoothly but I can imagine a future where even they could be subverted by motivated parties, especially when the stakes are much higher and when (((livelihoods))) are directly threatened.

I'm not saying it would happen I'm just saying that if monero became everything that we wanted it to be there would 100% be solid attempts at subversion even assassinations.

Do you agree?

Hello XMR-chads. Maybe you guys can help me out with this.

I have a XMR-wallet (XMR-GUI) I dont use, and last week my HDD wiped. I recovered most of it, but I am struggling to find seed or GUI-file. And it turns out I need that account for...reasons.

I recovered with testdisk, and use software to search for keywords. But the seed is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I am thinking the wallet-file is easier. Any advice?

If monero reaches that level, you can bet there will be more forces working against it. The main point of failure would be the development team, so it's good that quite a few are still anonymous. Checking over the code then becomes even more important.

In fact it can still affect them negatively and they still won't care until it gets quite bad. In fact they'll probably think it's helping them during the early stages of negatives. Then it's "not that bad". Eventually they "rise up" when the news tells them to be angry.

A fresh start of the GUI (or just logging out to the screen with the little flag globe) should provide the option to restore a full wallet directly from a private spend key, which will re-generate your wallet file.

If you try all of the and they don't work, I would recommend trying to recover your .keys file itself, which you can then get your new GUI software started with using "./monero-wallet-cli --wallet-file [old-file-name].keys"
