/XMR/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.49981531]

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.

>START MINING IN P2POOL
STOP MINING IN MINEXMR
>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 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.

>No tail emission = Bitcoin is fucked

Right now, at the current hashrate, miners break even on energy expenses at a BTC price of $22K. Post 2024 halving, that break even point, at the current hashrate, goes up to $44K. If BTC does not go to $44K, miners will be unprofitable and hashrate will have to drop (miners going out of business) to reduce the cost of securing the network, also reducing the security.

If you know anything about the power of 2, you already know that things get very big, very fast. If we’re 3 halvings into 32 total halvings, then the estimated break even point for miners at current hashrate going into the last halving would be:

$22,000 * (2^27) = $2,952,790,016,000 per BTC

$2,952,790,016,000 per BTC * 21 Million total Bitcoin = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings Bitcoin would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per Bitcoin and a $62 quintillion market cap to sustain the current cost of $7.15 billion/year.

Even if these numbers were somehow realistic, can you imagine securing a $62 quintillion market cap on only $7.15 billion/year of hashrate? LOL.

And that’s assuming energy costs do not increase at all over the next 120 years, which they will.

So basically BTC mining will eventually become so unprofitable the hashrate (network security) will shrivel up UNLESS it is subsidized by BTC transaction fees.

The ROI is bad.
block is mined every 2 minutes, 30 every hour. 720 a day.
at .6 XMR per block, 432 XMR minted daily, now fixed forever.
Global hashrate is at 2.74GH/s right now.
A single ryzen 5950x mines at 18KH/s.
So the global hashrate = 150,000 units of ryzen 5950x.
Add your single ryzen 5950x:
you would capture 1/150,001 * 432 XMR = .0029 XMR daily, which is currently like .38 USD/day?
Adding power costs to that, a non-virgin setup of a 5950x has 100w tdp as a low estimate using about 2.4kw/day.
cheapest in America in roughly .10 usd / kw, so .24 usd costs in electricity a day, about 7.50 usd a month, optimistically eats about 2/3 your profits. Will be worse once you factor in power cost of other components, cost of cooling etc.

The better reason mine is to protect the network. Assuming you could build a decent 5950x rig in bulk for about 1,000$ a unit, a 50% attack on the network would currently only cost 75 million in hardware (seems low considering 2.4 billion market cap). An attacker adding a large number of miners to the network would tank the reward rate and force for profit miners out, making this even easier. If every single retard mined .0001 monero/day on their shitbox, this would be significantly more expensive. You can help spit in the lake for monthly electricity cost of a Netflix subscription.

If you want to get as much xmr as possible you should buy in ~2015. Realistically, you should dca 1/18th of whatever amount you have in mind into xmr every month, starting now. By having a sound preset plan you will save yourself a lot of mental anguish. Alongside this, make sure to never look at the price until 18 months from now. It will not go to 0 because xmr is actually useful tech (as opposed to most crypto), the rest is irrelevant.

Yeah, last time bitcoin fees rose to like $40 or something everyone went "wtffff!!!!!!!" and jumped off to transact on eth, ltc, etc., and nowadays there's a huge push to move transactions off-chain with L2 and whatnot. Fees rapidly dropped back to sub-$10 levels because everyone rushed to move out of BTC and then stopped transacting as soon as they were able to.

And you'd need like $100/tx or more to secure the network currently.

Building a miner "for future profit" is like some kind of bootleg DCA where you put down all the cost upfront but then only actually enter into the market at a drip-feed. Plus you have to spend effort on maintenance, and this is assuming 100% free electricity.

Look anons, the main priority to mine Monero isn't the perspective on huge profits. The devs barred ASIC miners for a reason and wanted to decentralize mining for average joe as much as possible, with the advantage of a pool mining when they implemented P2Pool.
I use it, despite knowing that i have a shitty hashrate myself and that i will most likely never get a single monero in return. even if i let my computer mine for years. But i support the network and try to use monero to buy goods and services as well as i use it to sell my stuff to people.

We all know how Bitcoin ended up as.
It went from a movement that wanted freedom and independency from the banking cartel to a speculation rapefest with exptremely high volatility, leaving no chance for merchants to provide goods for a stable price in BTC.
In- or de-flation keeps people from trading/buying goods with a currency.

If the trends in buying/selling BTC's and ETH's wouldn't affect other cryptos that much, Monero would be a much more stable coin as it is right now.
For me, priority lies more on making profit with the stuff i sell rather than profiting from ups and downs of the crypto i sell my stuff for. And it always worked well for me but could work much better, if the volatility would not be this extreme.

I cannot expect my grandma and other non-tech savvy people to use private transactions if they are not the default. This is clearly true, and less than 1% of all zcash transactions are completely private. So yeah, optional privacy is basically as good as no privacy.

>Do I need to actually install p2pool or something? I thought it came with the monero gui.
Well, both yes and no.

The dropdown menu should let you chose P2Pool. And the first time you push the "Mining" button you will be asked to download an additional plugin that installs itself.
You have to confirm this with "OK" button
Then it should be up and running.

For me, it took just some seconds to install and activate. And i was ready to mine on P2Pool.

My gf is a pretty med t-girl dev and we're both constantly upping our XMR bags. We use XMR to buy quality black market estrogens for her. And I get to dress her up in Monerochan cosplay. In the end, the cucked Z-cash devs might be trannies, but even fucking trannies still actually use XMR to get their femboy juice cause it's actually useful for that purpose on specific DWMs.

Y'all can shit on trannies all you want, they're actually out there using XMR for what it's supposed to be used, buying quality HRT and passing. Meanwhile Z-trannies rely on shitty ass globohomo approved taxpayer funded HRT and look like fucking dudes.

I dont think crypto biz outside of XMR general can contemplate how bad the coming bear market is going to be. I am moving my btc off exchange and swap into xmr to hold on wallet for decade plus. My thesis is that old oldfags from pre 2017 run that moved on to xmr or sold were right. XRP? Defi? Study the charts and you see btc was dead in water for years after 2013 blow off top. The mt gox trading bots conspiracy? This is all fake money being moved around and no actual floor has been made in nearly 10 years for crypto. Market makers were able to get away with things up until we had literal dog coins moving billions of dollars in marketcaps in a few days. All these lending platforms are blowing up, stablecoins are unsafe for real, and you have link schizos pointing fingers all over the place. We haven't seen the actual effects of interest rate hiking and supply chain problems yet that will bring stock markets down more.

[Anonymous No.50005895]

>>50005592
>cont.
I think we will see a real meltdown this coming year and it will not return for years. The money in defi was just fake money like tether or other stablecoins being printed to manipulate "defi technology". Nothing of substance was built and why would they care? Its just mt gox exchanges with more liquidity to dump and manipulate charts. You could argue BTC deserved a fiat pricing when btc was used for exchange of goods but its not. BTC is just empty "collateral" for these manipulation games. Do kwon bought up a bunch of BTC with luna stablecoin fake money and BTC dumps when fake stablecoin money depegs. I don't know the nitty gritty but its just fake marketcap. "Stable"coins ruining crypto wasn't a meme my hypothesis should play out if I'm right here. My other theory is the "no regulations" thing. I really believe that feds want no regulations and clarity on crypto on purpose. Why would they want regulations? It would crash the defi fake money casino too fast. You come in with regulations after the dust settles and faith is gone in the unregulated market. Regulations when easy money is everywhere is unpopular. Regulations when people are broke are easy to pass.

Monero will always have a price because you NEED a price to buy some good with monero. Monero is not held by defi rich scammers that need it for collateral to make ends meet when their defi schemes implode. BTC is held hostage in this case and will experience worse price action in the heat of actual meltdown we will experience next year and the year after to come. Check XMR/BTC charts every time a lending platform goes under or a stablecoin depegs.

Thought with them being 0 fee, the theory that it is a miner upset by the migration to PoS seems plausible to me. https://nitter.hu/xenumonero/status/1541481687057633282 But why use z-to-z then?

You're close but not quite there imo. The entire fiat ponzi is unravelling anon. We are in the end stages of an empire and starting to see the fall of the dollar with China and Russia starting to challenge it's dominance. BTC and XMR are the only assets designed to survive times like this and the only out for westerners to protect their wealth (gold can and will be confiscated). Their value in dollar terms may collapse in the coming months/years as people (wrongly) sell for dollars thinking they are safe but they will burnt as the US government is forced to inflate its debts away and start asset seizures to fund its ability protect itself from outside influences (given the dollar will become worthless when trading between countries). BTC and XMR will become defacto reserve for the wealthy and those who plan ahead and they will capture trillions of dollars (in today's worth) in value. People selling now are playing a game of chicken with the US government as if they decide they cannot keep the money printer off any longer they will get completely fucked if they are left holding dollars.

It's worse than that. Wall Street hedge funds were using BTC as margin collateral, knowing that as long as those wacky chinks kept printing more Tether and nobody dumped their bags, the price would go up forever. Then they started eating shit on housing, on China, on meme stock shorts (particularly GME), on tech stocks, on retail, etc. so they all doomped eet. At least half of the BTC collapse was Wall Street exiting their positions. Next time nobody is going to trust BTC as an institutional hedge because the market cap is too low to offer proper liquidity for large movements and so it ends up correlating to the fiat stock markets anyway. You'd need a multi trillion dollar market cap to provide stable liquidity for those hedgies, and so that's more likely to be XRP than BTC - forex on a blockchain rather than true cryptocurrency. XMR won't get dragged into that mess at all because it'd effectively be a giant money laundering machine bolted on to the side of the NYSE and the feds know exactly what would happen next.

Where can you dig into this? No one considers where the mt gox 2013 bubble trading bots came from with all that money. Videos on that topic point at some random russian but its sketchy in itself. Bitcoin went from low hundreds to near 70k run when you consider tether starting in mid 2010s, then defi bubble in 2017 then defi getting bigger in late 2010s. I can see wall street being balls deep in stablecoin fake money printing though. Theres a never ending supply of do kwons with fintech bullshit on their resumes.

yes, indeed, let's create a system of "transparency" where specific actors are able to circumvent it through loopholes and technical means while the average person is fully surveilled and data modelled for optimum citizen score.

privacy is a right, state governance as a concept will meet it's end before surveilled money becomes common tender.

people will spend inherently differently when they become acutely aware of how their spending is tracked and impacting their life. bartering is about to have its biggest comeback in history, and while the average citizen is busy trading handjobs for menthol cigarettes, word of "Monero" will spread organically by word of mouth.

This may or may not be far too optimistic. There's zero secret about how facebook, google etc. operate, and yet normies do not give a single shit. Facebook literally only got some bad rep when the MSM decided to tell everyone to think "facebook bad" for a news cycle or two - which they did because some of its data was used, oh horror, to help blumpf's politics rather than their own. But then that news cycle ended and within a couple of months nobody cared anymore. And everything that's not facebook (so google, twitter, amazon, and yes paypal, visa...) nobody cared about even slightly because the MSM never bothered to tell them to think it's bad.

Chrome is a browser built by an advertising megacorporation which gets like 90% of its 250-billion dollar revenue directly from processing user data. 90% of revenue and something like 120% of the profits because all their other shit like google cloud is operating at a fucking loss.

Chrome has like 75-80% market share right now. Something like another 10% is safari from itoddlers that just use the default installed on their iphone/mac, another 5% is Edge/IE which is the same but for boomers on windows. This means that the VAST majority of normies who actually pick a new browser to install, make the conscious choice to install a literal adware browser. To give, to a company that makes hundreds of billions a year off of user data as its sole profit source, to give that company unfetterd access to every single aspect of their internet activity. That's the mindset of a normie.
When Chad wants to fuck Betty without Stacy knowing, he's not gonna pay in Monero, just as he's not gonna switch to running a private browser on a FOSS operating system. He's gonna switch his browser to private mode, then he's gonna use whatever payment method leds him tick a "don't show this transaction :)" option.

The problems you describe are just centralization vs decentralization. In centralized systems, companies trend towards being monopolies with monopolistic practices that destroy or gobble up the competition.

Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. Where's the alternatives to their products? All the centralized competitors got crushed. Where's the decentralized alternatives? There is none for the most part? There's nothing to really switch to that's good enough, or used enough.

Chrome? Yeah there's Brave browser, despite it being centralized and Chromium, it's an alternative that people can easily switch to. I used to be always using Microsoft Office, but now I use Libre Office, easy switch.

Now lets look at some decentralized things. Torrents? Oh no's, the centralized monopolies can't take down the Torrents because of piracy to their centralized distribution systems, ie. Steam, itune, Disney+, etc. They can't even get rid of all the pirate sites. Bitcoin?, it's been 10 years and they couldn't Gaddafi it...they got to manipulate and control it in other ways. War on drugs, oh no's couldn't win...got to legalize it.

IDK, what else is decentralized? 3d printers? Good luck banning those when fun stuff are being printed out more on those. I noticed a lot of electric bicycles and scooters being used now...good luck having the DMV requiring licensing/insurance/testing and such on them. You know they would if they could.

Anyways, my point is when there's a decentralized alternative, it's very hard for the centralized monopoly to take down. Having any alternative (competition) to switch to is a step in the right direction. When there's no real alternative, people are stuck...especially the normies.

If they allowed the monetary system collapsed in 2008 before there were any cryptos, instead of kicking the can down the road until now, they'd be laughing instead of trying so hard to regulate cryptos now since it's a threat to their new monetary system plans.

WHY can't we buy Monero via gift cards?
It's literally the best possible option for anonymously exchanging fiat to monero directly, and there is already an existing market for buying gift cards with monero.

Gift cards are just basically store credit (substitution for currency), a promise the bearer of the gift card is owed goods not currency. I guess somebody could make a card with a wallet seed written on it that contains X number of XMR on it, and sell it. But how is that any different than just selling XMR for fiat? The other problem is the value of XMR keeps changing, so the value of a XMR redemption card keeps changing. Normally with gift cards, the value of the goods aren't changing as much as XMR would...just very slowly being more expensive every year so the gift card holder is getting robbed by inflation when the store raises prices. With gift cards you're basically loaning the company money with negative interest rates (inflation).

That anon said "normies will see how their spending is tracked and rush to privacy!" My post was a counter-argument against that.

>Facebook
Is literally a data mining platform. It's not even that facebook tracks you, it's that it's a place for you to publicly declare everything you're doing. SUPER popular with normies.
Also the tracking is a thing, of course. uBlock Origin is trivial to install. I think something like ~10%-15% of people used adblocking last I checked. Meaning 80%+ of normies don't even bother blocking visible flashing ads that interrupt their browsing, pause their videos on youtube, etc. If they put up with that, how many do you think even spare a single thought to the invisible tracking scripts present in every page?

>Chrome
There's Brave. There's ungoogled-chromium, which granted can be more obscure to install, but if normies cared about privacy it could have been easily ported into a super convenient installer available everywhere. On mobile there's Bromite. These are all niche choices.

>Torrents
Netflix became of the biggest tech companies around. If it's in decline, it's not because of torrents, it's because streaming got so popular that two dozen competitors sprung up and now normies are getting annoyed at having to subscribe to six different streaming sites for the content they want.
>Bitcoin
Lmao literally nobody actually uses it. The adoption among normies for peer to peer payments is nil. I know because I shill it regularly when paying people (for commissions, small services, etc.) Now obviously if your goal is to find someone who will e.g. draw art for XMR, you can. But if your goal is to find some guy who you want to draw for you and then get him to accept any crypto whatsoever, you better be very convincing, or have the luck to stumble upon the very, very very rare person who's actually used it before.

I'm not saying decentralised alternatives are inherently failing. I'm saying mass adoption among normies isn't happening.

[Anonymous No.50023885]

>>50023298
I think the issue is probably fungibility. Especially in an asymmetric, the "seller" may be a market maker, maybe even some business venture, or at least an enthusiast who does the selling long-term, not because they need a good right now but because it's profitable; meanwhile the "buyer" is an individual who wants to obtain a specific good as quickly and conveniently as possible.

In this scenario, you can have gift card buyers, because people may want to actually shop in a shop and will buy the card for that shop. So to satisfy that, you have gift card sellers which operate for profit and provide the service of exchanging XMR for gift cards.
But in the other direction, if you want to buy XMR, you find an XMR seller, and then you pay him - and the seller will have no use for a gift card, unless they're integrated in a secondary gift card economy where they can then offload it. I'm guessing nobody has just found it worthwhile yet to go through the effort of setting up trading this way.

Hence you'd probably need a p2p marketplace where gift cards are an accepted form of payment. >>50023591 basically, YOU have to be the "gift card seller" and find buyers for that specific gift card, because otherwise you're not gonna find "XMR sellers" who will take your gift card.

Effective privacy solutions require some technical skills because they haven't been made accessible to non-technical normies yet.

This is not an indication that normies do not want privacy, This is an indication that the privacy tech available needs to be made more accessible to less technically inclined users.

People can only do what they know how to do and most normies look at learning about digital privacy like it's a 30-foot-tall hydra, get discouraged and then fuck back off to what's easiest for them to use.

[Anonymous No.50024311]

>>50023977
While there's a portion of the population who does care about privacy but is intimidated, I still think you guys are WAY overestimating the average normie.
Again, consider Facebook: it's literally a "let me post everything I'm fucking doing, in public" platform. There's no privacy-preserving alternative because the POINT of the platform is for you to publicize everything. It's one of the biggest websites and tech corporations around.
Consider adblocking. Even if ublock requires you to know about its existence, "adblock" is much more famous and much more people know what it is. You'd be astounded at the amount of normies who quite simply do not care. Not just can't be bothered to spend the ~10 seconds to open the extension browser, enter "adblock" and click install - but flat out don't care, and will just shrug and go "why? it doesn't bother me" when you mention adblocking. And that again is for VISIBLE ADS THAT DISRUPT BROWSING, not for some nebulous "privacy" or "tracking" behind the scenes.

Shit like Brave is EXACTLY as easy to install as Chrome. People don't use it anyway. In the Firefox vs. Chrome browser wars, "it's more private" held zero ground - Chrome rose up from nothing and crushed Firefox just because Google used their market share to tell everyone "btw you should totally use this". So everyone went "oh ok".

I think the only successful example of making normies care about privacy are VPN companies. They shelled out a mind-boggling amount of money on sponsorships and ads and successfully instilled into people a fear of "your data will be spied upon and that's baaaaaad! but you can protect yourself using a VPN, like us for example!". The amount of marketing that had be done for this is mind-boggling though - I feel like every youtube video with more than a few hundred thousand views published during 2016-2020 or so had a VPN sponsorship.

>>50023654
That's fair. The problem with normies is they'll always choose convivence (or complacency) over security. Maybe a good majority of them will need to get burned really bad before they'll change their attitude on that. Sort of like people taking security more seriously after they get robbed. Maybe things will change with the normies after the coming inflation and monetary crash.

As for mass adoption, the switch and use of the thing needs to be easy/convenient, or the rewards of doing so have to be greater. Even though I'm technically & security inclined, I find myself unmotivated to keep all my programs/apps up to date, and to learn how to switch to things until I get around to feeling like it (have time to invest in the chore). It helps a lot when programs have self-updaters, and if setup/startup is very easy. For example, there was a lot of resistance to learn XMRig and Gminer, but it turned out a lot more easier and simple than I had thought. But still I had to follow a guide on a website, and sort of figure out the switches and config files. Good luck with that normies. Although the XMR gui wallet was incredibly easy to learn by just running it, and I think that'll go a long way towards helping adoption.

On the flip side, if a normie goes to the bank, they got staff that will walk them through opening an account and doing stuff. ATM machine too complicated, go talk to a teller. At the store, self-checkout too complicated, talk to a cashier that will do everything for them. Normie gets hired for a job, HR will walk them through everything, and they'll get taught how to do it by somebody. It's all a lot more convenient than something like self-employment or opening a business where the person has to find and learn everything themselves. So normies are conditioned to expect convenience, thus much higher adoption because of all the resources spent on walking them through stuff. It's the saying of people will take the path of least resistance.

vendors have to adjust prices in real time to match fiat equivalents if they wish to be fair, if you buy coins on Binance there is a seconds window where the price you see on the screen is valid, after that they will feed you a new price, but i guess in the dark web those kinds of systems would be very hard to implement, since most pages are very static with little to no client side scripting

[Anonymous No.50025382]

>>50025083
You could trivially have a backend check. Just have the page say "this is valid for the next ~30 seconds" or whatever. With a bit of UX design to make sure it's convenient to actually check the price and confirm the order within 30 seconds, it'd be fine.
The real issue is that exchanges don't need to liquidate to fiat as such since they are just there to facilitate trades, but DNMs do if they want to lock in value, and I would be surprised if they could offramp every order within 30 seconds or even a few minutes. I'm guessing the process is much slower, and/or they might also hold some (or all) of the XMR for using in turn.

Well yeah, if fiat gets more inconvenient like with the coof, or when it goes to zero...then that increases the incentive to adopt XMR. What can also help adoption is if there's more goods and services available for exchange with XMR (it also increases XMR's value). I just searched Craigslist and there were no matches for XMR where I am, and 30-ish matches for BTC and 30-ish for ETH. If everything on Craigslist was available for XMR, adoption and it's value will increase dramatically. I don't know anything about XMR's black market uses other than hearsay, but if it's all true, then it helped XMR a lot due to having "exclusive goods and services" available that were less accessible by fiat and normie means.

The incentive on Bitcoin (Cash) after block rewards run out will be transaction fees paid by billions of users.

Im not really sure how decentralized the mixing is, since it still has coordinating servers and on the cashfusion website they say currently, the fewer servers, the better.
On top of that, cashfusion just seems to be coinjoin, which just means only outputs being spent at the same time you are spending can be used, which isn't anywhere near as private as how ring signatures work today. And this wasn't cover by the FAQ, but I feel like your transactions will take longer if there are not many people using it, or not go through entirely if the coordination server goes down or censored.

Looked more into this. It's literally someone spamming vanity address tx's that say hilarious shit such as,
>t1ZookoisALiarxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxvWqE9Q
>t1ZookoPAYDAiRAandSEANMoRExxxwGTRjm
>t1ZookoPAYScroniesxxxxxxxxxxy1VSEWJ
go ahead and look up these addresses on a block explorer. Kek. 20k+ tx's on each address since May.
it's hysterical because cringe twitter accounts like "Documenting Zcash" are celebrating the "new TX ATH" while nobody actually uses the fucking thing.

Because it's not about shilling zcash, it's about ruining monero's image.

The reason there is no Zcash general is because Zcash is an intellectually bankrupt corporate-controlled monstrosity that shits on everything cryptocurrency, especially a "privacy oriented" cryptocurrency, is supposed to stand for and anybody that does any serious research can figure this out after about 10 minutes of investigation. There is nothing to talk about when it comes to Zcash because it was founded on such abysmal premises.
