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 cryptocurrencies. 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 to 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 gradually approached 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

2. Pick 'Advanced' mode

3. Set up your wallet

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"

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 Jews fear XMR. Every time you buy XMR, the Jew screams in pain. The nosy Jew wants to know your wallet amount but he can't. Stand against the glowie Jew, stack your XMR.

The Jews cannot stop the parallel economy. You can live off XMR using gift cards. Food, stuff from Amazon, gas, plane tickets and hotels. You will never need to cash out your XMR. You just buy the things you need with XMR.

Jews have been kicked out of 110 countries because they're slimely subversive little fucks. Sam Bankman-Fried (born March 6, 1992) is such a Jew that steals funds from his customers.

>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 reliance on centralized exchanges is an issue. what is being done about this? bisq is great as its the only decentralized on ramp for us dollars i know of, but it's a bit different and maybe difficult for some people to wrap their heads around. some more conventional dexes would be good too.

perhaps this is more an issue of the dexes themselves not supporting monero, maybe monero is weird and some way and compatibility with existing dexes would be a hassle to work out. i don't know i'm just guessing. but the most important privacy coin relying almost entirely on centralized exchanges is not good.

the centralized exchanges many of them will cuck themselves to regulators even before a regulation is passed its disgusting.

Ok so Monero uses POW. How many nodes are currently out there to support the network in case of a 51% attack?
Lets say there are 100k nodes, and some government like the Chinese, Russian, American or North Korean wants to completely fuck the blockchain. How much effort do you think this attack would mean to them?
The Chinese government builds huge ghost cities just for fun, do you think they can't make a 51% attack if they want to?
I'm just asking from my ignorance, i don't know how many monero nodes are there but I'm particularly pessimistic on this topic.

While not impossible, governments aren't agile enough to use their spare capacity to attack monero.

k but this is only assuming that monero stays low profile. Also you can get a monero node up and running in a raspberry or something cheaper, i don't think they would need to use their day to day equipment.
So in other words, as long as monero stays in the shadows and never get to be a real threat to fiat it will be ok (This also applies to any other cryptos).

I would say that based on market cap, we are sufficiently hashed to fend off the idea of an attack. if our market cap doubled or tripled, we would see hash rise the same. Currently, I believe it would be like buying a $40 bolt cutter to bust a lock worth $2.50.

It's one of the area's XMR is weak to BTC. Being minable on consumer grade hardware is great for decentralization and security so long as the majority of participants are honest. If a nation state wanted to attack XMR it would be fairly simple and cheap for them to do so given the hardware they already have access to would be sufficient. If they wanted to attack BTC there is doubt to whether they could even garner enough specialized equipment to do so and costs of trying to acquire such equipment would quickly skyrocket and maybe even face troubles getting it as most suppliers are miners with a vested interest in the long term security of BTC (they would refuse to sell). BTCs hash rate is also something to behold and it is predicted all the worlds top supercomputers combined wouldn't be able to 51% attack it. At this point the main vector of attack for BTC is the sha256 algo. If that broke the world would have far bigger problems though given pretty much every single bank account and encrypted system would be at the mercy of said attacker at that point.

It's safe to assume as demand for XMR increases and the price of XMR increases along with it then the incentives to mine it would also increase and an arms race of hash rate would ensue.

Does anyone know how to get ANY crypto with a debit card/gift card/cash without KYC in America? I already know about DEXs for Monero that I can use to swap my coins, but I need a way to get the coins in the first place.

Last time I used Localmonero.co, my bank froze my account and probably put me on a list or something because every 2 weeks I'd get locked out and they kept asking me for a shit ton of personal information. It got so bad that I had to close my bank account and get a new one with a different company, kek. Anyways, I just want a way to acquire monero actually anonymously.

lol that works both ways, what is easier to attack is also easier to defend. The majority of today's supercomputers run on GPUs, not CPUs, and the total potential hashrate of defenders i.e. citizens of the world far outweighs that of governments.

lol a determined nation state wouldn't need to attack the network the hard way, they could simply:

1) Declare PoW mining an " environmental hazard"
2) Cut off the resupply of ASICs by restricting or outright prohibiting their importation and sale.
3) Cut off the power to ASIC mining farms citing the aforementioned "environmental concerns"
4) Raid known mining farms in a coordinated global strike and turn the seized hardware against the network.

Monero is immune to 2, 3 & 4 because there are no Monero mining farms to target.

Yeah except they have no reason to do this unless monero gets big, in which case the "hundred gigahash range" wouldn't be enough. The attack surface and defense surface scale equally.

I'm not an expert here, but if another pool is bigger than P2Pool, not in hash rate but in nodes, then they can perform a 51% attack.
Also this pool could be concealed so the attack takes the coin by surprise.

You're assuming the network wouldn't get bigger. Let's say we have 100 nodes in the network and 60 of them are running p2pool. It would be impossible to perform a 51% attack unless someone added nodes to the network, so if the government decided to start their own pool with 100 nodes, now we have 60/200 nodes that are using p2pool, which makes us vulnerable again.

tl;dr
It makes it harder to perform, but a determined enemy would be able to flood the network with malicious nodes.

That being said, our current hashrate is 2.78GH/s, so you'd have to commit over 1.39GH/s to accomplish a 51% attack at this time. So you'd need a little over 13,700 AMD Epic 7763 64 Core Processors, which would cost $65,760,000 (not including power supplies, motherboards, hard drives, network cables, cooling system, etc) to do.

I think you're forgetting the difference between a node and miner. You could have nodes refuse to show a transaction, but that wouldn't make the transaction invalid and someone could just use a different node to see the transaction that you're trying to hide. To censor a transaction would require controlling the miners, so that you could refuse to accept it as valid and the rest of the network would have to believe you (or hard fork, thus creating 2 different blockchains).

Then the power costs and calculating hash rate/profitability. Someone recommended “monero ocean” but this sit doesn’t really fill me in on the hardware. Do I need to fill a whole basement with CPU’s strung together somehow for 200k to be profitable? Then pay 10k a month in electricity? How’s a tech retard to get started in this? Im sure an average joe like me could probly do it with persistence.

No, the hashrate of p2pool are hashes that are guaranteed to be non malicious. As long as p2pool can MAINTAIN 51% then the coin is immune to 51% attacks from pools (i.e the government can't just hack all the pools and force them to mine their sidechain to attack, they need to get additional resources). This doesn't mean that when p2pool reaches 51% it will be immune to 51% attacks. An attacker can bring outside hashrate into the network and attack even if p2pool has 51%, because they could just gather 10 GH/s from outside the network and attack, silently mining a sidechain and then releasing it.

>Oh yes lets mobilize the nation's general purpose computers to take down a network worth less than $3 Billion. It'd be easier for botnets to attempt this but still very difficult.

Of course the highest security can be achieved on an open source RISC computer with hand crafted OS utilizing only open source components.

Most users just want to install an app and not worry about their funds being stolen.
Cake wallet + Android secure storage and OS model ensures that, a Windows PC with BitLocker encryption, TPM, etc. does not. Neither does a regular Linux distro like Ubuntu or Debian. Only Qubes can offer similar security from a users perspective.

Worst case scenario: instant swap services are BTFO'd, p2p marketplaces like agoradesk and localmonero are BTFO'd, and exchanges like kucoin and tradeogre have to go full KYC to remain online. Serai DEX and Haveno would fix this, but they will probably get banned on github, tornado cash style. Also there's a non-zero possibility that these DEXs get filled with feds that track and eventually arrest low-opsec users who try to buy monero with insufficiently mixed bitcoin, paypal, and mail-in cash.

Holding monero right now is kind of like being in 2015 when you could buy a ton of bitcoin off of coinbase with no requirement of KYC shit.

impossible, 80$ monero is literally impossible, the bottom is 120$, any time it hits 120$ the regular users just buy more for their purchases... the coin is stable, at the 120 to 150 interval it's a buy, if it goes over 150 it will fall down sooner than later, i have made some bucks swing trading monero, buying at lows 120 and 130 and selling at highs 150 160, but it was slow compared to other opportunities

Some time ago I heard about the "Republic Protocol", which would, in a decentralized fashion, chain amongst different blockchains. The rules were, there would be about 1 billion REN tokens, and you need 100,000 to operate a "darknode"- meaning there could only ever be 10,000 of these "darknodes", all of which shared in the rewards for transmuting from one blockchain to another. This is the origin of the REN token, and these guys are still up there. But you know what they haven't added?

Monero. They haven't added the one currency that matters to their business model. Their reason, at the time, was that Monero used some cryptographic algorithm that they didn't yet support.

Monero, since then, has added atomic swap with BTC, but has anyone here ever done it? It's only works good in one direction and work is needed on the wallet side to support it usefully.

As such, almost all Monero is exchanged using centralized exchanges, which are definitely of concern, as nation after nation comes after the ones that list Monero.

Is there a DEX that will exchange Monero to something else, and back?

*****/XMR/ Monero General Poker Night*****
>*****/XMR/ Monero General Poker Night*****

Hang out and play Texas Hold'em with fellow MoneroChads safely over an anonymized network and hopefully win some XMR along the way!

To accommodate players from different time zones, Poker Night commences at 6:00 PM Sydney, Australia time and then rolls westward throughout the day, so in effect the entirety of Saturday = Poker Night, feel free to drop in at any time!

>STARTS
06:00 PM Sydney
10:00 Berlin
04:00 AM New York City


>WHERE
Poker Night alternates between Poker Club and XMR Poker to give both services traffic. This week XMR Poker is the designated host while Poker Club is the backup should there be technical issues or all tables reach capacity.

Neither service requires JavaScript.

>Poker Club
http://pokerggxmrvzecuo6afhucjwdljuve5eoavxdxdr6zedyejd6mvz5wad.onion

Dread: http://dreadytofatroptsdj6io7l3xptbet6onoyno2yv7jicoxknyazubrad.onion/d/PokerClub

>XMR Poker
http://xmrpoker3icphjr7c6dgct3by44ph4xvxrds4jzwjkjh7h2owdf6icyd.onion

Be sure to read the guides on either site to familiarize yourself with how things work.


>REQUIREMENTS
You will obviously need to download and install the Tor Browser to access the darknet.

https://www.torproject.org/download/

You will also need an unknown amount of XMR to play. Don't stake more than you can afford to lose.

Optionally, you can voice chat and coordinate over Jitsi for a more authentic social experience. Jitsi is FOSS and end-to-end encrypted.

https://meet.jit.si/
https://desktop.jitsi.org/Main/Download.html


Note that unlike with clearnet gaming, playing over Tor with Monero is by far the comfiest way to play because your identity, IP address and money trail cannot be established so you don't have to worry about legalities or about the tax man coming to collect his share of your winnings.

Good luck!!

There is no practical method to ban it that would be enforceable. The networks functionality would continue to work regardless of whatever laws get passed, both because it's hard to enforce locally and because Monero is a global network with a well distributed node and mining network across the globe.

If by
>rendered useless
you just mean actions that could drop the price a lot then yes that perfectly well exists. Centralized exchange delistings tend to drop the price as it scares the speculators away.

I personally think Monero has great potential upside but if you don't genuinely believe in the coin as a moral proposition regardless of price action, a pure speculator type might not want to stomach the roller coaster and potential downsides of regulatory pressure affecting price. From a risk-perspective it would be a lot less stressful to buy ETH or BTC which trade like the S&P 500 with leverage, but have very little regulatory risk as they're captured entities.

Considering they have almost the same supply, Monero should be viewed like investing into Bitcoin in 2013 when it was viewed as scary internet drug dealer money that was just going to get banned. That isn't an implication or hint that it's going to copy BTC's price action either, I'm saying if that as if you had to genuinely weigh that decision without the benefit of hindsight like you would have now. None of us have a crystal ball.

It's like congratulating a gender transition or celebrating a member of a rival house vowing themself to chastity or becoming a eunuch. Literal USD backers that fly their private jets to Davos and make deals for oil supply from the saudi crown prince talking about the environment nigga please. To me the OFAC debacle ended ETH. All these cucked American adventure crapitalists revealing they will do anything to appease governments so they can get a return on their NFT scam. You pretty much have to be extremely anti-american to support actual crypto these days, very sad for a once free country.

I think the mining ban in China last year is what scared the shit out of ESG people. BTC hash rate dropped like what, 80% and recovered no problem with perfect consensus. That's just how PoW works. Looking at the ETH 2.0 staking all it takes is a couple letters from a US agency and all the centralized LLC legal address email stakers are frozen and the people running the staking pools go to jail like the tornado.cash dev. And the chain is cucked to prevent pool switching quickly. It's guaranteed to fail. XMR mining on TOR and there's fucking ZERO they can do. Nothing. They have no contacts. No proof.

Yes. The logic behind diceware is that because there's more words than characters, the entropy increases much faster the more words you add. Even if the attacker knows the dictionary you used(diceware uses a list that is 7776 words long), once you hit 6 words it's basically impossible to crack, even assuming 10 billion guesses per second, since they would need to try 7776^6 combinations to MAYBE guess what it is.

Veracrypt is easy and the best, but KeePass held locally is good enough. Both of them fundamentally rely on a strong passphrase (that's the only thing you can rely on, anything that gives you a PIN or something is relying on some hardware trick that is ultimately solvable my many potential adversaries), and both of them have solid encryption.

However, KeePass supports AES and Twofish, and Veracrypt has many more. If an encryption thing doesn't support Serpent, I look at it funny. Especially if it's something that moves small amount of data, like passwords. There's no excuse not to have Serpent.

If by ESG you mean Extremely Spooky Glowniggers, yes. The other ESG is just cover for things the glowies like: more surveillance, less freedom (of movement, of nuclear energy, etc.), and being able to punish people who reject The Current Thing without the hassle of legal channels.
