/XMR/ - Monero General

[None !!ZrnK6IK8Nit No.54388604]

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.

Using XMR to buy giftcards seems like a great way of spending money without being tracked, but if you live in a country that taxes crypto transactions, legally you must calculate capital gains whenever you make a purchase with XMR right?

Could the government see that "hey this guy is no longer using his bank account to make any purchases, he just makes purchases to Coinbase once a month and magically buys everything with giftcards, from this we can deduce he is exchanging crypto for giftcards and is paying no tax on this"

Threadly reminder that there is now a parallel XMR General on the darknet imageboard BitChan where you can post with the absolute maximum degree of privacy possible.

Why bother? Well, remember that every time you post on 4chan the content + your IP address are being logged and that data can and will be made available to LE/glowies upon request.

So if you need to ask a very delicate question, want to make a potentially incriminating announcement or you otherwise just absolutely positively DO NOT WANT to risk being deanonymized, the BitChan thread would be the place to do it.

The slightly higher barrier to entry also serves as a sorely needed retard filter, so a lot of us post there simply to avoid the hordes of mouth breathers that befoul this otherwise delightful basket weaving forum.

>How do I access BitChan?

You need to have I2P configured & running on your device. Fortunately, pre-configured browser bundles are now available and make everything easy. Since most of you lazy faggots are still using Windows we'll default to that for the following guide:

1. Visit https://i2pd.website/ and click on 'Download I2PdBrowser'.
2. Download either the I2PdBrowserPortable_xxx.7z or .exe file. Extract/install it.
3. Run the StartI2PdBrowser.bat batch file to launch. Adjust firewall settings/port forward as required. Port forwarding > UPnP

A cmd window will pop up and initialize the process. A windowed Firefox instance should soon appear. DO NOT RESIZE IT! Browser fingerprinting is a thing. Once pic-related appears you are officially browsing the darknet! You can monitor yr I2P service by visiting http://127.0.0.1:7070/ in yr *regular* browser.

Then simply copy/paste the following link into the address bar as per usual:

http://bitchan.i2p/thread/BM-2cVPN9mi9oBKATjNxKkopHJSCU9ah7wQwW/047186ce462d

You may have to complete a CAPTCHA on your first visit. Also, NEVER, EVER ENABLE JAVASCRIPT!!!!

Keep in mind that page loading takes longer on the darknet, so be patient.

My own experience is that it generally tends to be faster than Tor.


>awkward to configure

It ain't 2012 no more, nigga, there are pre-configured bundles available now. Using I2P is as easy as using Tor.


>Tor works just fine, idk why retards are trying to make i2p happen.

Tor gets slower as the number of users grows. I2P gets faster as the number of users grows.

I2P is an isolated network by default and thus more suitable for hidden services.

>I2P, by and large, is better for anonymity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zcakseXH_I&t=1102s

I2P is a 100% underground cypherpunk project with no history of governmental involvement or funding.

I2P is the future.....until something better comes along. Rinse & repeat.

[Anonymous No.54397172]

>>54396530
i2p is inherently more secure than Tor.

Now mind you onion networks have some intrinsic weaknesses that are hard to mitigate. Mixnets are fundamentally more superior. However mixnets are also way slower (yes, even slower than tor or i2p) and more complex. So for now we mainly have onion networks.
And as far as onion networks go, Tor goes even further and opens up a HUGE attack surface by being designed as a clearnet proxy. This enables a whole class of side-channel attacks based on traffic analysis, such as timing injection, IRL correlation, etc. i2p's architecture is inherently superior by not encouraging, and in fact actively discouraging using it to access the clearnet, which significantly reduces the potency of many such attacks.

I wish we had a usable mixnet, outside of just academic papers on the subject. The only real project I'm aware of is the Nym network, and that's tied to a crypto token which really has zero reason to exist. So for now, i2p is the second best thing we can get.

What happens if you use something like this to exchange it for goods and services, rather than a different currency?
I'm assuming what they actually ruled is that Bitcoin is to be treated same way as they treat normal capital gains assets, so presumably there's rules for that already, e.g. if you tried to buy a pizza paying with Google stock shares or something. While semi-absurd for normal "investments", I presume the law still specifies what happens lest it become a glaring loophole.

Fuck this shit. Why does everything have to be an "ecosystem" nowadays?

Not touching that anymore, I just wanted to run a node, but they can circlejerk with their Cosmos smart contract and Code of Conduct and other garbage. Meanwhile my newly set up i2p router has had ~400GB of traffic in the last 4 days. Nym can eat a dick.

But does that give even give you money

[Anonymous No.54401964]

>>54401857
Not sure which one you're talking about, but the answer is "no".
The only difference is that it took me about ~3 minutes to set up the i2p node and verify that it was running correctly, and then just forget about it. Maybe it took me a total of 10 minutes counting the time it took me to do a bit of research on how to install it, checking stuff like whether the package is up to date or not, and glancing over the config (which has sane defaults so mainly I just saw the option for floodfill and enabled that).
In the end, I get $0 from it.

With nym, I'd have to spend at least half an hour downloading the wallet and setting it up and interacting with the smart contracts, etc. I say at least half an hour because I'd have to fund it and I bet it's only on shit-tier exchanges and I'd need to log in to those, move funds across my wallets, make at least a couple of transactions and have them confirm, pay trading fees...
Then, if there's bonding, I assume that must mean there's some kind of slashing, though I have literally not found any info on that in the documentation. I'd have to waste more time figuring out wtf it's doing. That's not even counting the ~15 minutes I already spent reading the docs, which is ALREADY longer than it took me to set up i2p from scratch. While it's running, I'd then presumably run the financial risk of slashing, which isn't much because you need like 25 bucks to bond right now but it's 25 bucks that I'd be putting at risk while trying to help out the network.
And anyway, after all that, I'd be earning like $0.001 a month or so. Which I don't count as "earning money" either. Hell, it'd probably lose me money considering I'm locking funds for bonding - even without the risk of slashing, I'm very skeptical of the return on investment for those 25 bucks.

So on the balance of things, i2p works out as not only MUCH more convenient, but also literally cheaper.

It's basically the same as bartering apples for oranges. You are still required to pay taxes on the fair market value for the transaction. Now, whether that is actually enforced for apples and oranges is quite unlikely, but when using a literal surveillance system as a payment gateway you would probably have no choice unless you want to get thrown away for tax evasion. Silly bitcoiners really don't deserve to be mad over this, they did it to themselves.

goverment is notoriously incompetent so unless you're sending thousands at the same time to coinbase you're fine. problems might start if you want to get a mortgage from bank and they start asking questions about your transaction history. it's better to take small amounts of money out of atm and buying monero with cash although that might not be an option for most people. in a perfect world you would be mining all of the monero you spend. personally, i dca x amount every month by using kraken since it's one of the better exchanges in terms of security and how they conduct business.

The browser bundle is still worth using because it's a re-configured Tor browser, which comes with all the anti-fingerprinting and hardening measures of that.
However yes running your own i2pd is just fine and maybe even better than the bundle's, since the bundle has a slightly outdated one.

For reference though that's GNU screen. Install it if you do want to use the bundle i2pd. It's a weirdly hacky way to daemonise a process.

>How do I know the drawing is fair?
The drawing of this system is easily verifyable with 2 things. First is our sign key, which is the first block of the month. The sign key used to create your entry hash using SHA256(SignKey+ID). The resulting hash is shown beside your entry id. Entry id is an incrementing number from 1 to total number of entries. This will always be a deterministic hash based on the current drawing month.

After the month, we will get the first block hash of the next month and use this to compare all previous entries to select the winning entries. Entries with similar total characters are equally splitting the winning pot.

Only characters that aligns with your hash to block hash are counted. So "abc123" and "aaa1bb" means 2 matches.

Why Zcash™ is better than Monero

* has a cool CEO
* strong corporate presence, has no scary anonymous developers not subject to US/EU regulatory pressure or intimidation
* not overly-concerned with privacy, compliance is prioritized in every consideration regardless of the consequences
* mostly transparent transactions (no mandatory privacy), transactions are unique and identifiable (more creative), research has shown that even shielded usage is largely traceable (too much privacy might mean gov't/chainalysis can't monitor to keep us safe)
* non-shielded IP addresses (the NSA has the right to know where every user is)
* uses cool, exciting, bleeding edge, experimental, less understood, risky, spooky moon math as opposed to boring, established, well-understood, battle-tested and thus safe cryptography (yawn)
* non-modular approach to privacy = cooler
* proven track record of not being used by big scary criminals, 0 years of sustained darknet usage with millions of users traced, has notably befriended the FBI, Europol & the IRS
* suspected backdoors to catch bad guys
* dev tax i.e. "founder's reward/community development fund", because they're cool and deserve it
* designed to systematically enrich founders & early Zerocoin Electric Coin Company LLC investors, because they're cool and deserve it
* Bitcoin fork (why re-invent the wheel?)

(1/2)

[Anonymous No.54416741]

* transitioning to Proof-of-Stake, old/boring PoW has a proven 10+ year track record. consumer-grade CPU mining remains the most anonymous, most permissionless way of acquiring coins, which might allow bad guys to get coins without going through KYC (bad)
* embraces big and awesome ASIC farms
* no tail emission, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it
* static, non-flexible blocksize (we'll eventually re-enact the blocksize war because that was epic)
* higher inflation (more like the fiat we know and love)
* little real-world adoption (good for speculation), not displacing Bitcoin in OPSEC-critical markets, not endorsed by the DNM Bible (big scary bad guys)
* 0 criminal adoption = infinitely more fed cred, no law enforcement/regulator hostility = easier speculation
* non-passionate speculative investments, considerably less community engagement and activism (under stable control of corporation), boomer memes (more mature users)
* significantly worse reputation in cryptocurrency community (cringe), has much less traction on Reddit (neckbeards), 4chan (nazis), etc
* greater centralization = much more likely to be affected by governmental crackdown on privacy coins (gov't knows best)
* trademark restrictions, pandering to the establishment, has abandoned crypto's anti-authoritarian free market cypherpunk ideals (freedom is scary and bad)

It won’t fuck up your cpu. Much harder to ruin a cpu through mining than a GPU IMO. However, it’s more difficult to mess with CPU over clocks and memory timing since that’s mostly controlled at the BIOS/UEFI level so you will probably be running inefficiently (if you focus on using the computer outside of mining) or running slower for daily work (if you set your CPU to basically extreme eco mode).

What you’re thinking of is proof of (useful) work and there is a lot of development going into it. However, unfortunately it typically results in weaker security for the crypto, which is the #1 pillar of cryptocurrencies so the trade-off is never worth it (ie. Why weaken your currency so a bunch of poorfag leeches can get free shit?). If someone figures out a good way to do it without compromising the blockchain then it’d be nice.

[Sue Whitehead No.54419887]

No, uptime doesn’t matter much with mining. Think of it like Effort x Time = Work where you’re paid on the quantity of Work. Less time mining means less payouts, but you’re not getting slashed or anything. There can be some penalties from pool operators for being an unreliable miner (looks like pool-hopping to maximize profit) but if you’re using p2pool this shouldn’t matter. The problem with mining and solar is that a.) batteries are expensive as fuck b.) if you don’t have batteries you just doubled or tripled the ROI time required for your hardware, which might be the different between turning a profit or a loss (example: if you payoff a CPU in 2 years and it becomes unprofitable after 3 years, then if you mine on solar and the breakeven point becomes 4 years you might be fucked). Take into account depreciation of the solar setup (relatively well-known by now). CPU depreciation I would say is also pretty stable, although there are odd cases like the ryzen 3xxx series depreciating a ton but still being competitive while intel still sucks for mining for the most part.<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>

monero isn't really a moonboy investment and could face a pretty hard initial crash if the EU keeps moving forward with their plans to ban it from VASPs

however, they arent planning a blanket ban on Monero for all citizens, which is why i believe it will recover from the initial shock over time thanks to P2P markets like haveno and basicswapdex, DeFi like SeraiDex & BLCK (although the later one seems wonky) and also centralized exchanges who just dont give a damn about laws since they are registered in the caymans

I work in Cloud and monero is basically a way for people to steal from us. I think low-barrier-to-entry POW is a neat idea but after having seen this side of it I don’t like it any more.

We should at least have proof-of-useful work instead. RandomX just burns CPU. If people are gonna make my job harder by doing huge amounts of CPU work I’d rather it be doing something useful vs wasteful.

Monero is actually very well-positioned to adopt proof of useful work because it’s already CPU-based, so it’s less of a change to just move to a different CPU algo/mining implementation. Other cryptos have entrenched interests and stakeholders who will want to keep POW on asics/gpu or just migrate to POS.

1000x better than burning the worlds supply of energy through GPUs and ASICs that do nothing but mine bitcoin. CPUs are much more energy efficient for securing the network.

The solution is to stop allowing people to steal from you. Simple as that.

Too bad. The internet gave a hard time to malls. Uber gave a hard time to taxi drivers. Henry Ford gave a hard time to horse breeders. This is how technology works. And at least you can patch the vulnerabilities and get back on track... a horse breeder could never out-breed the Model-T. The fact that Monero is being used by criminals is in fact a very good thing; That's how Bitcoin started, and ultimately it proves these people, whose lives are on the line, near-unanimously trust in Monero being the most secure, private, fungible, and censorship-resistant means of transferring value. So you're asking for one of the freest, most powerful technologies that exists today to be kneecapped in order to make your job a bit easier? The answer is "no". If you think this is such a great idea then you can fork the project with a higher barrier to entry PoW system, and try to convince people on your strictly worse version of Monero. Noone will care, but you can try.

1. What exactly do you suggest? It's very hard to know whether something is "useful" outside of the system itself without a central authority. It's easy to mathematically verify that a hash value is below some threshold. Not so easy to verify that you're cured cancer.
2. It's not "wasteful", any more than electricity being "wasted" to light our rooms or power the devices we're on. This "waste" secures the network. It also gives Monero an actual anchor to the real world, as opposed to the proof-of-made-up-bullshit as in PoS and most other alternatives. Proof of work is proof of a tangible, verifiable expense/investment being made, explicitly and exclusively to mine a Monero block.

Good evenings frens, time for a quick tutorial for running that latest Monerochan AI model. If you use Windows and have a beefy GPU, this guide is for you.

First, download the monerochan model file: civitai.com/models/23982/monerochan (civitai.com/api/download/models/28659)
This is a special type of model (LoCon/LoHA), which is used in combination with a larger checkpoint file. We will need to get a compatible checkpoint file, and install an extension to use the monerochan model with it.

Let's download a usable checkpoint file. For everything I've generated I have used civitai.com/models/18207/ether-real-mix (civitai.com/api/download/models/23036)

Now that we have the monerochan_v1.safetensors and etherRealMix... files, let's install our user interface.
There are many guides for this already, here's one example: stable-diffusion-art.com/install-windows/
If you follow the example I posted, when you get to 'Step 4' copy the etherRealMix file into C:\Users\USER\stable-diffusion-webui\models\Stable-diffusion\

Now you should have the interface installed. Run it using the instructions in the installation guide, and open it in your Internet browser by going to http://127.0.0.1:7860

We now need to install the extension that allows us to run the special monerochan_v1 model. Go to the 'Extensions' tab, and select 'Install from URL'
The extension we want is github.com/KohakuBlueleaf/a1111-sd-webui-locon
Install it.

The extension should have created the directory we need to copy the monerochan_v1.safetensors file into, C:\Users\USER\stable-diffusion-webui\models\Lora
Copy the monerochan model into that directory. You probably don't need to restart automatic1111 at this point, but I'd recommend doing so to be on the safe side.

[Anonymous No.54428833]

Everything is now set up. Open automatic1111, and select etherRealMix... as the 'Stable Diffusion checkpoint' in the top left corner. To use the monerochan model, we include it in the positive prompt by writing <lora:monerochan_v1:1>. There are example prompts on the civitai page we originally used to download the monerochan model, but here's an example to help you get the idea:

(enter this as the prompt)
monerochan, <lora:monerochan_v1:1>, 1girl, masterpiece, best quality, stud earrings,

(enter this as the negative prompt)
lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark, username, blurry

...and that's it! Generate away. Typically my approach is to generate something I like in 512x512 in txt2img, then increase the resolution to 1024x1024 or higher using img2img. I suggest starting from other people's prompts/configurations that you think work well.

It’s not just me. It happens to people running binaries on their local PC too. The RandomX dev even wrote RandomX sniffer to stop that. And despite web mining being broken by requiring certain floating point operations, nobody on Randomx has tried to make it so web mining would be supported.

I doubt you know much about computers. There is nothing sacred and holy about randomx except that it is cpu-based. Any other cpu-based POW algorithm would be just as effective in accomplishing the goals of monero of being democratic and secure.

>>54428661
I don’t mind that criminals use monero. I have been a monero fan and have held it for a long time even before I started dealing with cloud miners.

Randomx is indeed wasteful when compared with a theoretical replacement of “secures the network by doing something practical”

Because of my work in software, I can think of several ways for randomx to simply patch in anti-malware and related functionality. One way would be to use syscalls that are either restricted by default, or that can be disabled. Another would be to inject features that make sniffing easier, like a predictable distribution of instructions per hash, that wouldn’t collide with other common software (I think RandomX already has a predictable distribution, but it would be easier to detect if it included commonly-supported but rarely-used instructions).


Remember, monero is commonly used in malware that affects regular PC users - what I’m asking for would help them too. You may think it’s a net good because it doesn’t affect you personally and adds hashrate to the network, but there are several problems with this:

1. In the security world, a lot of work is done to stop monero mining. People are beginning to think monero=malware, which is not good for adoption, and just makes it less likely for a legitimate business to want anything to do with it.

2. Malware and cloud mining centralize hashrate which is contrary to the goals of monero

[Anonymous No.54430484]

>>54430437
(Cont.)

3. Because monero is commonly used in malware but slightly difficult to detect, incompetent engineers will do stuff like block all binaries named xmrig. Right now that’s just an annoying Windows/antivirus problem for mining outside of malware. But eventually it may come to pass that eg Windows blocks all monero mining by detecting RandomX. So it’s helpful for the monero project to disincentivize this by making it hard to include it in malware, or provide some kind of signal to the OS that it’s being run intentionally

Mining to secure the network IS USEFUL WORK.
Do you know how much energy traditional banking consume?
Shit load more and nobody says a word.

This argument is similar to the psyop where certain people keep emphasizing that monero is "private money" in a way that you don't need privacy.
Fuck off monero is money.
Lack of privacy in blockchain kills fungibility therefore it cannot be money(you might as well pay for things with pokémon cards) and screaming your bank balance to the whole world everytime you buy a bread also probably isn't a good idea.

If memory serves me correctly the Raspberry Pi is not smart enough to boot off USB directly, you still need to have a microsd card inserted which contains a primary bootloader which points to the USB device.

>Everyone who disagrees with me just doesn't know!
You're a retard. Changing the algorithm to another CPU algorithm will simply have them using the new algorithm. If Monero stopped existing right now then people would simply use a different algorithm. You can't be this stupid.

>Randomx is indeed wasteful when compared with a theoretical replacement of “secures the network by doing something practical”

Hurry up and propose an ASIC resistant CPU algorithm that "does something practical" without an arbitrary centralized source dictating what is practical. We'll wait on that one.

>I can think of several ways for randomx to simply patch in anti-malware and related functionality. One way would be to use syscalls that are either restricted by default, or that can be disabled. Another would be to inject features that make sniffing easier, like a predictable distribution of instructions per hash, that wouldn’t collide with other common software

>Please please please! Make your mining algorithm easier to detect and reduce it's ability to run uncensored because I can't manage my duties as a sysadmin! IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M SHIT AT MY JOB IT'S YOU YOU MUST CHANGE FOR ME!

Pretty easy. You import the public key into a PGP program, copy the signed text, click "verify" and it will tell you if the signed text matches the public key.

For example. If I have my public-private key pair and I give out my public key I can then sign off on a message and anyone with my public key and verify that I have signed the message, assuming I am still the only one in control of my private-public key pair.

I wonder does crypto really have lasting potential, let me explain if you are a business you legit need to be a good goy and to pay around 30% taxes when you move your crypto to physical money, what i am saying is that it looks like only the shadow economy will have a real usecase for crypto because every other form of business is too complicated to use crypto, i know the original idea of crypto was in some way to destroy the monetary policy nation states but i feel in practice its just better to stick in the fiat money and surrender to the money cartels, what i mean your mortar stores may accept crypto but unless its the informal economy a legit business wont want to deal with the bullshit paper that are normal taxes so they will not use crypto.

------------

Actually, they are not even using lightning wallets. They are using a centralized payment processor that has personal accounts for users, like any other payment app. This centralized processor happens to use lightning wallets in its backend, but there is no 1:1 mapping of payment_account:lightning_wallet. And since Lightning itself doesn't interact with the blockchain except when you open/close payment channels, there is no actual use of bitcoin in the whole scheme. Which is of course to be expected, as the bitcoin network is entirely unable to process the transactions of a small rural town.

Basically, people in El Salvador use a centralized payment app that happens to denominate prices in Bitcoin.

This is what Bitfags tout as "muh state-level adoption."
