/XMR/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.55870131]

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.

The only reason they're in crypto is to exchange it for more fiat than they put in to begin with. It's a more volatile stock and nothing else, and the idea that you could use the cryptocurrency as, you know, a currency that serves as a medium of exchange, never crosses their minds

Monero might take it all and it would make Banks, VCs and Corporates look ike retards again.

Remember after 2013? Financial institutions tried to jump on the blockchain bandwagon, but their attempts barely made a blip during the 2017/18 bull run. They once said, "Bitcoin is just a proof of blockchain. We'll create our private chains." Clearly, they missed the essence of crypto: a decentralized anti-regulation tool designed for folks with inherent mistrust.

By 2020/21, these institutions ditched their custom solutions and started supporting pre-existing blockchains. Venture capitalists doubled down, pouring funds into start-ups under the guise of decentralized blockchain and Web3 projects.

Imagine the irony if the market champions Monero - the one crypto they least believed in and invested the least in.

Think of it in terms of traditional finance, like stocks and bonds. Bonds are boring as shit, they don't do anything, they have no real-world utility, all the wealth creation and advancement comes from companies making things and innovating. Yet the bond market is many times larger than that of stocks, because people need something boring and "useless" to park their money in and always will.
And you don't want Monero taking that place in the center spotlight anyways, where every bank, exchange, politician, and lawyer are fighting to make sure Monero is the bedrock of the system, is regulatory compliant, and view keys are provided for every transaction. Because that's not what Monero is best at. Bitcoin and Monero are two different tools for different things.

Bonds are typically issued by the State and returns are therefore guaranteed. BTC is not a bond backed by the State and returns are never guaranteed, virtually all its value these days is derived from the speculative mania being driven by fraudulent trading.

Holding BTC is therefore a gamble that speculative mania can be sustained indefinitely, which has never happened before in recorded human history.

I just think that trying to make one of the main Monero narratives "Bitcoin will go to zero" and giving it rent-free residence is a bad move, since if it doesn't go to zero, that just makes Monero look stupid by proxy. Monero is great all on its own, it doesn't have to waste time over the price of Bitcoin.


>>55885516
The returns on bonds usually aren't even enough to keep up with inflation, but that problem is fixed with a fixed supply, so you no longer need a guarantee of returns from the state. Plus a lot of their appeal was (though no longer) in being seen as a boring risk-free asset you could leverage the shit out of, trade liabilities (deposits) for, use as collateral. They don't have to be good for anything else, same as gold doesn't have to do anything special besides exist, so long as people use it as a parking lot for money.

Are Zk-proofs in other blockchains an alternative to monero or are they a failure from the start

Because i have to be honest this are the bullish scenarios if all the conditions are correct


>bitcoin fails to gain privacy at the first basic blockchain level

Layer 2 in bitcoin feels like shit

>whatever privacy attempts of other blockchains don't work

I would like to know why monero privacy is simply superior to other blockchains in the long term

> seraphis development

I don't get the full details but if basically this makes monero a full proof normie experience basically makes it really good at the experience level monero will shine

>tari
A monero sidechain dedicated to nfts means anyone can put their degenerate ticket sales, private art i suppose and even smart contracts on this sidechain giving monero the same utility as other blockchains the key diference monero is actually usefull because its anonimous.

Basically if all the conditions are met that other chains can't recreate like monero privacy (plz someone argue to me why bitcoin can't simply have better privacy is it a code problem or a community problem??) and monero also gains the full normie degenerate experience (better ux design because seraphis and tari for gamblers and criminals wanting i don't know putting nfts as stocks for their druglord companys) then i think its inevitable monero will outcompete any other blockchain in the long term or heck the middle term.

>Are Zk-proofs in other blockchains an alternative to monero or are they a failure from the start
zk-proofs aren't bad as much as they are unproven, and using cryptographic algorithms you don't know for sure are solid is a recipe for disaster in any scenario where you need them to Just Work
>Layer 2 in bitcoin feels like shit
Probably because it is
>I would like to know why monero privacy is simply superior to other blockchains in the long term
Proof's in the pudding. Go to any darknet market and ask them how you can pay for their goods/services
>plz someone argue to me why bitcoin can't simply have better privacy is it a code problem or a community problem??
RTFM but the short version is that bitcoin's ledger is completely public. If you have someone's wallet address you can know precisely who've they transacted with, when, and how much btc was exchanged each time. This is not something that can be fixed with a layer on top. XMR's ledger is private to the point that addresses and amounts don't appear even in an encrypted form so getting someone's wallet address is useless unless they also choose to give you a view key to see certain transactions

the dollar is currently more convenient, part of the same reasons it is so convenient (infinite printing and insurance of deposits from banks) is part of why it will fail

money is supposed to be worth something and can't be just snapped into thin air when it gets stolen by printing new supply to insure investors, if you lose your account it's gone, if a scammer takes your dollars out of your account the bank will reimburse you

if your bank collapses the government will reimburse you up to a certain amount

this is only possible with monopoly money

the worse the dollar gets the more prominent metals and monero will be

Anon I got my first job at 29, also fucking around programming but no formal experience or education and zero social skills.

I figured out something that works amazingly: Just fucking lie. I LIED about my previous work experience saying I did freelance programming. I got a role as an intermediary software engineer working in a language I never worked in before so I got to make excuses that I just made mistakes because I didn't know the language and stack instead of me just not being a software engineer at all (lol).

I've since been promoted to senior engineer. Just so you know most of my experience before this was just C hobby projects, some linux autism and the like.

You also have to realize just how retarded the average person is. I'm probably still the smartest engineer in the company despite me being some 4chan autist that was a NEET until 29.

The biggest barrier stopping you from employment is that you THINK you know nothing and everyone else is competent, while in reality no one knows what the fuck they're doing. Not the CEO, not the managers/product owners, Not the engineers. Everyone is just winging it and straight up lying, so do the same and grab those bags.

That's inspirational. It's not the first time somebody suggested me to lie, but I don't have the guts/skills to do it. It is not just one lie, but I'd need to create a new persona about me. And while I've been doing many things, my main focus was videogames, so lying for a normal job would be harder.
>I'm probably still the smartest engineer in the company despite me being some 4chan autist that was a NEET until 29.
That's not hard to believe, doing what you like on your own free time will yield better results than doing because of money. Still, If I were told to show my previous work, I would hesitate to show my clumsy zelda clones.

Anon, just start today. My only regret is that I didn't start lying earlier. Apply to 20 job openings today. Straight up LIE in your resume about experience (not education, they can check that). If they ask to show previous work (they never asked me) then just show the "shitty/clumsy zelda clone", no one cares. The person hiring you doesn't know enough to look critically at it. The senior engineer checking the code doesn't care at all and will just look at it to see if it's actually code.

No one cares, trust me. You have nothing to lose here. I'm not trying to be inspirational, i'm not LARPing and I'm not some weird exception. Just start applying already.

It's happening if you look around. How many gambling sites are there now? Try to enumerate them and it's a surprising amount if you look everywhere. And it's definitely more than just 1-2 years ago. The same goes for grey-market activities. Monero is slowly catching on other miscellaneous markets where private, digital cash works better than paypal/BTC. And as restrictions, KYC, and deplatforming get worse with online payment providers, more will be inclined to use the next best option: Monero. You see this with the recent push from sensible BTC "maxis" towards XMR. That is no accident, a good currency creates its own uses.
>>55902611
>economics
I think you are ignorant of that. Holding is a natural prerequisite to spending. In fact, every unit of a currency (including Monero) is being held by someone at all times. That is how medium of exchanges work. People want to get from commodity/service A to commodity/service B without a direct barter, thus they use a common medium for the exchange. This is not to imply that a "HODL forever" mentality is healthy, it is the opposite. But savings (which is to refrain from spending from a time to increase purchasing power later) do play an important part in the study of economics.
Furthermore, dismissing price when manipulated is just dishonest. If something is manipulated you can still study the price from the underlying actual supply and demand and even draw more complex conclusions than otherwise. We do this all the time as there are barely any markets for which there is no government intervention causing price distortion. Encouraging or disparaging industry, price distortions are everywhere in the economy.
Yet that does not impede our ability to analyze properly. It might impede business calculation resulting in misallocated resources, but the overall discussion can go on.

i don't think you need monerod at all if you only want to use remote node RPC without storing the blockchain. As far as i can tell the daemon is only for synchronizing the blockchain locally and providing RPC for it, it can't function as a RPC proxy. --rpc-bind-ip is the flag for listening for remote connections, not for connecting to remote nodes.
Instead you should use that remote node directly in the tool you want to use, example: monero-wallet-cli --daemon-address <ip of a remote node>:<port>.
Or add a remote node through GUI in monero-wallet-gui

>This is not to imply that a "HODL forever" mentality is healthy, it is the opposite.
However, savings or holding IS an important part of economic activity. People will not always instantly spend their monerujo or use Monero as a simple laundry service. That is the entire point of parallel markets and circular economies, to increase the time people are holding Monero for. And the more Monero is held for, the higher the chance of a coincidence of wants enabling it to be a better medium of exchange. That is the regression theorem in action.
I'm not contesting the opposition to the BTC "HODL until sell at higher price", I'm contesting that holding is inherently a bad thing and you have to immediately use your coins.

>tech is ALL that ultimately matters
But why contest price discussion? Price is an exchange ratio dependent on the supply and demand. You can clearly study it and take profit from the eventual collapse of such schemes of price manipulation. There is no shame in forecasting market phenomena and making money out of it. I understand that TA might leave a bitter taste in anyone's mind, but price discussion can be done in a good manner and "prohibiting" it won't make any difference to the thread, only discourage people in good faith from doing it. We had price discussion before and we can have it again.

I think saving/low time preference is an activity worth discussing given it is necessary for long-term economic growth, whereas currency devaluation isn't a sustainable growth engine.
Most people don't have much risk tolerance or financial literacy, they just want save in cash or equivalents (GICs, government bonds, or whatever else is perceived as the most boring).
Fortunately, the Monero's bear-market (true) value has risen against the "official" CPI numbers, though I'd have to check against the actual (shadowstats) values. Ease of access and increased perception as a "boring" savings vehicle would still need work though. Also a reduction in volatility, though this has been approaching Bitcoin's levels.

I mean there's no real way to tell, but being extremely conservative I'd wager any given day could see middle 5 figures to lower 6 figures.

We can count # of txs and make some assumptions about how much of that transaction volume is darknet-related and then even more assumptions about the average value of a dark net transaction but that's about as close as we can get without turning it into a huge project

As XMR keeps taking market share from BTC, more and more.

[Anonymous No.55931145]

>>55920554
Yes, the ideal scenario for any cryptocurrency is long term non-investorial holding, that is why I think Monero's increasing involvement in black and grey matter activities is a tremendous bonus when compared to other alts or bitcoin. Parallel and circular economies mean a passive acceptance of the use of the currency in question. This not only creates demand, but also starts stabilizing prices as goods and services will start to be priced in terms of XMR rather than USD and use XMR for the payment. The empirical rise of the base price is unsurprising, but there aren't many years of DNM usage so there are basically 2 data points that we are looking at. Promising nonetheless since the shadow CPI is actually higher (also CPI is not the most accurate method of measuring inflation, I wonder what does XMR's price look like compared to something like the NDQ or the M1/2)

The github is slow, you can join the IRC/matrix directly and just listen around, or there is https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lab which should be mostly live.

You can invest in currencies. Most of the more succesfull currencies are so because of offshare and illegal markets. The money gets invested mostly in currency, real estate, bullion, horses, art etc.
>British pounds > offshore british empire
>Swiss Francs > Swiss franc banking secrets

No need to sugarcoat anything. The most succesfull currencies are because of a stable underground/illegal market.
Money laundering, terrorist financing, narcotics, wars, (tax evasion). If it was just about transactions and volume then I'm pretty sure something like a Rupee would be tremendously valueable because of the amount of times it gets transacted in a day.
Rupee is not valueable because they're not catering to the right markets. Offshore market wealth is bigger than the entire worlds GDP.

Legalization in 99% of the cases will come with some extra cost, whether that be going to dedicated licensed shops, to extra taxes, or registrations needed. This is why in some places, people still buy drugs illegally even after legalization. It can be cheaper both money and subjective value wise (people value privacy, discretion, etc). Also see (>>55925981), the demand for XMR is not only DNMs, mostly undocumented grey market activities have started to adopt it as well. The "problem" with Monero is that you cannot really measure it like you can with Bitcoin or Litecoin.
>>55930630
Going by the last ChainAnal reports before XMR really took a dent in the market share, I would give a band of 0.5-5 billion USD/year for revenue only. From 2020 to 2021, reported DNM revenue grew from 2.1 billion to 3.1 billion and then growth "stopped" meaning ChainAnal can no longer track it. Ctrl+F and of their reports and their mentions of Monero asides from the the tangential
>we also saw a rise of markets using XMR
They don't know anything about XMR usage, which is becoming increasingly prevalent, so the best we have is to predict based on the trends in previous, now traceable, usage
Tho the whole Dread DDoS fiasco and possibly the bear market likely left a dent in the total volume.

So Tail emissions will benefit the actual use-case of the coin, which by all means is a good thing, but as for a long-term investment it's not a good option.

Because the rate Monero was going in 2021 was different to how it is now. Now it's been delisted and liquidity is exiting faster than it's been going in for the past 2 years which is not alike other crypto over the past year.

I call bullshit. Tail emissions aren't just for the miners. They're also good for keeping the total supply stable as coins are lost to wallets the owner lost access to.
