/XMR/ Monero General

[Anonymous No.57906602]

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.

>START MINING IN P2POOL

>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 shut down/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. Once P2Pool reaches & maintains 51%+ of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.

Although many inexperienced miners think that bigger pools give better profits, this is absolutely NOT the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.


>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL FASTER & EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE GUPAX GUI. USES TRUSTED REMOTE NODES BY DEFAULT!!!!

1. Download the *bundled* version of Gupax for your OS here: https://gupax.io/downloads/
2. Extract somewhere (Desktop, Documents, etc)
3. Launch Gupax
4. Input your Monero address in the [P2Pool] tab. USE A SEPARATE MINING-ONLY WALLET!
5. Select a Community Monero Node that you trust, although you can and should run your own node if possible.
6. Start P2Pool
7. Start XMRig

You are now mining to your own instance of P2Pool, welcome to the world of decentralized peer-to-peer mining!

START RUNNING AN I2P NODE
>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE
START RUNNING AN I2P NODE
>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE


>What is I2P?

I2P is an anonymized P2P overlay network akin to the Tor network but with several key advantages over it. I2P is now replacing Tor as the go-to darknet and will play a pivotal role in growing the Monerocentric economy.


>Why should I care? Why should I run a node?

Increasing shadow economy adoption and the proliferation of an XMR-only standard are what guarantee that XMR will have a floor and won't also crash to zero when the Crypto Casino finally implodes. XMR's long-term outlook is therefore *strongly* correlated with the darknet, you may have already noticed how the number of TXs begins to drop whenever the glowies attack & cripple the Tor network, which underscores just how critical it is that the darknet wins this war against the State. Make no mistake: if the darknet is allowed to die XMR will take a devastating hit as well.

So by running an I2P node you are helping to make the network Monero thrives in that much more robust while also enraging glowies in the process. Win-win!


>OK, but how difficult is it? Do I have to store GBs worth of data like when running an XMR node?

It is literally as easy as installing an Android app and no, there are no storage requirements, the node only consumes some bandwidth.


>Cool, I'm sold. What do?

If you have no interest in browsing the darknet yourself then the simplest solution is to install & run the I2Pd Android app on any compatible (Android 4.1+) device, ideally a TV box since they don't require recharging and are permanently online. But any old phone or tablet is fine too. Make sure you activate "start on boot" in the settings.

Otherwise just install the appropriate desktop client and leave it running.

>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainable

Wash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013.

>Wash Trading 101
1. create/maintain the illusion of high volume
2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in
3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bag

When the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.

TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.


>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 BTC = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings BTC would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per BTC 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

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

Compared to previous years, there is already a noticeable lack of normie excitement over BTC hitting ATH, seems a critical mass of them are finally getting blackpilled on the fraudulent price action that maxipads foolishly believe will continue to sucker in the masses.

And once Tether is no longer able to prop BTC up, its all downhill from there. The only thing that could conceivably generate enough organic demand to save BTC is the establishment of a growing circular economy but that ship sailed years ago. This is what happens when you prioritize harebrained HODL narratives over actual use as a currency.

- He doesn't personally use BTC or XMR.
- Is okay with it but somewhat concerned about the energy usage.
- Not okay with BTC because it's transparent.
- Partially okay with XMR because it guarantees anonymity for the payee, which is something he deems very important, but enables tax evasion which he is against, since he seems to be a firm believer that taxes guarantee good living conditions for everyone else. As well, when he is talking about taxation, he is more so concerned about rich people not paying their taxes, mentioning that they can afford to do so even more than the regular person.
- View keys seem an interesting prospect to him as a way to do tax auditing.
- Before we can talk about money = speech and protecting the free use of money, we must first equalize the grounds between normal people and rich people because they hold too much influence, and this technology could enable them to do worse. Basically, providing "democratic tools" in a non-democracy does not transform it into a democracy.
- Money = power. If you're spending too much money, you should be regulated, because you can become a danger to democracy.

>>57909829
>-"For small amounts, it's probably harmless and good"
The issue with Monero is that if it exists at all, it enables any amount of tax evasion and any economic activity. It's not throttleable like transparent chains. And if you want it to not exist at all, that's at odds with the left-libertarian ideals of supporting freedom. Monero is just free software.

You have to increase them if you want a quicker validation. This is especially needed if the number of pending transactions doesn't fit in the next blocks. But miners can also increase the size of the blocks if they pay for any increase above the median size of the last X (100?, 200?) blocks by sacrificing a portion of the reward (new coins minted) in that block. You get the whole reward + fees if the block you mine is equal to the median size. You get ONLY the fees if you mine a block double the size of the median, no reward. For a block 50% bigger than the median you get 75% of the reward and all the fees. For 20% above the median you get 96% of the reward and all the fees. So as long as you, as a miner, can find enough txs to cover for that reward loss, it makes sense to increase the block size, causing the median to increase so later blocks can stay bigger without having the reward penalty. I think, this system, given enough transactions, stabilizes in such a block size that the fees equal the reward but I cannot find where I had seen this last claim.

The exchange knows about:

2) how much monero you bought on their platform and when
3) your name, email, phone, address, selfie pic
4) and to which off-the-exchange Monero address you have sent the XMR you bought from them

Apart from that, and once you get your KYC'ed moneros to your own wallet (feather wallet for instance) they lose the money trail, and cannot see what other funds you have in your own (feather) wallet.

>blocks by sacrificing a portion of the reward (new coins minted) in that block.
Does this cause a change in the Monero emission rate? I mean, if the protocol punishes a miner's big block by paying him 0.3 XMR (and not 0.6) for his block, then, this causes a change in the emission, right?

Only while the block size is getting increased. Once the median block size (of the last 100 or 200 blocks, can't remember exactly) reaches the required size, then the emission rate will be the regular one, it won't be penalized anymore.

But I'm thinking that my last phrase about where the system finds an equilibrium (fees=coinbase) might be wrong. I hope someone else can tell us what's the equilibrium point of this system if they remember.

It doesn't matter who is behind that. Anybody can do it. It's a very cheap attack. And there is no methods to stop such attack except for good old block limit. Block limit was introduced in BTC in the first place exactly to stop possibly spam attacks.

For now, number of transactions actually are fine, such levels can easily be achieved naturally. But an attacker (it can be a new attacker, some 3 letter agency, for example) can bloat transactions infinitely basically at no cost. So it will be not feasible for a ordinary man to run XMR node.

FIrst hand experience here. Mullvad is an excellent provider who accepts XMR, their desktop app works on ARM.
As someone else pointed out you can use mullvad browser (which I have not tested on ARM) to change the last jump, though that requires a subscription and active connection.
Using some browser-only activation is not recommended.
What you could however do is set up a different .desktop file that calls 'mullvad connect' before it spawns your browser and 'mullvad disconnect' after you close it, if you don't want it to be active all the time.

Doesn't add much because the point of failure remains the same: server seizure (not necessarily physical), whether aimed at you or another, compliance of the VPN etc. While you can argue that's unlikely to happen to two VPNs at once I can argue that the only one you'd try to hide from with a setup like that is CIA superhackers and they wont half-ass things
Additionally that's a lot of extra bullshit to correlate, fingerprint and go wrong.
>>57930250
Not something to recommend without research. There are methods to read out even encrypted traffic with enough detail to know beyond doubt you are connecting to TOR after your VPN, when the only information you'd be trying to hide with your setup is just that. There's a reasonable argument to be made that traffic identifiable as running through TOR and a VPN belongs to some extra paranoid individual, which can bring you on the radar if you werent before. Dale Gribble Effect.

Bottom line is TOR is the step up, ISP is going to know you are connecting to it anyway so just own it and don't make it worse by putting on a perforated condom.
No clue how I2P factors into this so check the post about it or do some research
VPN is for geoaccess, not trusting your ISP.
If you REALLY want to put in another degree of separation get a VPS owned by you.
I do however recommend you enable multihop in Mullvad, because that's a minimal way of adding multiple jurisdictions and physical locations between you and whoever casts a wide net

[Anonymous No.57931794]

Ok so if an attacker were to greatly increase the amount of tx in the blockchain, it would take some time for the blockchain to adjust block size. also once block size is adjusted, if the attacker stops the attack, the blockchain would adjust back to normal levels and so the attacker could start the spam again to cause intermittence in the tx time?

[Anonymous No.57932016]

>>57931950
You are right they do not, but anyone analyzing the traffic (ie ISP) will be able to determine you are using TOR despite the VPN, if they are motivated to check in the first place. If you assume they are not motivated to check you might as well just use TOR.
Of course, in your case, with everything already set up, there's nothing gained ditching the setup now if you didn't plan on redesigning it.
Still, the direction of thought is flawed for someone looking to set something up now, because there's little to be gained (ISP running a program vs ISP monitoring as-assumed)
Not too familiar with strictly local stuff as I never leave my tinfoil-clad house but I'd assume TOR and local-level stuff do not interact much so it doesn't factor in. Correct me if I am wrong.

[Anonymous No.57936651]

>>57936514
Tether is allowed to live by the US government and even works with them to freeze sanctioned wallets because Tether keeps buying US Treasuries and keeps increasing dollar-equivalents without the Fed creating more debt. It's basically a shadow CBDC running on an SEC-controlled PoS chain (Ethereum). That's the real reason the US allows Tether to print and BTC to pump; there isn't enough actual-dollar liquidity for whales to cash out so BTC+Tether are stranded assets unless you use them directly as currency or to feed a CEX fiat card... or unless the price of XMR gets bid up enough to provide exit liquidity to a private chain. The laser eye HODLtards and people who flee to Tether in downturns are BOTH being played for simps.

[Anonymous No.57936673]

USDC is a "real" stablecoin with actual reserves so its volumes are much smaller than Tether and thus it doesn't influence BTC price the way Tether does.

The standard Bitcuck response is either "cope" or "duh Tether Truther". Those who try a little more earnestly will invoke the BDO Italia attestation hoping you won't realize its not a proper audit and that Tether still hasn't proven it prints fully backed USDT.

Deep down I suspect many know Tether is shady as fuck and that BTC is a house of cards that will inevitably implode some day, they just expect/hope they'll have cashed out by the time that happens. Some folks just gotta learn the hard way.

Nobody would mind if Tether was printing USDT that was fully backed 1:1 with USD as its supposed to. Problem is they've already been caught lying about their reserves once before and continue to drag their feet on submitting to a thorough 3rd party audit, its basically a case of "yes, we were being deceptive before but you can totally trust us now, bro! Audit? Yeah, sure, whatever, we'll get back to you on that!"

For a more in-depth breakdown just read this: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2021/02/03/tether-printer-go-brrrrr/


>are you implying the demand is not legit?

What do you think? You have to be borderline brain damaged to not notice the continuing series of coincidences where Tether prints (unbacked) USDT and BTC magically pumps.

From the 2021 article:

>Man the printer!
>Tethers were printed at a furious rate all through 2020 — as USDT in circulation went from 4 billion to 20 billion between March and December.
>The printing picked up in December, when the Bitcoin price was pumped from $19,000 to an all-time peak of just over $41,000. The printer stopped for a bit in early January, then started up again just after 15 January.
>This looks very like printing fake dollars as fast as possible before an axe falls.


TL;DR: once Tether finally implodes, Bitcoin bagholders will find out just how much organic demand for their coins actually exists and reap the rewards.

Horseshit, there is actual academic research published in reputable journals supporting this conclusion:

>The Griffin-Shams study of the forces behind the 2017–18 Bitcoin bubble provides a guide to the strategies that could be pressing a thumb on the sales post-FTX. Griffin and Shams, now a professor at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business, first published their 118-page report in 2018, and it appeared two years later in the prestigious, peer-reviewed Journal of Finance.

>The pair saw a strong and questionable pattern in Bitcoin prices. Bitcoin had its biggest spikes when two things happened: Prices started dropping, and lot of Tether was being printed.

>Once the whale obtained the newly minted Tether, it traded the coins for big quantities of Bitcoin on Bittrex and Poloniex. Those large buys reversed the downward trend in Bitcoin and boosted its price well above its level before the dip began. “This player either showed clairvoyant market timing or exerted an extremely large effect on Bitcoin’s price,” states the study. Today, it’s clear that Tether wasn’t holding full reserves behind the coins in this Bitcoin boom period, so that “it’s almost mechanical that money from nowhere would boost the price,” notes Griffin.

>The lesson, he says, “is that the Bitcoin market remains highly vulnerable to manipulation.”

I disagree. While you can turn on the hidden mode, usually anonimity on I2P isn't from not knowing you're on I2P, it's from not knowing wtf you're doing on it and being way better than For at it.

You're connected at all times to 10s or even thousands of people if you have a really good connection. And they all know you're on the network with them. On Tor, you're only connecting to the entry/snowflake/bridge, only them know you're using Tor.

Bridges are unpublished entry points to the Tor network, unlike normal entrypoints.

Your ISP will always know that you are connecting to an IP. And if it is known that that IP is a Tor bridge then, your ISP wil l know you are using Tor. It makes it harder.
Snowflakes are kinda similar. Anyone can run one from their own browser and are ephemeral (and probably less reliable) unless some autist keeps their browser open, so I'd say it makes it also harder to detect.

However, as >>57939291 said, there's no bulletproof solution. Once it's known it's an entry point, it's known.

[Anonymous No.57939588]

>>57939343
Sadly doesn't matter. There are whitepapers on methods that can identify tor traffic with 80% certainty through encryption (like what a VPS/VPN tunnerl would provide).
Even methods of stuffing traffic with junk don't help much - how much certainty above the average do you need over a period of time to identify someone as a tor user?
Solution: either just own it (not a solution for chinafags) or keep pioneering i2p

Chinese deep package fuckery (very successful) is a good example of an implementation I guess. The real magic of tor isn't hiding that you use it but the still very solid blackbox it creates between in and out. Don't shit where you eat by doing anything connected to your physical location by a wide margin over tor and it wont matter much that your isp knows you use it even if you were to do something frowned upon in your jurisdiction like the rusbros upthread
