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!

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.

This website has the highest hash rates from different CPUs. Keep in mind that realistically you will not be able to reach these bench marks because they take a lot of fine tuning.
Monero uses random x which is for cpu mining. If you have a GPU you can use a pool like Monero ocean and mine with a gpu and then autoswap into XMR. Im not sure if this is still that profitable but this is something you can look I to.
If you are buying brand new hardware, do not expect to make that much profit. Monero is not profitable to mine (at least currently...) and you will be losing value in the short term. If you already have a built system though you can get comfy passive income and use your miner as a heating source in your room.

If you want a private smart contact solution as DEX, the only one that comes to mind is SCRT. Its within the consmos system, has a monero bridge to wrap XMR, so you can buy and lend XMR, and has a unique tocenomic approach to privacy in that its smart contracts are private by default, while its native transacting token is not by default. Its kind of fake privacy and POS, but as FAR as private smart contracts go. This is teh best solution atm imho.

2. Bitcoin’s inception was fairer than Monero’s. Almost a third of Monero’s supply was mined within the first year. This L-shape of the supply curve is similar to a lot of scam tokens. I’m not saying Monero is a scam by all means, but Monero’s beginning greatly benefited whoever was in the know. It’s exactly what Charlie Lee did by bringing Litecoin. Too late to mine Bitcoin? No problem, gonna copy the base protocol and tweak some parameters while I tell my family and friends to get ready to mine at time=0. Then he proceeded (along with his buddies) to dump the top in 2017. I feel that this is precisely why Monero was brought to existence. People were late to mine Bitcoin or wanted to make an extra buck, so they capitalized on some texts that Satoshi wrote on bitcointalk to design Monero. In any case, Monero doesn’t innovate that much over Bitcoin.

3. Monero can’t scale. It will need to implement Lightning channels too. If block size increases to accommodate significant adoption, then no one will be able to run a node.

>Bitcoin’s inception was fairer than Monero’s.
1 million + BTC is held by some British dude. Also not to mention that the miners back then straight up dumped the tokens due to the race to ASICs that we underwent several times.
>It’s exactly what Charlie Lee did by bringing Litecoin
Monero is built on the Bytecoin family, no relationship with Bitcoin's codebase whatsoever. It literally uses a different EC.
>In any case, Monero doesn’t innovate that much over Bitcoin.
ringCT, MLSAG, CLSAG, Seraphis, smooth emission curve, ASIC resistance, better scripting, no likability of transactions, better consensus, less hard-coded constants, better scaling, an actually designed fee market, Bulletproofs, Dandelion++. And I could go on for quite a while. But it's quite clear that you don't have that much technical knowledge about cryptocurrencies, or technical knowledge in general.

Since the cost to entry is 0 (everyone has some CPU) then buying a machine just to mine won't make financial sense.
It's based on some economic theory or something.
Earning few cent more than the electricity should be good enough.
Whether it's currently true with electricity prices skyrocketing and bearmarket happening(also xmr being historically poor price performer) is another story.

>Can someone explain the "monero can't scale"
In 2017 there was a war in Bitcoin between "big blockers" and "small blockers" over raising the 1 MB blocksize cap or not. The small blockers won and now have to push a narrative where reality doesn't exist and ignore that storage costs go down while SSD write speeds and bandwidth continually goes up.

The external world improving is the actual scaling solution, but beyond that Monero has improved a lot in getting bytes/tx down a lot. And things like Seraphis should improve it even more. Now to be clear, we're still lightyears away for ANY coin doing anything remotely to the level of Visa or Mastercard, but it's not unreasonable that within a decade you could 10x the capacity for retail PCs to be able to realistically run their own node (regardless of coin). And that's not counting technological improvements on the coin's side.

>> No.52647175

>>52646613
If mining doesn't bring any profit at all it means your electricity cost is high ($/kWh) or your CPU is old (Hash/W). Simple as that really. After much calculation you will realize Monero pretty much costs as much as it costs to mine and vice versa, because you can eliminate entry cost and consider everyone's equipment as already bought for the sake of simplifying the math. Coin price is same for everyone, CPU price is largely same for everyone, your only variable of profitability becomes relative cost of electricity, and I guess how much of a gamer you are to already have a good CPU.
>it always comes down to it only being an extra while running the rig for storage or server purposes

This is gonna sound like a cop-out, but Monero isn't DESIGNED to scale. Hear me out.

Scaling is what you need to do when you need to serve the broad market all the time, and the only real way to do that is build a conventional payment processor. If I need to have my transaction cleared NOW, I need a company to run a giant server farm with people on call and I need them to issue me a card and keep the merchant's equipment up to date and handle international money transfers and deal with wire transfer laws for me and I need their software to confirm my payment in 2 seconds, which needs devs and equipment, etc. That's a hard job. You pay for that job with, among other things, your privacy. You cannot have global-scale instant transactions without centralized entities.

>inb4 proof of stake
Proof of stake works by having people set up centralized payment processors and agreeing to use ETH as a technical standard for interoperability; it's essentially a community-hosted SWIFT system. Very cool? Yes. Good for privacy? Absolutely not.

Monero is NOT designed for this. In a tradeoff between privacy and efficiency, Monero will pick privacy. That means you need large-scale distribution. That means no server farms. No on-call engineers. The entire network has to be host-able by nerds running spare PC's in their basements and the code is maintained by a bunch of anons on the darknet. This is not a network that will ever have the throughput of Visa and everyone knows it. But that doesn't matter because the global "illegal things" market is ALWAYS going to be smaller than the "legal things" market, and that's what Monero is for.

Monero needs to just scale ENOUGH that my transfer clears in around a minute 99.999% of the time and lets me try again no-foul in the rare case it fails. It needs to be reliable enough for political dissidents, drug dealers, hackers, terrorists, whistleblowers, and the like. And THAT'S more than feasible; we're already doing it.

>Monero doesn’t innovate that much over Bitcoin
This would be true if Bitcoin wasn't mismanaged by a corrupt oligopoly of hardware owners who have deliberately mismanaged the software so badly that it barely works without what are essentially third party shivs at this point and any attempt at fixing this problem wasn't parlayed into an internecine fork-o-rama by a bunch of degenerate shitcoin gamblers who wanted to keep the system fragmented.

Nothing is technically stopping Bitcoin from implementing all of Monero's features. The only obstacle is institutional shareholders in the network that would rather Bitcoin be speculative than useful. This is why the closest you've gotten is Lightning (basically a gift to miners) and Taproot (a good idea that was ultimately implemented as "someone please build plugins for bitcoin pretty please look it's kinda like an API")

Basically, 2022's premium consumer parts setup is 2025's upper mid range consumer parts setup. If everything except the GPU pays for itself over a period of a few years, I have a very nice gaming rig (or media server or whatever) for just the cost of the extra parts. YES my model is assuming prices rise over time, but it only needs to hit a price point we've seen several times before in a fairly generous period of 3 years (~1 year down so far). Anything past that is also paying for the additional parts.

Also I went overboard on cooling so after that period of mining they'd probably be fine to resell, too.

You can easily profit from making machines mine monero but you probably cannot live on that income and probably can't just run xmrig and have it be profitable immediately (power/hardware costs)

This should incentivize you to get creative, perhaps try and EARN Monero by selling a product or offering a service on moneromarket.io . If you're just speculating, you should consider what the future value of Monero you mine today may be.

I am rich, fat, and diabetic and into luring in the sugar babies from Seeking.com, especially girls who are new to the game or desperate. They are often grad students or single moms.

Within an hour of meeting, I can tell that my backwards opinions and autistic jokes gross them out way more than my trollish looks. I have said racist shit to their faces and left the bathroom door open so they can smell my farts after dinner.

Guess how many of these girls have ever checked out before they suck dick?

Not one.

Most of them have never had a $300 dinner or a chance to stay in a hotel resort where literal celebs have drinks. They fucking FREAK like you're money Jesus if you take them shopping to pick up some shoes or a luxury bag or throw them a tuition payment that might be a day's earnings in my case.

I have made them work for every penny. Most of them know how my asshole tastes and have watched me check my blood sugar three times by the end of the night. A few lucky ladies get to lick a drop of blood off my fingertip. I openly ignore then when they main about condoms, too, and not one has ever stopped me going raw.

I always build up their hopes for an ongoing "Arrangement" but I am done after three meets and onto the next girl.

The few times I tried keeping the same babies for more than five months, they literally begged me to stop paying them and enter a relationship.

These women who wouldn't give a dude like me a kind glance if I wasn't loaded actually fell in love with my fat, egocentric, diseased albino rat ass.

They all cried hysterically when I told them it was over and I fucking laughed like an insane person as soon as I they were gone.

If anyone in here has made some cool 3D printable files, music, ebooks, whatever, you can now list it for free and with zero commission over at monerosupplies.
The UX is "alright" but since I have no clue why it still wants shipping information even if everything is tagged as virtual (probably because of the monero payment gateway desu), people have to fill in some junk at checkout. I guess at least it keeps the lowest level of bots away.

If you're on desktop, i2psnark is pretty straight forward. Go to your router console (127.0.0.1:7657/home iirc) and find the button for it. Once you're there, click "add torrent" and paste the magnet link

That's pretty much it for the basics lel.
http://tracker2.postman.i2p is the big tracker.
You can lower to 1 hops in i2psnark settings if you're not downloading anything too sensitive. Should improve performance. 2 or 3 as tunnel quantity is fine.

To browse I2P sites I create a new Firefox profile with "firefox --ProfileManager" and configure like so:
# Settings
HTTP proxy 127.0.0.1:4444
HTTPS proxy 127.0.0.1:4445
Enable dark theme to distinguish from clearnet browser.
Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode.

# about:config
# Prevent WebRTC IP address leak.
media.peerconnection.ice.proxy_only true
# Make it not search those but load the address.
browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.i2p true

# Show whole URL.

# Don't gray out parts of URL.

He said it, he said the word! He's in for the tech guys.

Yet another "tech" "utility" "project" that does X but shittier and pays its token for nodes mining it. Miners jump on board and even start to cheat. Banning cheaters makes it worse and makes it centralized. Then when the user demand doesn't show up, the whole thing inevitably collapses. Like Helium.

The whole thing can be done with self hosted or regular crypto-paid servers storing and exchanging PGP messages. Users are identified with a PGP key, server can trustlessly store and forward encrypted and signed messages. That means you are not bound to a single server like email. Your address can include your home servers, or you can push a signed message to server indicating your server, so this gets added to a directory of users. Hell, you can simply just register a domain and point it to whatever server you're using. They should work with ENS too. Boom! Here you go, I designed a better system in 2 minutes.

Funnily enough, name system is like the 2nd best use case for blockchain after money, so you could shove it into server address resolution part. I could see it work there, still 100x less retarded then 99% of blockchain projects. However the way I would design the architecture, is to not trust any particular bit of infrastructure. So you don't have to use DNS if you can find the server another way. Oh and a BitTorrent style DHT might work maybe, but I wouldn't trust that either to be the one solution.

So yeah, basically still
2AD83B0162D348F1D5170A0796F2681683C449A0@faggot.fag@darkshit.onion@realshit.i2p
If one server is dead, the client looks for a special signed address message with updated addresses. Multiple servers make it easy with redundancy. If all are dead then it's lookup on DNS, directory server, blockchain, DHT, asking in person, whatever. The messages are signed, the medium doesn't matter.

Oh and to prevent flooding, each key and message will have a certain proof of work associated with it. For keys, they should be high as a number, about 30 secs of compute worth. For messages, a nonce field to make the message hashes high, about 5 secs of compute. Then if you're getting flooded you can sort and filter by PoW. Your added frens can be excepted of course. If you're going to be talking with some stranger, getting his address in advance will be a good idea so you can white list them too so it doesn't fall into spam folder.

Oh and to make a big open mailing list / forum, it's just unencrypted signed messages. To make a small private one, it's signed messages encrypted to all recipients as GPG does it. Forum is owned by a key. He can delegate by adding or revoking by a special message.

That's 10 more minutes design time.

>Areas where Monero wins
>1)Monero is untraceable. Sources demonstrate flow of payments in Mimblewimble could be 95%+ traceable.
>2)LTC Mimblewimble is opt-in, making private transactions stand out. Think ZEC.
>3)Monero is substantially more private because the transaction-graph isn't traceable.
>4)No-one uses opt-in privacy coins currently.
>5)LTC MW may lead to Monero publicity as privacy is talked about
>6)LTC MW threatens BTC by raising fungibility & privacy concerns.
>7)Monero has additional beneficial features such as tail emission, random-x.

>Areas where LTC Mimblewimble could win
>1)MW might be considered enough privacy for the mainstream masses.
>2)LTC has much greater liquidity (availability on exchanges)
>3)MW might be enough to add some fungibility to LTC.
>4)LTC could be resistant to exchange bans because of opt-in privacy status.
>5)LTC MW might be enough privacy to be accepted on DNMs. After all BTC is still widely used there.
>6)MW might be enough to break some blockchain surveillance.
>7)MW adds scalability improvements to LTC
>8)LTC doesn't have the negative public image with criminal usage. (lol who gives a shit redditor)

Monero Milkshake Theory explained first by explaining Dollar Milkshake Theory:

>US dollar is the world reserve currency, foreign central banks keep balances of it for it's perceived stability relative to other currencies
>global debts and trade agreements are disproportionately denominated in US dollars regardless of the countries involved for the same reason
>USD can and has existed in tandem and relative "peace" in terms of exchange rates with other fiat currencies because the interest rates for bonds between different currencies has remained sufficiently stable, and the US treasury has kept US bond interest rates at reasonable levels for many decades
>this has allowed an extremely fragile, "top heavy" international trade and debt system based on USD to grow as mentioned above
>it is fragile and top heavy because no one ever asks "well so then what happens if the US dollar diverges significantly from other fiat currencies in terms of perceived safety, bond yields vs. competing currencies, and liquidity on bond markets?" i.e. like in a situation where there was great economic stress test caused by uncontrolled inflation, a severe global recession, etc.
>Dollar Milkshake Theory posits that if a sufficient "stress test" scenario broke out that caused the US government to massively increase interest rates and bond yields to (say) curb runaway inflation and protect the perceived safety of the US dollar, you would create massive demand for US dollars/bonds while local fiat currencies/bonds (e.g. Japanese Yen, Pesos, Ruble, Euro, etc.) were dumped en masse to in turn buy USD.

>because this stress test created substantial buy pressure for USD and the value starts to rise, people/governments/corporations begin thinking "wait a minute, I have a bunch of debt denominated in USD" and you end up with a positive feedback loop, rush-for-the-exits scenario where people start trying to desperately dump their own fiat currencies/bonds to buy up as much USD as they can while it's "cheap" so they can service said debts (instead of waiting for USD to go even higher and it becomes even more expensive to service those debts if they wait)
>this positive feedback loop of people dumping their own currencies to buy USD, pushing the USD higher, and in turn starting the pattern over again repeatedly, likely ends with the USD sucking all the liquidity and value out of every other fiat currency in the world before the US dollar itself dies as a result of the repercussions of this scenario being a severe, global economic depression

>> No.52695508

>>52695466
>as the above mentioned rush into US dollars isn't based on love but out of a panicked defensive action (and the US dollar dies in the end anyway), you're also going to have a pivot in global trade agreements away from the "dude trust me bro" standards of fiat and towards "hard" commodity money that is based on tangible production costs, known supplies, etc.
>as "bad money tends to drive out good money" from the daily-spending economy, whatever the "goodest" monies are will likely take over the role of reserve currency, safe haven, settlement layer for international trade, etc. in the global economy to replace the vacuum left by USD
>for reasons I don't need to tell Monero people, this is extremely good for gold, silver, Bitcoin and Monero as they're the hardest forms of money in existence and could realistically form the backbone of the world economy in the wake of all of the above
>since Monero out of the above four is the only one really useful as an actual currency, in particular the "trade agreement" function could be largely captured by Monero, and in particular for black/gray market deals (think: the entirety of the international drug trade, not just TOR darknet markets)
>all other forms of money previously used to facilitate drug deals (i.e. cash) are already considered trash and get dumped en masse by people who start buying up Monero to make sure they can pay for their deals cheaper now instead of waiting later and having the price go up

imo the game, at the higher lvls anyway, is basically go along to get along. but it doesnt work for everyone. there is clearly a growing divide amongst the wealthy and powerful. look at elon, trump, kanye, etc look at the sentiment surrounding them. there are more and more people listening to counter culture than continueing to digest modern narrative spin. i honestly dont know if it will matter short term, but long term, the trend is growing. the gov is currently turning on elon ie, biting a big hand that feeds. its already turned on trump and the political right in general. and kanye was basically just brought low for not conforming. it feels to me that its a matter of time before those and those like them or that ascribe to them, start seriously looking for alternatives. idk im rambling. it just feel obvious to me. not short term, but long term. writing on the wall and all that.

Fuckhead, anybody actually capable of printing endless XMR will be dumping as much of it as possible on as many exchanges as possible before the bug is discovered and patched. This means multiple exchanges would be absolutely flush with excess XMR.

Yet the exact opposite is true, exchanges keep halting XMR withdrawals due to low supply. There's no inflation bug.
