Hi, ek here! I used to work at Stacker News. I like what you created here! Forking a project with this ambition is a big compliment in my world. I'm curious about how you thought about sybil fees. I see you have chosen not to include them, so any tip goes 100% to the recipient. I know they suck,…

There is a a healthy size Monero community on Nostr that I'm sure some of you already know about and are a part of. A fairly new Discord-like alternative was created called Concord Protocol by JSKitty and Yuurin . Private, decentralized, and scalable Nostr communities. Something like that didn't…

Hi stashers. Solo dev from Switzerland here. Since February I run kashilo.com, a classifieds site (think Craigslist / Kleinanzeigen) built for people who want to buy and sell real goods with Monero and without handing over an identity. What it does today: No email, no phone, no name. Your account…

For people who already know what and why we need better OPSEC. We have been operating under an assumption that doxxing comes with high costs and requires intensive resources. And that deanonymisation is possible but expensive, that linking a forum account to a real identity takes a skilled…

In an effort to make Monero as private as it can be and return to its cypherpunk roots, today I am submitting Monero Improvement Proposal 1984 (MIP-1984) to add a transparent address type into the protocol. t-addresses in Monero will allow us to reveal our transaction data to the entire world,…

Looking for what Monero veterans actually use if it isn't a CEX. Just the methods people here consider the safest practical ways to turn some Bitcoin or cash into XMR. What works, and what would you avoid?

There's a current rule on XmrBazaar that allows legal or technical assistance, guidance, or consultancy services to help users set up accounts, e.g. platform, offshore bank, exchange, or similar accounts (with Liberation Travel cited as a legitimate example). It simultaneously prohibits identity…

Some of you might know me as Monero Master who developed the MCEP . I've been featured on Monero Talk with Douglas Tuman and was an early adopter of XMR Bazaar . My day job is as a professional digital marketer who manages large amounts of ad spend for some of the largest tabletop gaming brands in…

just read this and thought stashers might find it interesting too: Alright, I'd like to have a discussion regarding bitcoin's fungibility (or lack there of). I am a bitcoiner and have been for a decent number of years but I would ask that we leave our maxi hats at the door and look at this…

Monerowall is already a great feature, but would it be possible to add an optional checkbox (or similar) so authors can also put the comment section / discussion behind the same Monerowall? Use case: Publish a public puzzle/challenge so anyone can see the problem, while keeping replies, solutions,…

Obligatory Monero Turf post: How did you first learn about Monero? How did you start using it, and why Monero? What other essential privacy tech or practices do you employ in daily life? Obviously only share what you are comfortable sharing, and change all names, dates, locations, and events to…

I've been spending time on Stasher News and XMR Bazaar lately, and they're honestly the first places where Monero felt real to me — not just a coin to hold, but money you actually use. Tipping posts, buying things, no middlemen. But it got me wondering: these are still pretty niche corners of the…

Welcome to Stasher. With this post, I want to introduce you to the funniest game powered by Monero, a privacy coin you can earn and spend to create insightful posts and thoughtful comments. I discovered Monero a long time ago, forgot about it, and this game gave me an opportunity to dust off my…

Hi While reading the discussion under Whats next at Stasher, what direction shall we move in? , I realized it was time to try something I've had on my mind for a while. One thing stood out in the comments: people want content that's worth reading and worth bookmarking and coming back to.…

I've been building monostr for a few weeks: an Android Nostr client where the "zap" is a Monero tip. No Lightning, no custodian, no KYC wallet in the middle. How it works: you register your primary address and private view key with a watcher (the same trust model as stasher.news, which is where I…
