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…
The notification icon across social media is the famed bell 🔔 "ring the bell" has even become an annoying platitude on YouTube to garner followers. Have you ever wondered why? Why would the world's #1 social engineers design all their websites with a bell as the notification icon? I posit that it…

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…
Skylight by MAGIC Grants is one of the very few wallets that run off Monero LWS, which kills the dreaded sync wait I hate so much. Brings us closer to a mobile XMR experience w/ the UX modern chains provide. Making a mobile device do the chain scan never made much architectural sense to begin w/.…
Being interested in geopolitics, theology, and social psychology, I often read extensively about these topics. Perhaps too much? Clearly, the situation looks quite bleak right now, it may always have been. Yet I used to think of it as "this too shall pass" or "tough times never last", though both…
Good morning stashers, we have a big juicy update today. Come on in, sit down, sip some coffee, have a smoke, eat a pancake. Here's whats new: Stasher News is now FOSS. The repo is public. Bug/Issue reports can now be opened directly at: https://github.com/stashernews/stasher-news/issues Reposts…
It's truly a miracle of this age that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can access and study hundreds of years of humanity's intellectual legacy, thanks to free culture projects such as Project Gutenberg. But I realised there's not enough information on this area of the Internet.…
For those who do not know: Nikolai was a true builder and one of the last genuine cypherpunks in crypto. He focused on elegant, permissionless, corruption-resistant systems rather than hype, profit, or personal branding. As one tribute put it, he spent his life crafting tools to realize a vision of…
today is Nikolai Mushegian's (@delete_shitcoin) 33rd birthday. here's to a genius who dared to see things for what they are and call them by their true names—and, most importantly, when he saw something wrong, he built the tools to make it right. Nikolai was a builder in the…
Filippo Valsorda (Go cryptography maintainer and age author) just updated the Cryptographic Right Answers for the post-quantum era. Basically: stop inventing your own protocols, hug the hybrids before the harvest-now-decrypt-later crowd cashes in, and that symmetric crypto is still mostly fine. A…
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…
A mining central processing unit (CPU) is a small heater that happens to hash. Watts are how fast electricity goes in. Almost every watt comes back out as heat. The fan does not destroy it. The fan moves it into the room. If the room is warm, the chip starts warmer too. Temperature is not the…
Everyone knows video is the media format of choice across the major social platforms. We live in an attention economy. I’m planning to scour the internet for Monero-related footage that can be turned into educational and awareness content. I’ve also started editing some of my own videos. I’m still…
Shoutout to @TheStoicCoiner for speaking about his thesis he calls 'The Monero Standard' at @AusCryptoCon in 2025. 🧡Here’s a short snippet from his presentation on why monero:native is so revolutionary:📹🔊👇
I'm considering using stasher as a home base for writing compelling articles. I have a lot of controversial views that you might observe via my bio or activity on the site so far. That being said, I want to start small. What is a good controversial topic that you might want discussed? I am a…
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…
Ruling groups maintain power via force, but long-run ideological support from the majority is essential: “Once a State has been established, the problem of the ruling group or ‘caste’ is how to maintain their rule. While force is their modus operandi, their basic and long-run problem is…

If you run any sort of infrastructure, website, self-hosted service, cloud service etc etc etc it might be a good idea to just have an agent run daily if not hourly scans for any security disclosures that affect those systems, and notify you immediately if any vulnerabilities relevant to you are…
Many creators are limited in reach because of a desire from social media corps and governments to control and censor messaging. Who would you recommend that people likely haven't heard of due to this effect? I enjoy mentaloutlaw, thehatedone, doingfedtime, and of course our own @xenumonero. I also…
Here I am, as promised ladies and gentlemen. I am going to spend some time figuring out how to use this place now.
One thing is clear: the golden age of decentralized Monero liquidity is upon us. The way it was supposed to be all along. Liquidity isn't about whether you can buy Monero. If every country on Earth banned Monero, and every exchange delisted it, anyone would still be able to trade Monero anywhere in…
Incoming Zcash/ZODL scandal: $589k frozen after Zcash swapped through Near Intents.
