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,…

Alright, so I tried out this vibecoding thing and I had the fun idea to launch a new blockchain with FCMP++ enabled at genesis, fully merge-mined with XMR - of course with P2Pool-compatibility. Syncing a stressnet node takes a while, so if you want to try out FCMP++ before its mainnet release, this…
Since 1971 the paper currencies have all been losing what they can buy, and the measure is annual consumer prices, with the early years estimated. The Swiss franc did the least bad and it is still down about 66%, the yen is down about 71%, and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are both down…

I think many of us use LLMs for work. But I cannot help the instinctive distrust when I see a vibe-coded project. Especially if it is new and not by someone I already know and trust. Before, a non-professional project was obvious. Now the more polished it looks the less I trust it. The practical…
Tor VPN Beta extends Tor's protection on Android beyond the browser by routing app traffic through the Tor network using per-app isolated circuits. The Tor Project announced a wider rollout of the app yesterday, September 9. Unlike a conventional VPN, which typically sends all traffic through 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…

You wake up and: PHP has two critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2. Exploitation started before the fix was published, and older versions (PHP 8.1 and below) have no official patch.…
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,…

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…
Looking to start doing some writing in a private way. I like substack, but they seem to be shoving more and more people into their app. They are proprietary, they are centralized, and they'll probably do the thing that happens with every "free speech platform" which is bait all the interesting…
