We all know the idea of separating money from the state. The Myth of the Rule of Law by John Hasnas was the first time I saw someone try the harder cut IRL (non-fiction): separating law / lawmaking from the state. (The real first time I ran into the idea was in Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh…

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…

First week of sn and here are some things I learned. I noticed myself spending more and more time on stasher.news lately, as this is one of the most refreshing sites I have found, and I would like to share what I have learned after hanging around for a while - sharing is caring. Starting with The…

First published July 5, 2018 Came across this essay on the internets, hope it educates you the reader as much as it educated me. I admit I used to believe in Bitcoin. I was one of its most naïve and vehement apologists to friends, family members, and complete strangers (online). This was all before…

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…

Tracking remains one of the most obvious pain points for privacy-conscious people in today’s surveillance economy, and it shows up clearly in XmrBazaar’s data. The majority of listings in the top four categories (Sell product: other , Sell service: assistance , Sell service: proxy merchants , and…

The Shadow Superpower Forget China: the $10 trillion global black market is the world's fastest growing economy -- and its future. By Robert Neuwirth October 28, 2011, 9:16 PM With only a mobile phone and a promise of money from…

In my quest to investigate the rising RAM and storage prices, as I am looking to upgrade my workstation and build a NAS with plenty of storage for backups and media, I've been researching, ironically with AI, the market prices, the current and forecasted trends, and the news surrounding these…

https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/recent_winners.html Won't show which one is my addy but somewhere in here is my address and last night I scored the Bonus raffle win. It's always great to wake up and check your wallet and have a few extra payouts! This one has been in the works for a long time as I…

I really want to get a device running PostMarketOS as my next device and after talking with Kimi K3 it appears there is no Monero wallet that is adapted to a linux mobile device. It gave a few possible options 1. Use existing Monero-GUI or feather and adapt it to work on a screen width of 360…

Homestead is the house app I use on my small CPU fleet and media ops. One screen for every machine: temps, threads, which room, live rules. I can change threads on the fly without SSHing into each box. It's pretty slick as it's been coming along. I just started designing a new card in Omarchy the…

Good afternoon, I wanted to share with you guys my little project. A year ago I have decided to take back control my health and started working out at home. Started free body weight and then increased with dumbbells. I had subscriptions to Jefit and tried different apps but realized that these…

Interesting find from my implementation of the Monero Inflation Checker (MIC). Some actor was sending coins to invalid stealth addresses. It seems unlikely this was searching for an exploit... But then it continues for three years, so seems unlikely it's just an undiscovered bug too. Heres a…

We all love freedom, yet we don’t always want it for others — and we rarely stop to think about that. We probably should.
