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…

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…
is there actually a point to learning new things right now? taking a gap year because i have no idea what to learn, or if it will even matter by the time i am done. feels like studying for a world that is already gone. dad was a programmer and did startups. i liked coding in school and thought that…
Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir (sometimes called a semi-autobiographical or “documentary” account) based on Orwell’s real experiences in the late 1920s. He worked as a plongeur (dishwasher) in Paris hotel kitchens and later lived as a tramp in London lodging houses and casual wards.…
The Shirky Principle: Institutions Try to Preserve the Problem to Which They Are the Solution The Shirky principle is the adage that “institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution”. More broadly, it can also be characterized as the adage that “every entity tends to…
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…
There’s a rounded value heuristic (often discussed in Bitcoin privacy) which is inherited by any public chain, including non-shielded Zcash. This isn’t the case when values are hidden, especially for Monero and any shielded Zcash (or future shielded Bitcoin). A pool boundary… twitter.com/yfarmx/status/2109671242458358176

If you haven't read this, I would advise you do so. A great piece on a large amount of books that are actually banned, why they are banned, and a little about them. These books aren't banned the way the "banned books" section is at a Barnes and Noble, they're banned in the way that you can only…
Thanks @Aillia for creating this space. It's great to have a ~Library and share common reads, make commentaries and learn together. Here I want to share a book that came up recently in https://stasher.news/items/339194/r/artemis and I read some time ago: Stealth of Nations by Robert Neuwirth an…
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…
Some books you read. Others rearrange the furniture in your head. Mine: the Bible, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, Human Action by Mises, The Bitcoin Standard, and Zero to Monero. Each one broke something I thought I knew — about money, morality, or how people actually work. What's…
I see a lot of listings come and go on XMR marketplaces (xmrbazaar.com, former moneromarket.io, forum posts, etc), a good chunk of them absolutely suck and are very undesirable-looking. Here are some basic tips on how to increase your chances of getting customers. 1. Include a picture in your…

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…
finished this book. here are my fav quotes and ideas: The lesson The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.
