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…

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…

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…

The arcade gets stronger with each new arrival. But what if it had to last the server? Yes. Stasher is a game about creating a community with no bank, no landlord, and no timezone. It's built on Monero because we want the ability to control our own value, to be censorship resistant and self…

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…

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…

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…

Signing Monero transactions offline isn't easy to begin with, and even the official method is complex and risky enough that it's not really recommended. But there's another thing about the official flow that's bothered me for a while: it doesn't actually build the transaction offline. The transfer…

The Depoliticization of Law John Hasnas Advocates of the privatization of law often assume that unless law springs from some act of agreement, some express or implicit social contract by which individuals consent to be bound, it is nothing more than force. In this Article, I argue that this is a…

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…

The list was too long to fit inside a comment in the original post , so I had to create a new post here.
