Obligatory Monero Turf post: How did you first learn about Monero? How did you start using it, and why Monero? What other essential privacy tech or practices do you employ in daily life? Obviously only share what you are comfortable sharing, and change all names, dates, locations, and events to…

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…

I've been moving around, and one of the issues I always found, whatever place I land, is ordering stuff and getting it delivered without disclosing personal information. I've seen this https://stasher.news/items/339626/r/artemis posted today, and it made me want to ask stashers if they have any…

I never think it’s a great idea to publicly proclaim you are withholding tax, or to publicly talk about organized withholding tax events like Jocko Willink and others are considering as a protest measure. That said withholding tax is a fast way to curb governments, cause reform and reshape the…

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…

This one is a sledgehammer: Rose does not argue that government is “too big” or “the wrong party is in charge”. He argues that authority itself is a superstition: the belief that some people have a moral right to rule others, and that the rest of us have a duty to obey. "The belief in “authority,”…

I'm not a big music person (by music I mean a subset of "sounds" set), but I love/can appreciate powerful lyrics. All of Tom MacDonald , yes. And also this one by Oliver Anthony. Oliver Anthony "Rich Men North Of Richmond" I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay…

This idea is voiced for a good while, like by Alaska Anon. This is the math: Get X € with 9,5% Interest over one year and invest it in Monero and or Gold Have higher returns. Do people have experience with this? What do you suggest? It seems 'risky', but also like a good bet. of course a buffer is…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I read this yesterday. Totally agree. None of the ideas were very radical or new to me. I've long held the view that nobody has authority over me. I am sovereign and I live as ungoverned as I am practically able. I don't vote and don't care about political parties. It's all nonsense. It's a good…

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…

The discourse surrounding "free speech", as framed by right-wing libertarians (such as anarcho-capitalists), leaves me discouraged. Looking around, I don't see First World states engaging in mass censorship of free speech. We certainly face serious, high-stakes issues regarding information share —…
