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…
One thing is clear: the golden age of decentralized Monero liquidity is upon us. The way it was supposed to be all along. Liquidity isn't about whether you can buy Monero. If every country on Earth banned Monero, and every exchange delisted it, anyone would still be able to trade Monero anywhere in…
Incoming Zcash/ZODL scandal: $589k frozen after Zcash swapped through Near Intents. The user had been ghosted for 50 days before getting a response a few days ago on the Zcash forum from ZODL, saying that they can't comment on the matter (attached). twitter.com/unstoppablebyhs/status/2098401182980931644

There's a current rule on XmrBazaar that allows legal or technical assistance, guidance, or consultancy services to help users set up accounts, e.g. platform, offshore bank, exchange, or similar accounts (with Liberation Travel cited as a legitimate example). It simultaneously prohibits identity…
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…
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. The bad economist…
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…
So I'm a pretty clean eater, I have my treats for sure but I do notice lots of similarties in how the food industry treats people the same as the financial sector. Lies, Lies and more lies then a little bit more lies. Now I am a nutritionist so I go down these rabbit holes a lot. Three is Dr.…
Software, protocol, hardware, browser extension, service model, anything. The bar is that it doesn’t really exist yet, or only exists in a form that fails the threat model. What problem are you still solving with duct tape? Useful answers look like: the concrete leak or friction, why current…
Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably…
A while back, Spirobel shared an article: Robust Monero Escrow with offline Arbitrators "With this library it is now possible to let arbitrators share their dkg public keys, similar to how people share their monero addresses and let them be included in the escrow wallets. The merchants define a…
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…
If someone is into monero what other lines of interest should they pursue? Like a Monero bro/broette is probably interested in: Sovereignty Agorism Cypherpunk / Solarpunk / Lunarpunk Dark Forrest Statism Superstition of Authority Consipracy Anarchism Cryptography Gold/Silver/Goldbacks Tech/Infra…
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,…
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…

Monerowall is already a great feature, but would it be possible to add an optional checkbox (or similar) so authors can also put the comment section / discussion behind the same Monerowall? Use case: Publish a public puzzle/challenge so anyone can see the problem, while keeping replies, solutions,…
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…
