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…

The fourth weekly rewards distribution cycle is complete and Stasher News launched one month ago (28 days ago to be exact, but hey, some months have 28 days). Notably, there have been over 485 tip transactions and almost one whole XMR has been tipped peer to peer (0.94 XMR tipped to be exact).…

Our very generous anon donor has sent us additional donations and overpaid posting fees (split between rewards and ops). First of all thank you, mysterious Stasher supporter!

A cap on the weekly rewards is currently in place at 0.6 XMR per week, giving stasher news curators 10 weeks of guaranteed high weekly rewards at the current reward pool levels. It was a bit of a rush to get this implemented safely ahead of the next distribution in 2 days. I chose 0.6 as a…

The notification icon across social media is the famed bell 🔔 "ring the bell" has even become an annoying platitude on YouTube to garner followers. Have you ever wondered why? Why would the world's #1 social engineers design all their websites with a bell as the notification icon? I posit that it…

You wake up and: PHP has two critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2. Exploitation started before the fix was published, and older versions (PHP 8.1 and below) have no official patch.…

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…

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…

Hey everyone, John here. For the past week I've been helping Doug (Sunita) book guests for Monero Talk and Monerotopia — the longest-running Monero podcast, on air since 2017. I've booked almost half a dozen guests across the next four weeks so far. What I've learned: the Monero ecosystem is way…

It would be based on…

Lets say you know there will be another global covid like event with similar global response and tactics as the first one (social distancing, masks, travel restrictions, experimental vaccines to be able to work/travel/buy food, etc) and it would take place in exactly one year from today. What, if…
