Thanks for the correction, I understand what you mean. By the way, I’ve already built the first post in exactly the format you describe: I go through where a payment actually leaks, one step at a time. The exchange, the swap service, the remote node that can see your IP, timing analysis... At every step I stop and ask “who sees what here?” and I’ve supported the explanations with visuals as much as I could.
The experiment-style posts I mentioned will always stay tied to Monero and won’t drift from the main framework. And don’t worry, I won’t write them as dry tutorials: I won’t skip the goal of each step, the reasons behind it, or what it’s for. I’ll also track how long the experiment stays valid and share updates on its current status.
Thanks for reading that thread, and for trying to put something on the site that people would come back to. One line of mine got read a bit sideways, and I want to straighten it before a series gets built on it.
The bookmark part is right. I said feed two rooms until they are why someone saves the site, ~monero and one practical one, and I named mining because a clean writeup is hard to find and the useful answer keeps changing. That was a reason to keep a room alive, not a request for weekly classic guides.
On whether those guides are needed, I land where you already hesitated. I don't think they are, not for people who already hold Monero. Node setup, mining 101, and a full walk through a transaction are written elsewhere, and a copy that isn't rechecked just goes stale. The part of the template worth keeping is the last-verified date and the sources, which is rarer than another explainer.
Who sees what on an ordinary payment could still be worth writing, if it names where the payment actually leaks, the exchange that sold the coins, the remote node that saw the IP, the timing, instead of the pamphlet that says the ledger is private. The hands-on experiment is more interesting than the classic guides, but one run is a story, and I would rather read what happened and how long it lasted than a step-by-step people can already find.
A lot of the comments are already wider than the coin, private life in general, and that is a different project than the two rooms I meant. I would keep this one on Monero, and on what is true this month. If nobody is asking for the guides, spending the time elsewhere is the right call.
