Hi, ek here! I used to work at Stacker News. I like what you created here! Forking a project with this ambition is a big compliment in my world. I'm curious about how you thought about sybil fees. I see you have chosen not to include them, so any tip goes 100% to the recipient. I know they suck,…
Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir (sometimes called a semi-autobiographical or “documentary” account) based on Orwell’s real experiences in the late 1920s. He worked as a plongeur (dishwasher) in Paris hotel kitchens and later lived as a tramp in London lodging houses and casual wards.…
I'm considering using stasher as a home base for writing compelling articles. I have a lot of controversial views that you might observe via my bio or activity on the site so far. That being said, I want to start small. What is a good controversial topic that you might want discussed? I am a…
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.…
A mining central processing unit (CPU) is a small heater that happens to hash. Watts are how fast electricity goes in. Almost every watt comes back out as heat. The fan does not destroy it. The fan moves it into the room. If the room is warm, the chip starts warmer too. Temperature is not the…
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…
There’s a rounded value heuristic (often discussed in Bitcoin privacy) which is inherited by any public chain, including non-shielded Zcash. This isn’t the case when values are hidden, especially for Monero and any shielded Zcash (or future shielded Bitcoin). A pool boundary… twitter.com/yfarmx/status/2109671242458358176
context: https://stasher.news/items/341118 I'm proposing the weekly rewards have a basis in activity, rather than an arbitrary number that will have to be tweaked again in the future, and drains the pool faster than is warranted for the current adoption levels of the platform. It would be based on…
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've been spending time on Stasher News and XMR Bazaar lately, and they're honestly the first places where Monero felt real to me — not just a coin to hold, but money you actually use. Tipping posts, buying things, no middlemen. But it got me wondering: these are still pretty niche corners of the…
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…

The concept of the panopticon, the way Michel Foucault put it, has always been interesting to me. COVID really brought it into a new light. These are just some of my thoughts around it, and I'm always curious what other people will say. It's an old prison idea, a ring of cells and a tower in the…

Doki Doki Literature Club is a very famous video game, and rightfully so. The game seems quite innocent on the surface--a group of kids and the generic self-insert dating sim protagonist. This changes very quickly as you play the game, however. To make a very long and disturbing story short, Monika…
For whatever reason when I got into Monero I set up annual wallets. Initially to avoid all my XMR being drained in 1 bad tx or a single wallet exploit. For each wallet (2017, 2018, 2019 etc) I have a coin tracker (currently livecoinwatch) and I just put all Monero bought in 2018 into a wallet then…
"Dread, one of the most prominent darknet forums, has been compromised, with those claiming responsibility now using one of the forum's well-known onion domains to promote a replacement project called Dread2. The group claims it gained access to the Dread project, including sensitive data and the…

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…
