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,…
The first weekly rewards distribution of Stasher News on Monero Mainnet has successfully completed, with one minor issue. The following users received rewards this week: stasher — 0.06724635184 XMR — SENT untraceable — 0.04541528936 XMR — SENT goliath — 0.011810804193 XMR — SENT samourai —…
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…
I've been building monostr for a few weeks: an Android Nostr client where the "zap" is a Monero tip. No Lightning, no custodian, no KYC wallet in the middle. How it works: you register your primary address and private view key with a watcher (the same trust model as stasher.news, which is where I…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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
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…
The Stasher News Referral System is a powerful tool to both increase adoption of Stasher News as well as give you more opportunities to earn a slice of the weekly rewards pie. How the system works: earn 10% of a stasher's rewards in perpetuity if they sign up from your referral links nearly all…
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…

Found a Turf These are the subdomains that drop down from the menu when you create a post. It costs Monero to establish a turf and there may be ongoing costs, but you would receive 100% of…
Good morning stashers, we have a big juicy update today. Come on in, sit down, sip some coffee, have a smoke, eat a pancake. Here's whats new: Stasher News is now FOSS. The repo is public. Bug/Issue reports can now be opened directly at: https://github.com/stashernews/stasher-news/issues Reposts…
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…
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…
Monero Weekly News - October 9–16, 2026 Monero Research Lab meeting - October 14, 2026 The Monero Research Lab met on Wednesday, October 14, chaired by Rucknium. On FCMP++, j-berman reported that the upstream integration PRs are ready for re-review after he addressed all LLM review comments, and he…
Hi While reading the discussion under Whats next at Stasher, what direction shall we move in? , I realized it was time to try something I've had on my mind for a while. One thing stood out in the comments: people want content that's worth reading and worth bookmarking and coming back to.…
Tracking remains one of the most obvious pain points for privacy-conscious people in today’s surveillance economy, and it shows up clearly in XmrBazaar’s data. The majority of listings in the top four categories (Sell product: other , Sell service: assistance , Sell service: proxy merchants , and…
Alright, so I tried out this vibecoding thing and I had the fun idea to launch a new blockchain with FCMP++ enabled at genesis, fully merge-mined with XMR - of course with P2Pool-compatibility. Syncing a stressnet node takes a while, so if you want to try out FCMP++ before its mainnet release, this…
