Skylight by MAGIC Grants is one of the very few wallets that run off Monero LWS, which kills the dreaded sync wait I hate so much. Brings us closer to a mobile XMR experience w/ the UX modern chains provide. Making a mobile device do the chain scan never made much architectural sense to begin w/.…
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
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 meaning to check this ever since I saw Spirobel's tweet last week. Browser wallets have been a routine part of other chains like Solana for a long time. They're pretty convenient. I think it's pretty neat: I just tried using it with Stasher: https://youtu.be/-xN-RzpOLww I know browser…
one benefit of building in the browser is that the instrumentation tools work very well. for example it is possible to slow down specific network requests with the old monero-wallet-rpc the issue was that the concurrency of the local http server was interleaved with the…
This is a practice network for a Monero upgrade called FCMP++ and Carrot. It is not mainnet. The coins on it are not your real coins. Your normal wallet stays where it is. A node is just the program that downloads the chain and talks to other computers. The test needs its own node. The one you…
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 Tech Meeting Summary — #183 (Aug 31) & #184 (Sep 7, 2026) Overview The Monero Tech meetings are weekly Monday gatherings chaired by rbrunner7 in the #no-wallet-left-behind channel (bridged IRC-Libera/Matrix). The project is currently in a heavy preparation phase for the v0.19 release, while…
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…
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…
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…
I'm not a big music person (by music I mean a subset of "sounds" set), but I love/can appreciate powerful lyrics. All of Tom MacDonald , yes. And also this one by Oliver Anthony. Oliver Anthony "Rich Men North Of Richmond" I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay…
\\Monero Privacy Mastery: The Complete Guide to Untraceable Transactions & True Financial Anonymity\\ In an era of increasing digital surveillance, financial privacy has become a rare and valuable commodity. Monero stands out as one of the few cryptocurrencies built from the ground up to deliver…
The phenomenon of the 'Streisand Effect' refers to any attempt to hide or censor information, with the unintended consequence that exactly this information will be spread wide and far. The term came into existence through Mike Masnick (CEO Techdirt) when he wrote an article in 2003 about an…
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…
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.…
just read this and thought stashers might find it interesting too: Alright, I'd like to have a discussion regarding bitcoin's fungibility (or lack there of). I am a bitcoiner and have been for a decent number of years but I would ask that we leave our maxi hats at the door and look at this…
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…
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…
This is a bit how I try to view Monero personally. People say they bought Monero with dollars, and I get why, because the button says Buy. You type a number, you press it, and it feels like paying for groceries. Look at what left your hands. The dollars left, and Monero showed up. You gave the…
The arcade gets stronger with each new arrival. But what if it had to last the server? Yes. Stasher is a game about creating a community with no bank, no landlord, and no timezone. It's built on Monero because we want the ability to control our own value, to be censorship resistant and self…
It's truly a miracle of this age that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can access and study hundreds of years of humanity's intellectual legacy, thanks to free culture projects such as Project Gutenberg. But I realised there's not enough information on this area of the Internet.…
