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,…
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…
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…
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
We all know the idea of separating money from the state. The Myth of the Rule of Law by John Hasnas was the first time I saw someone try the harder cut IRL (non-fiction): separating law / lawmaking from the state. (The real first time I ran into the idea was in Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh…
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…
finished this book. here are my fav quotes and ideas: The lesson The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups. The bad economist…
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…
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,…
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.…
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.…
just listened to The Sovereign Individual (audiobook, because i am NOT a book person and adhd makes sitting still with pages feel impossible). still hit me harder than almost anything. the whole idea of actually finding sovereignty and freedom while this world keeps turning into a totalitarian…
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…
is there actually a point to learning new things right now? taking a gap year because i have no idea what to learn, or if it will even matter by the time i am done. feels like studying for a world that is already gone. dad was a programmer and did startups. i liked coding in school and thought that…
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…
niggas we need that browser wallet. site be clunky. and the friction of 10 block locks and phone shit is gai. we need a browser wallet with built in pocketchange to make making posts less gai and frictionless.. fuk spelling and grammar suck it.
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…
If you haven't read this, I would advise you do so. A great piece on a large amount of books that are actually banned, why they are banned, and a little about them. These books aren't banned the way the "banned books" section is at a Barnes and Noble, they're banned in the way that you can only…
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…

Looking to start doing some writing in a private way. I like substack, but they seem to be shoving more and more people into their app. They are proprietary, they are centralized, and they'll probably do the thing that happens with every "free speech platform" which is bait all the interesting…
