If you're not US based it's basically free money for the elderly. Paid by the workers. Here's a table of equivalent systems. | United States | Social Security | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Canada | Canada Pension Plan (CPP) | | United Kingdom | National…
Noticed a few posts recently with ... machine like writing. Each account has made a post and a comment, with AI like writing style. It can be obfuscation of writing style, thought it seems strange to have several accounts all join and start posting at the same time. What do you think? Posts below.…
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…

I've been moving around, and one of the issues I always found, whatever place I land, is ordering stuff and getting it delivered without disclosing personal information. I've seen this https://stasher.news/items/339626/r/artemis posted today, and it made me want to ask stashers if they have any…
Re: moreso abstaining from certain topics out of respect for the content curation of the site. https://stasher.news/items/339448
Hey, Den here. Top stacker at the OG SN (https://stacker.news/denlillaapan )... @ek beat me to it (https://stasher.news/items/339137). Don't understand monero (or see the point -- seems unnecessary and needlessly complicated; digital scarcity invented only once etc etc), but love convos about money…
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…
We all talk about privacy, how about we embrace it a bit more here in stasher? I still see and be invited to watch videos on YT, which, with privacy, has not much to do. Asking here if stashers would be open to consider converting all the embedded videos to streams from something else instead, like…
Mastering Monero is still the book you hand someone who wants the map, not the changelog. SerHack and the Monero community wrote it so anyone can actually understand why stealth addresses, ring signatures and RingCT exist, and why a public ledger is a surveillance tool with extra steps. That part…
Yesterday anon donated 1 XMR to the rewards pool. https://stasher.news/items/340682 Today, the rewards pool has grown by another 0.2+ XMR. Check for yourself . I've verified, the XMR is in the wallet. Not a bug. Someone is showering stashers with love. Thanks anon! <3
I made a post requesting article ideas. See it here https://stasher.news/items/339774/r/OldNorseAnarchist I got some good suggestions and I've already said I'll use two of them, but to inspire more, I'll produce a list of my current ideas via their prospective titles. Remember, my post asked for…
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…
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
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…
Thanks @Aillia for creating this space. It's great to have a ~Library and share common reads, make commentaries and learn together. Here I want to share a book that came up recently in https://stasher.news/items/339194/r/artemis and I read some time ago: Stealth of Nations by Robert Neuwirth an…
How Stasher News handles X and YouTube links: X (Twitter) links Tweet previews are built in-house, not embedded: when an X link is posted, our server fetches the post's public Embed metadata once (text, author, date), expands any t.co short links back to their real destinations, and captures the…
On October 6, OpenAI makes an announcement about an unreleased internal model resolving long-standing open problems in mathematics. https://openai.com/index/sharing-ai-progress-in-mathematics/ Then Justrin Drake tweets this And calls upon the blockchain industry to "calmly begin planning for…
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…
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…
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…
