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…
I've been thinking about how to use Monero transactions as a means of communicating covertly with another person. For example, if I sent you 0.000009830316 XMR using the code table above (you might need to download it to see it clearly) I would have communicated with you "WTB Fake ID". WTB =…
In the Cypherpunk board game , players use real encryption (one-time pads) and Monero to trade fake IDs, smash cameras, and overthrow a surveillance state.
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…
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…
I distrust the Governments I distrust my bank I distrust the big Tech I distrust Musk, Bezos and similar I distrust the Social Media (except #Nostr ) I distrust the AI chatbots I distrust Fiat, but trust in #Monero I put my Trust in God first and in my family
You NEED to SELL your XMR NOWWW: 10-block lock Devs are feds Inflation bugs Infinite supply ZCash is better CIA tracks it already Mining is not profitable Governments will ban it 51% attacks will break it Unfair early distribution Bitcoin Lightning is better CARROT breaks fungibility Devs…
Last Friday night in San Francisco, the REK team collaborated with influencer Frankie Lapenna in front of a live 100-person audience, for the world's first human vs robot fight. This event was not choreographed or faked in any way. Frankie signed the safety waiver, and we made sure to give him…
We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight. Frankie LaPenna gave it his all 🥊 More fight footage coming soon!
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…
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/.…
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…
instead of agreeing a fiat value denominated in Monero and so your bills are sky rocketing because XMR is $600 goddam dollars & going to the moon!
I put a small UPS on the flex mining/main ops PC. Not because mining has to run 24/7 no matter what; but a dirty blip is worse than a clean stop on the mothership. This UPS is a smooth sine wave. Cheap UPS units fake that on battery with a stepped / simulated wave. A lot of modern PC power supplies…
We all love freedom, yet we don’t always want it for others — and we rarely stop to think about that. We probably should. Three years ago, SourceHut — a platform dedicated to free software hosting — issued a bold statement: software related to crypto and blockchains was no longer welcome there. The…
