Looking for what Monero veterans actually use if it isn't a CEX. Just the methods people here consider the safest practical ways to turn some Bitcoin or cash into XMR. What works, and what would you avoid?
The few, the great!
Filippo Valsorda (Go cryptography maintainer and age author) just updated the Cryptographic Right Answers for the post-quantum era. Basically: stop inventing your own protocols, hug the hybrids before the harvest-now-decrypt-later crowd cashes in, and that symmetric crypto is still mostly fine. A…
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…
I'm considering using stasher as a home base for writing compelling articles. I have a lot of controversial views that you might observe via my bio or activity on the site so far. That being said, I want to start small. What is a good controversial topic that you might want discussed? I am a…

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…
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…
Some books you read. Others rearrange the furniture in your head. Mine: the Bible, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, Human Action by Mises, The Bitcoin Standard, and Zero to Monero. Each one broke something I thought I knew — about money, morality, or how people actually work. What's…
This video takes a holistic view of profit and offers comparisons to nature, looking at "good" and "bad" profit. It's also where I was first introduced to Jevons paradox: the more efficient we are, the more we consume. The author is a math major originally, has some old videos on bitcoin and other…
Bitcoin people on StackerNews are discussing why Monero use is exploding. Someone replied with this (screenshot src).

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…
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…
I really like this guy. He ran for president a couple of times. This is an old book with timeless wisdom, but he advocates the necessity in 1974 to consider shielding a good piece of your wealth in swiss bank accounts. He was the original monero bro. Still worth reading.
When you realize that Bitcoin wasn't as private as you were told
Since 1971 the paper currencies have all been losing what they can buy, and the measure is annual consumer prices, with the early years estimated. The Swiss franc did the least bad and it is still down about 66%, the yen is down about 71%, and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are both down…
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…
