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…
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…

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,…
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…

I was a nascent anarchist just barely beginning my journey when I came across this book. It helped expose me to a lot of questions I didn't know the answer to. Thank gods for that. http://anarchisthandbook.com/ The White Pill is also a good book. Although I think the pill will be red before it is…
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…
Nobody thinks twice when you close a door for a private conversation. It is not suspicious. It is normal. It is human. Money works the same way. Wanting to choose who sees your spending is not about hiding something. It is about keeping something that was never anyone else's business. That is the…
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…
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

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…
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…
Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir (sometimes called a semi-autobiographical or “documentary” account) based on Orwell’s real experiences in the late 1920s. He worked as a plongeur (dishwasher) in Paris hotel kitchens and later lived as a tramp in London lodging houses and casual wards.…
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…
I think many of us use LLMs for work. But I cannot help the instinctive distrust when I see a vibe-coded project. Especially if it is new and not by someone I already know and trust. Before, a non-professional project was obvious. Now the more polished it looks the less I trust it. The practical…
"Dread, one of the most prominent darknet forums, has been compromised, with those claiming responsibility now using one of the forum's well-known onion domains to promote a replacement project called Dread2. The group claims it gained access to the Dread project, including sensitive data and the…
