You wake up and: PHP has two critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2. Exploitation started before the fix was published, and older versions (PHP 8.1 and below) have no official patch.…

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…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3_sMAAERwo In this video I explain how a zero day vulnerability in Dread's anti DDoS software, along with it's head technical admin accidentally uploading a private key, lead to the sites main onion domain getting hijacked, and the site being taken offline…

If you run any sort of infrastructure, website, self-hosted service, cloud service etc etc etc it might be a good idea to just have an agent run daily if not hourly scans for any security disclosures that affect those systems, and notify you immediately if any vulnerabilities relevant to you are…

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…

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.…

Hey everyone, first post here! We've been building an app called Horus. We wanted to code from our phones, so we got agents like Claude Code and Codex running natively on Android in a real Alpine Linux terminal. No root needed. Give the agent a task, lock your screen, and it keeps working in the…

I've been building monostr for a few weeks: an Android Nostr client where the "zap" is a Monero tip. No Lightning, no custodian, no KYC wallet in the middle. How it works: you register your primary address and private view key with a watcher (the same trust model as stasher.news, which is where I…

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.…

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…

"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…

On FCMP++, j-berman reported that the upstream integration PRs are ready for re-review after he addressed all LLM review comments, and he…

Monerowall is already a great feature, but would it be possible to add an optional checkbox (or similar) so authors can also put the comment section / discussion behind the same Monerowall? Use case: Publish a public puzzle/challenge so anyone can see the problem, while keeping replies, solutions,…

Unlike Bitcoin, which relies heavily on specialized hardware (ASICs), Monero uses the RandomX algorithm, designed for regular CPUs. You can start mining XMR with any decent computer (AMD Ryzen; Intel Core i5/i7), a reliable internet connection and, of course, a Monero wallet. The best option for…

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…

Hi While reading the discussion under Whats next at Stasher, what direction shall we move in? , I realized it was time to try something I've had on my mind for a while. One thing stood out in the comments: people want content that's worth reading and worth bookmarking and coming back to.…

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…

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…
