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…
There is a a healthy size Monero community on Nostr that I'm sure some of you already know about and are a part of. A fairly new Discord-like alternative was created called Concord Protocol by JSKitty and Yuurin . Private, decentralized, and scalable Nostr communities. Something like that didn't…
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…
I've been meaning to check this ever since I saw Spirobel's tweet last week. Browser wallets have been a routine part of other chains like Solana for a long time. They're pretty convenient. I think it's pretty neat: I just tried using it with Stasher: https://youtu.be/-xN-RzpOLww I know browser…
one benefit of building in the browser is that the instrumentation tools work very well. for example it is possible to slow down specific network requests with the old monero-wallet-rpc the issue was that the concurrency of the local http server was interleaved with the…
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…
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…
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 concept of the panopticon, the way Michel Foucault put it, has always been interesting to me. COVID really brought it into a new light. These are just some of my thoughts around it, and I'm always curious what other people will say. It's an old prison idea, a ring of cells and a tower in the…
Everyone remembers their first Monero. How did you get yours? Mining on a laptop that sounded like a jet engine? A P2P trade? A friend who wouldn't shut up about it until you caved? An ATM at 2 AM? Tell the story — the sketchier the better.
The fourth weekly rewards distribution cycle is complete and Stasher News launched one month ago (28 days ago to be exact, but hey, some months have 28 days). Notably, there have been over 485 tip transactions and almost one whole XMR has been tipped peer to peer (0.94 XMR tipped to be exact).…

In my quest to investigate the rising RAM and storage prices, as I am looking to upgrade my workstation and build a NAS with plenty of storage for backups and media, I've been researching, ironically with AI, the market prices, the current and forecasted trends, and the news surrounding these…

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…
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.…
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.…
Please consider, I am still developing my philosophy. That being said, I have thought a great deal about many of these things and I think they have a strong basis. I can provide supporting evidence and arguments later. This is just an outline of the philosophy which may be refined or refactored at…
monerowalledjust 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…
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…
This one is a sledgehammer: Rose does not argue that government is “too big” or “the wrong party is in charge”. He argues that authority itself is a superstition: the belief that some people have a moral right to rule others, and that the rest of us have a duty to obey. "The belief in “authority,”…
