I just noticed almost every single one of the cool Monero gifs have been deleted from X so it's meme time! Make a 7 second (or shorter) looped monero gif. Post it here and win a bounty (~0.015 XMR or $10 bux). Must be original, your work and based. Submit your entry before 20 November 2026. That…
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…
Good morning stashers, we have a big juicy update today. Come on in, sit down, sip some coffee, have a smoke, eat a pancake. Here's whats new: Stasher News is now FOSS. The repo is public. Bug/Issue reports can now be opened directly at: https://github.com/stashernews/stasher-news/issues Reposts…
Share your recommended Christmas gifts for 2026 that can be purchased with Monero. Follow this formula: Name: (of item / service) Category: (Food, Games, Tech, etc.) Region: (where can people order this?) Link: (to store where a purchase can be made in XMR) Note: (share a personal thought or review…
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…
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…
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…
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
context: https://stasher.news/items/341118 I'm proposing the weekly rewards have a basis in activity, rather than an arbitrary number that will have to be tweaked again in the future, and drains the pool faster than is warranted for the current adoption levels of the platform. It would be based on…
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.…
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,…
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…
Some of you might know me as Monero Master who developed the MCEP . I've been featured on Monero Talk with Douglas Tuman and was an early adopter of XMR Bazaar . My day job is as a professional digital marketer who manages large amounts of ad spend for some of the largest tabletop gaming brands in…
I've been spending time on Stasher News and XMR Bazaar lately, and they're honestly the first places where Monero felt real to me — not just a coin to hold, but money you actually use. Tipping posts, buying things, no middlemen. But it got me wondering: these are still pretty niche corners of the…
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…
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 =…
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…
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.…
This is a bit how I try to view Monero personally. People say they bought Monero with dollars, and I get why, because the button says Buy. You type a number, you press it, and it feels like paying for groceries. Look at what left your hands. The dollars left, and Monero showed up. You gave 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…
