The Stash #01: What Monero Hides, and What It Doesn't Level: Intermediate Reading time: \~10 min Last verified: 26 Oct 2026 Version covered: Monero v0.18.5.4 "Fluorine Fermi" (GitHub release ) Contents In short Scenario Stop 1: Exchange Stop 2: Swap Stop 3: Payment Deadly zone: network and OPSEC…
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
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,…
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…
One place i worked, during the lunch break, i ate this hoagie with off white cheese, greyish meat and it was all wet for no apparent reason. After downing it in a mountain dew to kill off the odd taste in my mouth I returned to my desk. Very quickly I was almost rendered unconscious by abrupt pain…
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…
monerowalledSigning Monero transactions offline isn't easy to begin with, and even the official method is complex and risky enough that it's not really recommended. But there's another thing about the official flow that's bothered me for a while: it doesn't actually build the transaction offline. The transfer…
Hey, Den here. Top stacker at the OG SN (https://stacker.news/denlillaapan )... @ek beat me to it (https://stasher.news/items/339137). Don't understand monero (or see the point -- seems unnecessary and needlessly complicated; digital scarcity invented only once etc etc), but love convos about money…
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…
For those who do not know: Nikolai was a true builder and one of the last genuine cypherpunks in crypto. He focused on elegant, permissionless, corruption-resistant systems rather than hype, profit, or personal branding. As one tribute put it, he spent his life crafting tools to realize a vision of…
today is Nikolai Mushegian's (@delete_shitcoin) 33rd birthday. here's to a genius who dared to see things for what they are and call them by their true names—and, most importantly, when he saw something wrong, he built the tools to make it right. Nikolai was a builder in the…
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…
Hey everyone, John here. For the past week I've been helping Doug (Sunita) book guests for Monero Talk and Monerotopia — the longest-running Monero podcast, on air since 2017. I've booked almost half a dozen guests across the next four weeks so far. What I've learned: the Monero ecosystem is way…
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…
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…
Monero Tech Meeting Summary — #183 (Aug 31) & #184 (Sep 7, 2026) Overview The Monero Tech meetings are weekly Monday gatherings chaired by rbrunner7 in the #no-wallet-left-behind channel (bridged IRC-Libera/Matrix). The project is currently in a heavy preparation phase for the v0.19 release, while…
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…
I'm not a big music person (by music I mean a subset of "sounds" set), but I love/can appreciate powerful lyrics. All of Tom MacDonald , yes. And also this one by Oliver Anthony. Oliver Anthony "Rich Men North Of Richmond" I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay…
Tor VPN Beta extends Tor's protection on Android beyond the browser by routing app traffic through the Tor network using per-app isolated circuits. The Tor Project announced a wider rollout of the app yesterday, September 9. Unlike a conventional VPN, which typically sends all traffic through a…
Hello. From a couple years ago i made an experiment called: shadowstrike. It was a tor onion site where you can pay lightning invoices with monero zero conf. The main premise was I fucking hate waiting but love privacy. I am rerunning the experiment but this time with a better lightning node and…
Looking to start doing some writing in a private way. I like substack, but they seem to be shoving more and more people into their app. They are proprietary, they are centralized, and they'll probably do the thing that happens with every "free speech platform" which is bait all the interesting…
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…
