Hi, ek here! I used to work at Stacker News. I like what you created here! Forking a project with this ambition is a big compliment in my world. I'm curious about how you thought about sybil fees. I see you have chosen not to include them, so any tip goes 100% to the recipient. I know they suck,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
I have come to suspect that to most people thinking is painful. Some of us are addicted to thinking. Some of us find it a necessity. Johnny enjoyed it. I even have the suspicion that he enjoyed almost nothing else. -- Edward Teller, eulogizing John von Neumann I listened to Ananyo Bhattacharya's…
If you haven't read this, I would advise you do so. A great piece on a large amount of books that are actually banned, why they are banned, and a little about them. These books aren't banned the way the "banned books" section is at a Barnes and Noble, they're banned in the way that you can only…
Being interested in geopolitics, theology, and social psychology, I often read extensively about these topics. Perhaps too much? Clearly, the situation looks quite bleak right now, it may always have been. Yet I used to think of it as "this too shall pass" or "tough times never last", though both…
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.…
I see a lot of listings come and go on XMR marketplaces (xmrbazaar.com, former moneromarket.io, forum posts, etc), a good chunk of them absolutely suck and are very undesirable-looking. Here are some basic tips on how to increase your chances of getting customers. 1. Include a picture in your…
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 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…
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…
Incoming Zcash/ZODL scandal: $589k frozen after Zcash swapped through Near Intents. The user had been ghosted for 50 days before getting a response a few days ago on the Zcash forum from ZODL, saying that they can't comment on the matter (attached). twitter.com/unstoppablebyhs/status/2098401182980931644
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.…
When I load up Stasher News, I get put on the Lit page first, and if I do Lit or New, the bottom bar contains the S logo, the search logo, the post button, and the notifications logo, but it does not contain my account picture. Therefore, I am unable to get to my settings or profile to check my…
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…
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…
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…
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…
