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,…
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
Obligatory Monero Turf post: How did you first learn about Monero? How did you start using it, and why Monero? What other essential privacy tech or practices do you employ in daily life? Obviously only share what you are comfortable sharing, and change all names, dates, locations, and events to…
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…

Many people learn and understand finance (including personal) through little tricks or sayings. What are your favorites? One of my favorites: Invest first that way you never see the money that went there and you never miss it.

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…

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…
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…
