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,…
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

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…
The Stash #02: How does a ring signature work? Level: Intermediate Reading time: \~25–30 min Last verified: 6 Nov 2026 Version covered: Monero v0.18.5.4 "Fluorine Fermi" (GitHub release ) Scope: This article is based on the original CryptoNote v2.0 ring signature (2013). Quick heads-up before we…
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…
Just as a hypothetical chat starter (because obviously I would never never ever do this, who would?) but is it possible to make a truly private website. Say for example I wanted to sell T-shirts with illegal abouts of nipples painted onto them and I wanted to post worldwide, accept monero but I…
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.…
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…
If you have issues, feel free to contact me. Accepting Monero on your website should NOT be complicated af. btw, i dont run any analytics and shit so, if something is not working or you want something or if this is pure crap, just lemme know :)
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. The Art of War, Sun Tzu This was…
It’s remarkable that putting fiat currency on a blockchain was enough to make us call it “stable.” So called stablecoins are 'ideally' backed by fiat one to one, but fiat is not stable in price and the coin can be seized and infinatly minted. Actually we don't even know how and if they are backed.…
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…
I never think it’s a great idea to publicly proclaim you are withholding tax, or to publicly talk about organized withholding tax events like Jocko Willink and others are considering as a protest measure. That said withholding tax is a fast way to curb governments, cause reform and reshape the…

If you’ve never considered the state’s monopoly on identity or the idea of separating ID from the state the way we advocate separating money from the state, read “The ‘unregistered Americans’: because of their parents, they do not exist” before answering.
In light of the recent awakening of men who now truly understand the nature of women, I want to take the time to talk about my own discoveries, and how men and women represent the Universal Principles. Additionally I believe that my final conclusion is something better than both sides of the modern…
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…
If you run any sort of infrastructure, website, self-hosted service, cloud service etc etc etc it might be a good idea to just have an agent run daily if not hourly scans for any security disclosures that affect those systems, and notify you immediately if any vulnerabilities relevant to you are…
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,…
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.…
