Looking for what Monero veterans actually use if it isn't a CEX. Just the methods people here consider the safest practical ways to turn some Bitcoin or cash into XMR. What works, and what would you avoid?
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…

Lets say you know there will be another global covid like event with similar global response and tactics as the first one (social distancing, masks, travel restrictions, experimental vaccines to be able to work/travel/buy food, etc) and it would take place in exactly one year from today. What, if…
Just found this site. Made by the people behind kycnot.me . It has some userful tools and network visualizations for fees and mempool. Some educational resources. News. But my favorite is the Monero Live (turn transactions and blocks into music).
There's a current rule on XmrBazaar that allows legal or technical assistance, guidance, or consultancy services to help users set up accounts, e.g. platform, offshore bank, exchange, or similar accounts (with Liberation Travel cited as a legitimate example). It simultaneously prohibits identity…
just listened to The Sovereign Individual (audiobook, because i am NOT a book person and adhd makes sitting still with pages feel impossible). still hit me harder than almost anything. the whole idea of actually finding sovereignty and freedom while this world keeps turning into a totalitarian…
LoA Quote from The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence. What are you going to do today, anon, to take back your freedom?
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
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…
Kicking the Dragon: Confessions of a Tax Heretic by Larken Rose Just watch this video today, and though it would be great to support such an amazing, unstoppable man. His contributions to the community have been extraordinary for a long time. An inspiring man.…
I. The Delusion of “Adjective Capitalism” versus The Reality of Propertarianism, Praxeology, and the Parasitic Anatomy of State Interventionism In contemporary political and academic discourse, it has become fashionable to blame every socio-economic pathology caused by government intervention on…
I say nutrition is tied to fitness so Imma drop this here. Inflammation what about it!?!? What is it and how do we get it. Well a big one is Omega 6 fat. Here's a little breakdown of some thoughts I have on what's happening internally and what/why I use the ones I use. I cook mainly in tallow and…
Today's Dead Drop. A spot where messages get left for pickup. Anything goes: introduce yourself, drop links, ask questions, comment on recent events, share half-formed ideas, and whatever else doesn't need its own post. A new drop goes up every day at 00:00 UTC.
Long time ago, i saw XMRSigner repo, then someone created ShieldSigner, a firmware for smartcards extension for signing TXs So came a late-night idea.. Why not tryin' to have something that works properly for MONERO? I put a claude agent to work on it, repo is private for now, I will do the…
This is my conversion story. A journey of escape from the BTC ecosystem — increasingly unrecognizable every day — which I managed to leave thanks to the involuntary work of the subject mentioned above. Let me explain. Matthew Kratter runs “Bitcoin University” on YouTube. He regularly flexes his…
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,…
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…
