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
Monero has waited two weeks for Anthropic’s OSS Scanner with ZERO response. Algorand was opened and merged in 19 hours! (same license issue on both) Monero is one of the most important privacy projects ever built. If you believe privacy is a human right and that the rules should apply equally,…

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…
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…

First week of sn and here are some things I learned. I noticed myself spending more and more time on stasher.news lately, as this is one of the most refreshing sites I have found, and I would like to share what I have learned after hanging around for a while - sharing is caring. Starting with The…
in the world of bitcoin, archival activity and consensus is mixed up which leads to some odd ideas about scaling, like that privacy preserving chains like monero scale worse than bitcoin if you are new to this kind of thought, reading this twitter thread might help…
luckily the actual state is much smaller. In practice there is no fundamental scaling difference between privacy preserving and transparent chains twitter.com/chimpdaiz/status/2119281966243840356
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…

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.…
Great episode with Jeffro and Doug to get the latest updates from a Monero dev on the devs path to FCMP++ The GAANT chart is also great visual aid to follow whats currently happening Timestamps: 0:00 Intro and sponsors (Cake Wallet, Stealth EX) 1:00 Catch-up: family life, NY governor's race,…
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…
Skylight by MAGIC Grants is one of the very few wallets that run off Monero LWS, which kills the dreaded sync wait I hate so much. Brings us closer to a mobile XMR experience w/ the UX modern chains provide. Making a mobile device do the chain scan never made much architectural sense to begin w/.…
Tracking remains one of the most obvious pain points for privacy-conscious people in today’s surveillance economy, and it shows up clearly in XmrBazaar’s data. The majority of listings in the top four categories (Sell product: other , Sell service: assistance , Sell service: proxy merchants , and…
This is a practice network for a Monero upgrade called FCMP++ and Carrot. It is not mainnet. The coins on it are not your real coins. Your normal wallet stays where it is. A node is just the program that downloads the chain and talks to other computers. The test needs its own node. The one you…

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…
Bitcoin was a revolutionary breakthrough that proved peer-to-peer digital cash could function without banks or any financial intermediaries. It combined publicly accessible transactions with a Proof-of-Work mechanism that operates free of any central authority or third-party trust. Yet this…
Signing 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…
