"Spend your Monero on the things Monero can buy. Spend your time on the things Monero can't buy."

Highlights: • A new startup wizard to choose your currency and Monero node, or…

The phenomenon of the 'Streisand Effect' refers to any attempt to hide or censor information, with the unintended consequence that exactly this information will be spread wide and far. The term came into existence through Mike Masnick (CEO Techdirt) when he wrote an article in 2003 about an…

Monero 0.18.5.3 'Fluorine Fermi' released. This is a highly recommended release that includes a large number of bug fixes: P2P stalls, tx relay, remote node hardening, RPC privacy, multisig nonces, log injection and more. https://www.getmonero.org/2026/10/06/monero-0.18.5.3-released.html GUI:…

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/.…

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?

There is a a healthy size Monero community on Nostr that I'm sure some of you already know about and are a part of. A fairly new Discord-like alternative was created called Concord Protocol by JSKitty and Yuurin . Private, decentralized, and scalable Nostr communities. Something like that didn't…

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…

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…

Have you participated in either of the first two stressnets? and are you participating in the upcoming oct 5th stressnet? https://github.com/seraphis-migration/monero/releases/

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…

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…

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…

There are lots of XMR gift card options, here I'll try to rank them according to my own needs which is 1. data SIM 2) transportation 3) accommodation 4) food and groceries 5) privacy tools 6) electronics goal: simulate if one could survive in a given country for a period of time without relying on…

I've been thinking about how to use Monero transactions as a means of communicating covertly with another person. For example, if I sent you 0.000009830316 XMR using the code table above (you might need to download it to see it clearly) I would have communicated with you "WTB Fake ID". WTB =…

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,…

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,…

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…
