This is the official subreddit of Monero (XMR), a secure, private, untraceable currency that is open-source and freely available to all.
Please stay on topic: this post is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero. NOT the positive aspects of it. Discussion can relate to the technology itself or economics. Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.

A few weeks ago there were rumors that Kraken was going to limit US residents in regard to deposits and withdrawals of Monero (XMR) to/from their Kraken accounts. This was rumored to happen on August 15th. Has anybody seen of evidence that this is, in fact, being implemented? submitted by /u/fancyrolling [link] [comments]

Hi, This is a post on Cuprate, the Rust Monero node. Since the well received Kesterite released two weeks ago development is going well, and a second preview version is in preparation. You can expect QoL and stability fixes, RPC hardening for making public nodes more robust, and pruning support. As many of you already know, since alpha, Cuprate can sync a blockchain dramatically faster than…
This is the weekly Monero market thread. This thread will be posted every Friday and is meant to help accelerate the adoption of Monero. Due to r/moneromarket having only a fraction of the subscribers of r/Monero , we have decided to create this thread to encourage more individuals to use Monero for product exchanges. Until the market matures, we recommend that the Monero community post their…
Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well. I just got back from DEFCON and it got me thinking about Monero and privacy. And it started with, how can I make Monero easier to use, send, work with, etc. I wanted it to be like tap-2-pay, or Venmo/PayPal, so I built DUCAT. Currently an Android client. https://github.com/karazajac/ducat as a way to do this. Its built using thr Veilid network (…
With the help of Claude I am now up and running with Fedora Plasma and also running a public node. Or to put it in Claude's terms: "I'm running monerod as a systemd service with an unrestricted local RPC on 18081 and a restricted public RPC on 18089, plus solo CPU mining." I have unlimited data and pretty fast fiber internet. Any pros and cons? Before AI help this was tedious and a little…
Hi All, I'm writing here as a last attempt to either fix or understand what the heck happened. Yesterday I logged into my Cake Wallet and was shocked to see this https://preview.redd.it/5dklibge98jh1.png?width=1577&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9795e215a2af42405f894912d4f42f87c7c7a25 As you can see from the screenshot above, my wallet's been hacked and funds have been transferred out. I tried reaching…

With the whole Coldcard thing, I've been reevaluating my setup and felt it was worth redoing everything for peace of mind but I didn't want to make the same mistake of remaining uninformed and placing my trust in some random seed generation code. So I went ahead and built my own from the ground up. Full transparency, I used AI, but it was all built one thing at a time, with extensive testing at…
I’m currently making a significant amount of money through crypto, and I make sure to properly declare my income, pay my taxes, and meet all my social-security obligations. However, I increasingly feel like there is almost no financial privacy left. Every transaction seems to be traceable, and I sometimes feel like I’m constantly being watched. At the moment, my setup involves sending funds to a…
Hello, my name is Matteo, I am the founder and developer of Servury.com , an anonymous cloud service provider. I'm writing this post to request feedback from probably one of the first crowds to have adopted Servury back when I released it in December. Here's some of the stuff we implemented over time so far based off of user feedback from Privacy Guides and Hacker News : - Making the website 100%…
Apple pay, bank transfer, cash by mail, cash in person and more ways to now get monero We’ve had people test it and no issues so we are now the first directory to have it listed. You see it all first on xmrhub.org🥂 https://xmrhub.org/account/listing.html?slug=chicksx submitted by /u/Lumpy-Initiative-779 [link] [comments]
I know it helps the general decentralisation and thus health of the network, but other than that, why would I run my own node? Does it improve privacy? Performance? Something else? submitted by /u/Affectionate-Grab907 [link] [comments]

i know how to invest in crypto and such, but im curious how people make money with the haveno network?(and similair) is there like a marketplace for only monero items? i know there was one but that got banned thanks! submitted by /u/TheTrueMetalPipe [link] [comments]
UX ability for monero would be greatly enhanced if there was a way to include a return address of some sort. yes sure it can be added on the application layer of wallets, but thats assuming everyone is using the same wallet with the same implementation. submitted by /u/ItchyEstimate4716 [link] [comments]
Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked many times, the other day I had to restart my phone, anyway, I lost my cake wallet, and have money in it, litecoin. I have just found the seed words, I am unsure of how to restore the wallet. I have the address, as it's on coinbase, and then I had thought the seeds were lost. Recently finding them, I am unsure how to restore the wallet. Thanks guys submitted…

I was watching " The Secret War to Censor the Internet " by Lextorias and it got me wondering, not for the first time: Why don't we have a decentralized, XMR-based, Patreon-like platform out there for fans to support creators without being cucked by Visa/Mastercard/Paypal/etc? I follow a lot of different art communities, and artists are regularly being taken down by platforms, or forced to censor…
Ledger fucked up and their Monero app leaked a secret that can be used to compute the private keys: https://donjon.ledger.com/lsb/022/ It is very unlikely that any malicious actors knew about this beforehand but they definitely know now, so update your ledger (or better yet, replace it with a Trezor, which is unaffected by this specific vulnerability) Practical exposure Requires something that can…
I've seen hundreds of chats about 'good or bad' cards, but never seen a proper comparison. Not only that, everyone, when they launch cards, promise the earth (cash back for example), only for the fine print to limit it massively. Then there's the hidden spreads in FX etc... I’m planning a research project to collect people’s real-world experiences with prepaid or reloadable Visa and Mastercard…
I've been building a suite of testnet tools for a while (a faucet, a wallet, an explorer). Two new pieces just went live and they go together: TestnetSwap, non-custodial cross-chain atomic swaps that run entirely in the browser, and TestnetHub, a place to actually learn how the testnets work. TestnetSwap swaps tLTC <-> tBTC and Monero (tXMR/sXMR) into tBTC or tLTC (the "t" prefix is testnet and…

Built Anonomi and Anonomi Messenger ( https://anonomi.org/messenger ) and the part I'd like picked apart here is the Monero side. You make a payment request inside a chat: fresh subaddress, amount, QR. Your contact scans it with their own wallet. It's not a wallet itself. The point is the channel. No servers - messages go peer-to-peer over Tor, or over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a USB stick when there's…
