Blockchain disk churn

After having a few annoying blockchain corruptions on the whonix workstation, I decided to create a local-only dedicated 24/7 blockchain VM (fedora server). This has been great and I wish I had seperated the blockchain from the client sooner.......but what I have noticed is that the VM is getting an absurd amount of churn. My daily incremental backup is around 30GB using veeams high compression! I…

Moonpay

For some reason two weeks ago I decided to try and purchase some XMR directly from Moonpay. Come to find out they sold me a BS token that isn'tr real XMR and is untradeable. Is there anything I can do. Customer support has acknowledged there fuck up but isn't willing to do anything about it. Who do I report them to? or is there a way to sell this fake XMR? submitted by /u/qwuyn [link] [comments]

Monero in times of crisis

I think there will be a huge economic crisis, specially in Europe. I think that for multiple reasons, mainly because the automation of white collar jobs will cause many people losing their jobs, which will cause more people to lose their jobs which will ultimately and even worse make this people more likely to radicalize in socialist/communist ideas that will end up in more control from the state.…

Monero broke suppression in January.

It seems no one either noticed or wants to talk about the elephant in the room.. we broke something this year. You can fact check this on HTX right now and it showed this on many non western exchanges and some rolled it back.. why? They want you to get bored. Voluntarily exit the coin and not realize its the real bitcoin. We are a threat to bankers, bitcoiners, exchanges and the global monetary…

Is Zcash used as currency anywhere?

I know that in theory Zcash can be very private. Well, it lacks the fungibility that Monero has by default, but at least with shielded transactions, it's private. However, I'm having difficulty finding any actual real-world use cases for this privacy. Are there any merchants that accept Zcash natively? It's all over exchanges, but is there a single P2P platform that has ever offered it? Is there…

Signing messages with a monero address

So I saw this feature in cake wallet and the official monero GUI that you can sign messages with a monero address but can I like trust it? Or should I just use PGP to sign messages?

Replacing ECDSA with commit-reveal hash schemes for post-quantum payments

I have been toying with this idea for a while: Can we make blockchain payments quantum-proof without heavy asymmetric signatures? Standard networks rely heavily on ECDSA, which faces long-term vulnerabilities from quantum computing (Shor's algorithm). I recently vibecoded Sealstore, an experimental signatureless payment scheme in Go that relies purely on commit-reveal hash schemes to eliminate…

5 years after OpenBazaar: we rebuilt a web-native P2P marketplace with native Monero 2-of-3 multi-sig escrow – looking for community feedback

Hey r/Monero , Years ago, OpenBazaar proved that sovereign, decentralized P2P commerce was possible. When the original project ended, a group of volunteer developers from the community (including us) felt the vision couldn't die. Over the last 5 years of nights and weekends , we took that core P2P multi-sig escrow foundation and completely rebuilt it for the modern web: What we built: 100%…

After 21,017 bets monero.win only made 3 XMR profit.

I’ve been building and operating monero.win ⁠, a small Monero only casino, for around 530 days. I rebuilt it and launched V2, and it's since crossed 48,000 bets (21,017 since v2). People often ask how much these services make. What surprised me most is how little the house has actually won. Actual gross profit since v2? Approximately 3 XMR after 21,000+ bets and several thousand wagered XMR. That…

Why on earth do bitcoin maxis insist on paying with bitcoin when we have monero?

I watch many bitcoin channels on YouTube and I have never seen them recommend to pay in monero, monero is privacy by default but they insist on paying with bitcoin in an anonymous way with more steps involved. It doesn't make sense! submitted by /u/Chance-Half-199 [link] [comments]

Leading no KYC visa/Mastercard virtual cards for privacy seekers?

I’m trying to find decent no KYC visa/Mastercard virtual card for privacy stuff, small online buys maybe adding to a mobile wallet when I travel next month. Ideally fundable with xmr or at least without touching a bank/exchange login, but I’m not sure how many of these are legit vs just sketchy resellers. Anyone here actually using one lately, and what are the gotchas with declines, fees or cards…

We need your help to make a faster and more secure Monero node a reality.

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…

Show r/Monero: DUCAT

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well. I just got back from DEFCON and it got me thinking about Monero and privacy.

Currently an Android client. https://github.com/karazajac/ducat as a way to do this. Its built using thr Veilid network (…

Running a public Monero full node

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…

Generating air-gapped seeds with coins/dice/card entropy on a Raspberry Pi Zero

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 Making Money With Crypto, Paying All My Taxes , Yet I Still Feel Watched

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…

We need something like Patreon based on Monero!

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…
