 You need to use --xmrNodes not --xmrNode for a node list 
 If you complain of kyc shotguns on monero, it's a skill issue because you didn't used what the market offered. Use haveno-reto.com or unstoppableswaps.net 
 I used to think monero was better than bitcoin for privacy,  but now I know monero is not necessa... 
 I could be more rich in bitcoin than satoshi everytime I heard "now I know it's not necessary"
e-cash solutions are custodial and a mint provider still knows where fund goes (pretty like lightning) additionnaly of being an optionnal solution (not fixing Bitcoin). 
 I might have an idea to wake up bitcoiners on a near situation in Europe.
Europe banned those PROTOCOLS (yes the math not the currency):
ring signatures
confidential transactions
stealth addresses
"I'm bitcoiner I dont care about monero problems"
Honestly, I dont care about those legal problems because I fight for freedom of everybody on this earth.
BUT
You, are using KYC providers right ? And this law was made to ban above monero, as a way to avoid improvement on protocols of other chains SUCH AS BITCOIN
AND WHAT FROM MONERO IS CURRENTLY USED BY BITCOIN AND ON THE MARKET ?
Silent Payments (stealth addresses)
Confidential Transactions (Liquid L2)
Do you start to realize now ? 
 I *lot* of time heard from a lot of non monero people:
"Nothing happens in monero, it's annoying"

Then you might need to remind them how 2024 was rocky:
- OKX + Binance delisting
- Finnish feds tracing FUD (the deanonymized threat-actor in reality leaked his personal infos in a ransom archive so completely unrelated to monero).
- Spam attack
- LocalMonero.com closure
- Haveno-reto.com launches 2 weeks after like a community response
- botnets shutdown from feds dropping monero's hashrate, giving more opportunity for fair solo or p2pool.io mining.
- Announces about future FCMP++ integration to grow the anonset.
- chainalysis inefficient tools leaked (powered by malicious RPCs and insufficient decoy revealing because most of monero are bought without KYC)
- Kraken delistings in EU 
 We truly are the bleeding edge of censorship resistance. 
 The new paradigm monero should reach during this economical decentralization phase, is being usable as an extension along crypto privacy tools to make monero purchasing more private.

For example: getting a MimbleWimble implementation in haveno to trade LTC for XMR, or paynyms for atomicswaps to CoinJoin your swap 
 I stopped to use bitcoin the day they put my friend tdev in prison. Samourai has a great cypherpunk spirit that I wanted to believe in the bitcoin community.

But in reality, all bitcoiners (very specially those based in US) would spend their life to throw you behind bars if it could keep bitcoin regulated to fulfill their shitty hard money theory.

Satoshi designed bitcoin as a way to make honest coin creation but it gone turned as the whoppy woppy supa rare asset that shows how humans can submit themselves and going more dumb if that could pump their bags.

The famous day, where they hopes dollar collapsing, will not be in their favor. Because they're now beasts they wanted to beat.

You seen how bitcoin reacts everytime the global panic is here and you also sees how monero break limits of manipulation.

If youre a bitcoiner that wanted freedom by having a money you can spend on what you want, learn people about monero. Always in first by usecase and for investment for people financially educated. 
 You probably noticed haveno-reto.com don't makes a big volume, because this network is very young (end of May).

To grow this network, we need to primarily using it as an escrow with ex P2P traders or new ones. "Hey do you still trade monero for cash ? we can settle on haveno-reto.con I share you my tradeid".
 
 Additionnaly of atomicswaps and haveno-reto.com, if you want to really impact the market, you need to know most of people are tracking their crypto prices on things like coinmarketcap and coingecko.
Those trackers, aren't tracking DEX and tracking CEXs with manipulated reserves, with leverage ect ect. But they lists few nonkyc exchanges where price can be impacted with less risks like kyc shotguns ect.. for example i'd advise tradeogre.

 LMDB is far better than Berkeley databases, I think youre just lying about your storage disk or using some primate HDDs lol 
 Where do you see *multiple* monero inflations bugs ? Only one were discovered and patched before being used.
Also when bug happens, it happened. A transparent blockchain won't more help you to avoid it. 
 haveno.markets -> good #Monero price tracker rid of Coingecko/CoinMarketCap
monero.boats is also nice 
 Kraken to delist #monero end of '24

 Just use haveno-reto.com 
 Check on their site, at the bottom they link articles for installations or guided trading 
 Have fun licking banker and FIAT boots, pseudo "freedom fighter" 
 Good luck to get your mom using lightning too haha what the fuck is this argument 
 Yeah I forgot, to receive funds lightning you must have funds before. Your "swap" won't work on-demand until youre using a custodial solution. 
 What perfect knowledge an user needs ?
Just get monero.com wallet.
Addresses are changing everytime you receive and you additionally can use Tor just by launching Orbot. 
 Easy as running any node. Running an executable nothing more. 
 Theres haveno-reto.com now, more private than bisq since security deposits are in XMR. 
 You can use haveno-reto.com they lists all existing currencies and being a localmonero replacement.

 It's not possible without Tor or a VPN (embedded content is loaded in client side), it was a reminder to mendatory use those solutions for users safety 
 Some of my friends I onboarded on monero complained about long syncing times for their wallets:
So I rant my own full node and gave them a private hidden-service.

Now they enjoys a smooth experience, on using monero and I protect their own privacy.

Do the same to push monero towards decentralization, while on-boarding people you know 
 When you run your own node, you have no backlog & your transactions are broadcasted faster. 
 #Monero is winning the long term race based on fundamentals and value.

- mining with decentralized mining pools: gupax.io
- Atomicswap bitcoin for monero: unstoppableswap.net
- A bisq fork to replace localmonero: haveno-reto.com
- non-custodial marketplace: xmrbazaar.com

It's long term value gains in strength during market turnoils, that means an opportunity to buy cheap $XMR during bitcoin bull markets, to then rotating back to speculation during bearmarkets. 
 #monero got delisted from kraken, but who the fuck cares ? the whole market is coded and running, now it's time to migrate and boycott CEXs 🌠

 Satoshi wanted to add anonymity & privacy in Bitcoin.
Hal Finney also wanted to and he specifically told that "if the digital currency you have to use isnt private or anonymous, it will harm society instead of deserving it".

Bitcoiners are saying "we fight against the FIAT" when in realities they're shilling it to institutions and governments who are seeking it for collateralized loans that will empower the FIAT instead of starving it.

They thinks their asset is providing freedom and threatening states when countries are regulating it because being sufficiently weak while currencies like Monero are getting widely banned and targeted of misinformation and speculative attacks.

 Nostr can be extremely dangerous for people not using VPNs/Tor, because they loads images from any URL.
So someone who needs to capture the IP of someone, can simply link to the victim an image-powered "IP grabber/logger" to get the IP of the victim. 
 Do you know haveno-reto.com ?
It's a bisq fork making possible to trade #Monero in P2P for FIAT & Cryptocurrencies with 2/3 multisig wallets. 
 Yes you can it's activated/implemented by default on each haveno trade (one multisig per trade), it's managed by the software so you dont need to modify your setup but the wallet-cli or rino supports multisig 
 Hi monero community 👋
I will give some good tips in the future 😉

 XMRBazaar is a good initiative, I hope they will go far 
 Only true bitcoiners can save the world now .
There’s no going back 
 I dont understand why you talk badly about inflation like monero would be Zimbabwe 2.0 when Ethereum or Solana exists.

You also talk about gold inflation and saying Monero is half of it. So are you saying gold is hidden taxed ? Yes there's inflation but a very low cost to keep people incentivized to mine. 

The more Bitcoin halves, more there's miner capitulations and now there's also speculators who can spike fees to more than 100$ for a single transaction. 
 Any way to speed up #monero  block syncing? Are there hours of higher activity for example? 
 Running your own node 😃 
 You dont need to know the amount transacted when you know channel states. 
 How true that #Monero is causing blockchain bloat and what does that even mean? What is the risk ... 
 You can cause blockchain bloat on all blockchains, but on monero it goes pretty well:

For example, on bitcoin when you bloat the chain it spikes fees and your transaction is in pending for hours/days.

On monero, if you used your own node it only took more storage on the device and transactions 2~4 minutes slower.
