excuse me but fuck no.

acknowledging that customers participate in the black/grey markets doesn't make anyone a criminal.
even those customers.

building a product *that criminals also use* is just building a good product. acknowledging that criminals use it doesn't make building the thing a crime.

also, "premium addons" for high net worth individuals doesn't constitute charging more to launder the proceeds from criminal acts.

the DOJ has a flimsy case. that's why they are prosecuting for conspiracy instead of operating an unlicensed money transmitter.
no unfortunate precedent if they lose.

this is an intimidation tactic.
de facto legislation through lack of clarity and indictment.

EVERYONE who cares about overreach should care about this case. These people are freedom fighters and they deserve the total support of the open source community and the greater citizenry.

disingenuous.

"learning" monero is a simple as installing a wallet and spending.

meanwhile on bitcoin
the "whole other system" needed to transact privately was confiscated in Iceland

and there are NO good alternatives.

so "just learn to use bitcoin" is either a disingenuous argument,
or you don't know how to use bitcoin anyway.

Great post.

"the devs" haven't changed the hash algo since monero moved to randomX.

So far asic-resistance is working.

and it doesnt NOT "defeate the entire purpose of PoW." its a tradeoff. bitcoins mining is centralized, moneros is not.

This is a correct take.
When you create levers of power like we have in the US (or China for that matter) you attract psychos who want to exert power over others.

If you want the job you should be disqualified from holding office. There should be zero tolerance for corruption and public servants who are found to use their position for personal enrichment should be tarred and feathered and socially shunned for the rest od their lives.

Not this horseshit "oh well, he's a corrupt sociopath but at least he validates my worldview"

That is exactly how we got into this mess.


same

kayabanerve has done a lot to convince me


Pursuing NGU over censorship resistance is capitulating to regulatory capture.

Bitcoiners are still chasing the laser.


particularly true if the UTXOs are KYCed and linked to your IRL identity


np


everything is tradeoffs.

a hard cap is a gamble that a fee market will develop based on transactions to pay for network security.
BTC has maybe 8 more years to get it together.

since most volume we've seen is speculative interest in jpegs, it's not particularly encouraging.
but hey, it could happen.


meh
standard Dunning-Kruger

gold has been a stable SoV for 2k years *with predictable inflation.
so you are obviously incorrect and just repeating stuff you've heard somewhere else.
moneros supply inflation is lower than golds.

a hard cap is a stupid knee jerk reaction to fiat insanity.
well-meaning but ultimately dumb.

good luck with your digital real estate.


In the case of BTC, it is continual halvings until the (stupid) hardcap.

monero is 0.6 XMR per block.

both known monetary policy, both with their own tradeoffs.


lazer-eyes won't accept Monero because they want to rationalize getting personally wealthy as a necessary step to censorship resistant digital transactions.

it is just a rationalization, don't be confused.


It is not. He is precisely correct.

Your assertion that fixed supply is all that matters is lazy and anti-intelletual.

Whst is important is that monetary policy is known, difficult to change, and newly created money is distributed in an accessible way.

"there will only ever be 21M" is a meme. it is irrelevant for us in the rest of our lives.
Your purchasing power is still bring "stolen" from you according to your definition.
More than if you held gold or held monero.

What matters is exactly what he said.


Shifting the overton window towards "regulatory clarity" buys regulators time.

Now its time for intolerance of this compliance bullshit


that's great but

how are we going to establish reputation for anonymous mints when regulatory pressure is applied?

Thanks.

When I took this I just had one miner connected (Connections=1) and the pool machine itself.

I think the 8KH is a different thing. Thats the Sidechain section of the status report. Its saying I produce that many hashes on the p2pool chain.

Further down it gives the local miner status with how many threads it uses and how many hashes. Guessing it isn't included in that StratumServer number and it's only number of hashes for the connected miners.

Which makes sense now that I say it outloud.
Its just the server, not the local miner.


Hey can anyone tell me if these numbers only refer to the miner(s) that are connected to the p2pool at the moment?

Or is it supposed to include the device running the p2pool instance also (which is also mining)?

GM nostr. Proof of work for my sats for syrup. 5 a.m. in Ohio here and I just got fire going.. Had a great sap run and have to boil as much as possible today on my wood fired homemade evaporator. Cutting wood also today while I boil because I'm running low. Believe it or not the maple syrup industry is also commercialized. Tubing in woods, blending syrups, natural gas or fuel oil burners, pressure filters with diatomaceous earth, and if you ever see "spicy syrup" or "bourbon aged syrup" it's cause they take their worst syrup and add a strong flavor to it and market it.
I'm old school and still boil outside over wood. Each 5-10 gallon batch has its own unique characteristics. Message me if interested, prices in my profile and I prefer BTC.

spare me the regurgitated Saifedean doctrine

you understandably want your favorite chain to "win"
but the reality of the situation is a lot more complicated than "bitcoin is inevitable"


there are real reasons why the tradeoffs made by some projects are not preferable.

and there are real reasons why some tradeoffs might be preferable.

Your attitude completely fails to recognize this.

Bitcoin isn't perfect.
It was designed to make certain tradeoffs. Tradeoffs which require thinking people to make intelligent decisions.

Abdicating that responsibility makes you a bad person, not a bitcoiner and you should feel bad about yourself.


No.
just flat out wrong.

nostr is private the same way bitcoin is private.

ie not at all except nobody cares enough yet to develop tracking tools.


Nostr is a decentralized protocol that is not private by default. Kyc or no-KYC has nothing to do with the Nostr protocol. Nostr doesn't come with a VPN, just like the internet.

"Relays know your IP address, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) except for Private Zaps and Private DMs. While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you and your DM counterparty, everyone can see when you and your counterparty DM each other." -Amethyst on Github

There are malicious nodes. Lightning is not private by default, especially if you're running your own node and receiving, sending is more private. By contrast, Monero is private by default.

Nsec can be compromised just like any other password, etc.

and yeah, literally nobody uses liquid

monero is certainly more private.
the sender, receiver and amount sent is hidden by default in every tx.

more trust is required by users because of the proofs that ensure there is no supply inflation.

but it isn't new or edgy cryptography, its old established stuff.


the xmr coinbase reward is transparent

range proofs ensure that the inputs and output of every tx add to zero.

therefore the total available supply is the sum of all the coinbases.

easy.


I sure hope you don't pronounce it "MU-Rin"


my experience as well.

and i agree on your cost analysis.
I am fortunate to live in an area with lots of pasture and healthy ruminants.


yeah


mine too


wtf

well that explains it. I'm glad i got one.
But I wanted the big one too.


stack duo is def good for only btc and monero.
cake supports shitcoins also.


might as well be.
they've been out of stock for months


fuck you. we disagree all the time.


my man.

everthing else is noise.


i run nodes on an old laptop and VPS
and have desktop and mobile wallets


btc maxis have lost the cypherpunk spirit.
its with monero now.

which is not a shitcoin by any sane metric.


GM nostr

remember remember


hey
you asked


yo


ngu compliance cucks can get fucked.

you DIRECTLY contribute to regulatory capture of the bitcoin protocol by spreading your ass cheeks for the state.

do better.


congratulations

you are the problem with bitcoin


we just need tor support now


very cool. never tried honey before.


大阪もそうですけど


it's not covid. they just do that.


japan is a different world


I don't thinkit's really supposed to be possible


yeah kagi is dope


pay for search with kagi.com

they accept LN


yea Sunday is family day
be grateful


material gainz bro


monero is good aktully


which has never happened.
monero does 1/10 of btc daily txs

*real* easy to trace

sounds basically unscalable and hell for wallet sync


nono sorry wasnt clear

you have use the cli wallet to export the partially signed tx and import it into the other wallet signers

its a huge UI hassle and nobody does it

if interested:
https://monerodocs.org/multisignature/


there's still plenty of BTC usage on dnms

Versus had a nice multisig setup before they were compromised.


multisig on monero requires out of band signing.
the necessity will be eliminated in the Seraphis update (coming soon ™)


too bad I'm just a poor midevil Chinese hermit 😫


yours is working too 😍


sorry i cant help it


I agree different terms are necessary.

if only because monero zaps could observe 1st principles and be noncustodial

this new generation of nostr users are growing up thinking custodial solutions are normal


yeah if anyone cared about doge that might be cool


lol
should be fine right?

different problem then mine then.
different OS too

sorry. install matrix?


you have to be in an area with good coverage


there is an active bounty for Monero zaps and  Cake wallet is working on it as well

there has been discussion about nomenclature


be a lot cooler if you were


iphone right?
and you are activating for the first time?
are you in an area with good coverage?


i use phoenix myself.

homeboy is using alby.


i had some trouble getting mine trained up last week.
their support on matrix was excellent.

dunno if this link will work for you https://matrix.to/#/!PPgTMIUsMvbrkwQmaW:monero.social?via=monero.social&via=silent.link

hey nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c

you recommend just going with the Pixel 8 because of the long support life?
considering updating from my 6.

which still feels new from the 4 I had forever...


I find it extremely easy


Does a dog have the Buddha nature or does it not?


I strongly recommend Kagi for search. It’s paid. The consequence is great results with no ads. They accept lightning now.


OK

someone breaking AES-256 encryption is not in my threat model.
and i also can and do have a secure offline backup that can be restored anytime. it doesn't require chasing down stray bits.

but its a difference in design philosophy and I respect your approach.


Im gonna sign my multisig with nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl  and PSBT support in Samourai wallet

sure then its overkill

lot of us have multiple devices for different threat models
having one password manager that automatically syncs between all of them is pretty useful

its takes 20 minutes to set up on a VPS.
in that case, you win out over brain drain vs keypass because you dont have to manually sync databses files

even still, for most folks
trusting bitwarden with your encrypted passwords isnt a big deal

Is there any speech to text option that doesn't rely on google?


thanks
the general consensus was stick with monero-wallet or feather
widely used and much reviewed

was really hoping for an option that would let me add custom entropy however


and very smart people say regular computer RNG is good enough

so i guess I can still with wallet-cli


i have some concerns about how the entropy is generated
i love that @seedsigner supports user-added entropy

but there doesn't seem to be a monero wallet generator that does
unfortunately


yeah
i wouldn't recommend a phone but
I have an old tablet i installed linux on and transfered over moneromoo's javascript wallet generator on a USB

pound the seed on washers
copy the view key back to USB for a watch only wallet

good to go 👍

hey so the new primal android client looks pretty sweet

amethyst has the features tho


hey nostr
who knows a good tool for generating a monero wallet offline?
I have cold storage needs.

I have donated to a bounty to add monero zaps to nostr
monero zaps could actually be done is a noncustodial p2p way

also adoption. it is credible that this sort of social media could drive bitcoin or monero adoption.

i woukd personally prefer it was monero.


why does it have to be voip?

Bounty: "Nostr client for Monero"

https://bounties.monero.social/posts/94/0-988m-nostr-client-for-monero


lol for real?
could be sweet...


afaik
they could go after relay operators since they store the nostr "notes"
but since anyone can run a relay....

a lot like btc or xmr node infrastructure i suppose


nm
im pulling it from their Froid repo


i buy pemmican bars from eataupa.com with it


any nostriches ever configure Obtanium to update Samourai wallet? what configuration did you use?


statement of licensing from their (lead?) maintainer.
https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/discussions/3196


btw
if your comfortable with the new licensing you CAN still get updates straight from Github via Obtanium


I will start looking into it. Thanks.


Yeah, its source viewable. Their CC license just restricts commercial development.
I guess mostly it just causes a lot of problems vs updating without Google Play.


You can still run it and host it yourself.
And if you're good with Google Play you will still get updates.

They have a restricted "source viewable" license that prohibits commercial development.
Which is much better than closed source but not FOSS and causes some problems.


This part is nonFoss
As such there app can't be hosted on FDroid.
This is "source viewable." Not FOSS.

https://m.primal.net/HLSg.png


hey Standard Notes users
they changed the license to a CC nonFOSS a few weeks ago.
No more updates possible from FDroid

total bummer. I liked that app (and sent them some monero)


Is there no way to just sort by Recent on primal.net web?
mobile Amethyst seems better.


it's like that with every new protcol.
it takes years for the incentive structure to get established and work itself out.

not to shit in the punch bowl but 90% of current development will stall and wither away.
its still cool right now. y'all have LN too and things seem promising.

remember "the Internet" is a decentralized protocol too. it was going to usher in a new modern Renaissance of information.
instead we got ISPs, social media and psyops.

its behooves us all to be skeptical and very careful. positivity is good but assuming victory is how we end up losing.


lol cheering on the LN fanboi circlejerk and shitting on actual data about bitcoin


makes sense to me.

the question is more about a race to the bottom to provide features to nostr users
and the resultant centralization and erosion of censorship resistance

i would like to see an reasonable economic incentive for individuals to operated relays

kinda doubt LN integration is enough but we'll see


i dunno man...


son
anyone who i need private comms with has my PGP key and knows how to use it

i wish encryption was the default too but am realistic


correct.

it is fungible.
bitcoin is not.


i can still text somebody who doesnt onboard with an SMS app. it's just not encrypted.

simple fact is that most people won't upgrade


how's your custodial centralized LN wallet working out for ya?


this looks perfect


because onboarding everyone is a pain


so you don't know shit
but are FUDing anyway

just another uninformed kid adopting bitcoin ethos as a substitute for a personality but unable to actually think critically.

you are the problem with bitcoin.

Nothing has been accomplished yet, despite all the new clients being developed etc.

Being a gambler, Matt has a tendency to get excited and ape in without caution.
Better too not trust anyone.

But I am also cautiously optimistic.


fyi
"a wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to"


this is the way


it really seems unlikely paid relays can be a solution without centralizing the network.

like DNMs. everyone ends up on one particular one because thats where everyone else is.


thanks! I'll give it a look.


depends when you go to sleep i suppose
I sleep at 10 and am usually starting my day before 4

days I can sleep in id love to sleep to 8 😂


thats too vague


hey nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
so you're bullish on this protocol right?

what exactly is the game theory around who is supposed to store all the data? lacking a centralized entity and all. what is the incentive for anyone to store all these memes?

asking you because i dont know who to ask.


GM


you can sleep until 8?!


is it really ordinals?


Monero adheres to 1st principles.
LN and ecash do not.

so no, they don't obsolete monero at all.


no
you are not


It takes care of contacts, calendar, photos and backups across all devices pretty well.


Nextcloud and Standard Notes fix this


oh come on
if the "thinker" is ALL the thoughts, codependently arising with everything
in what way can it be said to exist?

by your own description it has no separate reality. its just an arbitrary limit on the totality of what is.


The answer lies in investigating that thing which is asking the question.

Look into the nature of the one who knows and asks.

Can you find it? If you are really interested in knowing "God," I encourage you to try.


so you're only 50% a moron


if you lack the critical thinking ability to recognize monero shares bitcoins ethos

you are not only the problem with bitcoin,
you are also ngmi


lol needing state acceptance and a cooperative regulatory environment to function.

get your head straight


It is not.
Your ideas about what nothing is, those are something.

woot!


It is largely wrong to frame KYC shaming in the context of adoption.

KYC shaming is appropriate because bitcoiners completely fail to grasp the danger of regulatory capture.

If they understand the peril the network is in, they will be incentivized to pursue nonKYC options.

I refuse to accept KYC, and the associated cucking of the network by regulators, as inevitable.


👍
thanks for the constant updates

right now there are fewer XMR in circulation than there are BTC
AND the rate if inflation is lower until the halving

so yes, right now its more scarce.

try again


so bitcoin only offers temporary utility because there will be a time a wallets seed can be derived from an address?

and monero people are already talking about quantum resistance.

pretty weak FUD tbh

KYC Bitcoin: Individuals are on Lists

-----------------------------

What is KYC/AML?
	•	The acronym stands for Know Your Customer / Anti Money Laundering.
	•	In practice it stands for the surveillance measures companies are often compelled to take against their customers by financial regulators.
	•	Methods differ but often include: Passport Scans, Driver License Uploads, Social Security Numbers, Home Address, Phone Number, Face Scans.
	•	Bitcoin companies will also store all withdrawal and deposit addresses which can then be used to track bitcoin transactions on the bitcoin block chain.
	•	This data is then stored and shared. Regulations often require companies to hold this information for a set number of years but in practice users should assume this data will be held indefinitely. Data is often stored insecurely, which results in frequent hacks and leaks.
	•	KYC/AML data collection puts all honest users at risk of theft, extortion, and persecution while being ineffective at stopping crime. Criminals often use counterfeit, bought, or stolen credentials to get around the requirements. Criminals can buy "verified" accounts for as little as $200.

During the early days of bitcoin most services did not require this sensitive user data, but as adoption increased so did the surveillance measures. At this point, most large bitcoin companies are collecting and storing massive lists of bitcoiners, our sensitive personal information, and our transaction history.

Lists of Bitcoiners

KYC/AML policies are a direct attack on bitcoiners. Lists of bitcoiners and our transaction history will inevitably be used against us.

Once you are on a list with your bitcoin transaction history that record will always exist. Generally speaking, tracking bitcoin is based on probability analysis of ownership change. Surveillance firms use various heuristics to determine if you are sending bitcoin to yourself or if ownership is actually changing hands.  You can obtain better privacy going forward by using collaborative transactions such as coinjoin to break this probability analysis.

Fortunately, you can buy bitcoin without providing intimate personal information. Tools such as peach, hodlhodl, robosats, and bisq help; mining is also a solid option: anyone can plug a miner into power and internet and earn bitcoin by mining privately.

You can also earn bitcoin by providing goods and/or services that can be purchased with bitcoin. Long term, circular economies will mitigate this threat: most people will not buy bitcoin - they will earn bitcoin - most people will not sell bitcoin - they will spend bitcoin.

There is no such thing as KYC or No KYC bitcoin, there are bitcoiners on lists and those that are not on lists. 🤙
