It's Saturday morning, and it's a great time to be a Monero holder. We have CLSAG coming in one week! This will decrease transaction size and increase verification speeds by ~20%. We also have had the most active transaction week in Monero's history, and our price continues to slowly and realistically climb.
We don't like pajeets/moonboys. But if you are looking for a cryptocurrency that has fundamental usecase, then look no further. Noobies feel free to ask dumb questions and we will help you out.

unironically fake news.
ciphertrace made the claim that they could trace monero, so the monero devs had the ceo on a podcast and he wasn't able to answer any of the actual technical questions. In short, this is one of those wastes of taxpayer dollars in which a company convinces a bunch of dinosaurs in the government that they can track something that literally can't be directly tracked.
There are ways to build up metadata leakages over time. This is really the only way of "tracing" Monero, but even then it requires months of surveillance and poor opsec on the part of the target. For example, if a KYC exchange colludes with the government (which you should assume) then things like timing analysis, ip addresses, and poisoned outputs can build probabilities linking transactions. Check out Breaking Monero on youtube if you want more information on this.
But to date, there has not been a single person arrested because Monero was tracked, and the reasons for this are pretty obvious once you understand the ways Monero works (ring sigs, ring ct, and stealth addresses).

Metadata leakage is really the culprit here and Monero can never solve that.
But if we are talking about a normie withdrawing money from an exchange to a personal wallet? The feds would have absolutely no way of knowing where the money goes after. It's impossible.

you are so wrong about that. People need to be tricked into using privacy. The amount of time it has taken the dark net to switch to Monero is proof of this. Onboarding newbies to something like zcash is hilarious because the majority of them hold and transact in transparent addresses because they do not understand the technology. Google anon sets you fucking tard. Zcash has no anon sets with their shielded transactions and therefore those stick out like a sore thumb.
Of course, I don't know if pedos use zcash or not but if you look at overall adoption of shielded transactions (EVERY MONERO TRANSACTION IS SHIELDED) then it becomes clear where people are going for privacy.
look at this chart: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-xmr-zec.html
That's all that needs to be said here. People who are actively seeking privacy go to Monero, and the growth shows it. We are hitting 17k anon sets of fully shielded transactions. You have like 50 daily. GG.
>blockstream
If you think Monero adoption isn't going to bring in even more innovation then I don't know what to tell you. Monero has been able to create a more user friendly, safer, more adopted, and more valuable crypto currency than zcash and it was all grass roots without any support from the mainstream.

how does your point still stand? Nobody uses zcash for its privacy. So therefore anybody who wants to use a crypto for transactions will use the crypto with the most liquidity (Bitcoin). Otherwise, if they want privacy, they will go to Monero. Zcash is therefore useless. Over time, Monero's usecases will grow because of it's solutions to scaling, it's faster transactions, it's lower fees, and most importantly it's adoption. The current big factor is the dark net. Soon we will have atomic swaps. Later we will be the swiss bank for the layman. There are many others. Actual digital cash is within reach.
>no they don't.
Yeah, they do. Try explaining zksnarks to somebody who just learned about cryptocurrency. You have no clue what you are talking about. People don't know anything about blockchain tech, and most people think Bitcoin is private. People still post on darknet forums asking about Bitcoin tumblers. They need a protocol that does all the work for them. Monero does this. Zcash does not. And I can actually prove this with the graph I showed you.
>you clearly don't
You have absolutely no comeback to the fact that nobody uses zcash for privacy. Literally none. And because of that Zcash is worthless. Keep posting in these xmr generals. I'll keep showing you the growing transactions and then laughing at you.

>> No.23181261

>>23181109
Once you send Monero off of an exchange to your wallet then it becomes untraceable. So find an exchange where you can buy Monero (Binance should work) and then make sure to pull the Monero to your private wallet. If you are okay with knowing that the exchange knows that at x date you purchased Monero then you are good to go (and really there is nothing wrong with purchasing Monero, as it can be used to pay for many things that aren't illegal, as well as anything that Bitcoin can be paid for with a service called xmr.to).
If for whatever reason you can't find Monero, you can always buy Bitcoin and then use a service called Morphtoken that uses an exchange for you and swaps the Bitcoin for Monero. Morphtoken then sends that Monero to the wallet address you give it for your own personal wallet.
> im also a poor student with like max 10 bucks per week available, will i actually be able to make any profit by trading with such a small sum?
I would dollar cost average invest over a long period of time then. Maybe budget ten dollars a week and then every month make a 40 dollar investment? or a 10 dollar investment every week? Crypto is very volatile so this help protects you from swings.

Yeah so Bitcoin uses a transparent/public ledger. This means that every transaction can be directly followed on the block explorer. You can try it out for yourself. So if you make a transaction that amount can be followed to whatever wallet is sent to, and from there it can be observed. So if an adversary knows your wallet address they have direct access to every transaction you have made or received.
Monero uses stealth addresses to protect the receiver. The public address you have for your Monero wallet doesn't directly link to your wallet. The Monero public address is mixed into the transaction, and it is later unlocked by your private key from your wallet. In the scenario we are discussing where you buy Monero from an exchange and send to your wallet, the exchange would know that you sent a certain amount of monero to a monero wallet address, but that's all they would ever know.

But why aren't the feds going after the many known developers who are directly implementing the code? They are just as important to the project. We have atomic swaps forthcoming. This would be priority number one in your schizo world.

He fundamentally can't hold a conversation and frequently misinterprets things without realizing (e.g. confusing blockchain layers [base vs second layer] with attack vectors) or not understanding how Monero works (by misinterpreting what that Monero researcher said how Monero isn't a solution for all opsec) and he also keeps mentioning CIA, even though the deep state is far more complicated (cia is mostly foreign intervention...homeland security and fbi would probably be more relevant to what he is saying. Or the nsa...or the mossad.)
Frankly he's a cunt who sounds like he overdosed on redpills. Having skepticism is good but declaring things as fact such as the phd math researchers were contacted by glow niggers, or that xmr got heat from hayes catching out is dumb derailment fud, and that's not even getting into his misunderstandings of the technology he thinks he understands.
>>23184832
Bitcoin transactions are all recorded on a public ledger. So if a transaction was made that is flagged as being illegal, the bitcoins used in that transaction become tainted. Therefore exchanges can freeze tainted Bitcoin if they are told by a chain analysis company that a wallet was used on the dark net or by bitcoin tumblers. This is already happening.

again retards. the xmr dev team can hold the coin together but holding it afloat is nowhere near of being able to sail forward into better privacy to achieve absolute privacy that can overthrow tyranny of gov players who are the real actors imprisoning and spying on people. not ur local grocery store seller. just as we got bigger and started to play in big boys league with more advanced privacy they BOTH quit out of the blue. no post why without reasoning. think about it retards. if u dedicated years to something and were respected in community that funded u. are u so retarded to not see the psyops of no proper reasoning in an explainer post missing and not happening???

that's not how stealth addresses work. You can't follow them. In fact, you can make a new stealth address for every single transaction. All the exchange would know is that you sent monero off of an exchange at a certain time but they would have no idea if you sent it to your personal wallet or someone else.
Monero doesn't have taint. You can't verifiably prove that monero was sent from person a to b.
Second, because of the mandatory mixins, the transaction you sent can then be used by any other node in the network, meaning it will appear in mix ins for other people.
You fundamentally do not understand how Monero works, yet you continue to act like you do.

No, if you wanted to be an adversary, then you would have to match the cpu power of at least 50 percent of the mining network. This is a lot more than 10000 miners, and would cost tens of millions each day. A very simple task based on your amateurish opinion.

Dude you are thinking of ASICS. Most monero miners are independent people who have CPU running as a rig. These aren’t warehouses. The reason they join those two main pools is because it gives them the best chance at making profit.
I don’t mine myself but these pools have a reputation in the community over the past 7 years. If they were to be “taken over” people would move their hash rate elsewhere. The bottom line is to successfully 51% attack monero you will have to match the hashing power of the miners. And this isn’t a simple task which you are deluded in thinking.

and as u said. they decide whom they trust with delegating their voting power. they dont get to decide what someone will do with that power over network. so why is a decentralized system being operated on delegated trust in centralized authority? and why does that authority hold 35% of entire decentralized network? a decentralized system means all participants decide with ther vote WITHOUT DELEGATING IT TO A CONSOLIDATED AND OR AGGREGATED AUTHORITY.

warehouses have gpus and cpus retard. its irrelevant if pow has asic or not. its a mining device. big fish get discounts on huge amounts of units. be it asic or cpu or gpu. big fish joins pools to be more profitable because its unprofitable to solo mine vs 35% pool. most minera arent independant because big fishes have mass unit discount and basically free electricity. unlike 90% of world that pays big amounts compared to mass miners making them heavily outscale independent miners. THEY WOULD MOVE THEIR HASHRATE BUT THE TAKEOVER WOULD HAPPEN AND IT WOULD HAVE TO HARD FORK LIKE ETH U MORON. its value would go to 0. u only have to match 51% of power if u wish to join the network instead of parasiting it. then u just take control of whats already set up.

The block is mined by whoever mines the block. Large pools incentivize this by combining the hashpower of everyone in the pool and therefore increasing the chance at a block reward. Independent miners, especially those with weaker rigs, join these large pools for this very reason.
What you aren’t getting is that miners have a financial interest to make sure they get the right information. If they were to purposely collude to disrupt the network, then people would lose money. Why would anybody join a pool with dishonest actors? If the servers for one of the major pools was attacked then miners would move to a different pool. And as usual, these blocks would be mined by either a pool or a solo miner. Pools combine hashing power. It’s not like there is some president who views the block result and says “oh ho hum I don’t like the transactions so nay I don’t approve”. It’s all about hashing power.
Why this is bad though is if the servers were to get attacked, then miners would have to move. This is inconvenient and temporarily lowers the hash rate. But that’s it.
To take over the network you need to 51% attack it. And to do that you need a lot of hash power which requires a lot of money.

>> No.23189258

>>23188331
>why the fuck would anyone put millions or multiple millions on a decentralized network in hands of two parties having 70% of control over it????
They don't have control of it, they produce the majority of the blocks. If your Monero is parked there is nothing they can do to it. If you made a recent transaction, theoretically it could be double spent but that is not going to happen either.

These are two public mining pools made up of thousands of miners contributing their hash power for a share of the block rewards. If the block rewards stop getting payed out even for a short time, people will notice and move their hash rate somewhere else.

Pulling off a double spend requires creating a longer parallel chain in secret so that in 10 or 30 or 100 blocks, whenever the other party feels safe that their xmr is confirmed and they hand over the million dollars of cash or whatever, then you unleash your longer chain of blocks that you were mining in secret without broadcasting to the network. Then there will be a reorg and you get your xmr back too. That only works if you have the physical hash power because if 70% of the networks hash power doesn't mine a block for 30 blocks, everyone is going to know something is up and move their hash power immediately which is very quick and easy to do.

>if xmr had actual real privacy the value of that would reflect in distribution of hashrate being very spread out because even having 1% of network piece of true real absolute private digital cash would be priceless
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

so if pools combine hashpower they are centralized points.
if they are centralized points then its best thing to attack to gain % of network
so small fish delegates their power to a centralized stronger authority


seems like a centralized system. lets check hashrate distribution of that system. oh 35% by one entity. almost like politics.

miners have financial interest to join whatever is most profitable. they wouldnt join a pool with a dishonest actor. they would join a pool with a dishonest actor pretending to be honest one and gaining more and more network % to consume the network.

directly no control over xmr of whales. they have indirect control due to "decentralization" in which every member is affecting other member of that system. how much depends on their % of the system. in this case 35% by one or 70% by two.

if u have control of 70% of network hashrate u can disable it by pretending its mining. u dont have to control it. disabling is enough.

pooled pow mining is an eternal deal with the devil where u give up your soul and have no way out. the bigger that network gets the bigger the slash back of collapse. by the block it only gets worse.
if a decentralized system grows without decentralization/spread of major entities growing proportionally with it then its becoming more and more centralized.

they can slow the network down while they do a short leverage with million of dollars. they can take hashrate offline. all of those affect the price in negative way. they have control and means as well as knowledge of what to do for self gain to cause NETWORK WIDE EFFECT DUE TO SCALING OF CONTROLED % OF A DECENTRALIZED SYSTEM.

Not for long, no. You still haven't grasped the point that these are pools, not physical miners. Whatever the doomer youtubers are telling you about btc 51% attacks don't apply in this situation. If a group of Chinese had physical control of 70% of the hash power like with bitcoin then you would be at their mercy until you change hash algorithms. Since these are only pools they need to do exactly what their miners expect them to do or they will be out if business immediately. They would have one shot at a small reorg for the price 0.7% of all future xmr mining rewards and that's if they even manage to get organised and cooperate. I'd say you're crazy but you're just misinformed and dumb.

all of u got hard psyopsed into believing 51% double spend attack is what the goal is. thats implies scorching the entire network control down for one shot at printing cash in plain sight. which is completely opposite of what someone with goal of gaining control wants. they want the system to keep growing since they obtained control. not take it down. they want to remain hidden in plain sight. not expose themselves and destroy the whole network.

why is this so hard to grasp?

again with double spend. do u understand what delay in block or hashrate means? theres as many attack vectors on network as there are properties of it. not just double spend.

i never said second pool will be created in times of confusion retard. they mine where its most profitable. and thats spot nr 2 on hashrate.


pools are like politicians retard. they do what miners or voters want. but lowest amount of it just enough to keep them. miners dont care if they individually lose 1$ of profit. but that $1 of profit multiplied by 35% of hashrate is millions in profit and same amount of network effect
its multiplication by mass % that matters. 10% tax or 10.1% tax is 0.04$ difference but multiply that by 35% of state and thats billions. so is 35% of network. thats how scaling works. a miner is individual entity who has 0.000001% of network. and so is other miner with about same %. they are competing against eachother in a pooled mining system which means they will never union because both want % for themselves. but pool is the one who combines millions of 0.0001% miner votes giving it control over network.


nice decentralization faggot. delegation of power means u are giving it away based off trust for future positive outcome. meaning u are stripped of it until next checkpoint aka block for ur share. what happens inbetween miners dont give a fuck aslong as their share is received. if they cared alot about their power they wouldnt delegate it to pool. because then they would be aware u can abuse that collected pooled power to impact the network for self profit if u cause intentional effects on it which u can due to miners not caring abour having constant power. just paychecks

they do when they want to since they are in control. they can drop a block. they can publish that block from another low hashrate pool and steal it. no one would know.

>And every "attack" you suggested would reduce their profits so they aren't going to happen.
as i said. their individual profit is reduced by amount in 3rd decimal which doesnt impact them individually.
but combined with huge scaling of % wide network hashrate that results in millions of $

keep trying little worm you are almost on ground level instead of being insignificant nothing underground one.

I refuted it in other replies since that post was too convoluted for any if it to be worth directly quoting. The guy is literally in his own world. I used to think schizos were fun but I grew to hate them when I realised they just waste your time.

Again, no.

>no one would know
Many, many people would know.

>their individual profit is reduced by amount in 3rd decimal
It doesn't work like this...

>doesnt impact them individually
...but it would impact them. There are people running large operations pushing for every micro gain they can get out of their miners. They care a lot more than users and the market which is the only thing that matters fuck you I keep repeating this fucking get it through your head

I could shoot someone in the head right now, I have the power but I'm not going to because that would be retarded. Pools fucking with things would be even more retarded.

data is valued based on its accuracy and security retard. xmr and btc are just ledgers of imaginary coins made from valid hashes. BTC cant tell me the price of gold at 9.11. date. chainlink can with a 99.99999% guarante of it being true.

why cant u prove what you keep on parroting worm?

is pool source ran on server with closed source code none can verify? even if its open source you cant know thats the code running publishing the block.

ur refutal to this is "Again,no"
where is some solid ground? pools have luck property. literally a casino. sometimes its bad luck. sometimes its intentional bad luck and random 0.5% share hashrate pool finds the block. but that block is stolen off main pool and pool owners keep the reward. ofc they wont publish it from main pool.

so far u keep barking but cant bite. at all.

>>23191195
why absolute scorched earth scenarios? as i said before. its about hiding in plain sight so u dont lose control. ur scenario is nothing but u fuming to the point of mental breakdown because ur little privacy project is worthless shit.

can u verify what code is ran on pool server publishing the block to network? yes or no?
