On the 51% attack on #Monero, @molly0xfff delivers context. As she always does when it comes to topics like this. Thank you, Molly! https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=monero-51-attack

I just signed up! 🆕

Used to Twitter but I wanted to try out Mastodon to see what it's like. I heard people hate cryptocurrency here but I am interested in the technology behind it. 👩‍💻

Follow and chat if you are interested. 🤠

Best way to buy Monero for begineers?

I am trying to buy Monero for the first time, but I don’t know which way to the best and easiest and hoping to get some guidance. I have Cake Wallet and I can purchase Monero through there, but I can’t tell if they have the best rates. I also came across Haveno, which is a decentralized Monero exchange, but I don’t know if that something I should use. There is also Trocador. Of all of these options, which one would be the best for begineer? Note: I am just trying to purchase a small amount of Monero ($10-20), nothing big.

@zkat As a privacy tool can't it be used for good? like here and countless other cases monero could be used to defy oppressors that want to control what we buy or who we associate with. Investing in crypto and using crypto to buy things are two different things I would never treat crypto as an investment bc the ppl who lose most from that are the most desparate and vulnerable; ofc theres pointless projects tied 2 new coins that exist just 2 pump & dump scam ppl but thats not this.

@zkat also the mining algorithm for #monero (XMR) isn't easily parallelizable so its not profitable to buy up data centres worth of gpus to mine it. The mining process focuses on single cpu cores, also the coins have fungibility meaning that theres no such thing as dirty money like there is with #bitcoin every xmr coin is identical with no history

If people want to do something about the itch.io thing, a number of us engineers, artists, and community members are gathering together to plan for and build a real alternative that's genuinely resistant to this kind of censorship in a way centralized platforms with singular payment processor relationships simply can't be

@zkat U could create a system 2 make it easier 4 creators 2 accept #Monero (XMR) a truly private cryptocurrency, #bitcoin & #ethereum r talked about by the media as if theyre private but theyre actually pseudonymous, if u have the persons address u have their entire transaction history, but not with monero. Using it there would be no higher authority (except the state) that could enforce regulations on ur sales, & even then it would have to b serious surveillance bc the network itself is opaque

Itch.io has had to shadow ban all erotic and NSFW content after pressure from payment providers https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content . Payment providers are increasingly become censors of content raising issues around neutrality of banking and payment systems. #censorship #visa #mastercard

@JamesBaker and the fact that sites do lick their boots instead of adoping #Monero is empowering them.

⁂ Article

I2P is essential to increase Monero's robustness

Hi guys!
Good morning/afternoon/evening!

I believe that Monero needs I2P to become more immutable and private (Tor is good, but not perfect, Sam Bent has shown that the Tor browser has problems and very suspicious developers, and we hope that the Tor network does not suffer from this, but we must always take precaution, especially that Tor depends on government funding, this can be a problem for many), my ideas are to put the most critical infrastructure on I2P, this infrastructure is:

  • getmonero.org

x.com/monero

  • Haveno-Reto / RetoSwap.com

x.com/HavenoDEX/

x.com/RetoSwap

simplex.chat/contact/#%2F%3Fv=2-7&smp=smp%3A%2F%2…

  • monero.com Wallet (and CupCake cold wallet), Stack Wallet, Monerujo (and SideKick cold wallet)

x.com/stack_wallet

support@cakewallet.com

www.instagram.com/cakewallet/

twitter.com/MoneroCom

mailto:help@monerujo.io

x.com/monerujowallet

  • Sync Monero Blockchain via I2P (see this bounty: …monero.social/…/0-000m-implementation-of-monero-… )

  • marketplaces like XMRbaazar and NeroShop (NeroShop seems to solve this by working through I2P, I recommend we support NEROSHOP in addition to XMRbaazar)

github.com/layters/testshop

x.com/xmrbazaar

matrix.to/#/#xmr-bazaar:monero.social

contact@xmrbazaar.com

So what can we do?

What we can do:

  • go on X (formerly Twitter) and other project social networks (and contact via e-mail and SimpleX), Monero Wallets and Haveno-Reto/RetoSwap.com and spread this to more Monero-based projects.

Example message:

“Hello! Me and the Monero community would like to support the implementation of I2P to the ecosystem, to make the ecosystem even more robust and resistant to nation-state attacks, and since insert project name is part of the ecosystem, we want it to have greater implementation of I2P, this will be seen with great encouragement by the community, so if you want to help DISCENTRALIZED, FUNGIBLE MONEY AND TRANSFORM FINANCIAL FREEDOM, then use I2P as a way for us to increase the resilience of the Monero network.”

I hope to see getmonero.org on I2P soon ;)

A few more things I’d like to see on getmonero.org:

  • It should not use Cloudflare (we mustn’t forget that CF practically grew out of a Honeypot);

  • Not depend on github and use some decentralized way to host the code and use IPFS or Radicle.

Thanks to read!

But ignoring the difference in semantics of full anonymity (#Monero) vs. buyer anonymity+seller taxability (#GNUTaler) — how would you describe the effect of starting to accept payments in Monero?

Did you see a sudden increase in donations?

To all developers of #FOSS:

I'm interested in your experiences and opinions of funding #FOSS. How to maintain freedom and secure financial stability.

Which strategies work, which don't? Like: grants from public institutions, donations from companies, donations from users, subscription models, ad revenue, sponsors, etc. etc.
What are your experiences with those strategies?

And: Do you think an anonymous payment system like #GNUTaler, along with its anonymous subscription service capabilities, could be helpful and to what degree?

What other ideas do you have?

I'm looking forward to answers, comments and shares!

@oec

Taler is not anonymous. In the past, this fact was stated on their main page, but it seems that they removed the text. Instead, they now advertise the system as taxable: "when using Taler, merchant's revenue is transparent for tax collection authorities". Which means, our confidential transaction data can be viewed by anyone who is considered an authority and can be leaked at any moment. It is like end-to-end encryption with a backdoor.

An example of a truly anonymous payment system is #Monero, which protects senders and recipients equally. I use it to receive donations to my FOSS projects, it's a great tool.
