Whenever possible, use QR codes from sub-addresses to share your wallet.

Alphanumeric character strings, as we know our wallets, are much easier for analysis companies and AI to collect and analyze.

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if you use instant crypto exchanges when you need to buy or sell Monero? I mean such services as Exolix, Trocador, simpleswap and similar?

Guys, Get on Nostr, there's a growing Monero community trolling Bitcoin maxis,

Garnet is a new nostr client to tip XMR,

for example: as Italy Raises Capital Gains Tax on Bitcoin from 26% to 42%:

https://primal.net/e/note1nsk54jclkjsx3sv4kmwhjmjept0v73rzascn02wt2zs2k6lqlctskltd57

I was interested on which the best way to accept XMR programmatically and made this concept payment processor that credits PGP based accounts with the XMR amount deposited like an exchange would have with sub addresses assigned to each account.

When withdrawing, It is a lot more difficult to implement as transfer RPC call cannot auto-calculate the fee.

Workaround:

Estimate transfer is sent with no relay

transfer2 with no relay is sent after deducting fee manually.

Checks for proper deduction and then uses relay_tx for the final step.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve this, especially if you have a better architecture in mind for the withdraw/deposit functionalities.

Hello anons, I've launched a new YouTube series investigating how Monero can be attacked by chain analysis. This is my attempt at rebooting Breaking Monero. The first three episodes are now available to view. I am also uploading on Odysee and Rumble! Links: https://odysee.com/@anti_moonboy:7 https://rumble.com/user/AntiMoonboy

What is Haveno?

Haveno is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading Monero (XMR) p2p. It offers a user-friendly, private, and secure way to trade without relying on centralized exchanges. Think of Haveno as a p2p Localmonero alternative.

Download Haveno

• Visit https://haveno-reto.com and download the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
• Some antivirus programs might flag Haveno due to the embedded Monero codebase. This is a false positive and happens because Monero code includes mining functionality. If you are concerned, review the source code on the Haveno-reto GitHub.
• If the software is blocked, you can add it as an exception or temporarily disable your antivirus during installation.

What is Haveno-Reto? Understanding the Network

You might be wondering, what’s the difference between Haveno and Haveno-Reto? Here’s a simple analogy:

• Haveno is the software.
• Haveno-Reto is the live p2p network you connect to for real trades on the mainnet (third-party, not by the Haveno devs).

Think of it like Minecraft: Minecraft is the software, while Hypixel is a server you connect to for multiplayer games. Similarly, Haveno is the software, and Haveno-Reto is the network where real trading happens.

Avoid Testnet Confusion

If you download the unconfigured client from the main Haveno-Dex GitHub repository, you’ll only connect to the Monero testnet. This means you won't be able to make real trades. To trade on the mainnet, make sure you're using the pre-configured Haveno-Reto client.

Haveno is live on mainnet and you can use it today but many people are still struggling to install it, mainly due to a lack of easily accessible information. This guide is supposed to address this.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this thread!

some of the changes include: upgrade to Monero v0.18.3.4 point release, polyseed support, removal of moneroworld and Samourai Wallet-operated XMR remote node, removal of in-app donate to developer feature, monerochan disabled by default, tx. fee selection tweaks and other miscellaneous stuff.

Gupaxx v1.5.1 important fixes

- Freeze after some time
- Xmrig could not be started after Xmrig-Proxy manually (Linux/MacOS)
- Node and Proxy custom args were not parsed correctly
- Node and Proxy custom args were applied if not empty in simple mode
- Unable to save node selection in Proxy Tab
- P2Pool status could not get green if verbosity level was below 3
- Crashes on Wayland

We should be worried.

There is a post on the Monero subreddit about this AllArk (honeypot) site that is advertising an openly illegal amount of cash for in cash trades. That breaks the first rule of the monero subreddit (no illegal discussion)

now, I don't give a fuck if someone wants to break the law, it isn't my business. But in my eyes this is clearly a fucking honeypot site and what's more as far as I could find on the site and as other users in that discussion noticed as well it

-doesn't even accept Monero-

So at this point, I'm wondering why the fuck the mods would allow this elitedragon guy to post this shit like this and how it has stayed up for 4 days.

Edit 2: nvm i see the differences now. Had to look farther in

"Canadian trucker problem" Monero fixes that, right?

If Monero can be a solution then it should prove itself when the time comes, not "in hindsight."

People need basic necessities like water. Can Monero address the problem?

To ignore the right to privacy is to fail to recognize the benefits it brings and the serious problems that arise when it is lost, both personally and collectively.

The famous phrase “knowledge is power” resonates in numerous movies and novels. If knowledge really is power, privacy acts as the means to manage that power. The more data one possesses about a person, the greater the ability to anticipate and manipulate his or her actions, thus granting considerable power over him or her. This power can be exercised by both governments and companies, whose priorities may not coincide with those of the individual.

Technological evolution has enabled both companies and governments to manage an unprecedented quantity and quality of information. Never before in history has so much been known about an individual. The concept of “surveillance capitalism,” introduced by Shoshana Zuboff in 2013, refers to the commercialization of personal data and the fundamental framework of the surveillance economy in which we live today. To understand the loss of privacy, it is necessary to understand how this system operates.

Devices such as computers, cell phones and smart objects are, in essence, data collectors. Every interaction with mobile reveals data about location, contacts, preferences, browsing history and more. Those interested in learning what information Google has about them can visit https://myactivity.google.com and find an extensive log of their online activities. The collection of personal data, especially on Android devices, is well known, but what is the purpose behind this collection?

The extracted data is analyzed, aggregated and sold to create user profiles ranging from gender and age to interests, religious beliefs and political orientation. There is no single entity in charge of this process; different companies, institutions and governments use similar collection and analysis models. Companies such as Facebook, Twitter, data-brokers, insurers and banks, as well as Cambridge Analytica, participate in this practice. The result is a profile that makes it possible to predict and potentially influence users' decisions.

Why is privacy so crucial?

Our behavior changes when we are aware that we are being watched or recorded. Moreover, if every action or word is documented, it limits our ability to change our minds. We could always be judged by what we said or did in the past. Human beings are not static; they evolve throughout their lives. However, society often does not accept that someone can change their perspective as a result of new experiences or information. A person with definite political views who then radically changes will be seen as inconsistent. Privacy gives us the freedom to evolve, to have second chances and to grow without being judged by the natural process of human development.

Fraud eXMR

An article on coinmarketcap caught my attention because Monero was mentioned. It mentioned a centralized exchange called yobit, which I had never heard of before, so I did some research.

It seems EXMR is offered there.

• https://yobit.net/cn/buy/EXMR#6M

Perhaps the websites concerned will be made aware that this is a scam, the name 'Monero' and 'XMR' are being used. coinmarketcap.com also has a certain responsibility due to its reach.

Fidelity hacked ($5.4 trillion asset manager)

Confirmed hacked: 77000+ customer records including license, social security numbers and personal information.

We should celebrate that this has nothing to do with Monero. BTCETF investors had better put a few XMR's in their wallets.

A few hours ago, we listened to the podcast (twitter) in which Fluffypony talked about merged mining with Tari, among other things. Anyway, it was also discussed that Google now also has information about saberhagen.eth and Google AI also processes email content. Google knows a lot. hf in Kenya opexodus77

A friendly reminder not to use public spying chains.eth or Google.

Thanks for Kaya (Monero cryptography researcher) for the research into the deanonymization of the Dero network!

Hi everyone, we're updating user guides on getmonero.org however we don't have IOS device to take screenshot to update the outdated screenshots. So I'm looking for volunteer for updating this guide.

The task:

1. Download Matrix messenger called Element
2. Open the app and take a screenshot
3. Click on register and follow this guide but use monero.social instead of https://matrix.monero.social
4. Take another screenshot and send to me (or us).

Then we will use screenshot(s) for the guide.
