»Illegale Transaktionen - Monero – Eine Kryptowährung entzieht sich jeglicher Kontrolle:
Die Kryptowährung Monero ermöglicht Terrorfinanzierung und den Handel mit kinderpornografischem Material im Darknet«

Kryptowährungen werden allgemein von Kriminellen genutzt und @monero ist so zu sagen deren @torproject und kann auch sinnvoll genutzt werden. Ich bin dem gegenüber trotzdem sehr kritisch.

I want to share my monero with the devoted workers over there at OF.

On Trocador it's possible that I will need to disconnect my VPN to redeem the card, and that's not an option.

With Cake wallet, there is a US-only mastercard, but I would like to make international payments too.

How do you pay for OF and the likes?

In-App Monero

This project is a great use-case for Monero, and sacrificed creating it's own cryptocurrency to help Monero's adoption.

It already features in-app Monero payments, and will be in the future decentralizing out the Wireguard nodes, starting with Monero influencers getting the first offers. Let's first understand what it is, then how it helps Monero.

Browser Fingerprints

LibreWolf is marketed as “anti-fingerprint”, but this web browser can’t even beat fingerprint-com’s free demo,

I closed Librewolf, then re-opened it. And that same ID comes up on repeat visits, even in private mode. But then Librewolf installed on a different VM: with the same default settings and version, produces a DIFFERENT UNIQUE fingerprint,

Brave

Brave Browser is also vulnerable to complete fingerprinting.

Brave’s “anti-fingerprint” mode does not change these results. Fingerprint.com is on THOUSANDS of websites, through their Javascript and API calls. TrustPilot, Western Union, TD-Ameritrade, Dropbox, & 6 thousand others. You’re very likely using sites with their services, without even knowing it.

Tor Browser Breaks Websites

The government made Tor Browser to protect them, and NOT for your privacy.

Even if Tor IPs aren't blocked, then blocking JavaScript in "strict" mode breaks many websites.

HydraVeil

HydraVeil has the goal of allowing you to separate your life into isolated browser fingerprint profiles.

3 pieces:

It's 3 things:

a) a replacement for virtual machines

b) a linux browser distribution

c) VPN or Tor->socks5 proxies, with isolated burner Monero billing

Replace Virtual Machines

HydraVeil launches isolated profiles. Each of these profiles has a second graphical environment that realistically creates a new screen display size, browser version, and matches your timezone to the IP address.

Load Speeds

We discussed in the articles linked below, how Cloudflare measures and records ping speeds, across multiple services.

VPN or Tor->Socks5 Proxies

With HydraVeil, each profile gets its own IP address, giving you a new load speed. These can be completely anonymous as it's browser-only, so a different VPN can be used system-wide. There's also Tor -> socks5 options for sites that block Tor, such as MoneroTown. Each gets it's own burner Monero billing.

Browser Distro

HydraVeil acts like a 2nd Linux distro for browsers. We removed the telemetry and spyware from these browsers, while as Firefox from other Linux distros has malware by default.

Monero's Use-Case:

Monero's unparalleled privacy makes it the strongest choice for powering this VPN, since it provides the best cover for which profiles are you. By offering such incredible utility, HydraVeil gives an excellent use-case for Monero adoption, and directly encourages users to keep an update-to-date sync'ed wallet for regular use.

XMRBazaar

This is a large and ambitious project, especially for an organization without KYC bank accounts, that is registered purely with XMRBazaar, as a legal system. We seek to encourage awareness of the Bazaar, and establish a parallel economy outside traditional restrictive institutions.

Resources to Learn More

Consider taking some time to learn more from our documentation and website. And try it out for under 0.00306 XMR. https://simplifiedprivacy.com/why/this-vpn-browser-combo.html

I'm new to everything. Trying to spool up.

Hi guys! Good morning/afternoon/evening! Well, the title already explains everything, we need more TRULY decentralized marketplaces for Monero, I really feel that if we depend on XMRBaazar we're in big trouble... Some I can mention:

• The site is not Decentralized and can be blocked/closed;
• We don't have .onion and .i2p (which should be ESSENTIAL). (There are probably more, but I forgot).

My idea is that it is possible to create an open-source marketplace protocol that works together with Monero and anonymity networks (such as TOR, I2P and others, take a look at particl, as we can use it as an example), we have to make sure that Monero can ALWAYS be used regardless of what happens (and preserving the privacy and anonymity of EVERYONE), that's why I'm making this post as a place where the community can discuss this, I hope we have good results, because Monero is not just code, it's YOU (and me) who want a future where everyone can sell and buy what they want without discrimination and tracking, Monero is fundamental for us to have a future with freedom and with Anonymity and privacy of our information.

Long live Monero and all our amazing community full of great researchers to ordinary civilians who want their finances to be private.

Monero is for capitalists,
Monero is for the oppressed,
Monero is for the oppressors,
Monero is for the little people,
Monero is for the kings,

...

Monero is peer-to-peer digital cash.
Monero Means Money

Context

As most of you probably know coinbase recently got hacked and personal information including customers ID's, phone numbers, emails, home addresses, balances and transaction histories are now in the hands of the hackers.

These attackers now know exactly how much crypto people hold and where they live.

This breach clearly shows the dangers of using KYC exchanges and why no-KYC might be the best solution.

According to the latest rumor, some Asian darknet overlords are responsible.

They have billions in non-fungible digital money, and they are moving it into Monero because the Alphabet boys came down on them.

Haowang Guarantee was larger than the Silk Road, larger than Hydra, just the "largest illicit online marketplace to have ever operated", with $27 Billion of transactions since launching in 2021.

Let me answer that. We need a hidden underground forum that doesn't autoblock any subject heading that ends in a question, one that allows Tor and VPN log ins, one without a stupid Reddit CQS (Contributor Quality Score) that rates experienced posters with tens of thousands of karma points as "low quality" just for logging in from an ip address Reddit doesn't like or for having an email address that doesn't end in yahoo, gmail or outlook.com. One where you don't have to PM a moderator and beg them to allow your post, one without bots (created by Reddit and moderators here) crawling for reasons to block your post, one that doesn't censor free speech, one that doesn't have moderators who get lost in the weeds telling us that according to section 5, subsection A, paragraph 4, line 57, this or that subject is off topic "but I'll allow it anyway", losing sight of the fact that monero is supposed to be about freedom. How about one that won't get rid of PMs and force chat upon us in June? Lastly, how about a forum where we won't have to jump through all of these hoops for the privilege of having all of the great knowledge of our discussions here (that we provide to Reddit for free) be sold to Google for millions of dollars to train Gemini, their LLM AI.

Oh, and one that doesn't kill 3rd party apps.

So are we all stupid for remaining here? I think so. The only reason I'm still here is because 345,601 other XMR users refuse to migrate to monero.town or some other place and this is the only place my posts get any real exposure.

This is only Number Go Up!

This is not real adoption!

.... (other similar truths that seem like nonsense right now)

NGL it's terrible to see the number go up exactly when you have no xmr left...

I am seeing a lot of posts about technical issues, like:

• federation issues
• federation issues again
• and my own personal issue whenever I login to this instance and have cookies enabled

I saw that the migration to the latest lemmy version was coming in the next weeks (?).

Is there a need to ask the community to pitch in some donations or tech support?

Could this all be an elaborate plan from a state actor to takeover our 100-people community of uncensorable monero fans? ;-)

There was a time when we were still trying to figure-out what to do when Binance or other CEXs delist Monero.

There was a time when we were still discussing when would p2p DEXs be available for Monero.

Haveno is live and shining at retoswap.com

monero.town is a server in the 'fediverse'. The software used by this server tries to be the equivalent to reddit. There is an equivalent to Youtube too, called peertube.

Servers you might like: peertube.wtf tilvids.com https://voluntarytube.com/videos/browse

• They're dropping Civitai because of the salacious material being sold on the site
• Perfect XMR use case?
• Will we see a sudden spike in demand for XMR?
• Anyone know how much money Civitai is taking in from users (not capital investors)?
• Every day we're seeing more and more need for unstoppable, uncensorable, sound money!

When checking in other instances, like lemmy.zip, we can see that monero.town has federation problems. Not all posts are shown (very few).

This is a big problem for the fediverse. My instance admin told me that they contacted the monero.town admin about it but didn’t receive any answer. Monero.town runs an old version of lemmy as well

I’m wondering if we should create a new Monero community on another instance that properly federates. It would bring a lot.

Combining a finite supply, anti-inflationary mechanisms, and military-grade encryption strategies positions Monero as exceptional in current inflationary monetary conditions.

Monero demonstrates rising recognition based on its recent market activities.

I've been noticing some delays with Monero (XMR) transactions lately. Confirmations seem to be taking longer than usual. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any insights or updates would be appreciated. Stay safe.

I was inspired by this post to try to think in XMR instead of United States Dollar or any other fiat currency.

This user script will detect anything that looks like $XX.XX from web pages, and send it to the coinmarketcap api to lookup the current XMR price.

Privacy beware

You are sending any dollar value that appears in your browser to Coin Market Cap including values that might appear in your banking websites. If you don't want Coin Market Cap to know how much you have in the bank, then edit the script to only work on white listed websites or blacklist certain websites.

Be careful with using user scripts, do not trust me or anyone else that tells you to paste some code in a user script on your browser. Please read the source code, it isn't that long.

How to install

1. Install a user script extension such as Violent Monkey
2. Click the Violent Monkey button
3. New Script
4. Paste the code from the gist
5. Get a coinmarketcap api and paste it on the appropriate line
6. Save and close

Dollar values will now appear as XMR values!

...We further identify and report on a privacy vulnerability in the recently popularized Haveno exchange, demonstrating that certain Haveno trades could be detected, allowing transactions to be linked across the Monero and Bitcoin blockchains.

Tari Mainnet is Live! (MT 350)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW:Douglas Tuman has a discussion about Tari, a new blockchain project, with the founders Naveen and Ricardo (@FluffyPony). The conversation covers multiple aspects of the project's development and launch. Naveen emphasizes Tari's unique features, including its accessibility and user-friendly interface through Tari Universe. He explained that Tari offers default confidentiality powered by a minimal implementation, making it different from other protocols like Ethereum or Solana. Ricardo detailed the technical aspects of Tari's privacy features, comparing them to Monero but noting that Tari's privacy model is intentionally different. Both founders highlighted the relationship with Monero, explaining that Tari's merge mining feature has already contributed to increasing Monero's hash rate to an all-time high. They emphasized that Tari is not competing with Monero but rather complementing it in the ecosystem.
