real handy this one

now we just need more users

maximum privacy and some compromises

care to explain?

and I love a good airdrop - just let my enter my phone number and drivers license into X to join, then I can get my gen 0 gems and finally convert them into Yats to cash in my skyhammers

THEN and only then will we achieve mass adoption.

nothing against fluffy

sad to see localmonero / agoradesk go

a stalwart in the community.

regarding the github proposal:

recanman commented May 12, 2024 •

I've spoken to Alex. This will not happen.

Regarding alternatives, one trader mentioned bitvalve ( https://www.bitvalve.com/ ) which has p2p XMR trades [also I haven't used the site, it could be a huge pot of honey so the onus is fully on you]

although right now it's pretty sparse - the only bank xfer option is rupees but there's quite a few paypal for example.

hoping haveno goes smooth, can't wait for the XDEXs to reign supreme. will spin up a node & instance when it's out of beta

they got something done - how many people got a good service out of coinjoins?

plus they likely awoke many to the problem of ensuring privacy online - particularly in finance, and particularly in crypto

PS: This is good for Monero - sweats profusely

@Rucknium taking the lead on analysis here.

check the paper he wrote re: the first wave on his git here

https://github.com/Rucknium/misc-research/blob/main/Monero-Black-Marble-Flood/pdf/monero-black-marble-flood.pdf

then on this wave - fat input transactions filling blocks on XMR chain :

Thanks for mentioning my paper. It analyzed the privacy impact of an adversary owning many outputs. The transactions that are congesting the mempool/txpool now have many inputs. There may be a privacy impact of large many-input txs, but I don't have a clear idea of what it would be, and it's not the same as a standard black marble flood.

neither of those sites work

[–] blake@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Site looks to be back down for maintenance again.

Upcoming:

-2/3 multisig wallets instead of 3/4

-Inspection and confirmation of transfer details (recipients and amounts) before users sign the transfer

Got a question. Is there a way to open requests for sigmanero to open up certain bets? Eg/ US election

Secondly, I get a Bad SSL Cert alert when accessing the site via www.sigmanero.org - as opposed to just sigmanero.org - is this adjustable in your ssl cert settings as it looks dodgy to a newcomer

check out this episode of monerotalk

https://www.monerotalk.live/monerotalk-304

Roman Sterlingov arrested and charged - without sufficient evidence - for using / operating a bitcoin mixer.

Based purely on SPECULATIVE chainalysis, heuristics cannot guarantee that he was the user. However, as chainalysis is in bed with intelligence services it is their gold standard. Now there is legal precedent to admit SPURIOUS chainalysis evidence in court. As noob judges/juries don't in2 tech they are strong armed by the state into accepting it.

Therefore anyone who holds a tainted bitcoin (or any public ledger crypto) can be tainted by that coin IN LAW and charged for any crime that utxo ever got near.

The lawyers give a great rundown of the case here demonstrating how badly justice has failed.

-He KYC'd BTC in 2011 on Mt Gox -His utxo's bounced around a few wallets and ended up being used to buy the bitcoinfog domain [he is accused of buying the domain w/o proof] -He later pulled some BTC out of Bitcoinfog into KYC'd exchanges to off-ramp [he is accused of being paid by bitcoinfog for services w/o proof]

The fact that the ghouls are harvesting data from early days (eg/ 2011) that anyone who ever KYC'd anywhere can be linked by chainalysis with a crime. Hence a cooling effect on crypto writ large.
