Welcome to the /XMR/ Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's most widely adopted privacy coin.Monero payments are anonymous, low-fee by design and fully fungible, meaning users can send XMR globally without issue and receive XMR without having to worry about tainted coins. Battle-tested privacy tech (Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses and RingCT) ensures that critical TX data cannot be gleaned from the Monero blockchain. Thus by default, the TX history of all Monero users is kept hidden from the prying eyes of adversaries, with TXs being optionally transparent via the aid of a view key.Monero algorithmically ensures low TX fees by employing a dynamic (elastic) block size that can "stretch" to easily accommodate sudden TX spikes.Monero's bespoke mining algorithm, RandomX, is optimized for devices using general-purpose CPUs e.g. desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, keeping the barrier to entry low and ASICs out of the equation.Monero's tail emission - 0.6 XMR every block forever - financially incentives for-profit miners to keep mining, helping boost long-term network security. This constant linear inflation asymptotically trends to zero and is offset somewhat by a steady rate of coin loss.Monero has thus far proven to be the only altcoin capable of overcoming BTC's network effect by driving it out of the darknet economy BTC dominated for over 10 years. Monero is now also starting to overtake BTC in clearnet commerce as well.

START MINING IN P2POOL>START MINING IN P2POOLSTART MINING IN P2POOL>START MINING IN P2POOLP2Pool combines the advantages of pool and solo mining; you still fully control your Monero node and what it mines, but you get frequent payouts like on a regular pool. P2Pool has no central server that can be shut down/blocked because it uses a separate blockchain to merge mine with Monero. There's no pool admin that can control what your hashrate is used for or decide who can mine on the pool and who can't. It's permissionless!Decentralized pool mining (P2Pool) is pretty much the ultimate way to secure a PoW coin against 51% attacks. Once P2Pool reaches & maintains 51%+ of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.Although many inexperienced miners think that bigger pools give better profits, this is absolutely NOT the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL FASTER & EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE GUPAX GUI. USES TRUSTED REMOTE NODES BY DEFAULT!!!!1. Download the *bundled* version of Gupax for your OS here: https://gupax.io/downloads/2. Extract somewhere (Desktop, Documents, etc)3. Launch Gupax4.

>How to *safely* acquire, store and spend XMRAn optimal XMR user set-up involves 2 separate wallets: an offline cold wallet (savings account) and an online hot wallet (chequing account) for everyday spending. XMR amounts larger than a few hundred dollars worth should not be stored on a hot wallet for obvious reasons. So ideally, you'll want to direct all payments/donations to your cold wallet by default and then transfer smaller amounts over to your hot wallet as necessary.Relying on 3rd party hardware wallets comes with certain security caveats so they are not recommended. Instead, its surprisingly easy to engineer a very robust storage solution yourself using readily available hardware: a laptop and a smartphone.>LaptopThis will be running Featherwallet and must be *permanently* disabled from ever connecting to the internet again! That means physically removing the M.2 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi card and gumming up the ethernet port with superglue.OS should be Linux rather than Windows, preferably a Debian-based lightweight distro. Encrypting the relevant user directory with LUKS is recommended but not essential.It must have a functional webcam.>SmartphoneThis can be your primary device. It will host both your hot wallet e.g. Cake, Monerujo, etc and the NERO view-only wallet that is paired with your laptop.To set everything up: https://4rkal.com/posts/feathernero/NOTE: if you don't have a laptop you can use another smartphone and install the ANON wallet onto it, its essentially the same thing but with somewhat weaker security guarantees. Video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJqYzZyqyno>In a nutshell- you accept all (substantial) payments to your cold wallet.- you monitor incoming payments on NERO.- you initiate the transfer of funds from your cold wallet to hot wallet on NERO and sign the TX on your laptop via QR codes.- you spend the funds and help grow the XMR economy.FYI this is the most secure storage solution currently available.
>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainableWash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013.>Wash Trading 1011. create/maintain the illusion of high volume2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bagWhen the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.

Can you still swap LTC to XMR on cake wallet? what are the fees like and is it safe?
>>59663172With monero if liquidity is a problem, how will it ever be mainstream, especially if its banned in several exchanges. It hasnt really pumped the last few bull runs, Its been flucutating around the same price range.Do you ever expect it to hit, $30,000?
>>59663752>dump the price back to .0005 and I'll put all my eth inDamn, its going back up.
>>59664128>Can you still swap LTC to XMR on cake wallet? what are the fees like and is it safe?Yes, fees are bearable if you're not a from the turd world, and yeah.
>>59664144>With monero if liquidity is a problem, how will it ever be mainstream, especially if its banned in several exchanges.DEXs are the way forward, just a matter of building up liquidity. And lol crypto will never be mainstream, that's just wishful thinking and marketing. Outside of the counter-economy, nobody actually uses or needs crypto.>It hasnt really pumped the last few bull runsNothing has pumped organically, this market is an unmitigated clown show, its all smoke, mirrors and FOMO. And stupidity, copious amounts of utter stupidity.>Its been flucutating around the same price range.Do you ever expect it to hit, $30,000?No, its expected to eventually drop back down to $30 and stay there forever, XMR truly is a terrible investment and you shouldn't put a single cent into it. BTC, on the other hand, is going up forever, it's guaranteed to hit $1 million by the end of the decade. And all you need to do is buy and hold, acquiring generational wealth is literally that easy. Don't forget about us when you make it!
>>59664629Nice how you pivoted from "Bitcoin will never hit 100k it's going to implode" to a smarmy r/buttcoin-tier "HODL GUYS WAGMI!"
>>59664629Thank you for explaining about the dex, and also yes the market is a clown show I guess the trump coin proved that recently. I’m not sure if the $30 thing is sarcasm or BTC hitting one million but you’ve convinced me to buy one monero at least. Just to hold onto , it might come in value when privacy is big.
>>59664947Just one?
Any monerochan updates or news?
>>59664864>Bitcoin will never hit 100kMea culpa, who could have foreseen that Tether would print a record $25 billion USDT totally not out of thin air in the space of just 40 days???>it's going to implode"Oh it will, BTC's implosion is 100% guaranteed by its ROI math. BTC became a ponzi scheme once investor liquidity displaced non-investor liquidity, virtually everybody buying BTC now expects exponential returns. Good luck making that math work. >a smarmy r/buttcoin-tier "HODL GUYS WAGMI!"lol read between the lines, genius.
>>59664947>I’m not sure if the $30 thing is sarcasm or BTC hitting one million but you’ve convinced me to buy one monero at least.Just spend it on weed or something.

>>59666146>>Unironically, if the devs make swapping into XMR and getting it on the eth L2 a priority it could be the easiest way of buying MoneroThis crossed my mind too. Already being a Monero-branded token makes it perfect for that usecase, its very intuitive for n00bs: buy and swap the Monero girl for the actual Monero coin.I was initially skeptical about all this but given how retarded things are getting I'm like fuck it, let's exploit this memecoin craze to further boost Monero's profile. Just be sure to dump some of those SICK GAINZ into the counter-economy to stimulate and keep it growing so that the rest of us can benefit down the line.

>>59666938Yeah agree we are entering clown market phase of the bull run. When can we swap Monerochan for XMR or is it later on the roadmap?
>>59667490>When can we swap Monerochan for XMR or is it later on the roadmap?From what I understand, current swaps are unidirectional (XMR -> ETH) but the hope is to make them omnidirectional at some point, possibly by leveraging the XMR<->ETH swaps tech already developed by Miss Elizabeth.
Ross is free. What are the financial implications for XMR?
>>59667659>Ross is free. What are the financial implications for XMR?Interesting question. Plenty of crypto communities will be vying for his endorsement, Team BTC is fully expecting he's going to be /theirguy/ now.But by default he should be /ourguy/ now considering how synonymous Monero and the darknet have become since he went away. Ross was always very vocal about his agorist beliefs so I find it difficult to imagine he's going to align himself with the side that sold out the anti-authoritarian ideals that inspired him in favor of courting the very government that gave him 2 life sentences for killing nobody.>Eventually I found something I could agree with whole heartedly. Something that made sense, was simple, elegant and consistent in all cases. I'm talking about the Austrian Economic theory, voluntaryism, anarcho-capitalism, agorism etc. espoused by the likes of Mises and Rothbard before their deaths, and Salerno and Rockwell today.Then again, he might just decide to go the memecoin route and endorse $REALROSS to cash in his 15 minutes of fame. Wait and see.
>>59667842He shouldn't need to cash in his reputation because he probably has a billion dollars worth of BTC somewhere. He's probably itching to get some of that stack into XMR for the privacy.
>>59668030Hold on, you're sure the feds didn't confiscate everything? Like a personal wallet?The implications would be insane as XMR is only $4b. Plus the media attention.
btw he only needs 38.1k btc to purchase all of xmr (if it were for sale at current price)Best positive white swan event, although this is wishful thinking
>>59668048Idk just guessing. Surely he has at least some BTC stashed.>>59668214Monero's white swan is inevitable in my mind. This or something else. There is so much potential upside and so little downside now.
Ross is free which scientifically means Monero is going to $500.
Thank you Satoshi for giving us Monero, fuck you for not making the normalshitters understand
>>59668030>>59668048Well, it seems that his known stash of 144K BTC is long gone:>The federal government ultimately auctioned off Ulbricht’s bitcoin. https://protos.com/how-much-bitcoin-will-ross-ulbricht-have-if-trump-sets-him-free/However, he could well have had another secret stash. If so, it's going to be one of the dormant-since-2013 whale wallets on the BTC rich list. Since all such wallets are under 24/7 surveillance, we'll be alerted if one of them suddenly wakes up. So assuming he does have access to such a stash, what's the rational play for Ross? He obviously can't set up a Binance account and start cashing out the proceeds of crime directly, it's likely all his KYC'd crypto dealings will be VERY closely scrutinized for any hint of dirty money. So CEXs are off the table.Meaning he has no other option than to take the DEX route to break the paper trail, which virtually guarantees he'll be looking to swap into an untraceable currency -> Monero. And then it becomes a question of XMR liquidity and who the fuck is willing to accept potentially tainted/red-flagged BTC that may very well get seized if it ever touches a KYC'd platform?Either way, Ross would learn a very poignant lesson about the significance of fungibility and why BTC is an obsolete shitcoin that lacks it.
>>59668030>>59668048>>59668214>>59668412>>59668568You guys are sad. The second Ross gets pardoned you start slobbering over the hope of him buying your bags.
>>59668595>how dare youspare us
>>59668595>You guys are sad. The second Ross gets pardoned you start slobbering over the hope of him buying your bags.Who's slobbering? It's called "discussing a potential scenario", faggot. Such a high-profile event would significantly boost Monero's credibility while highlighting one of Bitcoin's most glaring weaknesses before a global audience, its impossible not to wonder.Stay salty.
>>59668595This is a /biz/ (business & finance) board.The ideological talk can go elsewhere.Btw I don't have bags as I already sold 98% this cycle. I'll reenter in XMR with leverage if Ross actually has noteworthy amounts of ancient btc left, which I currently highly doubt.
>>59668748>The ideological talk can go elsewhere.First time here?

>>59668274What is the monero white swan event you think will happen, anon.
>>59669160The equivalent of alphabay picking it up in 2016. It's ripe for someone or some organisation with money and clout to get behind it. It is also perfectly positioned for the inevitable pendulum swing back from memecoin insanity. The president and his wife running memecoin pump and dumps is a top signal, a top signal for memecoin degeneracy. There's nowhere to go from there, it's the end of the line for substanceless ponzis. Probably all the markets in the world are about to collapse including crypto but Monero is perfectly positioned to lead the next crypto bull market, potentially unaccompanied.

There's nowhere to go from there, it's the end of the line for substanceless ponzis. Probably all the markets in the world are about to collapse including crypto but Monero is perfectly positioned to lead the next crypto bull market, potentially unaccompanied. Checked. Why should there be another crypto bull market given the current state of affairs? Crypto's reputation and relevance is on the cusp of a death spiral, nobody outside the echo chamber cares or pays attention anymore, the mainstream population is largely blackpilled at this point. We might get a couple more years on the strength of a laissez-faire Trump presidency but this is still a numbers game and ultimately the math will break down. So place your final bets NOW, gentlemen.Monero, however, should be fine, it's in a class of its own since most of the demand for XMR is coming from outside the clown market, meaning we're not going to take as big of a hit as everything else once this entire rotten shitshow finally implodes. And when that happens expect these Generals to be flooded with desperate cryptotards begging for XMR swaps, as if anybody here would gladly exchange the counter-economy's digital reserve currency for a rapidly depreciating ponzi token, BTC included.
>>59671275>how are there people who still fall for these? Crypto investors are legitimate morons.
