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. See below.If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.
>>61021636You fucking n you changed the OP removing gigachad XMR video and information.
>>61021636oh god is this the bakecel OP again? Do I need to paste the disclaimers?
>>61021636so is the Qubic saga over, or are they still trying? Have the devs figured out a plan to not get 51%'d when a bigger player tries? Price action says we are good but that's not enough to know. Sep 14 had an 18 block reorg, anything since?

>>61022281>so is the Qubic saga over, or are they still trying?They're mining 'normally' as of right now. Turns out selfish mining isn't profitable on XMR.>Have the devs figured out a plan to not get 51%'d when a bigger player tries?The latest proposals are Lucky Transactions and Share or Perish.https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/145https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/146It's highly likely that both will be implemented.>Price action says we are good but that's not enough to know. Sep 14 had an 18 block reorg, anything since?No reorgs detected for the past few days. People are now questioning whether we even need DNS checkpoints anymore.
Why is it pumping
Nobody has given me a good answer and I fear my assumptions are right. Let’s say I want to do an atomic swap with kyc btc. The guy swapping with me literally gets my btc right? So my kyc coin goes to a guy who deals in unknown activities with xmr?
>>61024219Yes? Does this bother you?The guy willing to atomic swap his XMR with KYC BTC probably won't use it for anything he'd just use XMR for
>>61024271Kinda bothers me yes. It’s xmr desu
Should I hoard more XMR?
>>61024469
>>61024182Strike on Iran coming. Have to pay local terrorists.
>>61024619Didn’t zcash reveal identities for something legal or something?
isn't all this crypto stuff just like gambling in a casino?
>>61022760>No reorgs detected for the past few days. People are now questioning whether we even need DNS checkpoints anymore.All proof of work blockchains are susceptible to this. There has even been bitcoin miners who purposely mined empty blocks. The idea is that it is more profitable to do the right thing than mess with the network. The network survives but the selfish mining route is a bet you can reorg at some point in the next x amount of blocks. The real answer nobody wants to admit is more hashrate is needed and the thing that brings more miners is price going up. Qubic subsidized their payouts with their own token which paid out more than the xmr amount. That is the only reason they got enough hashrate to even pull of their stunt. It wasn't some 4d chess move, it was just enough new hashrate controlled under the qubic guy's control.
>>61025725>isn't all this crypto stuff just like gambling in a casino?Isn't all investing just abstract levels of gambling? >Central banks turned the economy into a casino. Bet on the fastest horse.
>>61025983gambling seems like a bad idea
>>61025725Only if you believe that there's no inherent value to a given currency. The XMR community at large believes that the core principles of XMR (anonymity, privacy, fungibility, ease of participation etc.) are worth more than what the currencies current monetary value is. We believe that XMR enables us to transfer our wealth in a way in which we are both independent of the traditional finance system (meaning neither banks or governments can directly control our funds) and imperceivable to those who might have an interest in knowing our spending habit (tradfi including tax agencies, law enforcement, advertisers, literally anybody who isn't directly involved in our transactions). Some people who hold XMR only do so for the price to increase and don't care about the qualities listed above, it's fair to say that those are gambling, however the rest (meaning those who actually use XMR) primarily are focused on transacting their wealth and are not interested in the market cap or price per coin (they still care about volatility though).
>>61024182because it has better privacy and people are catching up to that>inb4 FCMP++two more weeks
This general has my blessing.
this general is deadthis coin is dead
>>61026592>Anonymous (ID: EXf0rJhJ) 10/02/25(Thu)08:41:57 No.61026592â–¶Wrong nigga, it's just an unused scam coin used to divert attention from xmr
>>61024182I’ve watched ZEC for years, and their price action isn’t some free-market ballet. ZEC trades like a semi-managed asset, with clear signatures of coordinated flow control by market makers, DCG, and aligned stakeholders. The historic pumps weren’t organic order-book drift but orchestrated liquidity cycles -expand, contract, recycle -leaving a fingerprint you recognize if you’ve tracked it from day one. Doesn’t mean the asset is “fake,” but it does mean price discovery here runs inside a liquidity-steered regime, not a wild frontier.
>>61026985I believe the same is happening again. However, long term it has a hard time vs. XMR and is stuck in a channel. See the following yellow graph on desktop and scroll to today: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XMRBTC/5DPm4r2g-XMR-still-in-long-term-uptrend-against-DASH-and-ZEC/
we are so fucking backwe have never been so back
Can you faggots get on Twitter and destroy all these people shilling zcash? Tired of seeing the clearly coordinated shilling tactics. We should be ratioing every single one of them.
I got monero but no legal way to cash it out. What now?
>>61027550just keep it bro
Where the fuck is this community? Ztrash is pumping and you fucking faggots have nothing to say? Not a single meme? Not any mention of the backdoor, Jewish involvement, dev tax, foundation, VCs, optional privacy, vast majority unshielded, no shielding on exchanges etc etc etc…..NOTHING!?!???? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS
it's fucking overit has never been so over
what is the best way to cash-out on XMR?
Moonero
>>61025995>gambling seems like a bad ideaEvery financial decision is a gamble. Holding dollars is a gamble that the fed doesn't go print money like crazy. As the establishment moves into late stage fiat printing you might want to pay attention into counterparty risk. bearer instruments are the solution (and they have been for thousands of years) Gold is not as practical for quietly owning wealth. Cryptocurrencies offer private( as in independent) wealth ownership without a central party of control (no counter party risk). Monero offers all that plus privacy which makes it objectively better than the competitors.
>>61021636Have way more respect for what Monero stands for after I saw how Houdini can change perspective after years of using CEX. I’d avoid that trap at all costs now desu, not worth it at all
>>61028485>>61027550coincards
>>61028190>>61027550We've already done this for years and it still pumped. Any other bright ideas?
I am a simple man: I buy 50€ of Monero every month.
>>61030467Based
>>61029462Keep doing it? wtf kind of post is that. You think just because you posted against ZEC once you can just forget about it forever? There’s an entire new set of people looking at privacy coins right now and there’s very little Monero shilling going on. Fucking terrible
All 4 exchanges of WoW have died.
>>61031653we don't obsess about irrelevant scamcoins
hmm so anyone buying and selling monero for gold and silver yet? it will be the only way to make this a sustainable digital banking replacement
>>61024182Everything is pumping
>>61035638Ive seen suissegold say that they take xmr and its been up for a while now. but I have never made an account and tried it out.
>>61036113nice. all good then
>>61036113Moneymetals also takes XMR
This coin seems utterly fucking dead and nobody lifts a finger as ZEC steals both the liquidity and narrative from you.Shame on all of you faggots for laying down and not fighting.
>>61036905>/biz/ catalog>ctrl-f>zec>0 results foundNo one gives a fuck.
>>61036956Now do Twitter >inb4 you act like you’re too good for it
>>61037180twitter is closed since elon bought it and didn't want it
>>61036905>>61037180Nigga are you doing anything besides crying on 4chan?
>>61036905Zcash is still at less than half XMR's market cap after a 100% pump, idk what we're supposed to be doing.
>>61037381>>61037484>>61037983You people are the most worthless community in all of crypto.
>>61038214>No input givenOkay?
>>61021636Good day my niggas, is there any reputable service I could swap XRP to Monero without doing KYC if you know what I’m saying.
>>61038993Just use zcash all the people on Twitter agree it’s the cypherpunk solution to CBDCs and the surveillance state. The people of Monero can’t be bothered to argue against them :)
>>61039190>cypherpunk solution to CBDCs and the surveillance stateNigga, i just want to purchase speed online
>>61039190>zcashBut I like xmr.
>>61027550>>61028485Pick an off ramp that matches risk and sizegift cards and bill pay for smallbullion merchants like moneymetals for mediump2p for larger with local escrowFor swaps before off ramp I use houdiniswap to avoid CEX tickets
I’m beginning to think there’s no anti-zcash on Twitter because Monero people literally have no argument against it.What are the arguments? You realize that all the typical “smoking gun” bullshit like the early mentions of a backdoor - all that stuff is being directly refuted on Twitter and it’s completely unchallenged by any Monero people.You know that’s happening right?
>>61038993Personally I've used https://nonkyc.io/ in the past and it worked fine. trocador.app usually works, but can randomly ask for KYC.List of services that might be useful: https://kycnot.me/?categories=exchange¤cy-mode=or¤cies=xmr&max-kyc=1
>>61039653Appreciate, brother
Zcash is fucking awesome bros I can get all the privacy I need and also buy it on major exchanges! No need to go to some creepy website and interact with drug dealers. I can just get all the privacy I need and do it super conveniently.Don’t understand why you people like this old creepy banned version of privacy when Vitalik, Naval and all the smart people are using zcash. Just go on Twitter and see all the powerful arguments for ZEC. Nobody is even talking about XMR anymore.
>>61040257And the best part is that because ZEC is supported by all exchanges and has plenty of smart and influential early adopters, the price is basically guaranteed to go up. So if you like NGU, zcash is the coin for you too! ZEC = privacy, liquidity, NGUXMR = ideological rigidity, delistings, obscurity
>>61040292It’s literally on the way to surpassing XMR in market cap lol. Everyone shilling it on Twitter. Monero nowhere to be found. Your best influencer is a 20 year old nazi who, not hating on him at all, is a fucking retard. It’s just pathetic how terrible this community is and the one-two punch of qubic and now zcash is proving it.

>>61040341>It’s literally on the way to surpassing XMR in market cap lol. Everyone shilling it on Twitter.First time? This is nothing new. Daddy Silbert initiates a ZEC pump from time to time, always ends up dumping hard.
>>61040341>israeli fundedFound the jew. Log off, son, it's shabbat for you.
>>61040341I'm not falling for you jewish tricks rabbi. Monero is used by the CIA and that's good enough for me.
Hey, I'm checking in. I haven't been following Monero closely for the past year. Is there anything significant?
