What would happen if XMR had half of BTC's marketcap?
>>
>>62183108
Best case is more adoption. Worst guess is a riot from the ultra left libertarian sect of the community.
1/2 BTC market cap would be ~10x. Assuming nothing else changed, we'd also have to pay ~10x the fees which could be enough to cause the riot.
I wouldn't bet on this happening though.
NGU =! UGU(users go up), but it seems unrealistic that XMR would do a 10x and more people wouldn't attempt to buy and sell goods and services for XMR. See what happened when gold did a 10x from 400 to 4000 as an example.

Do OVKs reveal sender or reciever addresses or amounts? You know, the things that regulators aee interested in?
If you can't answer this then your opinion on the subject is worthless.

>>62189893
>OVKs very good for adoption
Never claimed this, nor did the video. Are you just making things up now?
>>
>>62190228
>nor did the video
1:51:46
It's literally the first statement he makes. "My key takeaways are, OVKs, if used correctly they're very useful, they're gonna be very good for adoption".
That's the first and main benefit he states for OVKs. Adoption. Which means exchanges. Which means normies.

His entire shill for OVKs is premised on getting more normies. When exchanges start getting their fingers on Monero again, then dev's will start getting "sponsored". And they'll weasel they're way in.
>>
>>62190228
>Do OVKs reveal amounts
As per the video "OVK knows exactly what inputs you've spent and knows the amounts of those inputs because it knows what your change is, it can infer what the outgoing balance is"
>>
>>62190302
this guy didn’t watch the own video he linked lol. OVK is a disaster
>>
>>62190302
>>62190321
You skipped the parts that don't feed into your doomer porn fantasy. I'll go over those now.
He states that exchanges are unlikely to bring Monero back due to OVKs at 2h35m20s
And at 2h27m30s he says that OVKs don't actually know the amounts of those outputs. In other words it can solve for x here
2 - {x) = 1
But not here
2 - (x+y) = 1
And goes on to explain that you can't determine which addresses sent or received which output with OVKs.
So to answer my own question since you didn't: No.
OVKs know the amount of your inputs and can make a very strong guess about how much each output is. It can't tell you anything about who sent those inputs to you or where they went

>>62190456
Of course I did. It's how I know that the OVK FUD is retarded.
Anyone that reached any conclusion except "the OVK FUD is retarded" didn't watch the video.
>>
>>62190495
>It can't tell you anything about who sent those inputs to you or where they went

it doesn’t need to. simply knowing the amounts is enough
>>
>>62190495
He throws in a "I don't think exchanges will relist" to placate the autists after being clear that OVK will make Monero more accessible to normalfags and add some of the tools exchanges want for compliance. And the response to the decrease in fungibility, that there will become two classes of Monero, has been "well just don't use an exchange then, it's all optional, no one's forcing you to do this, this is all voluntary" which is the same insane cope Bitcoin maxis used for years while they were co-opted. We all saw the writing on the wall when it was them. You should be able to see the threat this is to Monero too, how it will be used.
>>
Yeah I'm not reading any of that. I'll just go ahead and repeat myself
>The OVK FUD is retarded

To anyone still listening to these idiots and think I'm wrong, do the math and walk through the game theory yourself. It's not hard.
FCMP++ will increase the anonymity set of each tx from 16 to 100 million. If we assume that chainalysis can and will collect OVKs to reduce the anonymity set and identify true spends of XMR users regardless of their compliance, then two questions should immediately jump out at you:
>How many view keys will they have to collect to reduce the anonymity set back down to 16?
>If you're an exchange/the government/etc putting in all this work to collect/steal/etc view keys, why not just grab the private keys?
They won't answer because it'll ruin their doomer porn fantasy.

Here's some more boner killer questions you won't get answers to:
>What is needed to prove that you sent XMR to someone? Hint: it's not a view key
>When moonstone research tried to trace the stolen funds of the CCS hack, what did they usse to create the transaction graphs? Hint: it wasn't a view key
>So coinbase somehow managed to get your OVK and can see you sent 100k XMR to someone . How do they determine who you sent that XMR to?
>How come this "the government will collect it cand use it to compromise the privacy of the chain!" argument isn't made with private keys? "Ok anon maybe cucks are gonna cuck, but they certainly won't cuck THAT hard!" Is a nonanswer

It's retarded to the point that it's not worth refuting. I'm doing it cause I'm bored.
>>
>>62190632
equating view keys to private keys is incredibly disingenuous. the former is your bank statement, which institutions can and do require for BV checks during hiring in certain roles, for example. the latter is saying “give me your debit card + PIN + your entire bank info”. Two completely different things

The whole argument is about how other people's cucked privacy choices can effect everyone. The degree of cuckoldry is irrelevant.
>“give me your debit card + PIN + your entire bank info”
This is illegal in most cases. Some cuck likely did this in the past because his boss told him to, and he did it instead of not being a cuck.
OTOH, there's nothing illegal about an exchange demanding your private key to trade on their platform. Maybe some cuck will agree to it, get cucked, and cry to lawmakers to save him at some point. Until then, private keys and view keys are equally fair game, even if the threat exposure is different.

Concern trolls trolling about Carrot as if the Monero-hating establishment would ever consider going easy on XMR and relisting it.

Governments absolutely hate credible encryption/privacy tools, they're clearly not going to encourage or enable their use in any way that would give plebs an affinity for them.

No. I'm saying that right now Kv is needed to generate stealth address and scan the chain for bogus outputs (see the burning bug for more info on this topic). FCMP++ fixes that; you won't be able to construct 2 outputs that work for 1 key image anymore.
Inflation bugs are a different topic from double spends.

Can someone please explain pool mining to me? Yesterday I spent one hour mining on SupportXMR and one hour mining on MoneroOcean. I got substantially better returns (in terms of XMR pending) from MoneroOcean so I let that one run for an additional five hours.

It seems like SupportXMR gives way better payouts for the same hash rate.

Why do obvious scamcoins pump? It's all market manipulation, wash trading + a coordinated shilling effort by turd world operatives, typically Nigerians and jeets.

If in doubt, remember that Zcash has virtually zero actual adoption, its reputation is in the shitter due to all the shameless knee bending to authority and it has remained a punchline within privacy circles basically since day 1. There's nothing there to be optimistic about.
>>
>>62195486
>There is a lot of FUD about monero's CAROT
At first I thought it was malicious FUD to delay the hard fork by any means, but there's a small chance that it's just people not reading and making assumptions that Zcash FVK = Monero FVK. They're not.

I have a bit of a weirdquestion, but ever since I've been getting into XMR I've been wondering if there is anyone that sells natural beautysupplies (that accepts XMR)...Specifically anything tallow and soap, because natural tallow can be expensive, but I've been a lot healthier ever since making the switch.

I order my soap from IdahoTallow, and their soap is really good but they only accept Bitcoin which can come with stupid high fees, so if anyone buys from them or is interested in Tallow products, can you please kindly ask them if they would consider accepting XMR, because that would be great since it seems to be an untapped market in monero.

Buying LTC on cake to swap for XMR on trocador is a tried and true method. I think trocador is built-in too

Downloaded
-official GUI wallet (new wallet from HW wallet)
-eigenwallet (windows defender flagged it)

>send BTC to eigenwallet
>swap to XMR
>send that XMR to GUI (HW wallet)

What am I missing here
And how do I Start mining through the GUI
>>
>>62227358
>how do I Start mining through the GUI
its under advanced settings
but its much more efficient to run mining software alongside the wallet rather than using the built in wallet miner(until p2pool is fully integrated into the wallet soon™)

also keep you spending wallet separate from your mining wallet
>i dont mine personally but i see this asked often enough to mildly answer
>>
>>62228103
Not as complicated as I initially expected for a first time setup aside from the annoying swap/send times and now I have to download the entire chain onto my SSD for a local node which will take half a day probably.
The mining was just a novelty aspect for me, just wanted to check it out to see how big of a pita it is.
>monero spending wallet

Hey idiot, the point isn't ID per se, its obfuscation. Sending almost $2mm of PMs to the same address alerted even the most waterheaded of glowniggers. I bet he did most of it in one calendar year too. Have friends, extended family, pseudonyms, forwarding addresses, etc...

After a hiatus from mining crypto generally I’ve gotten into mining Monero with the computers I have in my home. Mining is cozy and I like feeling as if I support something. I’d like to set up a node, but I’m hesitating because of privacy concerns. I’m considering setting up my media server as a docker node, but I need to have it completely secured. Is this possible? Is there anything specific that has to be done to have it safe?

run it over TOR and you should be fine. pad your transactions

>>
>>62240422
Should? :)))

Using just a singular vpn won’t cut it? Is there anything server-side that needs securing if I want the node broadcasted and not simply there for myself. I’ve looked at Sethforprivacy’s guide and I guess I’m going for that as I’m a brainlet with limited ability when it comes to these things.
>>
>>62240942
you shouldn't use a singular VPN for anything really. Use doublehop and proxy everything you can to different servers. Your base VPN connection is basically your new home IP; treat it as such.
>Is there anything server-side that needs securing if I want the node broadcasted and not simply there for myself.
I run my node for myself, but as far as I can tell making sure everything's running well and restricting RPC is all you need. TOR's great because you don't need to worry about domain registrars or ddns, so that'll be taken care of. I don't know who you're talking about but I wouldn't bother with running a public node for a good while.
>>
>>62241066
I wanted to run a public node to support the network, but I also reckon it exposes my home network to risk. Is that why you don't do it?

>>62241352
Also heuristics like when you bought and if they know your cash inflows the percentage of income going into XMR
>>
>>62241104
Partially. I don't do it because it's expensive, exposes my home network for little gain, and in the end doesn't help too much. Unless you have an established website on the Internet, no one's going to trust your random ass might-be-cryptanalysis monero node. I wouldn't run a hidden service from my home either as that would be asking for trouble (as far as I know). A better way of supporting the network would be to mine on it with whatever rack server you have lying around.

There are people on xmrbazaar that help with setting up a remote TOR/I2P node:
https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/asAG/
>>
>>62241541
I'm less interested in making the node available for private use and more interested in strengthening the network.

Does running a node always expose your home network? And if so, is it possible to lock it down so that it is safe? I reckon there are a lot of nodes public (and has to be!), so it can't be impossible
>>
>>62241066
>you shouldn't use a singular VPN for anything really. Use doublehop and proxy everything you can to different servers.
Doesn't tor explicity recommend against this due to more potential for leaks? I actually remember them saying its safer to just rawdog tor instead of vpn.

Start here if you're worried about getting pwned
https://www.grc.com/shieldsup

Setting up the node on a separate VLAN that can only connect to other trusted nodes should take care of most of your concerns. There's not much you can do to avoid exposing your IP; if that's a real concern to you then just set up your node as a tor/i2p hidden service.

what are you trying to get at? that someone could identify me based on any of this? if my address is different everytime what do any of those thing you pointed out, matter?
>>
>>62247215
What do you think how many people traded the exact amount of XMR you did at the same you did for the same exact rate? You're giving them ammo. Instead it'd be best to give out false info like saying you just got your monthly XMR when you haven't made a transaction yet.
>>
>>62243721
I was talking about normal VPN connections, but there are theoretical reasons as to why you'd use TOR bare instead of over a VPN. They don't apply to me.

This thread has been up for a literal fucking month and it's still not close to the bump limit.

Zcash, a literal israeli memecoin masquerading as a privacy vehicle, is sucking up all of the "privacy" liquidity with its endless CEX listings, 25% mining tax for hiring marketing shills, blatant billionaire insiders, and retards believing privacy needs to be compliant.

The hype around Monero seems to be dead at the moment. There was palpable excitement as it breached $500 and went to $800. There is an endless barrage of attacks against Monero, including 51% attempts, "hacks" against some of the few DEXes offering the coin, delistings from the few exchanges still offering it, and marketing pushes for fake shill coins to take attention away. The only possible saving grace for liquidity seems to be Serai, the years-old DEX project that might or might not be released soon maybe.

It seems that the ONLY circumstance in which Monero succeeds is a literal worldwide revolution against the moneyed powers, where somehow the "little guy" general public manages to overcome the overwhelming influence of endless jewish money, billionaires, institutions and their ability to define laws and the use of force.

I want to ask you: why do you think this is going to happen? Is there a single historical example of this ever occurring? (Protip: revolutions are financed by those people). Why do you think this little coin is going to overthrow the entire financial system? Bitcoin got integrated; Monero cannot.

Or is the idea to merely exist in a technical sense, like Tor? And if that's the case, how the fuck am I going to afford a decent standard of living in 2026 AI inflatibux doomer technical hellscape? Number LITERALLY needs to go up. It's the only hope left......however distant.

Nobody actually uses Zcash, it pumps & dumps like clockwork.

Monero, on the other hand, is the default currency of a growing digital shadow economy.

>>62260967
Application layer privacy is never going to be the same as protocol level privacy. Ztrash and ETH privacy layers are effectively the same thing, and equally useless.
