1601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / What is Monero? & How it actually works | Animated Beginner's Guide on: February 19, 2022, 12:03:21 AM

When Bitcoin was launched in 2009, it solved the decentralization problem. It allowed people to make secure transactions without the need for a centralized authority or an intermediary. Monero on the other hand solved the problem of privacy, by Allowing people to have full privacy of their transactions, and their money. In this video you will know what is monero, and its story. How Monero actually works, differences between Monero and bitcoin, some tokenomics of Monero, and finally how to buy and store monero.

We can all get scared away from using those kinds of pooling services, but the reality of the matter is that they tend to be very effective and ultimately if they are used on a wide-spread basis lead the government to having to blacklist all bitcoin addresses.. which surely is neither workable nor practical, but it works so long as they can scare people away from using those mixing/pooling services.

That seems to be their attack vector of late, seizing anything from mixing services.

Like Bob pointed out a few pages back, Layer 2 needs to address this.

Or there is Monero atomic swaps now.
Don bat slap me man!

So I guess Canada is just going to arrest peaceful protesters now without cause or justification? Congrats Canada, you are now a communist country. 👍 👏👏👏


Masterminding a blockade that paralyzed the entire city for 3 weeks doesn't seem to be enough cause and justification for you? Mmmmkay....  Cool

Well lets be fair now, it doesn't take a mastermind to block a few streets.

TPTB have been creating choke points in all citys and probably never thought of the fact it could be used against them.

.... Hint: freedom doesn't look like wall-to-wall surveillance, propaganda, lies, riot cops in jackboots and balaclavas, secret contracts between multinational corps and govt, banks doing law enforcement .... these are traits of facist totalitarianism, unholy marriage of power between big corporations and big govt

I have heard some folks denigrate protest on one side versus applauding protests on another side - and the existence of riot cops does seem to be an ambiguous thing - because I cannot really blame status quo officials from striving to engage in some combating of protests and to label protests as something other than what they are.. sometimes protests become too powerful too.. so the use of trucks may or may not be legitimate, but you can appreciate the obstacles that such largess presents towards any government that might attempt to control such.

By the way, bitcoin can help us in these regards, but cannot necessarily fix matters when people are not sufficiently practiced in how to use it effectively.. so anyone can make mistakes, even very smart people.. and when those smart people are known.. they become actual targets that may well not be ready, willing and able to sacrifice their lil selfies for the cause... even if they say that they are willing.. it's not easy for someone who might be in his/her late 20s or early 30s to become willing to get locked up "out of principle."

We are not even going to necessarily agree with some of the substantive issues of some of the protests.. even though there is a lot of legitimacy that those kinds of dynamics can and should exist in "free" societies.. and this imagination of the government disappearing or everyone getting an island or a citadel is just not realistic.. there has to be some governance of public goods/services.. and part of the messy part is that we might not even be able to get two people to completely agree, so in some sense, some of the actual implementations of public goods/services policies/procedures/laws are going to end up having a lot of compromises... and hopefully somewhat representative of the overall population preferences rather than getting diverted into too much weight going to small groups that end up not really representing the overall better way of going forward involving not everyone getting their way..and maybe the structure ends up somewhat in order to NOT infringe too much either...  but not forgetting about providing opportunities for normies and maybe some folks who seem undeserving, too.

Agreed. Protests CAN work, if the goal of the protesters is reasonable/just and true democracy is allowed to prevail.



Just to pick a nit.  If you put people in jail for blocking roads in India...

Well, there ain't enough jails is all I am saying.

There are here...just saying.  Wink

Not only is Bitcoin NOT fungible it is ABSOLUTELY NOT fungible from a pure mathematical aspect.  EVERY satoshi has a pedigree.  You can trace it's origin all the way to the coinbase it was initially realized in.  And you can see the trail of addresses it is passed through to wherever it currently rests.


Not really. When you combine inputs you make the source indeterminate. Coins may taint coins they're mixed with if you want to take that view but that's something different.

Can you expound on this?

If I have a banned address and a good address and I combine inputs then won't my good address get linked to my bad address and chain analysis companies assume if you have the keys to combine you own both?

I'd hate to see someone burn a second address because this was misunderstood.

Unless they make their way to the top, have an affair with the King, become another Queen, and then can move and kill any which way.

Although this would make a good Marvel movie it is not realistic.

It would of course beat having a Hissyfit and inserting a agent provocateur.

Also when replying try to resize the quoted jpg.

“The Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police are currently investigating cryptocurrency donations being collected in relation to illegal acts falling under the scope of the Emergency Measures Act,” the RCMP order begins.

“Pursuant to the Emergency Economic Measures Order, under subsection 19(1) of the Emergencies Act, there is a duty to cease facilitating any transactions pertaining to the following cryptocurrency address(es).”

Trudeau’s officers list 29 Bitcoin addresses, 2 Ethereum, and 1 wallet each of Cardano, Monero, and Litecoin.

Let them bitches try to stop Monero transactions!

Is Monero under some heavy attack or what?
One pool had over 50% of hashrate and this is very centralized and dangerous.
If you are mining monero switch to some other pool asap!

MineXMR hashrate drops from 50% to 38% after Monero community decentralization efforts

Yes! I saw that earlier today.  Kind of inspiring, really.  The community is stronger than so many other projects.

There are currently 11709 Monero public nodes.  That is effing amazing.  There are only 15k BTC ones (Of course both of these numbers do not tell the WHOLE story).
BTC :15k
XMR: 11.7k
BCH 1k
BSV 36 (lol)
LTC 1330
DOGE 1450
ZCASH 285

Monero is so much more important than most realize. 

you forgot

ETH : 1

Mining 32 cores on p2pool...  good stuff.  Join it.  We need more hashrate!

I'm too lazy, been throwing my spare cycles to solo for a year in the gui even though I'm getting about a third what xmrig would give me.

As soon as its in the gui i'll do it. 

I got sick and tired of dealing with baby sitting mining rigs at least 5 years ago.

Wasn't there a separate thread for all the COViD discussions.....

Actually this convoy thing is supporting the immutability argument which makes it a different animal all together.

Oh yeah, the seizing of bank accounts and the utter stupidity of trusting some cheap shit Christian "donation" site run by people who can't seem to hire people to secure the... thing (maybe they trust in the LORD) points out why crypto is a good idea and is worthy of discussion.

However the "fake virus" crap (and the "Dude, you're gonna DIE stuff) should stay out of this thread. I sit on my hands myself......

Back to the regularly scheduled drama.

This thread has been full of drama for so long I doubt the lie it was created to watch walls.

Bottom line is this is definitely on topic.

*note I'm not making any argument for selectivity choosing whats discussed here, just like roach shit I just hit the ignore button.

"Fortune favors the Brave"

crash imminent, bitcoin is now dead for the next 2 years confirmed

edit: not worried about bitcoin, since 1btc = 1btc, but all others, nfts...and all that pile of vaporware

Seems appropriate.
