[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

Glad i bought again , still painfull i have a seedphrase with 11 words on it , this was used in the beginning of xmr(monero), never found an option to br8ng them up again because now the new version since long time ago needs 12 words , but still happy anyway I bought again

I don't think Monero ever had an 11-word seed phrase. It had a 13-word seed phrase. My Monero used that. It had 25, which is the standard.  And since then, we've seen the development of some of the phrases which include a time stamp, like the 14-word seed phrase.

There are tools you can use to manipulate the seed phrase or uncover private keys.  There was a fork of the BIP 39 tool that included Monero and could even create a 25-word Monero seed from a 24-word Bitcoin seed, which uses the algorithm that Ledger and others used to derive a Monero seed phrase from a Bitcoin seed phrase.

Do you remember what wallet it was?

Some third party wallet used 11 for some stupid ass reason IIRC.

But I have no clue what it was, this pops up here every so often and I think the only hope is to find that program and get the private key from it or find out the algo it used which basically comes down to the same issue of finding out what wallet it was.

If it was really old there might be a possibility it is not really using seed phrases at all in the more-modern sense;

In HORIZON for example, and thus possibly in the NXT from which it was cloned/derived, a phrase was generated as sort of a suggested pass-phrase but really the system simply uses the entire string as a private key so that you can add words, change words, not use words at all, even just use a single space character as passphrase or whatever.

I came here to post on my computer yesterday that it seems notable to me that monero has been recovering alongside Bitcoin after this recent dip. While the pump and dump of Zcash seems to be deflating rapidly.

Seems I forgot to hit the post button, though.

At the time Monero had, once again, overtaken Zcash, market cap.  But was still below it in price.

And as of today, Zcash is still going down, but Monero is continuing to recover upwards.  And this is actually happening on a day that is flat to red across most crypto.

Makes me wonder, do you think the Zcash pump and dump scammers are running their coins either back into or through Monero so that they can actually have some privacy?  🤔😁

Yes for sure  if they want true anonymity, Monero is simply the gold standard in the crypto game.

I did hear awhile back that ZEC pump and dumps coincide with Monero upswings right after so I would not doubt those ZEC pump and dump shitcoiners are holding in Monero.

Also apparently another mixer got busted so that can only be good for a chain that doesn't need nor use mixing.
