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

[SacredRonin]

Buckle up people, XMR is leaving the launchpad, breaking resistance against FIAT and BTC.

Well, it happened.

Hashrate going over the roof, 2.3GH/s it's crazy !!

I was wondering if anyone would have said something. My theory is it's a Monero mining malware. A few days ago, another miner pointed out this account on 2Miners.com running Solo. At the time it was pointed out to me, just on 2miners, this one account had over 500Mh/s: https://solo-xmr.2miners.com/account/8Aa4txZdPkvHu1zRX8CvcP9wviQSC8ukNFrS4FHYanocY7HzzsTSpNuLbCeKwR8GxAVKqm6WrQYp4Nn1GF6T9mXwCTDGn2k - The miner shows 100Mh/s at the moment, which by itself is pretty gnarly.

This single "miner" has hit 766 blocks in the last *7* days just at 2miners! That's 1039 XMR or $121,870 at the time I'm writing this.

Anything can be ... Monero is often used in various malicious programs for hidden mining.

Any word when feather will integrate with Trezor/Ledger?

Does Feather support Ledger/Trezor?

No, and we have no plans to support hardware wallets in the future. An implementation would complicate the codebase significantly, and as a small team we doubt maintaining it.

If you have a Ledger or Trezor device and would like to use it, grab the official Monero GUI or CLI.

That is fine with me.  I don't intend to use feather for storage.  Nor do they seem to be marketing it that way.

Hello everyone!
Can you please tell me if there is a way to change transaction priority (transaction fee) in the new version of GUI Wallet 17.1.0?
If there's no way, how quickly will the transaction be proceed with a fixed fee?

I don't have an answer for the first question. but the TxPool has been pretty consistently held to single and double digit numbers - very high probability of being included in the next block.

Dear DEVS,

got to make you a compliment. Got me a Trezor Model T and i am indeed VERY impressed how easy and sound this is to use with Monero!!!

My deep respect,

I have many bad for its lower difficulty is too high for miners that are starting and their hardware is domestic.
They do not think to give us a little space in their pool, will they give a solution?

Probably not ... just find a new better pool. There must be hundreds by now, but I haven't mined since 2014-2015.

Hello Everyone!

We would like to welcome Monero on our LetsHash.it Mining Pool!

Our Mining Fee is only 0.5% both Pool/Solo, so miners can enjoy their coins
Payouts are made automatically every 5 minutes for all balances above 1 XMR

You can use following commands to join our Mining Pool straight away :

#1 Option is for mining on Pool (shared) :

Code:

-o letshash.online:1551 -u XMR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p @workername -k --coin monero -a rx/0

#2 Option is to mine solo (98% of block reward goes to you) :

Code:

-o letshash.online:1551 -u solo:XMR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p @workername -k --coin monero -a rx/0

No worries, we"re designing new pool , so it will not look like default

Thanks for paying attention!
-Enjoy your hashing.

Thank you for the reply. I have an answer to the first question now. Transaction priority can be changed in advanced mode. It's sad, i prefer to use a simple mode.

One more thing i cannot understand...if using a remote node is unsafe, why cannot i choose an specific node (it gets chosen automatically and i don't know which one, i mean address). Some nodes are safest others, aren't they?

   It's not that it is unsafe, merely a greater chance of security compromise than one you control.  There is no 100% guarantee even on your own node.  Only you can decide what degree of paranoia/safety is comfortable for you.  My method is to use my own for any larger transactions/wallets, and a modest balance in a wallet I use with Monerujo/random remote nodes for smaller transactions.  Compartmentalize like the Titanic to be sure your ship doesn't sink

   It's not that it is unsafe, merely a greater chance of security compromise than one you control.  There is no 100% guarantee even on your own node.  Only you can decide what degree of paranoia/safety is comfortable for you.  My method is to use my own for any larger transactions/wallets, and a modest balance in a wallet I use with Monerujo/random remote nodes for smaller transactions.  Compartmentalize like the Titanic to be sure your ship doesn't sink

The principal problem with untrusted remote nodes is privacy, not security compromise.  There are some known attacks for monitoring, linking, or finding the real inputs of your transactions, which a remote node can do (or attempt), even with untrusted-daemon=1 in your configuration.  It is for this reason that, e.g., the Monero CLI wallet emits scary warnings and advice if an attempt to create a transaction fails with an untrusted-daemon.  Also, of course, you had damn well better have untrusted-daemon=1 in your config of the daemon is untrusted!  That mitigates much, but not all of the problem, AFAIK.  (I have never tried the Monero GUI, or any other Monero wallets; so I cannot speak to how those may mitigate some known potential problems with untrusted remote nodes.)  Obviously, if you connect to a single untrusted node and send more than one transaction (within the same session over Tor/in any way linkable without Tor/etc.), then that node will know that the same party sent those txids!  (I will omit further discussion here; this could get lengthy.)  The best way for privacy is always to run your own node, especially since Dandelion++ was implemented to help obscure the originating node for transactions.

None of that has anything whatsoever to do with the amounts of transactions, or the amount that you keep in a wallet.

You seem to be worried about a security compromise by a remote node which exploits some hypothetical 0day in your wallet.  That is a general software security concern, which also applies to your own Monero full node daemon—or your own Bitcoin node, or your e-mail client, or, worst of all, to the web browser that you are using to peruse this forum.  It applies to each and every bit of software running on any computer that ever connects to the Internet, directly or indirectly.

Yes, compartmentalize—among other things.  But I have never heard of a remote node pwning a wallet.  (Was there ever some obscure CVE that I don’t know about?  I am not, and do not claim to be a Monero expert as such.)  The aforestated privacy concern is much more significant.

The Ultimately Secure DEEP PACKET INSPECTION AND APPLICATION SECURITY SYSTEM

Installation Instructions

• For best effect install the firewall between the CPU unit and the wall outlet. Place the jaws of the firewall across the power cord, and bear down firmly. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while installing the firewall or assign the task to a junior system manager. If the firewall is installed properly, all the lights on the CPU will turn dark and the fans will grow quiet. This indicates that the system has entered a secure state
• For Internet use install the firewall between the demarc of the T1 to the Internet. Place the jaws of the firewall across the T1 line lead, and bear down firmly. When your Internet service provider's network operations center calls to inform you that they have lost connectivity to your site, the firewall is correctly installed.

Indeed, this is not the wrong thread for this:

With transparent blockchains, if the coins that you own can be traced to you, then it can later be observed if they move.  Publicly observed.  By anyone in the world who wants to watch.  (And if the coins cannot be traced to you, then this discussion is irrelevant.)  Lying about losses in any kind of an official context could usually result in hard prison time.  Lost coins are permanently unspendable; “lost” coins do not exist in Bitcoinland.

If you are susceptible to boating accidents, it would be tragic to HoDL a privacy coin.  Why, if you lose your keys, you cannot even provide your view keys on demand!  Such loss.

Code:

incoming_transfers available uses
sweep_all [...rinse, repeat at random times...]

Not necessary with That Other Privacy Coin.

Bitcoiners have less to fear from boating accidents, and more to fear from getting hacked.  [...]
