P.S., RMS Titanic sank. ;-)  Exactly! Point being: Take all of the precautions you like, and you can still sink your ship with one fuckup. Or lose your coins in a "boat accident"  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. 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.

Privacy is a cat and mouse game between the development team and the regulators. The development team is winning, however, the regulators will pressure the weakest links between the people and the coin. One of the weakest links are the centralized exchanges. The regulators will win that game but there are solutions. Decentralized exchanges. Cat and mouse hehehe.

A few days ago i asked about transaction priority and fees. I'm using a gui wallet in simple mode. Today i tried send moneroand...faled. What am i doing wrong? Is it because of a small comission? Can i send monero using simple mode?
OK. The first time I tried a very small amount. Just for the test. Now I have tried a few more. And ... it worked.

Take another node to distribute your transaction, not all nodes are running correctly, that's the way the story goes

Hi, many years ago, when the GUI was finally released and I got drunk on Barolo to celebrate, I unwittingly created the Monero Barolo meme on IRC. Since I live close to the Barolo region I thought I should make something nice from it, something that people might enjoy. So here goes: https://xmr.wine/Like Monero, the vintage is 2014. Comes with a nice wooden box with the Monero logo in sizes 1, 2 or 6 bottles. Only about 260 of 500 bottles are still available. Shipping worldwide. Cheers, Infinitejest/eyejay

In the previous version everything worked perfect  Please switch to a custom remote node: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/3140#issuecomment-706440354Note that there will be a new release soon that will fix this particular issue.

Take another node to distribute your transaction, not all nodes are running correctly, that's the way the story goes  This is not possible in simple mode. I can not download the whole blockchain which is riquired in advanced mode. And that's what i asked early, why cannot i select a specific node in simple mode? I can change remote node, but I don't know what changed. I even cannot see which node i connected to. Am I complaining? I'm looking for help. In the new release of the gui wallet the options have been cut. Can't understand why. This is inconvenient. And I can't use my wallet. That's the reason, isn it? I spent a lot of time before transaction was completed. I was trying send over and over again. And, finaly...sent. Also i'm not shure if the problem is with the remote node. The fees is too low. And that can be the problem too.

Does this mean i can use advanced mode without downloading the blockchain? Or will these settings apply in simple mode as well? OK. I'll try thank you!

Shapeshift was a victim of success: Too easy to use, too popular, too trusted in both the Monero and Zcash communities... I think that they came under heavy pressure. What I write is being watched very closely. Please give us time. [1:10 PM - 4 Sep 2018] Anyway, since they went KYC in 2018, who the hell still uses their service? —For trading privacy coins!?

If your concerned about your transaction being traced I would wait until this issue is handled, using a remote node even if trusted is not recommended. If you don't care if the transaction ever gets revealed then go for it. If I was a devious person and wanted to attack the mindshare of Monero I would compromise trusted nodes and then insert a bug that herded people use those nodes. Then I would use that information to expose transactions and fud the project. I'm sure this isn't what happened but if you wear a tinfoil hat then this is a thought.

And also real decentralized exchanges similar to Bisq. Monero will also be the leading cryptocoin for grey markets. Centralized exchanges that do not demand KYC and are moderately isolated from mainstream cryptocoin markets. I reckon many maximalists will look at this as leaving Monero behind. However, Monero is really establishing the way ahead.
