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

[Globb0]

Does anyone know why the wallets were locked on Poloniex for XMR?

It was just XMR and one of the BTC forks locked?

[yog25]

I am waiting for XMR to dip down to $95, that's if we see a significant BTC correction. Will collect more then.

   Don't count on it.


  There is a thread for speculation.

I would like to extend a big thank you to all of the developers listed below who worked on Lithium Luna v0.12.

Your beautiful work has inspired me to create this art.

I'm offering a 15% discount to any of the developers/contributors of Lithium Luna v0.12 release should any of them whose name is on this list contacts me and can prove who they are to the project by PGP or other means.

How do I create stealth address with monero wallet?, what kind of wallet support create stealth address?, anyone here have example of stealth address transaction on monero blockchain?

How do I create stealth address with monero wallet?, what kind of wallet support create stealth address?, anyone here have example of stealth address transaction on monero blockchain?

What do you mean?  In Monero, all addresses are “stealth” addresses.

example of stealth address transaction on monero blockchain

Pick any transaction, and tell me the addresses associated with its inputs and outputs:

They are automatically generated upon creating a transaction. All wallet software does this. Are you perhaps referring to subaddresses?

I have updated the GUI from 0.17.1.1 to 0.17.1.4 and now when I launch it

I have the warning:
"Wallet is not connected to daemon"

And then:
"Daemon failed to start

Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds.

Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also start to try monerod.exe manually"

Why is that?

CipherTrace files two Monero cryptocurrency tracing patents 🤔
https://ciphertrace.com/ciphertrace-files-two-monero-cryptocurrency-tracing-patents/

any noob-tl,dr or opinions?

[bbc.reporter]

@Termie. Ciphertrace has patents to claims that they have created the technology to trace transactions in the Monero blockchain hehe. Also, cryptocoin privacy is a cat and mouse game. The development team of Monero will cover all holes Ciphertrace opens and this will occur back and forth.

The article also mentioned exchange delistings. This makes my skepticism stronger that their article is for only fud.

@Termie
I'll quote 2 sentences from this article (https://decrypt.co/49182/ciphertrace-files-patents-for-tech-that-traces-monero-transactions), the impact is on 2nd. 

"But CipherTrace’s patents claim that transactions are entirely traceable.

The patents, however, have not been approved. "

Why is that?

Have you already tried rebooting your system? Also, do you use a custom data directory for the blockchain?

The exchanges have delisted privacy centered coins because they do not want to be shut down by local governments for "potentially" harboring criminals from monetary transactions. They also do not want to be held responsible for helping transact dirty crypto used by bad actors. It's all about the CYA aspect of remaining viable as an exchange in order to maintain income for stakeholders.

Ask yourself, why do so many non-USA exchanges not allow or even IP block NA retail traders? That AML/KYC is a B.

Thanks for explain. I just read this tutorial.
good to know Monero set as default. Interesting, I will use monero.

I have same skepticism as yours that is a FUD only. How does it take more than one year since August 2019 to November 2020 for Cipher Trace to file their patents if they truly have good tools to trace and crack down the traceability of Monero transactions? It sound not normal and hard to believe in.

CipherTrace filed their second patent application on Monero tracing techniques.  Nobody can deterministically trace Monero transactions yet.  But this lays the groundwork for meaningful results particularly for tracing large scale thefts & crime

Yes, clearly the issue is about compliance. There is a paper written by a group of lawyers and it argues that anonymous and privacy enabled coins' features should be kept, can be listed and still be compliant.

https://www.perkinscoie.com/images/content/2/3/v7/237411/Perkins-Coie-LLP-White-Paper-AML-Regulation-of-Privacy-enablin.pdf

In any case, transaction privacy will be an important issue in the next years to come in the cryptspace. Michael Saylor, who has a large economic interest on bitcoin, might be next popular figure to declare more tranparency and blockchain analysis is good to protect his investment.

I believe that this whole CipherTrace patent application circus is about milking a cash-cow called US (or any other) government. You know the lines:
" We are about to crack that bad boy Monero, we are in process of obtaining some groundbreaking patents, this is completely new technology, but we NEED more MONEY because all that development costs, you will profit in the long term, bla bla bla..."

Centralized exchanges aren't necessary anyway. The future lies in decentralized exchanges that accept both Bitcoin, privacy coins and other coins/tokens.
