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

[bbc.reporter]

This might be only the beginning of stricter KYC in Europe and their war on anonymity. France is using terrorist funding as the reason why. The skeptical me speculates that the controllers of the traditional payment systems do not want a competition hehehehe. They want a monopoly on all movement of currency and value.

I am afraid for Monero, however. They might order exchanges to delist or get a cease and desist.



The French Ministry of Finance unveiled sweeping know-your-customer (KYC) requirements on all cryptocurrency companies operating in and servicing the country on Wednesday, a move that could ultimately strip the French crypto space of any semblance of anonymity.

Whoever bans crypto currencies can quickly become irrelevant. Stuck with their burning fiats.

I seriously hope its not my country.

France is already been on fire for about 3 years, what's left?

Certainly might be good to get the coins stowed away for now.

[Globb0]

But does it really though?

I did KYC in about 2014 or 15 its no exactly new.


Just a fact of the environments.

you are 100% right. this ban culture sucks and should be stopped at any cost. Banning such technology as Crypto currency which is the technology of future and future of money is the worst thing a country can do to itself and it's people.
but nowadays we can see Cryptocurrency is getting mass adoption by large group of peoples and so many nations have alrady legalized that and many are working on it.
I only know few third world countries where Crypto currency is still illegal. one of them is Bangladesh.

I think they are very late in trying to abolish cryptocurrencies. This is the kind of stuff that you either nip in the bud when it's too small or you watch it grow and grow until you can't do much to stop it. And I am glad for that. Crypto doesn't necessarily have to be the "competition" but the way governments are handling fiat, it will be. And if they turn completely against crypto, coins like Monero won't even suffer.

Agreed. However, they would not ban bitcoin and they might ban Monero because transactions cannot be traced. The government can use the terrorist funding storyboard on it and order exchanges to delist it.

Also, the government controls the banks and the exchanges need banking partners. I reckon the cat and mouse game is only beginning.

I'm using the following guide in order to setup a monero node on my computer:

https://freedomnode.com/blog/how-to-install-and-set-up-full-monero-node-on-linux/

I am on step 4 and when I run

Code:

sudo journalctl -fu monerod.service

I get the following log:

Code:

monerod.service: Can't open PID file /home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted

Here is the source code for my monerod.service file:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Monero Full Node
After=network.target

[Service]
User=monero
Group=monero

Type=forking
PIDFile=/home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.pid

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/monerod --restricted-rpc --block-sync-size 50 --confirm-external-bind --config-file /home/andy>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I run

Code:

monerod --config-file /home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.conf status

I get the following error:

Code:

Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081

I'm not sure how to fix either of these issues, does anybody know how I am supposed to move forward from here? I am so lost!

@asteinbe
Do you need to run it as a service? First check if the daemon launches alright and syncs with the network, by just running monerod in a separate console or screen. Make sure you do this on an SSD and you have at least 100GB free.

The tightening of requirements and provision of user passport data, as well as the aggravation of the situation with regulators, brings a lot of problems to the cryptocurrency market, and not only for Manero. But it’s even difficult to predict how the most rated and most anonymous cryptocurrencies will be priced if the situation deteriorates.

Hi All,

I just wanted to inform the Monero miners, that BiblePay has moved to the RandomX algorithm!
You can now merge mine BiblePay (with Monero) and earn DOUBLE the reward and help orphans at the same time.

Btw, we are committed to helping the monero network by ensuring that our solutions keep monero on the right best-block so merge mining with BBP does not hurt you in any way or hurt the monero network!

To get started, you can use the same xmrig miner you always use and you can even earn a 26K welcome bonus by starting here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300673.new#new

God bless you and please help us help orphans!

Someone should remind getmonero.org's administrator to update the website's SSL certificates. This is the bull market, I reckon many people will be going to the site and see this.

They are correct. The other image, it is impossible for it to have the wrong date and time because this was from my Android phone. The administrator clearly fixed the problem after 15 minutes. He saw my post hehehehe.

does this happen because of the system's incorrect date and time? I don't think the a domain's SSL certificate have anything with the date and time. It happens when the domains SSL get disabled for deactivated.
