No way to tell if the claims of de-anonymizing Rem0no are bs or not.  There's zero technical information in those links.

 always look at the choice of language.


Looking at the article

"A major financial watchdog in Russia is developing a new cryptocurrency analytics tool to trace major cryptos like Bitcoin (BTC) and privacy coins"

developing = proposal

Track is not decode

Claims are far and wide with "and XMR" so I think they don't know

This leads me to the question, were is the cute little hacker who "showed" the nasty transactions, that´s more or less the same

i am very greatfull to hold some monero in my wallet but i still also have that old account from the beginning of monero , i will search for the seedphrase (i miss 1 word) and post it here , maybe there is a smarter guy then i am who can solve the problem with the missing seedword.

it should be possible to find the missing word , as far as i know it has something to do with different timeframes which used different word pakkages or some like that.

but still happy with the monero i hold in a wallet with original seedphrase

tanx for this link , i tried to search a lot already and you don't wanna know how much info there is about this theme , but to be honest this page i did not read earlier , i will give it another try and will let you know the outcome

[Globb0]

it seemed to resonate for me most with the very old fashioned trade of snake oil salesman.

Yeah sure we can decode all ills absolutely no problem,


BUT,

We need your millions and 2 years to engineer a solution.



I personally worked for big corporates they sometimes know they cant do the work.


They don't care chancing their arm, they not spending their own money. They are applying for funding. They can get a year or 2 in and hope  to change the scope or just end the project.

(Ironically?) Not entirely unlike a lot the ico's we had for a while.

thanks for your works

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!

[Chicken_76]

@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.
