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

[cAPSLOCK]

Tried to plug a USB drive into my computer today and hit the "reset button" lol.

I think LMDB was resizing or something during then so it hosed my Monero database.

Woops.  Guess what!  You gotta delete and download the whole thing again dummy.

But then, you know what?  The latest version of monerod?  Pretty dang fast.  I got to 92% in just a few hours.  Now I am still almost a year behind so I figure it's gonna take a little while, still.  But hey.  This is definitely an improvement over the last time I did this when it took quite a bit longer, I think! I figure I will prune it when it's done... maybe I should have started it that way.

No pain, no gain.

It actually took longer to prune than it did to download in the first place... But all done now <60GB.

I have been thinking a lot about Monero's scaling future recently.  It is an interesting potential problem.  And unique, I think.

Is it possible to make DEX on Monero?

Well...  Monero is not really a smart contract platfrom.  But it has multisig capability.  https://bisq.network is a dex.

[cAPSLOCK]

This is pretty damn cool, really.

Now, for you purists it has some interesting tradeoffs.  The Rino people get your view key, so in that regard it is sort of like MyMonero, but this is multisig.  So in *THAT* regard is it sort of like Casa, or Unchained.  You get 2 keys, they get one.  You can integrate 2 factor.  Different security model than say Blockstream Green, but similar sorts of advantages.

Actually, I think this will be a sleeper for a while.  This kind of availability and featureset would be AMAZINGLY important for all kinds of people.  The one Caveat is like MyMonero they hold your view key.  So if you are buying drugs... wait.  No, that's not a risk.  Umm.  Well they know what you hold and how much comes and goes.  That's it really.  (Monero's utility also endlessly undervalued.)

if you mean something involving HTLC no imho, even if -using pairings- atomic swaps tries are being developed.
Anyway, depending how strong is your definition of DEX, you can follow these two projects:
https://haveno.exchange
https://serai.exchange

Seth may be one of the best evangelists for Monero we have.

Honest.  Principled. Values based.

Him, and the dark net. 

*Sigh* I am too old to live long enough to see that I was right.  But I am/was.  May that statement go down in history.

Well here it is my favorite privacy coin and the first privacy coin I ever did invest in. Monero is number 23 on coinmarketcap with a $2.75 billion marketcap and is up more then 7% in this last week.
I still have some XMR and am happy I did not ever sell them. XMR did lead the other privacy coins in gains in 2022 and it would been more if not for so much FUD it got. The big community who supports it and it having most transactions in 2022 for privacy coins makes me more confident it will reward its holders.

[jayoh]

2023 and Monero still is the #1 privacy crypto. And I still hold none.
