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

[KarmaShark]

Good day,


I wanted to share this with the Monero community because with the attack on privacy coins right now I feel this is important.


Monero now has its own streaming service quality documentary, chronicling its incredible journey over the years. My studio made this in part to help bring more awareness to the need for privacy coins and specifically around Monero.

If you have a few minutes I encourage you to check it out. And, if you like what you see please feel free to share with friends and family so they can learn why Monero is so imporrant:

I like it.
I've just watched Threat Modelling State Sponsored 51% Attacks with Aeon, https://youtu.be/0kGM1in2mQ4. I recommend it.

Good day. I recently launched a little website called https://xmrmemes.org The idea is a website where users can post Monero memes and receive tips from other users.

There was another version of this called xmrmemes.com, but it is no longer around.

Looking forward to seeing some cool memes!

Keystone wallet started campaign for adding Monero support on their hardware wallet.
They also want to be the first hardware wallet to support native Monero Mnemonic Seed, which has 13-25 word seed phrases and is different from the regular BIP39 seed phrases followed by other blockchains.

We greatly appreciate Monero (XMR) for its unwavering commitment to privacy and security in the cryptocurrency space. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Monero employs advanced features like stealth addresses and ring signatures, ensuring that transactions remain confidential and untraceable. This focus on anonymity not only empowers users to have full control over their financial data but also promotes a more equitable and decentralized financial system. In an era where privacy concerns are paramount, Monero stands out as a vital player in preserving individual freedom in financial transactions.

It's quite funny to read this beautiful text full of idealism about privacy and "promoting a more equitable and decentralized financial system", while you are a company which is collaborating with LE and oppressing your users with KYC and AML procedures:

By creating an order on the website, the Client agrees that an AML/KYC check may be carried out against him.

  2. If, based on the results of the analysis of AML-cryptocurrency assets, a risk higher than 40% is identified, or any of the following labels are received:

    DARK SERVICE
    SCAM
    STOLEN
    MIXING (MIXER)
    SEXTORTION
    RANSOMWARE
    HACK
    PHISHING
    TERRORISM FINANCING
    FRAUD
    BLACKLIST
    STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
    CYBERCRIME ORGANIZATION
    NARCOTICS
    CHILD ABUSE
    HUMAN TRAFFICKING
    SANCTIONS
    GAMBLING (Casino, Betting, etc.)

And other high-risk assets, the Client’s transaction may be frozen for an indefinite period until complete identification verification (KYC) is completed.

Your privacy policy is quite intrusive too: https://quickex.io/docs/en-privacy-policy

Is it your conception of a more equitable and decentralized financial system?

Monero Expert Fact Checks Chainalysis Video Claiming XMR Transactions Can Be Traced
Users can avoid sharing their IP address while using XMR by running their own node on the network, said former Monero committee member Csilla Brimer.
A Monero committee member has refuted recent allegations based on a leaked Chainalysis presentation to the IRS that implies the privacy-focused cryptocurrency can be traced.

Monero (XMR) is the world’s most popular privacy coin and is specifically built to hide the addresses and transactions of those on its network.

As probably everyone knows, Kraken is forced to delist Monero in EU - What it really does is makes Monero stronger by eliminating paper sells and we can still easily use Kraken (or any other exchange that delisted Monero) by adding just one hop that I described in my post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5511533.0

This is the simplest solution for people who want to continue using their favorite exchange without getting into poor UX DeX or low liquidity / low trust / high fees exchanges that still provide Monero.

Hopefully better solutions as Serai will soon™ hit the road.

Thanks man

Sad to see this old thread nearly dead.

I sustain it was (nearly) killed more by the anti-maxi hoard and "the state" than by anything wrong with Monero.

Bottom line though has not yet changed.  Bitcoin is evolving to be the thing Satoshi meant for it to be.

Monero still points the way in areas Bitcoin has fallen short.

Both will exist for some time.

Eventually?  Tech built on Bitcoin could rival Monero's privacy advantage?

Until then...

Oh.. I forgot to mention... somehow XMR hashrate seems to be organically climbing to all time highs?  Perhaps?

The article says the criminals were trying to launder money using Monero, which is considered strictly confidential, but the suspect was identified by tracking the flow.
