XMR

👀

Holy molly! What a mess with Coincard, that is terrible news for self custody and will make it even harder for all crypto communities in general.

The solution is simple, multi Sig, never do simple Sig, you need more than one seed to unlock your wallet, if you don't you are not doing it right.

Who the F.... Is selling Gold right now? The manipulation is blatant already, no care for appearances any more....

The low IQ "leaders" of the world today:

This will be interesting to follow closely, I just hope the arguments move to digested data and proper analysis, we all want Nostr to succeed independent of the side we are taking

🔥 Here’s the structural difference most people missed:

In 2025, Monero was delisted from 73 exchanges. Spot liquidity didn’t disappear, It became scarce

The demand is showing either way, this should let you know all you need to know about the interest in the asset.

#XMR #Monero

🚨 Wallet and Software Update Reminder:

Update to the latest wallet version and related software following a recent network update. This ensures compatibility with ongoing protocol improvements and protects against potential vulnerabilities.

Users are advised to check the official Monero Research Lab (MRL) resources for the latest releases, as these updates often include optimizations for transaction efficiency and privacy enhancement

🚨 Monero Debate on Consensus Mechanism Shift:

Contributors are actively discussing a potential transition from PoW to proof-of-stake (PoS) for Monero, drawing parallels to Zcash's recent changes.

Proponents argue it could address scalability issues and reduce energy consumption while maintaining privacy, but critics warn it might undermine Monero's decentralization and fungibility core tenets that have kept XMR in the top 30 by market cap.

This conversation is gaining traction in forums, with some fearing a drop in value similar to Zcash's trajectory.

No formal proposal has been tabled yet, but it's a hot topic in the Monero Research Lab.

What your thoughts?

📰 Monero Community and Development Updates:

Monero’s community is active, recent codebase updates including:

• GUI v0.18.4.1 and CLI v0.18.4.1 releases (July 30-31, 2025), focusing on wallet stability and node efficiency.

• Six community-funded proposals, including browser wallets and BTCPay Server integration, were approved on July 25, 2025, signaling robust ecosystem growth.

• The upcoming Seraphis protocol upgrade (Q4 2025) aims to enhance privacy with quantum-resistant cryptography and smaller transaction sizes.

Looking for a LN excellent payment wallet supporting #Monero and #Bitcoin?

Cake Wallet is an excellent choice:

https://cakewallet.com/

Not for your savings since it still does not supports any serious Hardware Wallet (only ledger ATM 👎), but the road map shows Keystone and Foundation and that is promising, more over because their Desktop wallet is excellent as well, soon supporting LN as well.

This guys are busy and delivering year after year... 🔥

NEWS: WinnerMining Cloud Mining Platform Adds Monero Support

On July 2, 2025, WinnerMining, a cloud mining platform, announced support for XMR (Monero) recharges, allowing users to participate in mining services while leveraging Monero’s privacy features. This move aligns with growing demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and offers users a way to earn crypto income anonymously. This is significant as it expands Monero’s utility in cloud mining, potentially increasing its adoption.

NEWS: Proton Petition for Monero Payment Support Gains Traction

A petition on Change.org, promoted via X posts on June 30 and July 1, 2025, calls for Proton, a privacy-focused service provider, to add Monero payment support. This reflects community demand for integrating Monero into privacy-centric platforms, enhancing its real-world use case for anonymous transactions.

I though this was a fake, it is real, it seems in The Daily Star, LOL!

The claim that aliens are not contacting Earth because of Vladimir Putin appears to stem from a January 22, 2022, article by The Daily Star, titled "Vladimir Putin's war threats are why aliens haven't made first contact, expert claims." The article quotes Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the UK Ministry of Defence

If you are still using Desktop Microsoft Windows or Apple iOS you don't really care enough about your privacy

Good to observe some states taking the right steps to be more in control of their digital arena.

People ask me often if Cake Wallet is good,

My answer: it is!, but, as a privacy middleware wallet, specially if you are transacting with Bitcoin.

Cake Wallet

now supporting coin join and silent payments for Bitcoin has done a lot more than most Bitcoin wallets, only Samurai Wallet used to be that privacy oriented while it could.

Why?

No decent seed signer (HW) support. To the best of my knowledge as I write this post, it only supports Ledger, which is, probably the worst Seed Signer considering the scandals of that company.

Some think this is not a big deal, IMO, it is, hence only for pocket cash and as a middle ware while transacting, same used to be with Sanourai Wallet.

Now, while I have not seen plans to support Trezor or Cypherock or Tangem (all HW supporting XMR), there is a work in progress to support a very good one: Keystone. That would be a game changer, if that hapoens soon... EXCELLENT!

Inviting Peter S. to this conference again is puzzling, this individual is virtual "rat poison " for the Bitcoin Conference...

Remembering the good times when Bitcoin was pushed as the solution with the slogan "fix the money, fix the world"...

Nowadays, Blackrock and institutional money, as expected, taking over, it is only a matter of time now, full control over mining corporations, CEX supply, and the cherry of the pie... influence over core devs, this will be the ultimate test... tic toc tic toc

Glad we have Monero to keep the cypherpunks spirit alive.

Yo, AI, Why is Monero up today?

Monero (XMR) has seen a significant price increase, rising 13% over the past week to $294.16. This surge follows a technical pattern similar to its 2021 bull run, where the price climbed after a period of range-bound movement. Recent on-chain data shows an increase in trading volume and a positive Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) reading, suggesting continued buying pressure. Additionally, Monero's privacy features continue to attract interest, particularly in a landscape where demand for secure transactions is growing.

Recent news highlights Monero's potential to revisit the $300 mark, driven by a bullish technical setup and on-chain indicators. Analysts note that XMR's price has been volatile, with resistance levels at $230 and $235 and support at $200 and $193. The coin's privacy advantages and the increasing importance of secure transactions could drive further adoption, though regulatory pressures and enhanced blockchain analytics pose risks. Monero has also shown a long-term bullish shift with a golden crossover, breaking out of a consolidation pattern, which further supports a positive outlook.

now that is an explosive post, #lol

Germany's previous administration was loaded with a bunch of incompetent leaders, many of then with fascist tendencies, the new administration seems to be nothing but a continuation, feel sorry for the good German people that have been fighting out of this corrupted uniparty and failed.

#meme #xmr

Every time I observe the #Monero brotherhood engaged in a discussion with Bitcoin cultists I wonder why they do that. useless and a waste of time. I suggest, mute and block and ignore.I used to try helping years ago but realized that you can't have a logical discussion with a person that is in a Bitcoin cult, same with a Monero person that thinks that everything else is garbage. Not worth it discussing.

Most Bitcoiners use Monero and do not speak up, personally, I do not know any Bifcoiner that doesn't, there, we just need to add value to the community with knowledge articlea and build more.

I have a wish lfor Monero & Nostr:

1. A Nostr oriented to Monero for zaps with a market place and gift cards, maybe Cake Wallet can make it happen with a grant to some genius Dev that take Amethyst and fork it into a Nostr Client with a cool name. Privacy first

What you guys think about ZANO?

this will be epic if done and no gold or a fraction of what it should be is found

#gold

so true

today I assisted a friend living in a country that blocks all IP addresses from all known VPN providers to install its own on a VPS paying with Monero on a non KYC provider.

In less than 30 minutes he was up and running with zero issues.

He is now a Monero student, amazed by the tech and the adoption in most online services he uses.

Pushed him to join Nostr as well, hopefully he will join the brotherhood soon

#Monero #XMR

QT has been on going for some time, the monetary policies of the previous administration has caused high inflation, official numbers (have a laugh):

2020 1.2% 2021 4.7% 2022 8.0% 2023 4.1% 2024 2.9%

The truth is that most americans struggle to buy groceries, pay for fuel, utilities and services. Most friends I have asked have their own personal inflation calculated above 15%, so clearly the government numbers are rigged to show an inflation non representative of the real situation

Now, we should be looking at employment rates and inflation among other KPIs but... What for? Is all rigged numbers anyway...

so, if the numbers are rigged with questionable adjustments, the question is:

How do we forecast when the Fed will stop the QT and start the QE?

just follow the Fed and look for smoke signs out of the press releases and interviews?

#askNostr

excellent take

few understand the importance of this chart

If you haven't heard about Monero, take 5 and check this clip

Transact with privacy by default, no additional steps are needed, just install a wallet and use it, period

one the best parts of the Monero brotherhood is how quite is in the hood, no drama, Monero is doing its thing

Explaining Monero to Grandpa

grandpa, Have you heard about Monero?

you know how we always talk about cash disapearing, CBDCs and how bad is that for our privacy, right? Well, Monero is digital money that works like cash. So, in a way, it solves that problem.

you know you have a bank account and an application in your mobile to access it, right? The bank gives you an user name and a password. You enter and you have acesss to your account, you can send money, check your balance, etc.

well, with Monero, since it is anonymous digital cash, you need an app as well to access your money, and as with the bank, you have an account number which is called an address and a password, which is called a private key, but in essence is the same, but since geeks are developing the tech and they are not street smart they complicate the terminology doing the best they can. Yes Grandpa, I know is stupid but is not much to learn. Bank Account = Monero Address and Password = Private Key.

That was easy right?

So, you install a Monero App, I like "Cake Wallet", you do so from the Android App store or iOS store and in under a minute you have an account and you are ready to rock-n-roll.

Next you want to buy some Monero to send digital cash to your grandkids and you want to do so easily with your bank fiat dollars, and inside of the Cake Wallet app you can do so with your credit card or debit card or a bank transfer, easy as pie. You want to send $50 bucks, just buy $50 bucks worth of Monero.

Now, Monero as any other global currency has an exchange rate with the US dollar, today is around $200 for 1 Monero, the ticker symbol for Monero is XMR as with the dollar is USD. So at that exchange rate you do the math (actually the application does it for you but I know you would like to check it by yourself), 50 USD divided by 200 XMR/USD = 0.25 XMR

Now this app Cake Wallet is really cool, you can access your contacts from it. You add your grandkids Monero addresses as contacts and every time you want to send them anonymous digital cash it is three clicks and you are done, click on send, select contact, add amount in dollars or Monero and click send.

Your grandkids will get the notification right away and the cash will be a available for then within 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes is the time it takes a bunch of computers around the world to validate the transaction. No worries there are more chances your bank screw up a transfer than a transaction does not work in Monero.

now you may ask how my grandkids convert it to dollars or any other fiat currency they may need to pay for good and services. Very easy, Cake Wallet allows you to sell as well, the cash is transfer to your bank account or debit card, my preference is to buy gift cards with Monero, easily and quick and them, pay for goods in stores that do not accept directly Monero, but there are online and physical stores that accept it already,

Isn't that cool?

Potential conversation a week later...

Grandpa: Hey kid, did you get the Monero I sent you?

Me: Yes! You are the best!!!

Grandpa: I have a question for you. Your cousing John asked me to send him USDT instead, he says is a stable currency like the dollar and he can use it right away.

Me: That idiot. Grandpa, the problem with USDT is that is not anonymous nor private at all, if you had an USDT account and you send him USDT from your account, John and anyone that sees that transaction will know exactly how much you have in that account and will know every transaction you had ever done, only Monero is private anonymous digital cash, as I explained you, like hard cash, no different. The rest is like the CBDCs we so much talk about, traceable, non private and pseudo anonymous but not for the receiver. USDT is a centralized company as well and can block or seize your money at any time if they wish to do so.

Grandpa: I knew it, that dumb dumb, I asked him if it was private and John told me that it was 100% private and secure. I will let him know Monero or no instant cash gift from now on.

Me: Cool, glad we talk.

Grandpa: Hey, What do you know about #Bitcoin, is it safe?

Me: Yes, but you need to know what you are doing, you woul need to run your own software on dedicated hardware and learn about different technical concepts like Layer 1 or base layer and Layer 2 networks like the Lighting Network and the concept of channels and the balance of them, there is a slow learning curve if you want to use it in the right way. The creator was not thinking about privacy when it wrote the code therefore is not ideal to transact. Little by little is improving and is a good store of value. Hey you should buy the ETF on your portfolio or perhaps best to buy stocks of MicroStrategy, that company is already a hedge fund of Bitcoin, check their chart and next time we meet, we can tall about it over a cold beer.

Grandpa: Nice!, love you kid

Me: Me too!

Explaining Monero (#XMR) to your children

Monero is like a special kind of digital money that keeps your transactions private. Imagine you have a piggy bank where you can put coins, but no one can see how many coins are inside or who you gave coins to. #Monero works the same way; it’s a currency that lets you send money to people without anyone knowing how much money you have or who you’re sending it to.

Monero uses special tricks to hide your transactions, so it’s like playing a game of hide and seek with your money. This makes it different from other digital money like #Bitcoin, where everyone can see how much money you have and who you’re sending it to.

With Monero, your transactions are hidden, and only you and the person you’re sending money to know about it.

Monero is the way

✔️ transact with privacy

✔️ no need of mixers

✔️ easy to use

✔️ vibrant community

✔️ delisted by most CEXs (governments are afraid of it, this is actually positive, less degenerates trading it less speculation)

✔️ the only decebtralized real p2p cash

✔️ friendly wallets ( cake wallet and stack wallet for mobile, cake wallet for desktop

✔️ true decentralized mining (anti ASIC, only CPU allowed)

#Bitcoin is a good store of value, good for buying and holding as you would do with gold, but it has been institutionalized and the OGs and large corps like Blackrock have a monopoly on it in a way or the other, even on the mining of it.

#Monero is what we all dream a p2p cash should be, study it before you shut it down, learn about it.

and if you are a Bitcoin maxi, sorry, I don't have time to convince you much less to educate you, don't bother neither to respond, you will be insta blocked and ignored
