With some delay but much dedication the first version of NoShore is now completed.

Its concept is to make payments simpler for end-users by transferring some of the burden to merchants and back-ends.

The back-end prepares transactions, so that all that remains to do for the user's device is to sign them.

While, technically, this allows users to stay offline throughout the process, it is important to understand that the reasoning for going this route is not security.

Instead, it is to reduce complexity, so that Monero may become accessible to broader audiences apart from tech-enthusiasts.

The section "The Big Picture" on the project site describes what NoShore's usage could look like once fully developed.

NoShore's on xmr.zone.

Hi guys! Good morning/afternoon/evening! I'd like to introduce you to Grease, an L2 for Monero that's currently in development. Anyone who wants to help would do well to do so, it's good to support new community projects (of course, always check, and Grease is open-source).

we will walk you through setting up a very powerful Monero server on TrueNAS. By completing these steps, you will be able to connect to your own self-hosted Monero node with the official Monero wallet and Cake Wallet, and you will be able to connect to your own self-hosted Monero LWS server with Edge Wallet and MyMonero.

Hello Monero.town, and hayppy 2 year anniversary! I would like to invite you to check out the latest Monero marketplace option at Uprampr.com. We started working on this back in 2023 and have integrated multiple chains including BTC, and ETH with the intention of increasing dealflow, sales velocity, and listing exposure. Additionally, with these cross chain capabilities, Uprampr is working to create a truly decentralized experience. We collect ZERO unique identifiers, including IP addresses on our users. Uprampr provides escrow services for buyer protection, no custody direct deposit for sellers, and a lot more. Please check us out and tell us what you think.

Monero.town runs on the software "lemmy" which is the reddit alternative in the Fediverse. Support the decentralised social media and donate them Monero here :)

We are at the bottom left grey corner.

Some exponential breakthrough is needed to get to the green or red lines, where quantum computers can be used for chemistry or to break older encryption like RSA.

Don't forget that your data is forever, though.
For example, there are a lot of intercepted diplomatic messages that are just waiting for quantum computers to get better. At that point, state secrets will be revealed.

The same applies for your pgp encrypted messages to share cat memes on dread.

The switch to quantum-resistant crypto is still needed.

Stablecoins are a backdoor CBDC w/ Aaron Day (MT 352)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW:Douglas Tuman and Aaron Day explore the growing threat of stablecoins as a covert form of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), with Aaron warning that the situation has worsened dramatically—"100 times worse than a year ago." He critiques the Trump administration’s stance, noting that despite public opposition to CBDCs, its policies are paving the way for a backdoor digital currency through stablecoin regulation. Key figures like Brian Brooks and Howard Lutnick—linked to major stablecoins and now in influential government roles—highlight what Aaron describes as a Silicon Valley and "PayPal mafia" takeover of policy. The proposed Genius Act and Stable Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, effectively forcing users to fund government debt and surveillance systems. With projections of $120 trillion in stablecoin transactions by 2030, Aaron calls this "turbo cancer for CBDC adoption."

The conversation shifts to solutions within the privacy coin space, emphasizing unity against technocratic control. Aaron highlights FUSD (Freedom Dollar), a private algorithmic stablecoin built on Zano, which offers an alternative by being over-collateralized with Zano rather than tied to government-backed assets. He discusses Zano's technical advantages, including its deflationary model, while defending its pre-mine as a necessary step for development funding. Both hosts stress the importance of collaboration across privacy projects like Monero, Tari, and Zano to resist systemic control. They also preview Porkfest, where they’ll host a privacy tent and welcome Ross Ulbricht and his mother Lynn, who is launching a new advocacy initiative.

Despite all the obvious benefits of mollywopping the middlemen with P2P money, the thing people can't seem to handle is the 10 block lock (~20 min delay). I like to tell people it takes a minute to launder Monero so it comes out scrubbed. How do you explain the 10 block lock as a benefit not a bug?

Hello everyone! Good morning/afternoon/evening!

Disclaimer: I'm not being sponsored or receiving any money for this, I'm doing it because I think ArWeb will be EXTREMELY useful for the Monero community, we have to get rid of CloudFlare.

Hello glowies. We know you are here. We hope one day you defect to our side and use your skills and talents to help the people free themselves from technocrats, statists and authoritarians. Until then, in Monero we trust. Have a nice day.

How well does Monero CLI run on something like a Raspberry Pi?

I’ve read that setting up your own node and doing solo mining helps further decentralise Monero. However, can a Raspberry Pi or multiple ones, really make a difference?

I’m not interested in actual earnings from mining. Only helping the network.

Switched from recommending getmonero.org to usexmr.com Noticed noobs respond better to it. Pamphlets are excellent. Thinking I'll make a few stickers up and leave them around. Great community initiative.

»Illegale Transaktionen - Monero – Eine Kryptowährung entzieht sich jeglicher Kontrolle:
Die Kryptowährung Monero ermöglicht Terrorfinanzierung und den Handel mit kinderpornografischem Material im Darknet«

Kryptowährungen werden allgemein von Kriminellen genutzt und @monero ist so zu sagen deren @torproject und kann auch sinnvoll genutzt werden. Ich bin dem gegenüber trotzdem sehr kritisch.

I want to share my monero with the devoted workers over there at OF.

On Trocador it's possible that I will need to disconnect my VPN to redeem the card, and that's not an option.

With Cake wallet, there is a US-only mastercard, but I would like to make international payments too.

How do you pay for OF and the likes?

UPDATE : I have tried using Cake Pay and I did not receive a card to redeem!

$25 lost... I remember now that when buying the card, I had to check a box to confirm that I was NOT using a VPN. I was. I had misread it. I am going to try my luck with their support.

In-App Monero

This project is a great use-case for Monero, and sacrificed creating it's own cryptocurrency to help Monero's adoption.

It already features in-app Monero payments, and will be in the future decentralizing out the Wireguard nodes, starting with Monero influencers getting the first offers. Let's first understand what it is, then how it helps Monero.

Browser Fingerprints

LibreWolf is marketed as “anti-fingerprint”, but this web browser can’t even beat fingerprint-com’s free demo,

I closed Librewolf, then re-opened it. And that same ID comes up on repeat visits, even in private mode. But then Librewolf installed on a different VM: with the same default settings and version, produces a DIFFERENT UNIQUE fingerprint,

Brave

Brave Browser is also vulnerable to complete fingerprinting.

Brave’s “anti-fingerprint” mode does not change these results. Fingerprint.com is on THOUSANDS of websites, through their Javascript and API calls. TrustPilot, Western Union, TD-Ameritrade, Dropbox, & 6 thousand others. You’re very likely using sites with their services, without even knowing it.

Tor Browser Breaks Websites

The government made Tor Browser to protect them, and NOT for your privacy.

Even if Tor IPs aren't blocked, then blocking JavaScript in "strict" mode breaks many websites.

HydraVeil

HydraVeil has the goal of allowing you to separate your life into isolated browser fingerprint profiles.

3 pieces:

It's 3 things:

a) a replacement for virtual machines

b) a linux browser distribution

c) VPN or Tor->socks5 proxies, with isolated burner Monero billing

Replace Virtual Machines

HydraVeil launches isolated profiles. Each of these profiles has a second graphical environment that realistically creates a new screen display size, browser version, and matches your timezone to the IP address.

Load Speeds

We discussed in the articles linked below, how Cloudflare measures and records ping speeds, across multiple services.

VPN or Tor->Socks5 Proxies

With HydraVeil, each profile gets its own IP address, giving you a new load speed. These can be completely anonymous as it's browser-only, so a different VPN can be used system-wide. There's also Tor -> socks5 options for sites that block Tor, such as MoneroTown. Each gets it's own burner Monero billing.

Browser Distro

HydraVeil acts like a 2nd Linux distro for browsers. We removed the telemetry and spyware from these browsers, while as Firefox from other Linux distros has malware by default.

Monero's Use-Case:

Monero's unparalleled privacy makes it the strongest choice for powering this VPN, since it provides the best cover for which profiles are you. By offering such incredible utility, HydraVeil gives an excellent use-case for Monero adoption, and directly encourages users to keep an update-to-date sync'ed wallet for regular use.

XMRBazaar

This is a large and ambitious project, especially for an organization without KYC bank accounts, that is registered purely with XMRBazaar, as a legal system. We seek to encourage awareness of the Bazaar, and establish a parallel economy outside traditional restrictive institutions.

Context

Hi guys! Good morning/afternoon/evening! Well, the title already explains everything, we need more TRULY decentralized marketplaces for Monero, I really feel that if we depend on XMRBaazar we're in big trouble... Some I can mention:

• The site is not Decentralized and can be blocked/closed;
• We don't have .onion and .i2p (which should be ESSENTIAL). (There are probably more, but I forgot).

My idea is that it is possible to create an open-source marketplace protocol that works together with Monero and anonymity networks (such as TOR, I2P and others, take a look at particl, as we can use it as an example), we have to make sure that Monero can ALWAYS be used regardless of what happens (and preserving the privacy and anonymity of EVERYONE), that's why I'm making this post as a place where the community can discuss this, I hope we have good results, because Monero is not just code, it's YOU (and me) who want a future where everyone can sell and buy what they want without discrimination and tracking, Monero is fundamental for us to have a future with freedom and with Anonymity and privacy of our information.

Long live Monero and all our amazing community full of great researchers to ordinary civilians who want their finances to be private.

I'm new to everything. Trying to spool up.

As most of you probably know coinbase recently got hacked and personal information including customers ID's, phone numbers, emails, home addresses, balances and transaction histories are now in the hands of the hackers.

These attackers now know exactly how much crypto people hold and where they live.

This breach clearly shows the dangers of using KYC exchanges and why no-KYC might be the best solution.
