Is Monero traceable? And why scaling matters for privacy w/ Francisco Cabanas (ArticMine) (MT 324)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews ArticMine, a monero core team member and well known Monero contributor specializing in scaling and a blockchain surveillance expert.

They dive into the traceability of Monero, discussing recent events around leaked Chainalysis videos. They explore how privacy features such as ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions safeguard Monero users from blockchain surveillance.

The conversation also covers the implementation of Dandelion technology, which further protects user privacy by obscuring IP addresses. Throughout, they emphasize the strengths of Monero's privacy model while addressing common misconceptions about its traceability.

Hey guys so I’m struggling Getting Monero all these past years so is there any trustworthy Centralized or Decentralized Exchanges you recommend for Buying Bitcoins Or Litecoins Cheaply to Swap Them for XMR and I especially need an App to buy them since I don’t have a PC Yet I tried Coinbase but they need so much ID Verifications including My Drivers license and home address And binance is just scummy Garbage So Should I Go With Kraken or Should I use Any Dexs or P2PExs like Robosats or Paxful and I will use Android Since iOS sucks for buying Crypto in my region Kingdom of Saudi Arabia I hope you all can see how much this has been difficult for me to try Monero All along when I’ve should’ve had at leatherone this day Thank you and I wish you all great luck sometime in 2025

Hello,

To recap Sigmanero.org is a website where you can make bets with other anonymous users with monero using multisig wallets to safeguard your funds.

Changes since August:

• now you can place a bet and leave the website. If the bet is matched, both you and the counterparty login at a pre-agreed time to complete the multisig wallet.

• the time to set up the multisig is set by whoever offers the bet and this set up time will be clear to who is accepting the bet.

• Besides sports, we added new Prediction Markets. You can place bets on the next US president -- let us know what other prediction markets you would like to see!

• for users that won bets but lost their seed keys, we added the option to request a bet refund. We ask the counterparty to sign a transfer with a refund of the original amounts to both parties -- no guarantee the counterparty will sign the transfer, but worth a try if you really lost your seed key!

Feedback always welcome!

I love that she said the community is "deeply committed to the principles of privacy and security" at 4 min 30 seconds.

@[email protected] brought up the issue of using samourai wallet nodes in Mysu.

I agree that samourai wallet nodes should be removed, but I'm wondering which other nodes we should (and more importantly should not) use by default?
Should I just copy random nodes with good uptime history from https://monero.fail/, or is there some consensus in the community about some nodes being a little bit more trustworthy, e.g. due to being run by trusted community members?
Anyway, here is the list of the current default nodes: https://codeberg.org/anoncontributorxmr/mysu/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/net/mynero/wallet/data/DefaultNodes.kt, your feedback is welcome.

Hey, guys. I started using monero not so long ago, but I often need to swap SOL, BTC, ETH to Monero and vice versa. Could you recommend services where I can do it with protecting my anonymity, coz it's different blockchains?

Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform:

I question the legitimacy of Google to keep us safe, when their Worksheets are being rampantly abused by hackers: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/google-sheets/hacked.html

Hello everyone,

As many of you know, getmonero.org has been using the same design for quite some time now. While it's served us well, some community members have mentioned that the current look is starting to feel a bit dated & amateur.

The Monero Website work group is looking for some more community feedback to be discussed at the next meeting (feel free to join!).

Would you prefer to keep the current design, or should we consider refreshing it? We’ve received two alternative concepts by community members Diego and hammermann (linked below) and would love to get your feedback.

Please let us know your thoughts! What do you like about the current site? What would you change? If you prefer one of the new concepts, tell us why. Your input is invaluable as we move forward with making any potential changes.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Links to the concepts:

1. Redesign Concept - Diego
2. Redesign Concept - hammermann

Thanks in advance! :)

Mark your calendars for the last iteration of the Monero Meetup in Offenbach (Germany) in the shadow of the ECB tower. On the 10th of October, we will gather one final time in Offebach. The goal is to bring the Monero community together in person to learn from each other and connect.

Check out the website, join the SimpleX group and hope to see you there ;)

Using Statistics to Improve Monero with Rucknium (MT 323)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Rucknium, an empirical microeconomist and Monero Research Lab member specializing in probability and statistical analysis who has made some very impressive contributions to Monero. Including discovering a way to speed up monero transaction confirmations by 60 seconds!

In this first ever interview, Rucknium maintains his anonymity by typing his responses and having a monero friend sit in to read his answers. Tremendous thank you to Patchy319 for doing so!

The conversation centers around Monero’s privacy technology, scalability, and Rucknium’s contributions to the project. They highlight the challenges of Monero’s scalability, including node performance and transaction volume, as well as ongoing efforts to address these issues through StressNet, Network-level privacy solutions like Dandelion++ and potential improvements through the Clover protocol are also explored. We also get to hear a preview of Rucknium’s upcoming presentation at Monerotopia24 Confer!
