Monero turns 10 today! 🥳
Be advised, openmonero has been "hacked" before and users lost funds held in the sites escrow. I highly recommend to use the decentralized Retoswap over this.
I might need help with the tor config after the upcoming server migration. I should be able to handle exporting and importing the database & this time I'll be using ansible for the install instead of a manual docker config.
The server is getting migrated soon, i did not really know what i was doing when i initially set this up.
It's not really but the paper suggested some improvements that would make the transactions waaaay harder to link to a trade. Definitely a net-positive for privacy.
No, the transaction tracing relies on the transparent bitcoin chain. It does not work for the off-chain payment methods and especially not for something super private like cash by mail.
I think your podcast link might be broken.
Monero is untraceable if used correctly. Aleksanteri Kivimäki was not busted because of "Monero tracing". I don't believe anyone has, usually it is simple amount and timing analysis on the swaps in and out of Monero. If someone gets a 5000 XMR ransomware payment and a random guy suddenly deposits 5000 XMR into a centralized exchange, of course you can "trace" that but you are tracing metadata, not Monero itself. Monero is only one tool in the opsec belt.
Make sure your wallet is up-to-date and pick a trusted community remote node like:
Edit: Removed the kyun node. Apparently it's not an official kyun node and ran by an anon.
It would greatly help if you would actually describe your project instead of having people search for your account on a different site.
Yes! That is possible, check out this guide. Pruned db is smaller but it will first do a full sync and then prune it so you still need enough storage for the "peak".
Raspberries lack physical AES instructions, I am not exaggerating when I say this could take 5-6 weeks to sync. There are other SBCs like the Rockpro 64 that would be way better suited for a node but the most economical option is getting used mini-pcs from ebay for $50.
It will have high RAM usage because it is constantly writing and reading during sync.
