Hello Moneros, can you confirm this is a scam ? I mean, is possible that a transaction to be censored in Monero ? I'm pretty sure it's fake

techleaks has been a bad actor for a long time.
i dont remember why he initially got pissed at Monero people.
the Cake Wallet repo is here. MIT license.
thanks for reply, but you didn't answered, can you confirm it's a fake screenshot ? I checked his profile and it's seems that he is lying on some things about Monero like all nodes are run by CA, so I didn't know I was an CA agent 😆
true true
I can't confirm it or not since I dont have any position with Cake.
I'm also not going to take the time to search the codebase for something that implements that.
But I'll say
if it was found out they were doing this, they would be ostracized immediately.
why would they risk their position and popularity to censor a few TXOs?
it makes zero sense.
so I'll trust the community to enforce the correct values here.
techleaks seems to have psychological problems 🤷
nope, that's some other repo with the same name. this is the Cake Wallet we're talking about https://walletscrutiny.com/android/com.cakewallet.cake_wallet/
excuse me?
the GitHub link on the page you shared is the same as what I posted.
And that page explains that it's the link to a GitHub for something else with the same name
that's not what it says bro
Close enough. Work with me here
its not anybody else's fault you don't understand what words mean
I immediately don't trust it because it comes from Techleaks (bad faith Dero shill that shits on Monero every chance he gets). Luke Parker broke the privacy of his Dero transaction earlier last year hes probably still mad about that.
Pretty sure this is fake (or maybe has something to do with the user using their 3rd party exchange providers not Cake?). If this was happening the Monero community would immediately be all over Cake for doing this, but if you don't trust Cake, use your own node, or just switch to Monerujo or Stack. Good mobile wallets too.
"the Monero community would immediately be all over cake"
lmao, naive as fuck
They couldn't even add a simple service status bulletin to their wallet without immediate backlash and a rushed update to disable it.
But overtly blacklisting transactions will totally go unnoticed. Lol.
You might be right but you're this close to being wrong at best 🤏
Trusting humans leaves you no margin of error.
Service status bulletin sounds reproducible for everyone, overt blacklisting sounds like the type of thing a lot of people will ignore saying "works on my Machine™️"
We're all trusting humans to varying degrees even with Monero
Maybe. I think it's very very unlikely. Worst case, say you're right, it's just a temporary setback. You can just switch to a different wallet and rebroadcast your transaction.
True, I guess that would also make it a nearly pointless method of attack
Not sure what you're actually asking here. The screenshot looks like classic realist/denialist interaction, without context it looks like the attack is correct based on the suspicious defensive behavior on the other side
Is it possible for a node to censor a transaction if the node don't know who send to who nor the amount ? Maybe the node can block every transactions but I was thinking it's impossible to specifically target an address ?
Not sure, I don't 100% trust Monero's privacy myself
No. Miners would need to do the censoring.
Thanks to its encryption Monero is less effected by a 51% attack as well as P2P pool basically guarantees that transactions will get through.
The only thing state actors could do is control the mining network (maybe 80%) and mine empty blocks slowing down the transaction throughput.
But thanks to the dynamic blocksize algo this will penalise and self correct. Especially when financially broken states don't have the means to pay for mining disruption and price suppression any more.
