Audit Monero supply
There is a command for monerod called
print_coinbase_tx_sum
that accepts the parameters
start_height and block_count
You get the current money supply by setting start_height to zero (0) and block_count to the current block height (e.g. 3163053).
print_coinbase_tx_sum
If you are running a Monero node in a Docker container like @sethforprivacy described (see linked tutorial below), the command to get the total supply is
docker exec monerod /usr/local/bin/monerod print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 3163053

The WHO's new “pandemic” definition is a massive power grab. It's too vague, undermines national sovereignty, and risks overreaction for minor outbreaks. Centralizing control like this threatens our freedoms and autonomy.

Monero has been online continuously for over 10 years and its building blocks have been scientifically audited many times. The probability of an inflation bug in Monero is like spotting a snowflake in the Sahara.
With Monero (XMR) you can conduct transactions without revealing your financial history. Each coin is equal in value and not tainted by past usage.
"404" is not only an error code, but also a motto for life.

Traceability on the blockchain of Bitcoin or Ethereum can improve the ability of government authorities to identify the owners. This is not possible on the blockchain of Monero. Monero owners are protected from arbitrary state interference.

ETFs make it easy for folks to invest in a variety of assets, so they boost financial freedom and choice. But when big players like BlackRock are involved, ETFs also mean more central control through the financial elite manipulating markets.
ASIC — Mining or Resistance
Monero's approach to mining differs significantly from Bitcoin's.
Here's why ASIC-resistant Monero mining is better or more decentralized than Bitcoin's ASIC mining.
🧵👇🏻
Pros of ASIC-resistant Monero Mining
Equal Access
Monero's RandomX algorithm is designed to be ASIC-resistant, favoring general-purpose CPUs, making mining more accessible to everyday users.
Decentralization
With CPUs, the network avoids centralization by large ASIC farms, ensuring a more distributed mining landscape.
Security
Diverse miner participation reduces the risk of 51% attacks since power isn't concentrated in a few hands.
Innovation
Encourages the development of more efficient algorithms for general-purpose hardware, promoting broader tech advancements.
Cons of ASIC-resistant Monero Mining
Lower Efficiency
CPUs are less efficient compared to ASICs in terms of hash power per watt, potentially leading to higher energy consumption for the same hash rate.
Market Volatility
The lack of specialized hardware can make mining profitability more sensitive to market fluctuations.
Bitcoin's ASIC Mining Pros
High Efficiency
ASICs are optimized for SHA-256, making Bitcoin mining highly efficient in terms of power consumption and hash rate.
Stability
A more predictable mining landscape due to specialized, stable hardware and established mining farms.
Bitcoin's ASIC Mining Cons
Centralization
Mining is dominated by a few large players with substantial resources to afford ASICs, leading to potential centralization.
Entry Barriers
High costs of ASICs prevent average users from participating, reducing overall network decentralization.
In sum: Monero's approach with RandomX promotes a more decentralized and inclusive mining ecosystem compared to Bitcoin's ASIC-dominated environment, despite some trade-offs in efficiency.
