g your own personal node, you pretty much stop everything that they talked about.

noobs should not be getting into bitcoin. Using it sovereign on chain makes high fees a problem and using it unlightening in most cases picks it custodial and therefore a problem. Monero is where the real work is

Odd, clicking that link does not appear to work for me, but if I type it in manually, it works.

just found out about a new market tracking site at https://haveno.markets. Have a look.

Not to mention that since Big Tech, which is very invested in AI, is completely propping up the fiat stock markets. And so when it does eventually crash, it's going to be quite bad.

It's amazing to see just how steady we have held despite all of this action.

You now have the ability to see how many listings are on #XMRBazaar super easily. I like the new look

Key Facts about Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) in Monero

Enhancing Privacy and Scalability While Maintaining Decentralization

1

What is FCMP++

FCMP++ is an independent protocol in Monero, similar to Seraphis. It includes a new membership proof and a distinct spend-auth/linkability proof. Both enhance privacy without revealing the origin of the transaction.

2

How It Works

It verifies that the input is part of the full set of blockchain outputs within a Zero Knowledge (ZK) proof. This ensures privacy by hiding which specific output is being spent.

3

Privacy First

FCMP++ increases privacy by expanding the anonymity set from 1 in 16 outputs to 1 in 100 million. It’s the output being spent that remains hidden, not the input.

4

Efficiency

FCMP++ optimizes Monero’s computational resources, allowing it to scale even as the blockchain grows. It ensures fast verification while keeping the privacy intact.

5

No Centralization Risks

Unlike some privacy protocols, FCMP++ doesn’t rely on trusted setups or third parties. Monero remains fully decentralized, which ensures trustless privacy.

6

Auditability & Trust

FCMP++ guarantees that all transaction inputs are verified on the blockchain. This ensures auditability without compromising privacy.

7

Scalability Benefits

Monero can scale without losing privacy or fungibility, even as the blockchain expands. FCMP++ ensures privacy for all users, regardless of blockchain size.

8

Crypto-Native Approach

FCMP++ is designed with cryptographic rigor and helps protect Monero from attacks that try to de-anonymize transactions.

9

Advancing Privacy Standards

With FCMP++, Monero transactions stay fully unlinkable and untraceable. This cements Monero’s place as the leading privacy coin.

10

Appreciating the Devs

Huge thanks to Luke Parker (@kayabaNerve) and the entire dev team for their work on FCMP++. Your efforts are pushing Monero’s privacy to the next level!

I’m totally on board with private messaging, private money, private document sharing, and am now trying to migrate to a more private phone.

The Linux thing though… That’s the toughest hurdle, at least for old folks like me.

I briefly looked into Linux like fifteen years ago. I remember at that time a lot of Linux people used a program called ‘vi’ which was their version of Notepad. The arcane keyboard commands required to perform simple tasks that would ordinarily be done with a quick mouse click or arrow key were such a turnoff. It wasn’t that the program was unlearnable; given enough time, I no doubt would’ve picked it up. It just seemed like whoever created that thing made it *intentionally* difficult to use.

I’m guessing that particular app isn’t a thing anymore, but the whole experience kind of gave me a mentality of, “Linux users like doing things the hard way.” Whether it was the expectation that users compile their own apps, or watching these guys repeatedly typing ‘sudo’ time after time before each command line operation, it felt like the Linux community as a whole just enjoyed making simple tasks unnecessarily difficult.

That said, it’s been nearly two decades and big tech has become a force for evil, surveillance, and censorship. Maybe it’s time to give Linux another look. Perhaps typing ‘sudo’ a few dozen times per day and memorizing an obscure keyboard combination to move the cursor up a line in my text editor is a small price to pay for a more secure and private operating system.

Have a look at Linux Mint. It is very beginner friendly. And it's personally what I choose to use for my system.

Monero has 0.85% inflation per year and is falling toward an asymptotically zero inflation rate over time. Since its inflation rate is actually less than that of gold, it's still a fantastic store of value, and I may or may not be storing long-term value in it, but you will never know.

lol. I saw your previous reply before I saw this one and sent you the link anyway.
