Thanks!

No, I don’t use it either

Er, I made a typo. I meant to say garnet instead of amethyst

If you’d like to avoid the disaster of a website that is Twitter, you can replace the “twitter.com” or “x.com” with “xcancel.com”. yt-dlp can also download Twitter videos

Does anyone know how to add a #monero address to the nostr profile so it can be detected by amethyst?

I also remember there was another nostr monero client that would detect the address in the bio, but i forgot the name. Does anyone actually use that?

And by "fix", I mean it just holds the transactions privately until the channel is closed (so the funds are actually moved). Before that you are just moving a bunch of IOUs around

The reason lightning fixes it is because it bypasses the blockchain, defating the purpose of a cryptocurrency's security in the first place. Also, this video doesn't even seem to mention Monero (checking the transcript) and this video is 6 years old. Monero has changed a huge amount in 6 years

My apologies, coracle decided to crap out

Alright, since you don’t seem to be learning by people telling you the same fact and correcting you over and over, how about you learn by doing.

I challenge you to trace the transactions associated with the #monero donation address in my bio. Good luck, you are going to need it. You’ll also need a quantum computer that doesn’t exist yet.

Every blockchain based cryptocurrency has a block explorer my guy. It’s just that with Monero you can’t see who’s sending money to who and how much

Have you taken anything from this entire argument? Please just read the Monero docs or look at a block explorer if you’re still confused

Correction: silent payments do obscure destinations and senders well, but if you don’t control at least one of the transactions inputs your privacy can be compromised by the sender. Silent payments still only obscure one hop in a transaction

I don't know how many times this has to be said, but Monero's privacy is better than Bitcoin. With Bitcoin silent payments, you are just obscuring a single step in a chain of transactions. Unless everybody uses silent payments, everyone can see where the money came from and where it went. Monero makes it impossible to see who received the currency and it's futile to try to determine who sent it based on the amount of possibilities. Unless privacy is on by default it's not going to work. See: Zcash

It is disingenuous to call stealth addresses the recipients address. They are addresses that are derived from the recipients address but can’t be tied back to the receiver except by the receiver themselves, so point 2 is basically a lie the way most people would interpret it.

Payment channels are not even a contender for privacy in comparison. Unless this new channel uses some technology im unaware of, it’s using Lightning’s centralized, easily monitored tunnels. No reason to put a bandaid on top of a already flawed system

1st point: true, 2nd point: completely false, 3rd point: true, every transaction has 16 possible senders. With the upcoming FCMP upgrade every transaction will appear as if anyone in the entire network could have sent it

My address in bio 😉😏

Yes, but all transactions are private so you can’t see the amounts or who sent or received the Monero.

There is one special case of coinbase transactions, where the network pays miners in new Monero. In that case the transactions are partially transparent to show the amount sent to make the total Monero supply transparent

The #monero price yesterday for some reason:

That is the total supply in existence. It isn't really possible to know the total circulating amount of any given currency, as some gets lost over time

While I’m not really sure how mining interfaces with the kernel, I do know that xmrig (the best RandomX miner) runs faster as root because it can change kernel CPU and memory paging settings. The RandomX hash algorithm is specifically designed to run best on CPUs, so that anyone trying to make an ASIC would basically have to make a pseudo-CPU which is very expensive. These ASICS do exist but they thankfully don’t get better efficiency over the best CPUs yet from what I’ve heard.
