Kraken has announced that it will stop trading and deposits for Monero in the European Economic Area from October 31, 2024, citing regulatory and compliance obligations. The exchange will convert any remaining tokens into Bitcoin if users do not withdraw them by December 31, 2024. This decision follows regulatory developments in the European Union prohibiting the use of privacy-focused tokens like Monero.

People now uses haveno-reto.com , it even replaced localmonero (FIAT + Crypto in P2P )

haveno.markets -> good #Monero price tracker rid of Coingecko/CoinMarketCap

monero.boats is also nice

Some of my friends I onboarded on monero complained about long syncing times for their wallets:

So I rant my own full node and gave them a private hidden-service.

Now they enjoys a smooth experience, on using monero and I protect their own privacy.

Do the same to push monero towards decentralization, while on-boarding people you know

Satoshi wanted to add anonymity & privacy in Bitcoin.

Hal Finney also wanted to and he specifically told that "if the digital currency you have to use isnt private or anonymous, it will harm society instead of deserving it".

Bitcoiners are saying "we fight against the FIAT" when in realities they're shilling it to institutions and governments who are seeking it for collateralized loans that will empower the FIAT instead of starving it.

They thinks their asset is providing freedom and threatening states when countries are regulating it because being sufficiently weak while currencies like Monero are getting widely banned and targeted of misinformation and speculative attacks.

Yes you can it's activated/implemented by default on each haveno trade (one multisig per trade), it's managed by the software so you dont need to modify your setup but the wallet-cli or rino supports multisig

Nostr can be extremely dangerous for people not using VPNs/Tor, because they loads images from any URL.

So someone who needs to capture the IP of someone, can simply link to the victim an image-powered "IP grabber/logger" to get the IP of the victim.

(1) Regarding the left side of your charts, you write that monero does not (red x) publish all transactions by default, but it does. Here they are: https://localmonero.co/blocks/

(2) Still on the left side, you write that monero encrypts the sender and the recipient, but it does not. If it did, you could name the encryption standard it uses for that. But it doesn't, so you can't. (Lightning uses the Sphinx encryption standard for that.)

(3) On the right side of your chart, you write that lightning does not (red x) encrypt the recipient or the amount from all nodes. It does. It uses the Sphinx encryption standard for that. Not even the last node in the route knows who the recipient is or what amount the sender sent.

(4) Still on the right side, you write that lightning does not (red x) hide your ip address by default. It does. Lightning wallets and nodes do not reveal their ip addresses by default. To reveal your ip address, you first have to set up port forwarding on the standard lightning port (or pick a different one), and then you have to make a choice: do you want to reveal your *real* ip address or use tor? Most people choose to use tor which is why over 70% of lightning nodes are on tor:

You dont need to know the amount transacted when you know channel states.

You can cause blockchain bloat on all blockchains, but on monero it goes pretty well:

For example, on bitcoin when you bloat the chain it spikes fees and your transaction is in pending for hours/days.

On monero, if you used your own node it only took more storage on the device and transactions 2~4 minutes slower.
