A fool prays for a transparent ledger, a wise man prays for stronger cryptography. ~ Chinese Proverb ~

Found a nice .onion file share with a useful feature: you can price your files in XMR and get paid directly in Monero for your files! + API + client-side encryption* (XSalsa20 + Poly1305 + Argon2id). *always set a strong password: http://filesvok4uwuv3nu3frulhnkjexu4dwk5enxc6ujvj3xiaocbjgjw4qd.onion/ Also clearnet:

No To Digital ID is right: no hypocrisy in VOLUNTARY ID. The hypocrisy is ~300-word sermon preaching the importance of 'maximizing reach against forced digital ID' while conveniently omitting that X Premium users get visibility boost without any ID: X's ID verification is needed only if you want to monetize your followers' eyeballs.

Encrypted agorism is built to win the war against the state: one transaction at a time. Invisibility is a superpower.

The End of Paralelní Polis: After a decade as a symbol of freedom, hacking and privacy tech (home to multiple MoneroKons and cypherpunk gatherings), the era of Paralelní Polis comes to an end due to financial pressures and the property owner's decision.💔

Paralelní Polis gone; end of Prague’s top crypto hub

End of an era: Paralelní Polis and later Second Culture close today. A place loved by the crypto community is disappearing – what comes next?

rbrunner7 made a systematic review of Monero wallet apps to see whether they support Polyseed, and if so, to what degree, with special attention to encrypted Polyseeds.

Seed encryption and plausible deniability · Issue #13 · tevador/polyseed

The seed encryption feature currently sets a bit flag in the mnemonic phrase that marks the phrase as being encrypted. This is done for UX reasons ...

Polyseed support (including encryption and seed offsets) falls into these groups: A) No Polyseed support at all. Example: official Monero GUI wallet B) Basic Polyseed support only, without encryption or seed offsets. Example: Skylight Wallet 1.0.8 C) Polyseed + seed offsets, but no encryption. Example: Feather Wallet D) Full support (Polyseed + seed offsets + encryption). Sole example so far: Cake Wallet Note: Monero’s legacy word list has 1,626 words. The new Polyseed uses the BIP-39 word list (2048 words) instead. I wrote about seed words here:

Taxes are just like weeds: you don't just 'cut' them - they grow back bigger. You have to ELIMINATE them!

When I'm not sure what to read, I read a book that has been banned by some government(s) (like the ones listed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments or similar). But digital / online books can easily be altered (I actually caught *at least* one instance and wrote about it here: aillia.substack.com/p/tolstoys-quote-censored-from-translation). So paper books matter: once printed, they're an immutable, uncensorable ledger! View quoted note →

I know I’m often seen as some Monero shill, but I’m not even really a 'crypto' person per se (unless by 'crypto' you mean cryptography :)). I find most of today’s 'crypto'… not my thing at all, outside of the OG ideas about escaping state control and separating money from the state. So, all you esteemed crypto projects, please don’t waste your precious, limited time in my DMs or under my posts as long as you’re trying to sit in two chairs with one butt, it’s not even about 'better tech.' I’ll join and fight alongside you as soon as the state cares enough to delist you/put an IRS bounty on your head/(try to) arrest your devs. And I sincerely, without sarcasm, wish you luck ♡

Monero in 2025: Persistent Use and Emerging Network-Layer Insights | TRM Labs

Monero remains active in illicit finance. Explore its evolving darknet role, overall adoption, and new insights on its peer-to-peer network behavior.

: "Monero’s transaction activity has stabilized at a higher baseline, suggesting sustained demand and regular use rather than episodic or speculative spikes." And that line about "While Monero is designed to resist tracing, behavioral and structural patterns — including exchange interactions and wallet clustering — can still support actionable insights." Translation: USE TOR. RUN NODE. 👇

It seems X doesn't like free uncensored circular economies indeed...

Almost everything you’re seeing right now is intentionally designed to pull your attention away from what actually matters.
