🧵 Huge twitter thread about the future of Monero
Monero plans to implement a new transaction protocol called Seraphis, which allows for larger ring sizes than the current RingCT protocol.
I don't understand why
#Bitcoin
does not implement tech from
#Monero
. The improvements are open source and well tested.
- Dynamic block size
- Stealth addresses
- Ring signatures
- Tail emission
- RandomX
- P2Pool
It's all there. Go and improve Bitcoin now.
I launched a new
#Monero
project! 🥳
It's called Monero Suite, and it is a website where you can build your own docker-compose.yml with several Monero services.
Deploy your own Monero Node, P2Pool Node, Block explorer within minutes.
Check it out:
The Monero ban in the EU is coming. Anonymous business transactions over 3000 € are going to be prohibited. Even if it’s not anonymous, but a cash payment over 10.000 € it’s forbidden as well.
They are taking away our rights.
EU Committee approves:
🚫Prohibition of cash payments over €10,000
🆔Prohibition of anonymous cash payments over €3,000
₿ Prohibition of anonymous crypto payments to hosted wallets without any threshold
This means war on cash and gradual erosion of our financial freedom!
The researcher Rucknium analyzed the flooding
#Monero
transactions in March 2024. He points out, that the effective ring size has decreased from 16 to 5.5 in that time.
Read his paper:
Don’t forget that
#Monero
is the best money on the market. Fiat is a joke. Bitcoin has a surveillance blockchain. Other real crypto currencies are not private by default.
Monero v0.18.3.2 has been released! 🥳 It has been 152 days since the last release. Check out all these improvements! I can't wait for the dev report for the next
@monerotopia
show.
It’s funny. My Twitter is normally calm and mostly friendly. But yesterday I made some tweets about
#bitcoin
and got all those Bitcoin maxis in my comment section. They don’t realize how bad they are for Bitcoin.
I am watching the donations to the
#Monero
General Fund that exceed the amount of 100 XMR. In only a few weeks, 5700 XMR have been donated this way. That's about $650k!😲 We don't know who it is, or if it is one person or multiple. What should Monero do? Fund CSSs?
🧵
#Monero
transaction confirmations are now 60 seconds faster thanks to HashVault, MoneroOcean, SupportXMR, and Nanopool. Rucknium released research showing pools were delaying Monero transactions by a full minute, on average. (1/5)
Our usage stats for March 2024:
#XMR
: 56.91%
#Bitcoin
: 38.27%
Lightning: 2.59%
FIAT: 2.23%
Yes, that's 97,8% only with Cryptocurrencies. Still too low if you ask us.
Some heads will explode. Let the fire nation declare war.
Thank you all for your support. We will bring more
You can now have this awesome dashboard with stats about your
#Monero
node, thanks to lalanza808's work. Go to and generate a docker-comopse file with monerod, prometheus, grafana, traeffik, tor for hidden services.
There have been several donations with the exact amount of 100 XMR. I tried to collect some information about these donations. Of course, there is not much data on the blockchain, so the donator can remain anonymous :)
#Monero
Spending anonymously and private:
With
#Monero
: less than $0.01
With
#Bitcoin
: about $70
So with Bitcoin, only the rich have the privilege to have privacy.

Katastrophe ist das 😫 die Berliner Feuerwehr hat auch unglaubliches geleistet. Ausnahmezustand mit so vielen Bränden und Verletzungen sind normal und erlaubt, aber viele andere Dinge wie Cannabis oder selbstfahrende Autos sind verboten.
Wir blicken zurück auf die Nacht (19 - 6 Uhr):
▪️1.523 Einsätze - 617 Brände, 940 Rettungsdienst, 100 sonstige

Based on

network. It was developed for Monero. Other projects adopting this technology makes me confident that Monero has good tech.
This past year, we worked hard to mitigate attacks on our network & enhancing our defense for onion services. 🛡️💪Today, we released a PoW defense designed to prioritize verified network traffic as a deterrent against DoS attacks. See how it works:

There I said it.
Because I don't believe anonymity is the key. Freedom is the key.
It doesn't matter if people don't like what you do or know what you do, it matters if they can stop you from doing it.

#Monero
: decentralized, no premine, anonymous creator, asic resistant, cpu min able, network upgrades that improve, privacy by default, optional transparency, p2pool mining, great and critical community, dynamic block fee (low fees), tail emission, has atomic swaps.
Monero Suite now has monero-wallet-rpc and stagenet node as services. If you tick everything, the docker-compose file is already over 200 lines of code 😅
P2Pool v3.6 was released:
When connecting to other instances running v3.6:
- Initial sync 2x faster
- Less traffic in the network
Other than that:
- Windows binary 7% faster verification
- Much smaller binaries for every OS
Subaddresses in
#Monero
provide perfect privacy, right? There is no way to determine that subaddress A and subaddress B come from the same wallet W, or is there?
A short twitter thread 🧵
I have a suggestion. If Seraphis + FCMP is rolled out to mainnet and everything goes well, we could use the XMR from the general fund for marketing
#Monero
. Online marketing + posters + other clever marketing material. We need to grow and need merchant adoption.

Users from the US should empty their wallet:
- Settings > Close channels (Android)
- Settings > Drain wallet (iOS)
We highly recommend *not force-closing* channels, as on-chain fees could be significant.

Oh no!

is closing.
“After almost 7 years of operation, due to a combination of internal and external factors, we have made the difficult decision to close our platform.”
What is the difference between
@SeraiDEX
and
@HavenoDEX
?
Serai is a decentralized platform on which you can swap a handful of cryptocurrencies through liquidity pools. You can also earn fees from swaps if you provide liquidity to the pools.
Haveno on the other hand...

Highlights of the Monero v0.18.3.1 release
- Optimize wallet refresh by reducing periodic RPC calls
- Daemon: ensure base fee cannot reach 0
- Daemon: fix high CPU usage on some systems by properly terminating interrupted TCP connection
