Welcome to /XMR/ Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's most widely adopted privacy coin.

XMR payments are anonymous, low-fee, and fully fungible. Users can send and receive XMR globally without having to worry about tainted coins. Battle-tested privacy tech (Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses and RingCT) ensures that critical TX data cannot be gleaned from the Monero blockchain; the TX history of all XMR users is kept hidden, with TXs being optionally transparent via the aid of a view key.

XMR ensures low TX fees by employing a dynamic block size that can "stretch" to easily accommodate sudden TX spikes.

XMR's mining algorithm, RandomX, is optimized for devices using general-purpose CPUs e.g. desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, keeping the barrier to entry low and ASICs out of the equation.

XMR's tail emission - 0.6 XMR per block forever - incentivizes for-profit miners to keep mining, helping boost long-term network security. This constant linear inflation trends to zero and is offset by coin loss.

XMR has proven to be the only altcoin capable of overcoming BTC's network effect by driving it out of the darknet economy BTC dominated for over 10 years. XMR is also starting to overtake BTC in clearnet commerce as well.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask. A MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

See: https://moneroj.net/hashvsprice/
This chart shows that mining makes XMR more valuable by making the network more secure and more expensive to attack. If you have an interest in increasing the value of XMR, consider mining.

Correct. You'll create the wallet on the ledger by adding it on the app, then import the view key to the GUI wallet

i just read what the jewish developers have planned for monero and its pretty heartbreaking, the viewkey shit will genuinely kill the coin.

if you dont have the technology to let people see your spending history then all coins are dirty, meaning there all clean and exchanges cant differentiate between the two. if this update comes around and gives you the "option" to let you give exchanges the power to see see your entire transaction history then it dosent become optional it becomes MANDATORY if you want to do buisness with exchanges, swaps, trades, selling.. buying...

what a retarded decision? arent we supposed to be privacy above all? what the fuck are we doing here? hello??

if this is something 100% confimred and nothing will change it im swapping everything i have to BTC. at that point there wont be much of a difference anyway

>View keys are le bad
No. We had this discussion 3 years ago back when it was still called Seraphis

All of these concerns boil down to pic related
>>
>>61889053
are you a jewish shill or something...? being able to generate proof for single transactions is much different than having a key that lets anyone with it see your entire fucking transaction history, how much you were sent, what time you got it, how much you spent, and what time you spent it, as well as the value of your entire account balence, over the lifetime of your entire wallet...

and why even make this change anyway...? for what purpose? even if it was already possible to generate proofs for single transactions, why make it 10000x easier for exchanges and swaps to do so? do you not see how this will become the standard so exchanges can easily make sure your coins "arent bad". please give me one upside for this change.

>>61889027
no, the entire coin is compromised, in august there making a hard fork that lets you anyone with your view key see your entire transaction history, it lets them when you recieved money, when you sent money, and your entire account balance. effectively ending a good portion of moneros privacy. this shit is honestly heartbreaking and i dont know why the devs would think having the ability to share your account balance with anyone is a good idea. im a 4 digit holder in monero and if this shit is set in stone im liquidating my entire portfolio before march

they cant answer you, never will. this is a bot board designed to promote monero. a few anons have been banned for weeks for questioning the hard fork in here. to say its not weird would be to lie. theyve even set up those new ip-monitors working with dod and palan-tear, not to stop vpn posters, but to make a list of dissidents. those new addresses you need to allow through ublock? thats the ones.

>>61889509
a large chunk will not migrate to new fork, mark my words. the devs have new owners and privacy conscious anons notice these things.

you can argue, but hes right about the new key situation. no way around it. aspergers deleting "fud threads" wont stop anons noticing it either.

>>61889733

>but how many were banned here and on subreddits for even asking?
Your people weren't banned for asking, you were banned for repeatedly spamming about it and repeatedly claiming you haven't gotten any answers. This happened both on here and on your favorite platform. Then people with the same exact rhetoric and arguments came and shilled some random shitcoin. So if we don't assume malice you:
1. Didn't do any research
2. Didn't look at any of the sources we linked
3. Didn't accept any answer not reliant on the above mentioned sources
4. Claim the solution is to invest some other project that recently got (((relisted))) but is a downgrade in every possible metric.
So if you truly were not acting out of malice you simply were both too dumb and too stubborn to be tolerated. If you're not acting out of malice, why are you still arguing against the devs (not even the code) because of you and your cohort not finding the solutions which were publicly available for years? Just admit that you were wrong and a bit too cautious and stop bringing up this topic. We don't need to appease fudders.

I don't think they can. It seems very obvious to me that they're employed by an interested party that would hate having a really easy way to show proof of reserves to the public: exchanges.
It'll be interesting to see what the excuses will be from exchanges once view balance keys are live, and Kraken races to post theirs on reddiit/X.

>>61894852
this is a prime example of derailment and aspergers at its finest. the "this doesnt change with seraphis, dont give out your view key" issue is a non issue. the mocking tone is throughout the post. the issue is that giving the keys out now provides more info about you than it did before. his entire argument spirals into it being a "user is retarded issue," and mirrors the attitudes here, not that i care what redditors think in general.

my favorite part that they tout now is the "we're adding the OVK's so that you know that you did, in fact, donate to charity, and can now prove you did!" line. gayest shit ever. as if we dont know we fucking clicked send after scanning the other persons QR code. its not "THE TOOL" the gov will use, but its a step in that direction and no one here can deny it.

its being promoted as a way of showing people what you and they did, and more about what you/they did, while at the same time people questioning its efficacy are being told to not use it and we're stupid for doing so (followed by bans.)

such a step in the right direction. (reddit paragraph spacing provided so you can read it.)

>>61895000
>ill sum up 1-3, youre just calling average monero users with questions, "stupids."
No, if you can't find sources on your own, then claim you're just asking questions and getting mad over your questions being answered you're either stupid or not acting in good faith. The average Monero user isn't fudding about view keys.
>>idk what 4 is going on about. that BBBY or XRP shit thats always on the catalog?
Oh come on, you've been here the entire time to notice anons asking questions but don't know the shitcoin they spammed? You know what they all claimed they were banned for right? It wasn't the 'questions' but their shilling for some unmaintained fork.
>*yawn* the classic i dont want to answer answers.

>the mocking tone is throughout the post.
You deserve to be mocked. Nobody has a problem with the tone. It is well deserved.

There is no problem with CARROT at all. There is no loss of privacy at all, unless you specifically choose to broadcast it. You can decide to do that right now. You can livestream your own transactions. You can post your seed phrase if you want. Take a screenshot and show everyone your entire history. Other people using view keys doesn't compromise your privacy even 0.00000000001%.

Your argument makes literally zero sense and there isn't a SINGLE reason for it other than your retarded concern trolling. And given the complete lack of any support for your concern trolling, it's safe to assume anyone arguing against CARROT is doing so in bad faith.
>>
>>61894647
but this... did happen, people posted about the problems the hard fork would cause on the reddit and instead of debating the mods just deleted all the complaints... WTF?

>>61896075
yeah... the old developers literally made the view key this way on PURPOSE as to create reasonable doubt. now were making view keys public to be more "complaint" but i thought the entire point of monero was to be non-compliant? we celebrated when we were removed off exchanges because it meant the technology was working. now were bending backwards so banks and jews can audit us and see how much taxes we owe? are we compromised??

Just don't give out your view key. If you're worried that you might be forced to (by who?) use a second wallet. If you want to be extra safe, make it so a wallet requires a second password just for you to give out view keys. When asked by the feds, after they have deanonymized you somehow you state you forgot your password.
>as to create reasonable doubt.
But >>61889053 already has shown three years ago how this isn't possible. You can't assume the feds are too incompetent to read a public post but smart enough to deanonymize you.
>now were making view keys public to be more "complaint"
Nope
>but i thought the entire point of monero was to be non-compliant?
The point is to have privacy and anonymity, not to be non-compliant just for the sake of it.
>now were bending backwards so banks and jews can audit us and see how much taxes we owe?
This only works if you're already deanonymized. Please tell me how you'd contact a random XMR wallet holder if you don't know anything about him or her besides the wallet address.
If you can't provide an entirely new attack scenario ask a new question you have. If you have neither stop crying.

>Wallets can approximate outgoing spends using heuristics
Correct

>or by importing key images manually
Wrong. If you import all the key images you will 100% get the correct balance.

>but that's not part of the basic view key mechanism itself.
All wallets can tell if you didn't import all the key images by using your view key to scan the block chain; the Monero CLI will straight up tell you that your balance is wrong if you didn't import all the key images.
It's 100% meant to be used in conjunction with key images to get the correct balance. Implying otherwise is like saying your car key isn't meant to start your car; it's technically true but it's just retarded to the point that no one who knows how cars work would ever say it

>These proposals introduce outgoing view keys or extensions that allow wallets (or auditors) with the appropriate key to reliably detect both incoming and outgoing activity
Auditors have always been able to use the view key and key images to do this reliably.

>without possessing the spend key
You never needed the spend key to do this. You only ever needed the view key and all key images, and your image even says this.

The incentive for the new view keys is to allow (((auditors, central exchanges and blockchain analysts))) to fracture the ecosystem into two. Where only the transparant users are allowed to participate

There is no reason to introduce a regulatory mechanism into the protocol, compromising Monero's mandatory privacy-first ethos

When you realize who benefits most from the protocol change, the shitposts defending it suddenly make sense

We're already not allowed to participate in the system as monero users. Exchanges allowing us back if we give out keys won't change anything for us that don't intend on doing so.

You're a bot schizo and can safely be ignored.
>>
>>61900104
Lmao the new view keys are going to completely change the game in monero usability. The new lite wallets made possible by this change will, for the first time, allow complete retards (the general public) to use Monero.

For current users who know what they're doing (cold wallet users), life will also be easier because the back and forth of key images won't be necessary anymore.

If you used Monero, you'd know this. Like you'd also know view keys exist already.

OK so the white-paper doesn't say that the view keys in current Monero are intentionally designed to not track outgoing txs, which is what your LLM screenshot implied. It's just your assumption based on the generic principle that Monero tries to hide txs, that the view keys are also intentionally limited like that.

I'm not convinced. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but you have no proof that it was ever intentional for the view keys to be limited like that. If this limitation of the current view keys was intentional there would have been some design document or discussion log where an alternative was discussed that WOULD have allowed outgoing txs to be tracked, but was decided against on privacy grounds. Unless you have such a recorded decision, to me it looks exactly like a legit limitation of the tech back when it was designed, not a conscious choice.

Comfy watch.

Regarding the "Can XMR survive Solar Flare" question which you weren't sure about...I asked that once here and some technical anon said it could recover once surviving nodes/copies of blockchain come back online (assuming all went offline).

Now that we got AI, I asked Grok after feeding in your presentation to it, and it said the same:
>If all nodes go offline temporarily (e.g., power/comms loss but hardware survives), the blockchain doesn't vanish. Nodes store the full ledger locally (LMDB database in Monero).
>When power/internet returns and at least some nodes come back online (ideally multiple with full history), they reconnect via P2P, compare chains, resolve any short-term forks via longest-chain rule, and resume syncing/validating from the last agreed state.
>Honest nodes reject invalid forks; the network converges on the valid chain. Transactions during outage simply wait in mempools or get rebroadcast later.
>Monero (like Bitcoin) is designed for this resilience—decentralized, no central authority needed to "restart." As long as ≥1 full archival node survives with intact storage, the chain can recover fully once connectivity returns.

Caveats:
>Hardware destruction (e.g., widespread fried electronics from EMP/surge) = permanent loss if backups aren't hardened/offline/air-gapped. Most consumer hardware vulnerable; Faraday-caged/offline cold storage wallets could survive.
>Prolonged isolation (regions offline weeks+) could cause temporary chain splits/forks if isolated miners keep producing, but honest nodes resolve on reconnection (difficulty adjusts, longest valid chain wins).
>Solar flare specifics: Not all flares EMP-hard; Carrington-level could cause grid blackouts and satellite issues, but not total global electronics wipe. Bitcoin/Monero discussions note slow blocks during hashrate drop, then recovery.

Irrelevant. The immediate threat is not solar flares, but the State.
The most important question is, "Can monero resist strong State pressure exerted against the development team to de-anonymize, make it State compliant. "
The problem is, in order to control a blockchain, a bad actor only has to control a few key developers. That is the true weak point of blockchain.
>>
>>61915793
>a bad actor only has to control a few key developers.
And then perform a coordinated attack, over long periods of time, with each of the canaries still being intact, after having deanonymized and compromised all relevant devs in a very short time frame, and prevent everyone from forking the publicly accessible code while also hiding what exactly they are doing.
Additionally, you also need to control the maintainers.
>>
>>61915793
Exactly. Monero's protocol is so frustratingly bullet proof for governments, that the only way to get in, would be to modify the protocol through developer coercion

Here's what likely to happen:
Yes many people will refuse new fork, but those people will lose. New fork is still going to be THE XMR. Those protesters will probably rebrand oldXMR to be something that is heavily stigmatized by public and throttled by feds. At that point you can only use oldXMR with North Koreans and friends.

Buy it P2P on RetoSwap. It's unfortunately not very simple, it'll take you a bit of time to understand and buy something.

That being said, you obviously want drug money and are afraid of being tracked by your KYC, but they can't track you that way.

The point is that it makes no sense to go through all this effort just to be easily thwarted by git. The worst part is that the value proposition of Monero isn't the price but the transactional qualities we have. DNMs would jump in a second if there was a better project.

Not really. The system western governments function under is reliant on willingly given blackmail. Imagine you're some big shot in your national government. You'd know the your rival is mainly into small boys because you spotted him at the weekly satanic temple when you were eating some fetus. You were both invited by your mentors, who were invited by their mentors or close friends and so on. If you showed any sign of wanting out, they'd destroy you both publicly and privately.

Is this good enough, or am I going to risk getting banned sending to swaps too much? I'm not really concerned about the KYC because I'm converting to XMR (and I use both accounts a lot for transactions, so it shouldn't look out of the ordinary), but would it be better to add an extra step, by sending the crypto from an exchange to a private wallet before swapping?

You mean for communication? I remember from the NFT times that we tried to reduce the possibility of that. Also you need another secure channel to make the addresses known.
One way your idea might be feasible would be as a canary. Imagine some site had 3 head admins and each admin sent each other admin 1 XMR a week as a way for them to know they don't think they've been compromised. If one of the three admins stopped sending the Monero to the other admins they'd know that he is going rogue or got compromised. Additionally, they'd know the other one still is in the safe. However, you'd still need a previously established secure channel to at least exchange the addresses once.

Monerochads, I implore you to investigate and potentially spread a little risk to Zera [ 8avjtjHAHFqp4g2RR9ALAGBpSTqKPZR8nRbzSTwZERA ].

XMR is going to go up 2x 3x 4x eventually. Zera gives absolute privacy among other things, probably satisfying most peoples (or all) use cases. If anyone cares they will 100x 200x 300x eventually.
