Thank you for your reading.
Monero, for obvious privacy reasons.
Although BCH is traceable, it's not controlled by bankers, unlike BTC, which is why I don't support Bitcoin.
I'm not a privacy extremist. I believe privacy is selective; depending on the situation, sometimes privacy is necessary, other times anonymity is (they're not the same thing).

While FixedFloat is a company that acts as an intermediary (you have to trust them), an Atomic Swap is a mathematical protocol (smart contracts) with no owners or central servers.
In Atomic Swap, the exchange is 100% P2P and private; in FixedFloat, you are using a “tunnel” that belongs to a company.

One of the most common arguments used in anti-Monero propaganda will be that it's a cryptocurrency primarily used by criminals for trafficking, ransomware, and also by enemy powers like North Korea, Russia, and China.
This, they argue, makes Monero a matter of national security, giving the state free rein to attack it in any way possible.
Most people will clamor for a ban on Monero, and many others will be afraid to use it for fear of being prosecuted as criminals by their governments.
Do you understand the potential severity of this attack?
Do you understand why I say that the price is putting Monero on the radar of the authorities?
Do you understand why I say that the price, beyond the typical pump and dump for profit, is a weapon of attack?

#Monero Continues To Evolve In #Privacy.
Monero just released version 0.18.4.3 “Fluorine Fermi.”
No consensus changes, no hard fork — just stronger privacy and smoother performance. A recommended upgrade.
The node now limits connections to peers within the same subnet, reducing exposure to passive surveillance (“spy nodes”).
In plain terms, harder for anyone to track you.
The wallet handles subaddresses and missing data more gracefully — fewer crashes, cleaner operation.
Internal tweaks to RPC, mining sync, and logging polish the overall experience for node operators.
In short: less noise, more stealth. Update your Monero — it quietly makes your privacy stronger.
This release was the direct result of 13 people who worked to put out 36 commits containing 253 new lines of code:

If governments were clever —and let’s not flatter them— they wouldn’t ban privacy tools. They’d wrap them in indirect, soft-touch regulations that claim to “protect users” while quietly binding them in compliance tape.
They wouldn’t delist #Monero either. They’d let it float on CEXs, one thumb resting on the scale. The price “self-regulates,” they say —funny how the invisible hand always wears a badge.
The most effective regulations aren’t prohibitive; they’re subtle. They come disguised as “public-private partnerships” or “transparency initiatives,” soothing words for quiet capture.
That’s how #privacy becomes a fenced garden: you can stroll, but not dig. All in the name of responsible innovation, of course.
Don’t repeat this. Let the vultures sleep. If they think they control the storm, they might not notice the lightning already inside.

How will they control illegal immigration with digital identity?
By tracking everyone who is registered. If the government doesn't track you and doesn't know what you're doing, you're illegal, you understand?
Digital identity makes it easy: if the state doesn't track you, you cease to exist as a legal citizen—practical, isn't it?

Privacy-focused AI?
Yes, duck.ai
Spoiler alert: it has improved significantly in recent updates.
Duck.ai offers anonymous interaction without requiring an account; you can chat without creating a user or signing in.
The conversations are sent anonymously; identifiers like IP addresses are removed before prompts are forwarded.
Duck.ai does not keep long-term memory between chats: each session is independent and not synchronized across devices.
Text only — there is no voice chat or multimodal capabilities on the platform today.
A mobile app is available for iOS and Android with notifications and better integration than the web version.
The app is not open source; the client and app are not available as open-source code.
Brave browser + VPN is the best option for privacy.
The platform prioritizes actionable, structured responses: lists, steps, and concrete guides rather than vague answers.
Available LLMs include GPT-family models (e.g., GPT-4o, GPT-5 mini), Llama (Meta), Mistral, and Claude (Anthropic); exact model names and availability may vary by region and plan. There is a free tier with basic access and limited model selection, and a paid subscription that unlocks more powerful models, priority in the queue, and additional features.
Recommended if you prioritize privacy and clear responses; consider alternatives if you need synchronized history, voice, or enterprise integrations.

#Privacy isn’t a digital monastery; it’s a kit of simple habits and tools. The utopia of total invisibility only paralyzes you.
Real practice is about reducing traces and picking your battles. The limit of your privacy is yours to decide—it’s your choice.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel for email. ProtonMail or Tuta give you encrypted accounts, easy to use, with clean apps and web access.
They’re not Gmail, but good enough for personal use.
For messaging, Session Messenger drops the phone number and is decentralized. More friction than WhatsApp, but realistic for those who want privacy without asking anyone’s permission. Signal has a user-friendly interface, but it uses your phone number, which is a vulnerability for tracking.
Brave Browser blocks trackers by default, integrates Tor in private windows, and supports HTTPS Everywhere out of the box.
Search engines matter too. Stop giving Google everything. DuckDuckGo, Brave itself, and Startpage deliver decent results without intrusive profiling. Just a simple settings change.
When it comes to payments, a debit card in your name is fully traceable. For private purchases, Monero is practical and usable through P2P exchanges. Bitcoin lost much of that edge.
For files and cloud storage, you don’t need blind trust in Google Drive. Use Tresorit, Nextcloud, whether self-hosted or trusted hosting, or Syncthing across your own devices. That way, you control who gets access.
A VPN is useful but not magic. Choose one with no logs, like Mullvad or IVPN. It protects you on public Wi-Fi and hides your IP from the sites you visit.
Passwords are the simplest fix. A manager like Bitwarden or KeePassXC is more secure than reusing the same password everywhere. Strong passwords mean fewer leaks and less exposure.
No need to jump to Linux tomorrow, though it’s ideal. With AI, the learning curve is now gentler. At the very least, review app permissions on your phone to minimize everyday spying.
And if you’re going to use AI, don’t hand over your data. Run open-source models locally with tools like Ollama or LM Studio, or use trusted services like Perplexity in private mode or Duck.ai
The point is to prevent your history from being turned into merchandise.

🚀 Recent impact on the price of XMR
One of the unforeseen and collateral causes of the QUBIC parasitic ecosystem's attack on Monero is indirectly impacting the price: the immediate damage is being suffered by CEXs: frozen withdrawals, broken order books, institutional panic. The strange thing comes later — if the exchanges close, the attacker loses their most convenient and liquid way to transform XMR into fiat.
Having to sell on P2P changes the mechanics: fragmented liquidity, high slippage, visible counterparties. That friction makes the maneuver more expensive and turns the sale into a black box that can be leaked.
The unforeseen consequence: decentralization itself becomes a trap for those who wanted to dominate the network.
If demand for XMR holds steady, its price rises in this context
Immediate risk to CEXs and their reputation. But tactically, there is an opportunity: P2P monitoring, coordination of liquidity providers, and evidence collection can transform the attack into a public demonstration of its fragility.
If it works, what came to scare could end up undermining the lever of power.

2025-09-16 20:19:52 UTC

An emergency measure in response to profound reorganizations of the blockchain.
To stop the attack from escalating, an emergency measure is being discussed: “rolling DNS checkpoints.”
What does this mean and why is it controversial?
A reorg happens when already confirmed blocks are replaced by a longer alternative chain. This can enable double-spend attempts and weaken security.
Monero usually avoids centralized points of control: each node validates the chain in a decentralized way, following proof-of-work consensus.
DNS checkpoints would be “sealed” blocks distributed through a server controlled by the Core Team, forcing nodes to accept them as valid.
This instantly blocks deep reorganizations: if a checkpoint marks a block as valid, no attacker can replace it with an alternative chain.
The upside: it’s a quick security patch, acting as a firewall against destabilizing attacks.
The downside: decentralization takes a hit. Instead of the network deciding on its own, trust is introduced in a specific group (the Core Team).
It’s the classic cypherpunk dilemma: immediate security versus temporary centralization.
The idea is for DNS checkpoints to be a stop-gap, a “seatbelt,” while structural solutions are designed.
Monero’s future depends on how it balances security and decentralization.
The community is watching closely—this debate defines the very essence of the network.

Orphan Blocks in #Monero : Blockchain Reorganization
I’m committed to truth, so I’m publishing this objective analysis despite my Monero stake.
Not FUD—just data.
Understand the problem to solve it.
Source: https://moneroconsensus.info
https://image.nostr.build/e82c82db1ca0d51f7abc21bea191b0e45b24cfdc766a9991a4f4dd8ff12c7cb5.jpg
Monero validates one block every ~2 minutes (≈720 per day), which is useful for scaling percentages versus counts.
The information from 108 orphan blocks (15%) and 103 additional blocks (14.31%) from unknown miners, totaling almost 30% of orphan blocks in the last 720 blocks, represents an extremely anomalous situation compared to Monero's historical averages.
Orphan blocks are a natural occurrence in PoW and typically happen when two miners find valid blocks almost simultaneously, which is approximately 1-3% under normal conditions.
I did not find a reliable graphical source of information showing the daily average of orphan blocks in Monero over the last few months.
When 5/720 appeared in August, it was already reported as “unusual.”
60/720 (≈8.3%) was the peak of the Qubic episode.
Two weeks ago, there were windows with 48/720 (≈6.7%).
Qubic has been implementing a “selfish mining” strategy that includes:
-Silent mining: Hiding its hashrate from other nodes
-Deep reorganizations: Causing reorgs
-Empty blocks: Mining blocks without transactions to maximize profits
Economic Analysis
The attack has complex economic motivations:
-Estimated cost: Approximately $75 million per day to maintain the attack
-Incentives: Qubic offers 3x the profitability compared to mining Monero directly
-Buyback mechanism: Profits are used to buy and burn QUBIC tokens
Conclusion
The 30% orphan block window represents a situation 10 to 30 times higher than Monero's normal historical rates.
This extraordinary situation reflects the direct impact of Qubic's attempt to control the Monero network, which, even without achieving a 51% attack, causes problems in the network, since if there are many continuous orphan blocks, there will be transactions that will not be confirmed (because they are in orphan blocks) and will have to be performed again.
This does not imply double spending, but it does imply that the standard 10 confirmations are compromised, and more time and confirmations must be checked to be certain of the transaction.

What is the relationship between hashrate and block distribution?

Hashrate: This is the computing power contributed by a pool or miner.
The higher a pool's hashrate is relative to the total network hashrate, the greater its probability of finding a block.
Block distribution: This reflects the blocks actually found in a period (e.g., the last 100 blocks).
In theory, it should match the hashrate percentage, but since finding blocks is a probabilistic process, there are short-term fluctuations.
Practical relationship
In the long term: block distribution converges to the relative hashrate of each pool.
In the short term: there may be random deviations. A pool with 20% hashrate may mine 10% or 30% of the blocks in a small sample.
When a pool reaches 50% of blocks over long periods, it also concentrates approximately 50% of the hashrate → risk of centralization.
In summary: the hashrate is the “bet” and the distribution of blocks is the observed “result.”

Selfish mining at its finest: Qubic attracts miners because it gives them more profit than a normal pool:
—It converts the mined XMR into USDT.
—It uses part of it to buy back and burn their QUBIC token.
—It provides extra rewards to the miner.
This economic incentive explains why so many joined and why their hash power grew.

Artificial Intelligence, when viewed not just as a tool but as infrastructure, takes on a foundational role in shaping how society operates.
It doesn’t merely mimic human behavior—it encodes, amplifies, and automates it at scale. As infrastructure, AI becomes embedded in decision-making systems, communication networks, financial markets, healthcare, and governance. It’s no longer just an application; it’s the invisible scaffolding that organizes and mediates social interactions.

By simulating human behavior, AI models societal patterns—preferences, biases, flows of information—and uses these models to predict and often steer outcomes. In this way, AI doesn’t passively reflect society; it participates in its evolution. Like roads or electricity, AI infrastructures structure the possibilities of daily life, often without our awareness.
Recognizing AI as infrastructure shifts the conversation from one about convenience and automation to one about power, ethics, and responsibility.

Without context, "real," "virtual," and "digital" are just fuzzy labels. In a lab, "virtual" can mean simulated; in a video call, it can mean remote presence; and in philosophy, it can be unactualized power (hello, Deleuze!).

Digital Immortality
Ray Kurzweil theorizes that in the future we could eventually map the human brain in such intricate detail that it becomes possible to upload our consciousness into a digital substrate.
This would involve copying and possibly enhancing the neural patterns that constitute our memory, personality, and cognition.
In such a scenario, our consciousness could exist independent of a biological body, within a virtual environment, or even be downloaded into different physical or robotic entities.
This concept raises profound questions about identity, the nature of consciousness, and what it means to be human.

They are incentivized by their own profits, contracts with the state, and control of network traffic.
In this emerging landscape, accessing the internet will require personal credentials, meaning every individual will be assigned a digital ID.
Internet Service Providers will be obliged by law to provide the service with an ID for each user.
Your ability to connect to the network could soon depend on being verified and authorized, fundamentally changing the way we interact online.
This can be implemented because most people will accept this control and loss of individual freedom because there will be a catastrophic (false flag) event to justify such control (remember 9/11).
The government will know all the data and metadata on-line information of its citizens.
The era of a free, open, and anonymous internet will be coming to an end.
In this scenario, the need for #privacy will increase and will demand anonymous connections provided by virtual providers.
The #AI will play a central role in the provision of this service, but also in the detection of these anonymous accesses. (big data analysis), a technology that will be used by regulators.
It is in this context that the Dark Web and privacy money like #Monero will be useful and this niche market will grow.

UTxO vs Account Model
UTxO model: ideal for systems that prioritize privacy, security and parallelism in simple transactions.
Account model: balances are tied to specific accounts, tx can be easier to track unlike the UTxO model. It is best suited for complex applications for smart contracts.

The Dark Ages and Censorship in the Digital Age: An Unexpected Parallel
The Dark Ages is a term used to refer to a historical period in Europe, generally between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Renaissance.
Although separated by centuries, the Dark Ages and digital censorship share one thing in common: limiting access to information with a 'global empire' in decline.
In the Dark Ages the scarce written production was controlled by the Catholic Church, which became the main guardian of knowledge, controlling what was taught and what was hidden, with strong limitation to critical thinking.
There is a certain parallelism with the current era, in the control of information by governments that circulates in digital media, which is increasingly growing.

Not even in Satoshi Nakamoto's worst nightmares.
It is the best example of how a community can destroy a great technological design.

When Bitcoin is definitively co-opted by the banking system, many maxis will continue to deny the obvious.
Don't even enjoy that, I'm not interested in winning ego battles, just making people think, even if they don't agree with me.

Ok, if you have "nothing to hide" tell me the combination of your safe deposit box and your bank account password.

Yes, a decentralized protocol, keeping its developers anonymous, is resilient.

Satoshi Nakamoto remained anonymous to preserve his/her/them #privacy and #security, but he created a traceable Blockchain that does not preserve privacy, and only hiding from the world could give him/her/them security.

Cryptocurrency as native NFT
If a token is not fungible, then it is a NFT, Non Fungible Token.
The traceability of a Blockchain allows governments to create a blacklist of transactions to be censored, and to impose validators not to include them in the blocks.
So in a traceable blockchain its cryptocurrency is partially native NFT.

Which ecosystem is libertarian, #Bitcoin or #Monero?
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that prioritizes individual liberty and autonomy, advocating for minimal government intervention in both personal and economic matters.
Bitcoin is not considered libertarian because it lacks the anonymity and fungibility that Monero offers, and that is the main impediment to avoid regulation and intrusion by centralized regulators.
We see more and more institutional money entering the BTC ecosystem and that brings more and more regulations and less and less market freedom.
While Bitcoin was created to enable peer-to-peer transactions with transparency, on the other hand, Monero, developed by libertarian-minded individuals, prioritizes privacy, fungibility, and anonymity.
That's why the Monero community is more philosophical in ideals than the prevailing Bitcoin idea of investment.

2024-03-05 11:01:59 UTC

The problem with Monero is not governments and regulations, on the contrary, they are the reason.
The world runs on dollars, for now.
Profits from #Bitcoin mining is ~1,000 x greater than #Monero
We must understand that price, and thus profitability is one of the incentives to secure the network, and to be sustainable it must have utility, and that brings adoption, i.e. demand, and price increase and then profitability.
The trigger for the use of Monero will be CBDCs

Blockchains use cryptography to run the consensus protocol.
#Monero also uses it to provide #privacy to its users by hiding the traceability of its ledger.

A symptom of a government in decline is the increase in price control laws and the restriction of the free market.
That government's days are numbered.

The crypto space has two types of projects:
—the pioneer (#Bitcoin or #Monero) where the developer community has created a monetary system with anarchic governance,
or
—that of a company (most blockchains) with a CEO, with hierarchical governance
You have to understand the context to know which ecosystem you want to participate in.
In the second case, the leader dictates the path.

Yes, the translation is correct.
Do you think someone can change the system from within?
I don't think so, he will end up being co-opted by the system.
He is a politician, who speaks what most Argentines want to hear, we (Argentines) are fed up with corruption and populism.

Developed countries have stronger govs and more advanced technology. Surveillance and control of citizens is more severe.
Underdeveloped countries have weaker govs and their technology is less advanced. Surveillance and control of citizens is less severe. A paradise for Agorism.
