/XMR/ Monero General

Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a user willingly providing a view key.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptos. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier of entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward will gradually approach 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

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

STOP MINING IN MINEXMR
>START MINING IN P2POOL
STOP MINING IN MINEXMR
>START MINING IN P2POOL

P2Pool combines the advantages of pool and solo mining; you still fully control your Monero node and what it mines, but you get frequent payouts like on a regular pool.

P2Pool has no central server that can be shutdown/blocked because it uses a separate blockchain to merge mine with Monero. There's no pool admin that can control what your hashrate is used for or decide who can mine on the pool and who can't; It's permissionless!

Decentralized pool mining (P2Pool) is pretty much the ultimate way to secure a PoW coin against 51% attacks. When P2Pool reaches 51% of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.


YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL DIRECTLY FROM THE MONERO GUI WALLET!

If you have a PC or laptop:

1. Download Monero GUI

2. Pick 'Advanced' mode

3. Set up your wallet
i.imgur.com/4lMKh00.png

4. Keep the default Daemon settings "Start a node automatically in the background"
i.imgur.com/maACmmT.png

5. Once sync'd, go to Advanced->Mining and pick 'P2Pool'. If you have a laptop or low-end PC (~50 kH/s) pick "Mini" pool, else pick "Main"

P2Pool-compatible remote nodes if you do not have your own local copy of the blockchain:

>p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com - (Western Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)
>myxmr.net - (Northern Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)

OTHERWISE SWITCH TO A SMALLER POOL, IT TAKES YOU 30 SECONDS AND YOU CAN JUST SOURCE A DIFFERENT CONFIG FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK UP YOUR EXISTING ONE.

Many inexperienced miners think that big pools give better profits which is not the case. Your profits in the long run depend only on your hashrate, not on the pool's hashrate.

>The irrational exuberance of cryptocurrency investors

Irrational exuberance is characterized as a hype-fueled mania that causes investors to massively overestimate an asset's real-world value. In this delusional state, investors tend to become so smitten with expectations of greater profits that they disregard the assets’ potentially weak fundamentals and drink the proverbial Kool-Aid.

This then leads to them recklessly and repeatedly buying into whatever asset is currently rising in the charts, thereby triggering and/or sustaining an asset bubble. This bubble is kept inflated solely by the mass delusion that the market price is justified and will only keep going up in future, effectively becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Note that bubbles can last for years, especially in an age of easy investor on-boarding. However, when history inevitably repeats and the bubble bursts that optimism invariably turns into panic as the asset crashes back down to its real-world value.

In finance, the "greater fool theory" suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets—items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value—if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.

This effect is often further exacerbated by herd mentality, whereby people hear stories of others who bought in early and made big profits, causing those who did not buy to feel a fear of missing out.

the reality is, resin prints are the closest well get to monerochan figures.
with the right files i could probably print and sell them, though i see no way i you could get the total cost (including shipping) below 80-100$ and at that point they are not even painted, would look like picrel

forgot to ask:
As for the commissioned art, I’d need to ask the artists if selling their work is ok probably? Or did they gave up their „rights“ anyway?
Not trying to make big money off of this. If profit makes up for all the fees I’m fine with this.

>at that point they are not even painted
Why not make 3d printed snap on pieces that can be printed in different colors ala a Kinder Surprise Egg toy? Of course it won't look anywhere as nice as your picrel, but it'll be a starting point while 3d printer/homefab technology improves in time.

I envy XMR enjoyers by having such a good waifu.

DOOMPA OH NONONO MONEROS BROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

Are Monero devs well fed?

I always considered Blender as a great example of how successful a FOSS project can be, same with the Linux kernel.
However, one cannot be cynical and ignore the weight that the involvement of hundreds of individuals/companies donating money to these projects has in this.
Very few foss projects are in this situation, most FOSS devs are poor af and do it out of pure love for their projects, but this has been shown to not be sustainable in the long run in many instances, see what happened with Log4j Log4Shell vuln... The project was being mantained by just 3 unpaid devs IIRC.
Blender developers are well paid, have full time jobs fixing/improving it, and this has been wonderful for the project.
fund.blender.org/ has a good showcase of all the financial backers they have.

In the end, I just wonder if the Monero devs are well backed so they can focus on improving the project sustainably.

>ikb4 they have lot of XMR
Sure thing, but I see many users of this crypto value it based on its intrinsic technical and ethical values and seek to separate themselves from moonfags and scammers.
Will this still be the case in 5 or 10 years if devs motivation wears off? And no one has any more energy to keep fighting letting the glowniggers win?

The stagnation of the Korvi project is a good example of how lack of funding hurts Monero

I can understand if a merchant only sets up cryptocurrency payments with the big 3 (bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum). It casts a pretty wide net as far as crypto goes and it's less wallets/assets to manage.

But FUCK these businesses that seem to accept everything under the sun except for monero.
>we accept bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, tether, usdc, zcash, dash, bitcoin cash, bitcoin sv, stellar lumens, cosmos, we even accept dogecoin and shiba inu! How wacky!
>What's that? Monero? We don't take that... MAY WE INTEREST YOU IN A SHIELDED Z-CASH TRANSACTION INSTEAD?
>HERE'S A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN TRADE YOUR MONERO FOR SOMETHING ELSE WE'LL TAKE

Why are they so scared of monero, bros?

If this is not just some amateur-ish one time thing that you want to print and sell at some local convention or something, then my recommendation is to simply to commission new art for your endeavour, explaining your intent to reprint/resell the art so the artist can charge you.
If you reprint and resell Monero-chan posters that have been commissioned and posted here, there's a chance the artist find about it and cause you trouble. I don't know if they would be in the right but it's not a headache that I'd be willing to pay for. Easier to just commission new art.

eh, every single ccs proposal so far got fully funded within a matter of days.

korvi died because the guy responsible for it just didnt seem to care. he started a different project but abandoned that too. we have a different i2p implementation now.

>But FUCK these businesses that seem to accept everything under the sun except for monero.
An important factor to consider is that of the dozen or so currencies you mentioned in your post, there are actually only 2 or 3 true implementations.
The reality is that we can summarize the major cryptocurrencies into three protocols: Bitcoin, Ethereum and CryptoNote.
Almost all of the coins you mentioned are either forks of Bitcoin with minor modifications, or are Ethereum tokens. It is extremely easy for a company to accept Shiba Inu if they already accept Ether, or USDT. In the same way, the work required to implement a Bitcoin fork is nil for these companies.
Cryptonote is a more complex protocol to work with, and there is much less infrastructure built around Monero so that companies can re-use code and support the currency more easily. What is needed for Monero right now, regarding to merchant adoption, are ridiculously simple, plug and play solutions so that the most diverse types of companies and businesses can accept Monero with ease considering key management, multisig (prerequisite for many business models), key synchronization / blockchain state sync between different devices, among other things that other protocols have already solved or don't have an issue with due to their transparency.
