good article, and good website

interesting article here: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/avoid-this-monero-vulnerability/ - addressing ring sig deniability across repeated transactions, plus mitigation.

look forward to seeing more of this sort of thing

"Proof-of-Stake is ... less battle tested" Maybe it needs a testin'!

Seraphis is a big change, and I think it warrants discussion.

Firstly the timeframe:

"At the moment it's quite difficult to estimate when everything will be ready for the hardfork to Seraphis and Jamtis. Some very early estimates see a possible hardfork about 2 years out, i.e. in the first half of 2025. Things may easily take a year longer."

Lots of other FAQs available here: https://github.com/seraphis-migration/strategy/wiki/Seraphis-and-Jamtis-FAQ

Importantly addresses will change.

From Localmonero.co:

"Unfortunately, Monero addresses currently in use are not compatible with Seraphis. Users would need to generate new addresses from their wallet keys in order to receive Monero if Seraphis were implemented. "

Also see this discussion about Seraphis implementation.

This series deserves to be sent off.

yes LLaMA got leaked and has opened up a tool for the people. I see the project openLLaMA making headway in putting out a chatbot 'for the people' as opposed to the centralised control. don't confuse it with LLaMA 2, a confab between mta and mcrosoft which is 'open source' but you have to let them have all of your data. seems to be an effort at damage control and to try and still harvest some of the data that people are shovelling into machine learning programs these days. I personally don't think they're great at all, far from intelligent and I think they're going to be bad for humanity down the line. but pandora's box is open so we might as well democratise by at least breaking the corporate chokehold on A"I".

There is now a perk for donating, a custom emoji. Just wondering @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com regarding custom emojis. have the lemmy team patched the vulnerability?

I read about the guy, crosslinking here: https://monero.town/post/2251 I don't think there's evidence that his client list is with the feds, only speculation in the thread. Thread includes a good debate on opsec with localmonero etc. worth looking though.

For me, I'm mining at a loss on a small scale. Even though I'd love to get a proper rig set up, the price of hardware is too high to ever get an ROI worth investing in - that is compared to simply buying the XMR. So I'll continue putting XMRig on any device that can run it, and have old laptops ticking away just to support the network in a small way. Would still be interested in updates on your rig, and if XMR moons, I'll put it right back into a mining rig! Sidenoet, it's possibly worth cross-linking this community to r/moneromining as there's an active community there. Useful to have up to date info on pools, difficulty, rigs etc.

Are you sure it's Kraken? Sounds sketchy. What business would Kraken have with a bank statement? It sounds like scam behaviour - "do this within a week or you may lose your account".
