Yes, Tailscale is always turned on on my phone. My Moneronode isn't the only service my phone wants a permanent connection to.

What's wrong with firewall punching? I don't see how Tailscale (in combination with Headscale) for example isn't the perfect way to connect to a trusted node? 🤔

- reply

I heavily disagree here. The correct way forward is to increase privacy with clients connecting to a potential malicious node and reducing the potential impact the bad node could have.
Making connecting to a node harder isn't a great way to adoption.
Have sane defaults for normies and the potential for pros to perfect their privacy needs.

It should NOT!
I'm connecting to my own node via a direct vpn connection. I really don't understand why I should slow down my connection to my node using Tor/I2P.
Also for friends and family that can also connect to my node via VPN it's the same logic.
I do not understand why anyone would connect to his own node via TOR/I2P.
For use with an unknown remote node, yes then I understand it.

You might want look at these two:

https://www.moneroinflation.com/
I honestly think Monero is nicer to handle than self-custodial LN, but you might be more skilled/capable than me.
And yes Monero UX still has some rough edges, but I hope that the synching complains are gone after the FCMP++ upgrade.

Honest question: what makes Monero a shitcoin for you?

2026-09-13 14:53:16 UTC

The "🤯 maximalism" was about the amount of people voting against it.
I still don't get how anyone could seriously call Monero a shitcoin.

2026-09-13 14:45:36 UTC

Holy shit, that level of blind maximalism 🤯🙈
Also if you're a merchant and you're NOT accepting Monero, you're missing out 🤷‍♂️

I had the same thought, but then I discovered Headscale. It allows you to host the central control server of your tailnet yourself.
I'm now running the Headscale server for some time now and really can't complain!

Not every 'we/us' has a socialist connotation.
For talking about things it can be useful to group certain people/users by similar usage of stuff etc. No need to freak out about that.
Also funnily enough Monero is currently a better SoV than BTC ;)

Sounds weird that a FOSS project uses primarily proprietary garbage like discord for communication and also recommends a proprietary client/app as the default.
I mean I haven't looked much into meshcore but reading your thoughts about it alone increases my blood pressure.
Btw thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights regularly on here, as this Lora stuff etc was something I wanted to look into for a long time and now I'm getting good information just passively 🙏

First off, those are MULTIPLE links to different services that publish their payment numbers (your answer seemed like you only read one).
Second I only quickly checked ShopinBit's officially reported numbers and there peak was ~$1.7M in 2024 for ShopinBit and ~$1.1M for ShopinBit EU.
So yes, obviously this is a very limited dataset. Not a lot of corporations are publishing their krypto sales data sadly and probably none of those does like $100M+ revenue a year but it nevertheless shows that Monero gets definitely used outside of darknet markets on normal everyday/legal stuff.

Do you actually believe that? 👀
I don't think I can currently check/verify how Blackrock's money flows (or the government's etc).
And in Monero you CAN proof that you did a TX and you CAN give other people a viewkey to a wallet, so that they can verify what money flows into a wallet.
With BTC you have no choice but to be completely transparent. The slightest error and all of your privacy efforts get erased.

What a fuckin hassle 🙈 One reason more to use onchain TX. Oh wait with BTC that's slow and expensive. Gosh I'm grateful for the existence of Monero 😎

You might not know that, but the transactions that create new XMR are not hidden, so you can just sum up all of those coinbase TX and validate the current Monero supply.

You know you could just research that yourself... But now that you asked me so nicely...
Currently the sender privacy in Monero works like this: Everytime you want to send a TX your wallet picks 15 (mostly) random TX from the blockchain and signs it so that your TX looks like anyone from the 16 people (you plus the 15 decoys) could have sent this TX. This gives pretty good privacy but these so called ring signatures can be attacked in a few ways so that you could theoretically reduce the ring size to about 4 (instead of 16).
Now with the upcoming FCMP++ upgrade every transaction will look like it could've been sent by everyone on the chain. That means instead of potential 16 senders you now have 150million+ possible senders.
Other improvements that come with FCMP++ (the full name btw comes from Full-Chain Membership Proofs + Spend Authorization + Linkability) are for example that you can now sign TX that depend on a TX that has not yet been published, allowing more L2s to work with Monero aka Transaction Chaining.
Also this upgrade will bring Carrot (Cryptonote Address on Rerandomizable-RingCT-Output Transactions) giving us better view keys, Migitation of a few attacks that are possible with current addresses (were an attacker can gain some insight about the ownership of certain addresses) and some more.
If you want even more details I encourage you to continue reading these:

I don't know what client you use for Nostr, but it might be supporting payment targets already (like Amethyst for example). If so, you might want to add a Monero address as well :D

2026-09-06 17:09:03 UTC

Because ring signatures are the weakest link currently. Also the upgrade brings a few improvements overall to the network.

I did the switch. Amethyst looks nice so far. Thanks for the recommendation!

I finally switched to Amethyst. I have to say that it seems like a lot has happened in the last year or so. I might have lost a few relays through switching clients but for now it looks good. Thank you for your recommendations.

I'm interested whether my old setup still works. I set a XMR address in my profile a long time ago and I am wondering whether it is recognised as a payment target. 🤔

As with all other self-hosted software, if you want to be self-sovereign you need to keep somewhat up-to-date and update your tech every once in a while.
There are thousands of nodes and god knows how many miners, so it seems like there are enough people out there that manage to do that.
Also if you're running a node it tells you when there is a new version available. At least I'm pretty sure I saw that note in the logs of my node.
The notion that everyone needs to run a node is just BS. The capable people should do it and should run infrastructure for their friends/family/community. Trust in small circles is normal and healthy and it's enough if one of them does it.

Yeah, sadly you can't wake up people that aren't open for it. Sucks hard if it's people one is close with...
Best tip I have is stay calm. Don't preach, but keep the dialog going. If it fits, state your position clearly but calmly. Usually at some point you find their topic where they are very annoyed by all the regulations etc. Then one can start calmly explaining different solutions for this situation and with enough luck and time they slowly start understanding. For some this doesn't work, but sometimes it works...
I wish you good luck!

Sorry, aber der Typ hat sich maximal selbst zerlegt 🙃
Er wirkt wie ein uninformierter NPC.
Man kann etliche Dinge an Höcke kritisieren und da gehe ich mit dir mit, Höcke ist ein scheiß Etatist.
Aber von all den Etatisten da draußen ist er eins der kleineren Übel. Wenn ich mir persönlich aussuchen müsste, auf welchen Etatisten viele Menschen um mich herum hören sollten, dann lieber Höcke als fast alle anderen seiner parasitären Spezies (Peter Boehringer wäre mir lieber als Höcke).
Als Anarchist rollt man an einigen Stellen des Gesprächs mit den Augen, aber es gab auch einige interessante Aspekte fand ich.
