Paranoid about the Seraphis upgrade

TLDR: I am afraid the Seraphis upgrade might make it possible for governments to pass legislation demanding all businesses and exchanges to collect wallet view keys from users for any and all transactions involving Monero and maintain records, hence allowing state sponsored blockchain analysis companies the abilty to ‘Trace’...

IP2,

In that sense, bitcoin is already working great and why should anyone ever bother anymore.

The issue has been discussed in the past, it is a real issue and many have already voiced concerns. I’m glad I see people bringing it up every now and then, I would get suspicious if none did.

IP2,

It looks more like year end’s housekeeping to be honest. Funny how we always get quieter weekends though and higher activity earlier in the week.

IP2,

Great list, thank you. Sadly both bitejo.com and successonly.work (listed under marketplaces) have been shut down permanently as far as I know.

IP2,

I find it funny there’s no comments on this yet, it looks like an interesting proposal. Am I missing something?

What do you think about OXEM?

OXEN is a fork of Monero that uses proof of stake instead of proof of work and supports instant transactions. Lokinet (onion router, like tor) and Session (messanger) are build on top of it. I just discovered it a week ago and I’m suprised that I hadn’t heard of it before. In my opinion It’s a better Monero (except that...

IP2,

In what sense is it a better monero?

IP2,

Monero does instant transactions, visa is proof of stake. They are unrelated things with different uses in mind. I don’t understand how you compare the two. What can you do with oxen?

IP2,

What version of android are you running? if you don’t mind me asking. It’s been ages since I’ve last had an issue with monerujo.

IP2,

This is super cool and everything but… why?

IP2,

I get that, I was just making sure I wasn’t missing anything

IP2,

No issue, I was just curious. Keep it up!

IP2,

The short answer is you can’t. Hold small amounts so fluctuations don’t bother you that much. USDT (any stablecoin for that matter) is only stable until it isn’t.

IP2,

Dude, they’re mining just like you. What is the big deal?

IP2,

I get that. What I don’t get is how these would help centralize power given they mine at the same efficiency (at best) as everything else.

IP2,

There’s not a single mention of an exchage? WTF? Bank shut me off, I’ve been screwed by crypto?

IP2,

I meant, not a mention of an exchange shutting down or blocking anyone from accessing their accounts. And there’s no need for it either if you have already lost access to your bank account. Then again, zerohedge…

IP2,

Last I checked everything was in pre-order, you weren’t supposed to receive anything yet from what I understand. Maybe the expiration message was an automation glitch or something?

IP2,

You’re absolutely right. I’m just saying give it another week or so, near release things can get out of hand quickly. And post back whatever the outcome, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking of pre-ordering before reading your post.

IP2,

To be fair, that could only happen if you stick to that mentality.

IP2,

Great work, no bandwidth issues for me. I feel this is a simplified “how” still and normies have yet to understand the real “why”. Not an easy task I’m sure, but you obviously have the ability and understanding.

Make Cindy go to prison for transacting with Bob, make Bob unable to get a loan for transacting with the “wrong” Alice, get Alice to spend years in courts trying to prove she’s not a witch (or an elephant for that matter) and make them all unable to escape buying food with vouchers their government is providing. Find better examples obviously. Keep it up either way!

IP2,

Well, you said for the normies, I went full simpleton.

IP2,

I doubt anyone could be that certain his attack will work. Especially mining on a public pool, it is likely destined to fail.
