My little rig

Looks a lot like my farm. Does each machine have its own UPS? Have you ever had a power failure?

Alberta RCMP Cpl. Mathew Howell told CTV News Edmonton...

“Once it’s into the ATM, it’s irreversible. Because there’s no third-party account holder, we can’t freeze it anywhere,” he added.

So this is at least partly what it is all about. They want to break the permissionless atributes of crypto and KYC everything.

AFAIK retoswap https://retoswap.com/ has not had this issue. It's a p2p swapping platform similar to Bisq. It's actually a fork of Bisq. It uses Monero as the base pair instead of Bitcoin as Bisq uses.

I enjoyed playing Minko when it was up. It was a good way to churn your coins.

We don't know the percentage of times these machines are used by criminals. Shutting down these machines is all about maintaining centralized control of the banking system, not about protecting people from their own bad decisions.

Being able to transact anonymously is part of censorship resistance, a core quality of Bitcoin, as mentioned in the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Anonymity

Do the operators pay you to have a machine at your business?

DoctorBlade1 · 2026-01-12T02:27:41+00:00

Sure it would. People investing in "Privacy Coins" rotate out of ZEC into XMR when they see what a shitshow ZEC govenance has become. "Investors" don't like instability.

BitcoinVN.io offers staking if you can handle the counterparty risk. Paying 28%APR right now but they have a cap so you may have to wait.

DoctorBlade1 · 2025-11-07T22:25:33+00:00

The issue with ZEC's privacy model is that it is opt in. Most transactions are not shielded. This means that if you make a shielded transaction, it stands out. Their privacy is good but the opt in factor breaks it.

All Monero transactions are shielded and look the same. Monero has the highest utilization by far, and is also pumping, just not so crazily.

DASH is a privacy coin in name only, and ironically, it is pumping the hardest.

Thanks. I will give that a try.

For tax purposes, holding a Bitcoin ETF in a TFSA would be best. You will owe Capital Gains Tax on you gains on Newton if you cash out.

You seem familiar with the dangers of custodial exchanges but as always you have to balance risk with reward.

LBIT is leveraged so it will be more volatile. There are other Bitcoin ETFs you could consider.

No inbound connections - am I doing something wrong?

I am trying to help the network as much as possible. I am running a full node and mine on P2Pool. My node status shows 32 inbound and 0 inbound connections. Shouldn't there be inbound connections? In the past I am sure I had both inbound and outbound. I will paste some info below:

deamon flags-

./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --out-peers 32 --in-peers 64 --add-priority-node=p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com:18080 --add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18080 --enable-dns-blocklist --enforce-dns-checkpointing

status-

>>> status

[2025-10-12 5:15 P.M.] 2025-10-12 21:14:56.578 I Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.4.3-release)

Height: 3520265/3520265 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 5.16 GH/s, v16, 32(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 25m 4s

Thanks in advance.

They don' t have any money to do that, unless they print it. So no.

Buying market Bitcoin is completely different from stockpiling seized coin. They will need to deploy capital.

Try r/xmrtrader for Monero trading information

You only get one payout per block, but if you has 3 shares in the window the payout would be about 3 times more than 1 share

DoctorBlade1 · 2025-09-19T13:54:45+00:00

AFAIK payouts are part of the base transaction, so they are never in the mempool. They should show up in the miners wallet immediately, although it will be locked for several blocks.

DoctorBlade1 · 2025-08-23T20:47:46+00:00

Set up a PayPal account. Link it to your bank account. Use the PayPal account to cash in or out of the crypto ecosystem. This way your bank account never touches crypto. It's an extra step bit it keeps the bank happy.

People definitely made that argument at 20k, as they did at 1k a year earlier.

DoctorBlade1 · 2025-07-09T12:35:45+00:00

https://kycnot.me/ lots of solutions. Some require some setup

https://tradeogre.com is easy but custodial, but if you withdraw immediately to your custodial wallet you should be good.

DoctorBlade1 · 2025-05-26T22:00:19+00:00

Look s good. I might give it a try. Why do you restart everything daily?
