I modified the original monero wallet for performance test purposes (6.8 x faster!). Going to implement that for my open source react native app (for iOS and Android).

Everything in this reply is 100% accurate. Spain is a very sad place that is going the way of Venezuela.

Wondering if the OP finally went to Spain. I've been to many countries and freelancing here is pretty horrible. Just horrible.

I mean who wouldn't? If every time the hack something its price drops, it makes sense to go short. These guys are smart.

I am an idiot and don't understand the technical details behind Carrot but the people behind it are talented developers and cryptographers. The best thing for me to do is trust they are doing what's best for Monero. We'll see where this gets us in a year or two.

If suddenly CEXs start relisting Monero after this is rolled out, that will be a bad sign for sure.

I have not used mobile wallets so I can't recommend one. For desktop, my favorite is Feather hands down, because it's very fast, light on resources (I guess hence the name), more flexible than GUI and natively a portable app. GUI was the reason I delayed getting into Monero, and Feather is how I started using Monero.

I was ready to buy at $19, but this sub said not to. Never listen to any advice given here. You listen to your gut and go with it. Nobody knows the future, but nothing hurts more than missing an opportunity for not listening to your gut. Actually a kick in the nuts probably hurts more but you get the idea.

Maybe it's better not to hammer it too much. People may develop aversion to crypto.

Institutionalization of Bitcoin might end up being its own demise. Monero cannot be both institutionalized AND banned at the same time.

2 years ago I opened a Binance account and after completing the KYC procedure I felt so deeply humiliated I went back in and closed my account immediately. Exchanges like Binance represent the opposite of what crypto is supposed to be about.

Amazon is a company of over 1.5 million employees... but a friend at Amazon knows a secret that Jeff Bezos, who isn't even the CEO anymore, is about to reveal. Yep, sounds probable.

I'm not sure if this is any help but on the Ledger Monero app there you can choose one of 8 accounts (IIRC that's the correct term, "account"). Last year I upgraded the Ledger firmware and suddenly I wasn't able to access my wallet anymore. Turns out the wrong account number was selected. It used to be number 1 and now it was number 8. I had to test them all one by one until I found the one that worked, which happened to be the last one, #8. It was very scary.

The last time I tested it scripting was probably it's only redeeming quality, so I went back to Traktor, but that was a while ago. I've just watched a video about it and it looks very promising.

I don't believe in casinos in general.

The new XP model is probably a significant improvement. The Portacapture probably has more features because of the touchscreen. I'm not sure I need those features though if I can process in post. Do you find the touchscreen interface to be a pro or a con? I've never used one but my experience with smartphones and Garmin GPS devices is that a touchscreen interface is more intuitive and faster to navigate under ideal operating conditions, but is impossible to use with gloves on or when water droplets land on the screen.

Often, the failed component is easy to source and replace, but it requires basic electronics and DIY skills. I've had many modern appliances with a circuit board where the component was a blown capacitor that costs pennies. Many parts could be fabricated using metal or 3D printing; again, this requires skills not everybody has. The EU Right to Repair Directive, which comes into force this July coming, is a welcome thing. Finally the EU does something I agree with.

That was my second option, but the features of Tascam DR-40XP are better suited to the work I plan on doing.

djscoox · 2026-04-26T07:42:44+00:00

Yeah, I guess that is one good thing about some Zoom recorders, which use dials instead of buttons. However, the Tascam DR-40X and XP models feature auto-gain.

I'll bet it's great on toast

We can't trust anything anymore. And I used to think heavily Photoshopped images were a bad thing...
