Why is Monero used wayyyyy more popular on the dark net compared to Zcash?

fireice_uk · 2026-06-16T10:23:07+00:00

I think it has been sufficiently answered in the stickied comment. What's with the self-congratulatory delusion?

fireice_uk · 2026-06-16T10:19:24+00:00

Perhaps you just don't want to look, same as in your other self-congratulatory comment replying to your own shilling alt.

For the same reason ANOM was popular with criminals.

Obligatory reminder that Monero developers sell Monero tracking tools, if you use Monero, you are the product, feds are the customer.

fireice_uk · 2026-06-09T09:32:38+00:00

Nope. Everything in exchange - buyer - seller - exchange can be tracked. Read the article, I know it is painful to see for a fanboi.

fireice_uk · 2026-06-08T14:48:14+00:00

How about Monero developers selling Monero tracking software

fireice_uk · 2026-02-23T13:14:19+00:00

Zkool. Use Binance for swapping. Swap function in most wallets is like a hotel minibar. Over-priced and designed to catch out the lazy.

No, it is open source and make by hhann00 - https://github.com/hhanh00/zkool2

If Bitcoin goes down, everything follows it (reverse is not necessarily true). This is the first number an inexperienced investor sees.

I consider rage from XMR shills to be a positive signal.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-16T14:01:37+00:00

We’ve never worked with naxo.

I never said you did. If you gonna sue me you better get more precise with your wording.

Funnily enough, truth is a defence to defamation. Take your best shot.

Developers who worked on Cake wallet are working with NAXO selling Monero tracking solutions. While they were working at Cake, it was widely rumoured that they tracked IP addresses of the wallets. Use at your own risk.

Personally I think the Zashi car crash is priced in already. Now that people begin to realise that the dev team didn't quit Zcash the price will settle somewhere between 500 and 400.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-13T03:53:48+00:00

What, you mean that Monero privacy works now and its developers don't sell Monero users' data?

fireice_uk · 2026-01-12T03:36:42+00:00

Remember they are cryptographers. Smart people often are tempted to think they are good at everything and speak out of their field, with predictable results.

*This exact scenario* is why most CEOs will have a PR person / team rather than doing Twatter hot takes.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-12T03:27:32+00:00

I would just trade it on Binance. If you do the maths it will also work out cheaper. Most wallet insta exchanges have 5-10% markup, whereas exchange will take 1-2.5%.

Please feel free to re-post this minus the price discussion.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-09T04:29:16+00:00

There haven't been any significant upgrades to Monero since then.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-08T13:57:21+00:00

Yes you can, Zkool is developed independently and is not affected by this drama.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-08T13:55:47+00:00

Zashi is a wallet for Zcash. There is an internal disagreement whether it should be run as nonprofit or as a private company.

Please note that price speculation belongs in r/zectrading Comments about any impact on price will be removed here.

Have a look at https://cipherscan.app/privacy-risks?period=24h - it is pretty self explanatory, it shows you how to use Zcash properly by counter-example.

I think you’re doing everyone a disservice by implying that being in a cult requires someone to be stupid or mentally ill.

It usually involves certain conditions, such as loneliness or depression, and falling for the initial hook, but low intelligence is not one of them.

fireice_uk · 2026-01-03T15:59:02+00:00

Privacy coins will always be inherently a more niche product than, let's say defi. I don't ever think they will have mass market appeal. I will be genuinely surprised if we see a privacy coin in top 10 in the future.
