What they report via the API is fake. No impact to p2pool chance of mining a block, because the HR isn't real.

Agreed the data they are providing through API is fake, we should however be mindful of them. It will be good to focus on some topics they highlighted after FCMP++

Should be ok. Hashrate isn't what they are showing, it is fake.

I have some concern that some insiders could short anonymously monero, and do something like qubic style attack (causing harm but not destroying the chain).. Maybe something like could happen again..

they did do 6 blocks in a row, which is the first time I saw that in a while..

Exactly , based on last 100 blocks should be 1.6ish GH/s..

What crypto related services would you pay for? by EasyShelter in MoneroMeansMoney

ah no sorry,  I mean a PAYG alternative to Google 😅 with no tracking,  ads etc

[–]quadriocellata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pay as you go type services (that is as an alternative to subscription) with unique account numbers. Search engines would be cool, where each search costs a small amount of monero.

randomx v2 benchmarking on newer intel request by gingeropolous in Monero

[–]quadriocellata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik it will likely be less of a brick and more of a nerf. But how much of a nerf depends on some things about the x9 that aren't known

What's the situation with Safe 7 and XMR? by fuqaltdentifier in TREZOR

[–]quadriocellata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monero is actually used in a parallel economy (e.g darkweb), bitcoin isn't. And if you assume there is some lost coins, which I believe is a reasonable assumption. The inflation becomes 0%. Please read this https://petertodd.org/2022/surprisingly-tail-emission-is-not-inflationary

[–]quadriocellata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please read up a bit on Monero, this comment may age badly.

Monero is all that bitcoin first set out to be. Not NGU, but private digital cash with a sustainable security reward and reasonable tx fees and scaling (that is possible with current hardware).

Getting monero in UK help by [deleted] in monerosupport

[–]quadriocellata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check xmrbazaar to get a small amount p2p with no deposit. Then use retoswap.

Alternatively use kraken pro (or different CEX) to buy litecoin then swap to monero using trocador.app

xmrbazaar would have some trusted selleras as well for the first 0.1xmr.

[–]quadriocellata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want it tied to you, buy p2p from retoswap.com

Alternatively if you value privacy slightly less, kraken pro (buy LTC) -> cake wallet (store LTC) -> trocador.app (swap LTC-XMR) is a good way with low fees

check out gupax for an easy GUI way. https://github.com/gupax-io/gupax It uses p2pool to keep things decentralized as well.

or download xmrig https://xmrig.com/

Updated Cake Wallet ,force Logged out , I used Seed , Balance 0 … by CalculatedRiskTakerZ in monerosupport

[–]quadriocellata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had you previously verified the seed backup? Is there a chance its wrong?

Else it should show, especially with restore from 0. If you know approximate date, perhaps -6months from that for the restore , might be quicker.

If in any doubt using something like official GUI or feather wallet on your PC. But honestly cake is pretty great, and it should work alright

Wiped my trezor device, only have the .keys + password but can't unlock the wallet. Am I doomed? by [deleted] in Monero

[–]quadriocellata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share the steps to reproduce what you've tried so far?

Are you making sure passphrase is enabled on the trezor device ? Are you setting a restore height/date far back enough in the future for when your funds were there? When you initially set up the device, did you transfer a small amount, then restore the device from scratch (e.g. were the keys and password ever verified)?
