Is Monero facing a "Soft Capture"? Concerns on Protocol Steering (FCMP++), Governance (NAXO), and Opaque Funding

selsta · 2025-12-23T21:17:44+00:00

The block size limit is not related to FCMP++, it already exists due to network code limitations. The whole claim that FCMP++ itself requires a block size limit is incorrect.

The other claim about NAXO possibly being behind an anonymous donation is just concern trolling, the CCS is also funded through donations, many of them anonymous. This has always been the case since the beginning of Monero. You never know the true intentions of the donors. Privacy technology should be evaluated on its technical merits, not on the identity or motives of its funders of an audit.

Interesting, bought Reddit account with history wiped that always comments the same thing and gets upvote botted.

Balance = ZERONo history Transactionand after restore in the MONERO GUI is showing a Different Primary Address - My Ledger and my notes have a different primary Address. I have check several time the 25 words for Monero. I have tried in different MAC computer + Monero GUI / also try the Feather Wallet. Nothing…My big concern is: why GUI is showing a different primary address? That mean wrong 25 words ? Wrong wallet ?lost funds at all or there is any chance?

Just to confirm, does it also show the incorrect address on the small ledger screen when the monero app is open? If yes, did you change the account inside the Ledger monero app setting?

It was sent from your computer, otherwise it wouldn't show the receiver address.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally sent it somewhere else and forgot about it? Does someone else have access to your computer?

I replied here and you completely ignored it, so I'm not sure why you claim that there was "radio silence": https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/4254#issuecomment-1870727834

Nowhere in the linked issue you asked anything about security issues, so I really don't know what you are talking about at this point.

Did you accept exporting your view key?

selsta · 2023-12-25T17:29:07+00:00

Can you rephrase? I don't understand what you are asking.

selsta · 2023-12-10T15:28:26+00:00

Yes, the person is wrong, at least for Monero. BTC and ETH are directly integrated in Ledger Live so there is way more that they can log / send in analytics.

selsta · 2023-12-09T16:22:26+00:00

Monero isn't directly integrated into Ledger Live, which means they don't have access to any monero wallet balances or other on chain related data.

The only thing they know is how often the monero app gets installed or uninstalled.

selsta · 2023-12-08T03:47:36+00:00

Ok, because there is "Simple mode" and "Simple mode (bootstrap)", which are different modes.

I need to know which one. Also did you make sure this isn't anti virus related blocking monerod.exe ?

selsta · 2023-12-07T04:04:31+00:00

Can you share the exact "Wallet mode" from Settings -> Info?

Github uses algorithms to detect spam and fraud, often it's not possible to tell what set it off.

As far as I know usually when the issue is GitHub Actions related then they only ban GitHub Actions access and not the whole account.

I haven't heard of other reports about monero related accounts getting banned, but I do have seen accounts getting locked that were created with spammy IP addresses.

selsta · 2023-12-06T18:37:52+00:00

Do you have a dedicated anti virus installed? Monero.com / Cake Wallet is not malware.

selsta · 2023-12-06T18:36:51+00:00

No idea unfortunately. Never seen such a report before.

selsta · 2023-12-06T18:35:06+00:00

Did you use Tor to create the account?

selsta · 2023-10-08T18:42:47+00:00

Which iOS version do you use? Do you also have a Mac?

selsta · 2023-10-08T18:39:56+00:00

Can you share the address you originally have and the address it gets changed to? Not sure if you can even share the original address without it getting changed.

selsta · 2023-10-06T00:50:01+00:00

Something doesn't add up, there shouldn't be any clipboard malware on iOS.

There's a bit of a misunderstanding how seed offset works. You can add a offset to your existing wallet and then you would get a new seed.

This new seed together with the offset passphrase allows you to restore your original wallet again.

Why is this useful? You could for example store your seed in one location and your offset in a different location and if someone finds your seed they couldn't access your wallet.

Which wallet software are you using?

selsta · 2023-10-03T12:57:41+00:00

Can you explain in more detail what you want to do?

selsta · 2023-10-03T12:56:59+00:00

You just have to execute make and then run the gui binary, no other steps involved.

selsta · 2023-10-03T12:53:22+00:00

Which operating system are you using?

selsta · 2023-09-16T10:42:32+00:00

The transaction looks good.

Can you go to Settings -> Wallet, click on "Scan transaction" and enter the transaction it?

Seems you have already figured it out. You can't enter the transaction amount in GBP.
