1. SEPARATE MONERO ACCOUNTS - For privacy reason, organize own funds into accounts like “cash”, “work”, “trading”, “mining”, “donations”, etc.. And in order to later combine these individual accounts funds, sweep/withdraw each of the account balance the way, that you do NOT sweep/withdraw multiple accounts balances in a single transaction, but one transaction per account. Feather wallet may do this thanks to its "Coin control" functions? Source: https://getmonero.dev/public-address/subaddress.html ; https://docs.featherwallet.org/guides/features
2. WAIT/AGE XMR AFTER RECEIVING IT - After receiving Monero (XMR) from a 3rd party, wait some time (a few hours to a few days)
3. CHURN/MIX XMR BY SENDING IT TO OTHER OWN ACCOUNT - Churning/mixing means to send your Monero/XMR to a different account/wallet in order to make it harder for others to track you: "So after 1 churn, there is a 1 in 16 chance (6.25%) that this transaction is yours. After 2 churns, it is a 1 in 16x16 = 1/256 = 0.39% c

Hello all,

I am trying to set up Monero mining. I've set up the node which seems to have successfully syncrhonized the chain. In the wallet GUI I tried to start mining but:

• Solo mining seems to work in the wallet (cpu usage jumps like crazy)
• P2Pool mining seems to do nothing (no error, no cpu usage)

In order to investigate I ran the node from command line (though used the wallet flatpak location to save time):

Where can I signup for a monero debit card without a phone?

There are a number of "cryptocurrency debit card" providers -- services that issue you a traditional visa/mastercard/etc debit card that allows you to pay for purchases in fiat, but where the balance of the card is automatically converted from your cryptocurrency balance stored on their custodial wallet.

Note that a "cryptocurrency debit card" is distinct from gift cards in that the balance lives in an account below the debit card, not on the card itself. This is important because otherwise you may end-up with tons of different cards with low balances. It's important for my business that I can pay invoices with a single card, and if that card expires then the balance can simply be spent on the card's replacement.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any providers that do not require a phone to be linked to the account.

For security reasons, I do not mix insecure devices like my phone with high-risk accounts like fin

Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, agreed to pay more than $4 billion in settlements with several U.S. law enforcement agencies after years of investigations uncovered (PDF) widespread criminal use of the platform.

In addition to the settlement, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao pled guilty to several charges in federal court in Seattle on Tuesday. On social media, Zhao said he was stepping down as CEO, and during a press conference U.S. Justice Department officials said his removal was part of their agreement with the company.

Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen told reporters Binance knew and actively sought out business from sanctioned countries, terrorist groups and online marketplaces used by cybercriminals.

“Binance turned a blind

Officials at Poland’s Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw discovered a number of high-powered cryptocurrency mining rigs hidden in the courthouse — including in a ventilation duct and beneath a raised floor — which had been powered by electricity from the court’s mains supply.

The devices had their own modems to connect to the internet, according to Polish news channel TVN 24, meaning they were not connected to the court building’s network.

According to TVN 24, the devices were capable of consuming several thousands Polish Zlotys of energy per month — with 1,000 Zloty worth about $250 — and had been placed near power supply equipment.

In the last Monero General Fund transparency report in March 2023, the General Fund held 8452 XMR. As far as we know, this separate wallet is safe and unaffected. It would be possible to pay people with active CCS proposal from the General Fund, but nothing has been decided.

Monero secures its users’ financial privacy by making every user anonymous by default. To conceal the identity of the sender, recipient, and amount transferred in a transaction, Monero uses advanced privacy technologies such as ring signatures, stealth addresses, and Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT).

Atomic swaps between BTC and XMR have been one of the most discussed and anticipated developments in the field for quite some time.

While Farcaster is still working on the implementation of their protocol, the COMIT team has already delivered an MVP. Trustless cross-chain swaps are becoming a tangible reality. However, for atomic swaps to gain widespread and adopted, the user experience needs to be drastically improved. People shouldn't have to manually type commands into a terminal or understand the protocol at a technical level to participate. That's the problem this project aims to solve.

Make atomic swaps accessible to all!

The European Union could ban banks and crypto providers from dealing in privacy-enhancing coins such as zcash, monero and dash under a leaked draft of a money laundering bill obtained by CoinDesk.

The plans from Czech officials, who are chairing talks among EU governments on the proposed law, would represent the latest nail in the coffin for anonymous means of payment following tough new rules agreed over the summer.

“Credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto-asset service providers shall be prohibited from keeping …anonymity-enhancing coins,” said a legislative draft seen by CoinDesk, dated Nov. 9, which has been circulated to the bloc's other 26 member states for comment.
