[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[bribed]

I read something today that Monero cant provide fully anonymous transactions, because its leaking IP-addresses somehow. I dont want to spread fud or anything, this just interests me and you maybe can give me a clear answer here if this is the case or not?!

Afaik this issue was already solved several months ago... but maybe I got something wrong about that.

There was no such issue, some guy on twitter thought it would be a good way to spread fud by parsing netstat output and posting it on twitter for some reason.

Every time I read or hear any good thing about Monero I have wish to collect lot of these coins but it is already expensive for lot of people. I still keep raising in small tranches to reach at few coins. All the talks about XMR are very positive and shows potential which is to come yet.

monero has telegram grup?or no?

[popeye95]

BTC really show it was in bubble zone thanks to the recent news about coinbase. Time for people to see this and moving their bag back to altcoins, XMR maybe.

Yeah the price of monero is very expensive and one needs to have huge fund to invest in it but with a lot of huge potential behind Monero I think its still a good altcoin to invest because I see monero mooning to $1k very soon.

So this was all FUD again. Thanks for clearing this up. Im sick of all this Fud that is spread around in the crypto space. If this was really just one freakin guy on twitter and this fake news had such large waves in the space. Crazy. Poor crypto. Anyway thanks for letting me know.

It's not leaking anything. That is by design for all nodes to be able to find each other on a decentralized platform. It has only been an issue the last year for fudders and alot of "Anon" coins are looking at changing that and XMR is one of them with the best solution which is IP2 where the shitcoins are using TOR which is compromised. BTW you have always been able to run XMR through TOR (well for as long as I can remember).

I wish i had bought monero when it was at 1$, So stupid. I never imagine how high this coin would be. Of course, Dark Web has a lot to do with monero growth.

Is not just the Dark Web, Is the anonimity in general. Nobody likes to other people knows how many money do you own. Poor Vitalik, everybody knows he owns 500k ether (give or take)

when new updates?? I heard abount next month

[jvper]

Monero needs updates before it is too late to catch up with Dash. Momentum cannot be lost...

[mattmati]

Monero upcoming as a payment method on one of the Dark web services. This might be boost for the price.

Alright, good to know that. Thats why I was asking. I am currently looking for the best anonymous coin out there, and found this fud about monero not being fully anonymous. Therefore thanks for the explanation. I guess sticking with monero is the best choice as it is already far in development compared to other anon coins.

That right there is funny

I found a .keys file with a date stamp from May, which is when I would have set up the wallet. When I used the wallet name to start wallet-cli, it asked for a password and I gave it the password I had used in May and the wallet opened, showing no balance. I tried rescan_bc and it came back with zero balance.

Unless you have another idea, I think I'm sunk.

OK, here are some theories of what might have happened:

1. Maybe someone got hold of your wallet file or seed and withdrew your monero from your wallet. (people get hacked from time to time)
When you typed rescan_bc, did you see funds coming in and then going out? Each transaction will be listed one per line, with incoming funds as green and outgoing funds as purple. Each line will have the block number, from which you can tell when that transaction took place.

2. Maybe you have another wallet, that's saved in a different folder. Issue a search in all your drives for .keys files (and don't forget to include hidden folders in the search)

3. Maybe there's something wrong with your daemon or your blockchain copy. In the monerod window type 'diff' and post here the number it outputs for BH.

You said earlier something about a mnemonic seed. Do you still have it?

1. When I type in rescan_bc, there are no transactions, just a zero balance.

2. I did the search for .keys and found a wallet from May, 2017, which is around the time I created the wallet. When I try to open that wallet, it opens with the password I had recorded for Monero.

3a. First, I noticed the following when I started Monerod.exe:
2017-11-30 22:40:59.290 [P2P7]  WARN    net.dns src/common/dns_utils.cpp:487    WARNING: no two valid MoneroPulse DNS checkpoint records were received

3b. This is a copy of the last line before I entered 'diff' and then the line following diff:
2017-11-30 22:44:39.681 [P2P7]  INFO    global  src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl:1521    SYNCHRONIZED OK
diff
BH: 1454598, TH: 02bfba6379a04c8c7fc8495efdaf9eae1a1e7454c39ce613776e15484ae258a7, DIFF: 32213148640, HR: 268442905 H/s

4. Yes I still have the mnemonic code associated with the wallet created in May, 2017 as well as the password and name of the wallet.

Monero is finally starting to get it's due.

I think it's just a matter of time before it overtakes DASH.

The centralization of DASH makes it highly untrustable in my mind.

I am quite sure he owns some more cryptocurrencies besides his 500 k Ether (if it's true what you say) Probably some XMR as well!

There seem to be a load of bot posts here recently, or am I just noticing loads of pointless posts which appear to be bot-like?  Not sure. Either way, it kind of makes reading the posts here not worth the effort  

Yep this site is infested.  Fumigation required.

add:

Not sure if coincidence, but I've shifted from ignoring, to complaining, to reporting them as bot spam, and now they've been disappearing...
