It is important to almost everyone, you just shouldn’t have to actively take care of it. This has also been a principle of Monero from the very beginning: Everyone who uses it enjoys privacy without having to enforce it manually.

I was happy to see that you can listen to your podcast on a simple website, without registration or apps. I can only continue to recommend using and advocating open and good technology and avoiding closed things that also perform actions for commercial purposes that are not beneficial to the user. Take social media, for example: Use Twitter less, Mastadon more often instead.

We should celebrate and use the good and not dwell on the bad and worry about it. Time is better spent trying out the good and helping to spread and improve it. Monero is not without alternatives either, just like Linux. Instead of always using the standard Linux distribution, you can also install BSD to contribute to the diversity of the infrastructure. Monero’s privacy technology could be overtaken by Lightning-like state channels. Good will prevail.

I thought they specialized in shitty (scam)tokens.

Have they switched it off for australia?

To find out if XMR Monero is available in your region via Kraken, you need to check their website or app or ask their support.

where should i go to exchange to monero?

There are many providers that allow an exchange. For example, the Cake Wallet has integrated it, or the Edge.app Wallet. There are also providers such as Exolix or Changenow, or newer technologies such as UnstoppableSwap.

Here is the Nodo, even in English and on odysee:

Are there any strong competitors of Monero?

No. XMR are 100% mining rewards. Proven technology has been running since 2014.

Parallelization has already been expressed as a future Monero wish to eliminate this bottleneck. Today and tomorrow, however, the existing capacity is many times sufficient to handle the actual volume.

As already discussed here.

Not a surprise to us on this website here.

Monero is the successor of Bitcoin:

• automatically private and uncensorable
• decentralized, any computer can participate
• any PC can easily mine XMR with the GUI wallet
• Faster transactions than Bitcoin
• low transaction fees, even with high utilization

transactions only to initial nodes they know and trust. I don’t know how to do that

• Create your own fullnode and leave it running all the time. So don’t just start it when it is needed for transactions or interactions with Monero. There are also very accessible methods for this, such as PiNodeXMR, which easily converts an SBC such as RaspberryPi into a secure Monero full node.

• Use Tor and a known trusted Tor node, e.g. hashvaultsvg2rinvxz7kos77hdfm6zrd5yco3tx2yh2linsmusfwyad.onion from hashvault Pool.

• Use VPN (and a known trusted node)

explain the need of a ban list? And how it works?

Adding the ban-list to your Monero GUI wallet or your Monero node prevents connections from being made to other nodes that are suspected of harming the Monero network. You don’t have to add a ban list, it’s voluntary, just an official recommendation. But everyone who adds a ban-list contributes to the security of Monero.

Exolix or Trocador, could be targeted

Use VPN/Tor and the wallets from Cake Wallet and Edge.app.

Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. It’s just that every connection to the potentially spying nodes on this list that is blocked potentially strengthens the Monero network privacy.

Node operators who use this list should subscribe to Boog900/monero-ban-list updates so that a new version can be added when changes are made to the list.

Monero GUI wallet

If your run your own local node through the GUI wallet, go to Settings. In the “Daemon startup flags” box, input “–ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>”. Then click the orange “Stop daemon” button. It will take a few seconds for the daemon to shut down. Then click the orange “Start daemon” button. If you use a remote node, whoever operates the remote node will decide if the ban list is enabled.

Dubai-based crypto exchange XT.com has suspended withdrawals after a hacker reportedly stole up to $1.7 million before converting it into ether (ETH).

A statement from XT this morning claims the exchange suffered an “abnormal transfer” of crypto from its platform wallet with the address 0xdb3ded7731c781224ec292e2163d9554c094fd7c.

“The amount involved in this incident is approximately 1 million USDT across 12 different currencies,” XT claimed.

However, the crypto security firm PeckShieldAlert reports that the exchange appears to have been hacked. It claims that the stolen funds were converted into 461.58 ETH, worth almost $1.7 million at the time of writing, and are sitting in an Ethereum address.

XT claims, “Our technical team is currently conducting an urgent investigation,” and noted it will release a “Merkel Tree Asset Proof System” in mid-December as a means of improving security and transparency.

It also stressed that the theft would not affect its users as its reserves are 1.5x larger than the user assets it holds. “These assets are owned by the platform and will not in any way harm the interests of our customers or users,” the exchange added.

Three hours ago, XT said it had to suspend coin withdrawals because of a “wallet upgrade and maintenance.”

The exchange claims to have 7.8 million registered users. Coingecko puts its 24-hour trading volume at almost $3.4 billion and claims it has almost $48 million in exchange reserves.
