OP challenges r/Monero to trace a BCH transaction for 20USD worth of XMR.

u/Willing_Astronaut430 claims the prize within 12 hours:

I think the OP missed the point of monero a little bit. He asked r/Monero to practically "guess which transaction I'm thinking of", and r/Monero responded by guessing each of his transactions.

The privacy issue he's missing is that we were able to wade through every transaction he has made. Whether or not we were able to guess the specific one he was thinking of is irrelevant.

It's not necessarily clear which transactions on the BCH blockchain are OPs and which are transactions that are made by other people, with coins that OP gave/sold/spent.

Oh edit: I misread his post, he was asking users to find a transaction sent to a cafe. That's fair. Please ignore my previous criticism.

Hi people. About my CCS idea [Decentralizing Molly.im to support Monero payments](repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/252) I just answered the questions raised during the last community meeting, if you're curious 👀

Concerns about the scope of the project, and how it would compare to Session, or to Monero mobile wallets

The two major mobile wallets being relatively vulnerable to forensic analysis seems like a pretty major issue, IMO

Quick question, how does XMR compare to other coins as far as transaction speeds and just technology in general...im just curious..

there is no quick answer to this quick question

freestatemag 0-conf transactions are generally safe so transactions can be considered instant in most cases. Monero is the most private, scalable decentralized coin around IMO

I would say that "among privacy coins, it is probably the most scalable decentralized coin". Monero transactions will just be bigger than those of a transparent chain.

carrington[m]: if someone has physical access to your unlocked phone then you have lost already anyway

calling this a "major issue" is a stretch

<valldrac[m]> "Hi people. About my CCS idea [..." <- Very thorough responses and write up, nice!

selsta in some countries, it is a criminal offence to not unlock your phone on request even without cause. It would be nice in that situation to at least know that there is no chance of a sneaky crypto confiscation

if it's a criminal offence they can also force you to enter your monero password?

I've not seen any reports of official demands for access to mobile crypto wallets in that way, but I suppose you could be right. Usually they are after photos/messages

fwiw CLI wallet wipes private keys out of RAM

The risk would be people in authority trying to sneakily sweep away crypto from the device while it is confiscated, as was apparently done with the original silk road

I can see someone also wanting it on android but IMO it's a niche scenario

i need that graphic that has all the benefits of monero on it

nevermind i found it
