Maybe an old question, but how anonymous is monero today?
-
apotheon
pretty damned private

kraz0r: In general, it seems that some pretty minimal opsec will keep your transactions anonymous.
-
apotheon
e.g. don't tell people about them, use Tor, use software that isn't shitty for your privacy

Monero = most advanced cryptography coin on the internet. Somebody say I'm wrong..

the internet/world wide web is obsolete now anyways. Too many people on this thing, it wasn't prepared for billions of people/devices all logging on and buying shit online.

Fork the internet,

how to IRC w/o interweb?
-
lousiF
IRC is like the ham radio of the internet
-
lousiF
just don't use http protocol, and you're fine

I remember telnet'ing friends/family, call their PC direct live chat
-
lousiF
you could see each other typing and correcting typos in real time
-
lousiF
We had to call the internet, anyone remember? L
-
lousiF
You would be offline, then have to logon to the internet by phone. now it's just on all the time. Trip

I once played dialup modem sound to a friend, he's younger (whatever the next generation before millenials is or something)
-
lousiF
He cringed and begged me to turn the sound off immediately. lol

The newb generations will never know that feeling..
-
lousiF
no dial tone around either
-

I've been using irc since the 90’s. Still works fine.
-
lousiF
we could be using a 56k or 33.6k Dialup connection and this would still work fine,

I am currently still translating zero to monero to portuguese. It is not only translating but also exposing the protocol the best i can in verbatim terms.
-
slave_blocker2
One of the things i want to explain is gamma...
-
slave_blocker2
In the pedersen commitments it is said :
-
slave_blocker2
H = 8 ∗ to point(H_n (G))
-
slave_blocker2
This implies that there is a γ such that :
-
slave_blocker2
H = γG .
-
slave_blocker2
And there is no monerian that knows γ .
-
slave_blocker2
Because it is calculated through a hash function...
-
slave_blocker2
I would like to expose the implications of knowing γ .
-
slave_blocker2
I was told that knowing γ lets you forge xmr. This is,
-
slave_blocker2
print xmr out of thin air.
-
slave_blocker2
Can someone help me please ?
-
slave_blocker2
I am very persistent and i am already finished with the translation, except

slave_blocker2
footnotes and lifting semantic errors here and there.
