00:02:13 <m-relay> <e​ndor00:matrix.org> Ah, missed that it was the wallet
03:20:51 <pincet> if decoys in a monero tx are typically chosen from recent blocks, doesn't that mean spending an utxo like a year later, would mean it is clearly the real spend?
03:34:18 <BoBeR182> pincet: how would you know it's from a year later?
03:35:36 <pincet> because it's on the blockchain a year later
03:36:03 <BoBeR182> My understanding was UTXO's can't be read without the viewkey
03:36:06 <BoBeR182> am I mistaken
03:41:19 <pincet> the stealth addresses are visible, without viewkey
03:41:52 <pincet> you don't know the amount, but the stealth address makes it possible to trace the flow of transactions
03:42:31 <BoBeR182> hmm, this is a relatively big bug then
03:42:41 <BoBeR182> I don't know enough to speculate further
03:42:54 <BoBeR182> I would see if you can test this by finding out the "recent" limit
03:43:01 <BoBeR182> and tracking down some transactions
03:44:44 <pincet> i was hoping i was wrong on this, and someone could explain to me why i'm wrong :)
03:49:12 <BoBeR182> https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/86
03:49:24 <BoBeR182> seems it's recent from the rx to the tx
08:46:47 <m-relay> <e​ndor00:matrix.org> pincet that's why the decoy selection algorithm also picks some older decoys (though with lower probability)
08:48:57 <m-relay> <e​ndor00:matrix.org> The ideal DSA would perfectly match the probability distribution of outputs being spent over time, and pick decoys accordingly
17:54:55 <m-relay> <w​illybonkers:matrix.org> Hello everyone. Is it a good practise to purchase XMR via a credit card or PayPal. and then transfer it to a BTC wallet, in order to pay on some sites, or is it a must to purchase XMR via cash in the mail?

18:24:13 <m-relay> <k​4r4b3y:karapara.net> It's not a "must"
18:24:27 <m-relay> <k​4r4b3y:karapara.net> depends on what amount of your own personal information you want to be tied to your XMR purchase.
20:16:43 <m-relay> <d​34d8its:matrix.org> If the end goal is to buy BTC, and you’re going to use a KYC payment method, skip the middleman and just buy BTC.
