<t​ahdah:unredacted.org> No one is talking about the fact that Lazarus has swapped 100+ BTC for Monero?

<t​ahdah:unredacted.org> NVM

is there anything to to read or proof of this publicly? wannacry 2.0 is nice

<q​8monero:matrix.org> @m-relay:monero.social: what was the subject ?

"between April 2015 and November 2019, ShapeShift's API used 32-byte payment IDs. Those payment IDs are available from Monero's blockchain, which meant those transactions would be easier to trace " from bankinfosecurity.com/crypto-exchang…th-korean-monero-laundering-a-17629

<q​8monero:matrix.org> i though it was BTC

<q​8monero:matrix.org> and a lost wallet

contributing factor to this blog/investigation medium.com/@nbax/tracing-the-wannac…-0-monero-transactions-d8c1e5129dc1

integrated addresses still go brrrrrrr

long payment ids where deprecated soon after^ getmonero.org/2019/06/04/Long-Payment-ID-Deprecation.html

and now "Monero uses encrypted payment IDs or subaddresses which cannot be used to identify deposit addresses."

<f​areve:matrix.org> thoughts on using an cex for buying only usdt on it and then using an non kyc swap site either Tor or via free web proxy and use that to swap that usdt to xmr?is that good strategy?

use ltc

U could use stablecoins, but i personally dont like evm stuff and dont like stablecoins

monero is a stable coin

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> its a stable coin, but not a stablecoin

<c​rimsonleaf363:matrix.org> Not good.

<f​areve:matrix.org> @crimsonleaf363:matrix.orgexplain?

<c​rimsonleaf363:matrix.org> Buying a private bank digital currency with kyc isn't a good start for privacy. Monero will only obfuscate your transactions going forward. The CEX and Tether will see you going into a swap service. What do you care about being private?

avoid the CEX and use retoswap

<t​ortonator:matrix.org> if anyone is interested in making AI agents which interact with matrix(chatting, creating/joining/leaving rooms, etc), i've made a CrewAI tool, that works for this: github.com/turtle261/matrix_tool_crewai

<t​ortonator:matrix.org> Soon, I will have a "moderator" example, automatically and quickly deleting messages that are harmful, etc.

<t​ortonator:matrix.org> Stay tuned.

<t​ortonator:matrix.org> CrewAI allows multimodal agents, allowing removal of harmful images/videos(frames of it), too, not just text, through the tool. Also, cool stuff like doing web search, RAG through files, sequential reasoning, interaction with APIs, tools, etc-- can have an Personal assistant in Matrix, or a moderator, a coder(that can test the code!), or anything, is enabled through this. Soon,<clipped message>

<t​ortonator:matrix.org> You can send a message through matrix to an agent via PM, and it can perform tasks or actions via other CrewAI tools, interacting with computers, exucuting code, commands, etc. Also, interacting with crypto wallets, no problem.

hi frens! It's been a couple of years since I used XMR. Quick question, what is the size of the blockchain if I wanted to get a wallet and sync it?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Hi WeeBey, iirc the blockchain is currently ~210GB full and ~90GB pruned.

m-relay, yikes!

Oof. Not sure I can swing that. Thanks so much for the answer m-relay

Thanks m-bll

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Mbll has a hypen ?
