where can i find reference for ~/.config/monero-project/monero-core.conf
-
chiselfuse
like a list of options or documentation
-
chiselfuse
there is none, is there?
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> if somebody interested, I assume rg -INoxe "persistentSettings.\w+" | sort -u inside monero-gui would be enough to grab all the variables
-
br-m
-
br-m
<pw:xmr.mx> my mistakes ganza mention gui
-
br-m
-
chiselfuse
they're not documented anywhere
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Correct
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> gui conf is written and read by the gui. Its not for manual configuration
-

<pw:xmr.mx> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: good bot

<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Monero has been removed from Coingecko I think
-
br-m
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Curious what their reasoning is
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Now it's back:
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> > No trading activity recorded by exchanges integrated on CoinGecko in the past 30 days.
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Getting closer to dexs like reto providing the price
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Yeah the price is staying the same on Coingecko now
-
BlueyHealer
also, as one of the commenters pointed out... The dude literally has a twirlable moustache lol

<pw:xmr.mx> working here. > <@nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> Monero has been removed from Coingecko I think
-
br-m
<pw:xmr.mx> although yesterday there was a few hours the graph 'flat lined’ even though the price fluctuated
-
br-m
<pw:xmr.mx> I did have a CG update earlier a few hours ago

gingeropolous
anyone else having connectivity issues to monero.social?
-
nioc
bridge down here as well?
-
nioc
yep it is
-
DataHoarder
bridge will be down if monero.social is down
-
gingeropolous
where is sgp.... i thought they kept an irc instance going
-
plowsof
social admins are aware and should get to this today

Hello, is there any news regarding the latest development within the field "police agency claims to trace Monero, provides no proof"?
-
yanmaani
-
yanmaani
-
DataHoarder
as usual they will use exchanges or other tooling to track people
-
yanmaani
DataHoarder: That is the reasonable assumption without evidence, yes. However, if you like your tea leaves, there are some interesting turns of phrase they used.
-
yanmaani
Keep in mind that (1) there is only 3 paragraphs of information and (2) the source is just what is claimed by the Norwegian Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos)
-
yanmaani
> In 2025, Kripos developed a method that makes it possible to track the use of Monero in specific cases. This method was used in this operation and enabled us to identify individuals who paid for access to child abuse material. Kripos has also identified two sellers of child abuse material. These individuals are not located in Norway.
-
yanmaani
> Central to the operation is a method developed by Kripos in 2025 that makes it possible to track Monero transactions in specific cases.
-
yanmaani
> "Without this method, we probably wouldn't have made these arrests," says [Police Attorney Terje Nedrebø Michelsen], who explains that the method was developed at the initiative of the cryptography experts at Kripos.
-
yanmaani
What sticks out here is the odd and guarded phrasing in the first paragraph: they track "the use of" Monero. They also very carefully avoid claiming the ability to identify the sellers.
-
yanmaani
They say that (1) we used this method to identify buyers, and (2) we also identified sellers
-
yanmaani
I think this makes it more trustworthy. They are not claiming a general-purpose method, but a method that works for some specific niche.
-
DataHoarder
you can make many specific ways to achieve that with current decoy system, specially if you have cooperation of exchanges and other places along both sides
-
DataHoarder
for example because all coinbase outputs are known per miner on p2pool you can see when someone sweeps (spends a large amount of outputs at once) and identify the specific miner with high likelihood
p2pool.observer/sweeps
-
DataHoarder
-
DataHoarder
105 inputs, 100% of these were identified as coinbase inputs where all of them had at least a specific miner (plus some others, but one was always in the decoy set)
-
DataHoarder
post FCMP++ this won't be possible
-
DataHoarder
the chain breaks very fast and these are first-order
-
DataHoarder
so you need very special conditions/situations to achieve it efficiently
-
yanmaani
Yes, this was my thought too. Like: what if you first pay Alice $10, then move $10 to an exchange, then pay Alice $10 again. She'd be easily able to strip out the decoys, right?
-
DataHoarder
no, but can take a guess
-
DataHoarder
that is a single input/output in the set
-
DataHoarder
it's usually when they can tell across many outputs/inputs where a signal can be used, usually along other factors (ips used on exchanges, browsers, etc)
