i know im a high roller right?

i liked monerians or monerists

Moneristas ?

Though hopefully it will be "people" in ten years

Atrides has a private channel to inform people who contributed. I guess when there is enough to say, he will post something here.

I've heard or seen anything in the last 2 weeks on here about that project.

XoMoneRians   - Incorporates the XMR

Not sure to agree with the usage of the term "always" here. If you - out of badluck - bought your coins or sold some from/to somebody that get busted because he used SR often enough, good luck. You may believe you have nothing to fear because you paid all taxes and never did anything illegal, but beware of retroactive laws.

The sole fact that a link exists between you and activities under prosecution demonstrates the relatively weak bitcoin fungibility. (much weaker than cash).
If a bitcoin supporter (I am of course one btw) is being blind to this weak fungibility by design, just ask him why mixers even exist.

If I were doing anything illegal, I wouldn't put my future in the hand of a mixing service, knowing it would have to fight against (i) information outside the bitcoin system, whith which, in the grand picture you can correlate blockchain information much more than you believe when considering information available *only to you* ; and (ii) with all machine learning techniques that will be developped forever, or at least during your life time.


EDIT: The only way to not fear the last two points is to rely on systems that have mathematically provable anonymity (based on few "axioms" which anyway are keys to pretty much everything we do with encryption). I know only one such system that is both usable and not a plain scam. Besides it has a pretty nice community

EDIT 2: It makes me think of this:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/puzzling-together-the-past-new-computer-program-to-reassemble-shredded-stasi-files-a-482136.html
The parallel is obvious to me: at the time people were shredding the secret documents, they had no clue somebody in the future would have methods, and patience, to reassemble the documents.

Mixing occurs naturally in exchanges and everywhere else, so anyone with tainted funds will always have plausible deniability. Of course, plausible deniability may not be much of a comfort when you are in  handcuffed in an interrogation room.

Ahaha, good one!

I will coordinate Monero advertisement if we can crowdfund some PR


I would like to do this after the database merge hits production and after there is a mixin hardfork that rejects mixins under 3

I think you forgot Toyota MR2

Google search help:

The handy "inurl" operator

Monero "sub-threads" are on the OP

No one before the correct word is "googol" But I get the point.

Won't Shapeshift.io's Shifty Button be an option for this once they add Monero?

BinaryFate will LOVE this observation! He's the resident fungibility expert.

OpenAlias is mentioned in the slides:) ThomasV and I spoke about it before he presented that on Monday, and after seeing the slides I have some thoughts. I think email is a terrible mechanism, and I think x509 certs are fundamentally broken (getting a DV cert for a domain you don't own is relatively trivial, especially among the dodgier CAs). But first I need to flesh my thoughts out and put them down on paper:)

Smart Mining is even better! (coming soon in Monero)

Smart lamps are pretty cool too--moneraries use them to illumonate monestaries.

I recall learning & saying googolplex before Google existed, because I was probably 12 at the time and it was cooler than saying "infinity +1".

Isn't it the openalias principle as used by monero already?

I love LAMP
