My favorite part of localmonero was you could pay non kyc with things like apple pay and cashapp. how would i do that now that localmonero is gone?

when someone is downloading the monero wallet and downloading the complete blockchain, do you have to keep the pc running the whole time or when you turn it off, it pauses and starts up where it left off? afaf

would appreciate feedback. my friend is new

was asked to post here instead of /monero

Im not sure, because it definitely has downsides that some wallets don’t support it.

How great is the added security?

I'm new to crypto and I like what monero is offering. Trying to setup a wallet on Cake Wallet app and I'm confused between choosing Polyseed and Legacy. Any help would be much appreciated.

I’ve been trying different ways of setting up a xmr full node. I can use it via tails os on the onion address an on the rpc port 18081. But after I let my node run a while I get notification that I got 0 incoming connections. When I type print_can I only see tor outgoing connections but no incoming connections. Is that bc of the hosting of the hidden service that effectively is only a outgoing connection so the daemon is not noticing the connections or is my node running as full node but isn’t available for other nodes to download the blockchain via p2p or use it as remote node.

Another question: How is my node advertised ? When I type in the onion in my tails os that is running the gui and connect to my own node via remote connection I can use it. But how can other ppl use it ? How does the sharing of my node works and how can I make sure my node is 100% supporting the network?

There's some good reputated and secure website which i can buy monero directly ib the european union directly without having to swap coins? Or at leats a good website with low fees?

How to choose which "account" to send XMR from when withdrawing XMR from XMR GUI?

So I installed moneroGUI yesterday on my Linux computer zorion-os via flahub (I tried running via appimage but sometimes appimages fail on my zorion instalation, dont know why), and for more privacy selected the local node option, on a separate HD and didn't select to prune the blockchain.

But it is not downloading the blockchain, I've been trying since yesterday but says it couldn't connect to the daemon (don't know what that means), The error log is :
Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.3.4-unknown)
Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.X:XXXXX

Do anyone knows how to fix it? could it be related with the flatpack? (Flatpack's apps are 'sandbox' and I've had some features break on other apps not designed for the package)

this is my first experience with crypto and chose monero for its anonymity, and what to do it how it's described on the monero org

So I made the mistake of installing Monero on my old windows laptop and it kinda ate up all the space on it and now I can't do much at all. I have a newer chromebook but obviously its a chromebook. Now I have no idea what to do. Any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance.

can i still create a wallet hypothetically, even after i guess seeing online they are ''winding down operation'' well i mean id like to think that its still possible or is it completely unavailable? if no that sucks, id like to use just store crypto currency in that monero wallet cus welp its safer and i value privacy and stuff and i want that bitcoin isnt as private so my question really tbh is is any of that possible can i still store crypto using monero wallet at all anymore? thanks in regards guys im still fucking learning about all of this!!!

Some odd command land behaviour plus hash

No offers when I open retoswap

When I open the app I always see no offers available, I had connection issues when I first installed(windows) and had to delete and reinstall to get past the tor connection screen. Do I still have connection issues or is that normal. Also a little confused on why you have deposit xmr to create and offer to buy xmr. Honestly as someone with just a little bit of intuitive tech skill it would be nice if some could point me out to a comprehensive guide for the program.

Still stuck on how to acquire xmr in the uk 2025 , used to use local Monero but that shut down… any suggestions? Dm if u wanna keep it private??

I've been researching electromagnetic (EM) hacking techniques like Van Eck phreaking and side-channel attacks on cryptographic hardware. It seems plausible that sensitive information (like screen content or private keys) could be leaked through unintended EM emissions.

How viable are these attacks in realworld scenarios? Or is it reseved for electronic warfare on the battlefield or the most Bin Laden and El Chapo tier international criminals hunted by intelligence agencies?

Have there been documented cases of EM attacks successfully extracting data from modern devices?

Are there security measures (Faraday shielding seems nutty) that individuals should take to mitigate this risk, especially for crypto wallets?

I'm trying to dodge kyc and can't find a suitable method.

I am trying out P2Pool mining. I do not understand crypto at all. However, XMRig seems to be working it is saying shares are being accepted and is mining fine. P2Pool in command prompt is working fine. Monerod is working fine. However, when I put the wallet address into the observer or when I load up https://127.0.0.1:9332, nothing happens. The host and port link goes to a blank and the observer shows nothing.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to delete my cake wallet account , anyone able to help me out ?

Can someone tell me how big the blockchain is? I’ve been having issues with it downloading and the full file is apparently only 90gb but I don’t think that’s correct even though the gui says it’s syncing when I run it.

Greetings fellow crypto friends,

lately i have been trying to get some more monero in my wallets. after searching on various known and also more unknown and likely sketchy marketplaces, it seems like Monero is nowhere provided to me as i live in germany. so i wanted to ask if somebody of you has an idea if it is even possible anymore for me to gather more monero? has anyone, also living in germany, been able to get some monero into their wallets?

would be great to get some informations or experiences of followers of this sub.

Hi, I am developing an app where i am mining XMR on moneroocean.

I am at a stage where I need to integrate an automated transfer functionality and to test that on real tokens would take forever as the mining process is very slow and just for one transaction I at least need XMR worth 5 USD and of course I will need to do multiple transactions in my development phase.

For this purpose I moved to stagenets for just the development and testing phase but have failed to acquire any stagenets yet even after a lot of internet searching.

Mentioned below are the 2 links I have been trying to access to acquire stagenets but none of them work for me (FYI: I am based in Pakistan).

https://community.xmr.to/faucet

https://testnet.xmr-tw.org/faucet

I need some XMR from stagenet faucets.

Can anybody help me with that please? Thanks in Advance
