#Privacy isn’t a digital monastery; it’s a kit of simple habits and tools. The utopia of total invisibility only paralyzes you. Real practice is about reducing traces and picking your battles. The limit of your privacy is yours to decide—it’s your choice. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel for email. ProtonMail or Tuta give you encrypted accounts, easy to use, with clean apps and web access. They’re not Gmail, but good enough for personal use. For messaging, Session Messenger drops the phone number and is decentralized. More friction than WhatsApp, but realistic for those who want privacy without asking anyone’s permission. Signal has a user-friendly interface, but it uses your phone number, which is a vulnerability for tracking. Brave Browser blocks trackers by default, integrates Tor in private windows, and supports HTTPS Everywhere out of the box. Search engines matter too. Stop giving Google everything. DuckDuckGo, Brave itself, and Startpage deliver decent results without intrusive profiling. Just a simple settings change. When it comes to payments, a debit card in your name is fully traceable. For private purchases, Monero is practical and usable through P2P exchanges. Bitcoin lost much of that edge. For files and cloud storage, you don’t need blind trust in Google Drive. Use Tresorit, Nextcloud, whether self-hosted or trusted hosting, or Syncthing across your own devices. That way, you control who gets access. A VPN is useful but not magic. Choose one with no logs, like Mullvad or IVPN. It protects you on public Wi-Fi and hides your IP from the sites you visit. Passwords are the simplest fix. A manager like Bitwarden or KeePassXC is more secure than reusing the same password everywhere. Strong passwords mean fewer leaks and less exposure. No need to jump to Linux tomorrow, though it’s ideal. With AI, the learning curve is now gentler. At the very least, review app permissions on your phone to minimize everyday spying. And if you’re going to use AI, don’t hand over your data. Run open-source models locally with tools like Ollama or LM Studio, or use trusted services like Perplexity in private mode or Duck.ai The point is to prevent your history from being turned into merchandise.

🚀 Recent impact on the price of XMR One of the unforeseen and collateral causes of the QUBIC parasitic ecosystem's attack on Monero is indirectly impacting the price: the immediate damage is being suffered by CEXs: frozen withdrawals, broken order books, institutional panic. The strange thing comes later — if the exchanges close, the attacker loses their most convenient and liquid way to transform XMR into fiat. Having to sell on P2P changes the mechanics: fragmented liquidity, high slippage, visible counterparties. That friction makes the maneuver more expensive and turns the sale into a black box that can be leaked. The unforeseen consequence: decentralization itself becomes a trap for those who wanted to dominate the network. If demand for XMR holds steady, its price rises in this context Immediate risk to CEXs and their reputation. But tactically, there is an opportunity: P2P monitoring, coordination of liquidity providers, and evidence collection can transform the attack into a public demonstration of its fragility. If it works, what came to scare could end up undermining the lever of power.

An emergency measure in response to profound reorganizations of the blockchain. To stop the attack from escalating, an emergency measure is being discussed: “rolling DNS checkpoints.” What does this mean and why is it controversial? A reorg happens when already confirmed blocks are replaced by a longer alternative chain. This can enable double-spend attempts and weaken security. Monero usually avoids centralized points of control: each node validates the chain in a decentralized way, following proof-of-work consensus. DNS checkpoints would be “sealed” blocks distributed through a server controlled by the Core Team, forcing nodes to accept them as valid. This instantly blocks deep reorganizations: if a checkpoint marks a block as valid, no attacker can replace it with an alternative chain. The upside: it’s a quick security patch, acting as a firewall against destabilizing attacks. The downside: decentralization takes a hit. Instead of the network deciding on its own, trust is introduced in a specific group (the Core Team). It’s the classic cypherpunk dilemma: immediate security versus temporary centralization. The idea is for DNS checkpoints to be a stop-gap, a “seatbelt,” while structural solutions are designed. Monero’s future depends on how it balances security and decentralization. The community is watching closely—this debate defines the very essence of the network.

Why the recent notable rise in the price of $XMR, after the biggest reorganization of the #Monero blockchain in its history 12 hours ago, with 19 orphan blocks, knowing about the Qubic miners' attack? Is the market foolish or does it not read the news? No, the market understood that the network is resilient and is one of the best privacy blockchains to combat what is coming in the world of surveillance money. THE PRICE FOLLOWS THE VALUE.

My humble but confident message to the #Monero community How ironic: Mercenary miners who would sell their own mothers aren't going to bring down Monero with cheap selfish games. Outside attackers are not the problem. Attacking from within is the most dangerous thing... until you discover that there are more of us on the other side, and we don't sell out our principles of freedom and privacy. Monero is already resisting governments, regulators, and textbook FUD. The attacks will continue. Do you really think that opportunists with calculators are going to win? Spoiler: no. The protocol adapts, the community resists. And every orphan block just reminds us that the network was born to survive in hostility. In the end, Monero is the oak tree in the storm. Mercenary and traitorous miners are rotten and dry branches that will fall. We are not the same.. WE ARE MONERO, WE ARE PRIVACY IN FREEDOM!

Albania's prime minister appoints an AI-generated 'minister' to tackle corruption

Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama says his new Cabinet will include an artificial intelligence “minister” in charge of fighting corruption.

What is the biggest obstacle for the vast majority of #decentralized solutions? Their complexity. They are not user-friendly for ordinary users, and their interfaces, installations and configurations are often complicated. Too much friction is the enemy of adoption. The learning curve is long and winding, which is why most people opt for the convenience of centralized applications, which are generally attractive and intuitive.

Physical doors can be closed by the central government, protocols are more resilient. Build digitally and #decentralized.

Some people comply in silence, others complain in volume — both end up following the rules, just with different soundtracks. —Li₿ΞʁLiøη

The politician steals… but let’s be clear, the real partner is the one who votes for him twice and then complains in the bank line. You know the saying: it’s not the pig’s fault, but the one who feeds it.

I can't find any news about whales moving their funds in #Monero How strange, right? I guess it must be because these whales swim very deep... 😉

#Monero isn’t your crypto lottery ticket or some banker’s racket. It’s money. Period. Money that doesn’t ask for permission or report to anyone. If you get that, you’re sniffing freedom; if not, you’re just another tourist buying fake souvenirs.

#AI: Iteration > Prompt Engineering The cult of the “perfect prompt” died young. Modern LLMs —like ChatGPT or Mistral’s LeChat— have memory and keep getting better at understanding. Just like in real life, the important thing is not to get it right the first time, but to iterate: add context, refine, and push the model to really think with you.

What is the relationship between hashrate and block distribution? Current data on #Monero

Monero (XMR) RandomX | Mining Pools

List of known Monero pools (XMR) RandomX PoW algorithm. Live hashrate distribution, pool fees & minimum payment comparison. Mining Pools & Block Ex...

Hashrate: This is the computing power contributed by a pool or miner. The higher a pool's hashrate is relative to the total network hashrate, the greater its probability of finding a block. Block distribution: This reflects the blocks actually found in a period (e.g., the last 100 blocks). In theory, it should match the hashrate percentage, but since finding blocks is a probabilistic process, there are short-term fluctuations. Practical relationship In the long term: block distribution converges to the relative hashrate of each pool. In the short term: there may be random deviations. A pool with 20% hashrate may mine 10% or 30% of the blocks in a small sample. When a pool reaches 50% of blocks over long periods, it also concentrates approximately 50% of the hashrate → risk of centralization. In summary: the hashrate is the “bet” and the distribution of blocks is the observed “result.”

What do #Nostr, #Session, and #Monero have in common? Nostr is an open protocol for decentralized social networks: no single servers, your key is your identity. Session is a private messaging app: it doesn't ask for your phone number, it uses onion routing and distributed nodes. Monero is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency: it hides the sender, recipient, and amounts using advanced cryptography. All three—Nostr, Session, and Monero—share the same root: they seek to minimize dependence on intermediaries and protect privacy. Each approaches this from a different angle: 𑁋Decentralization as a principle Nostr is an open protocol for social networks that does not rely on a single server. Session is a messenger that works without a central metadata server, using a distributed network of nodes. Monero, in the financial realm, was designed to have no bank or authority controlling transactions. 𑁋Privacy and resistance to surveillance Monero encrypts and obfuscates sensitive transaction information (amount, sender, recipient). Session prevents tracking by not asking for phone numbers and by routing messages through an onion-type system. Nostr allows anyone to post and read without the need for identification linked to companies or governments, using only cryptographic keys. 𑁋Cryptography at the core They all rely on public/private keys as the basis for identity and security: in Nostr, your key is your username; in Session, your identity is created on the device; and Monero relies on complex cryptographic techniques (ring signatures, stealth addresses, etc.). In short, they are pieces of the same movement that seeks to give individuals back control over their communication, identity, and money, outside of centralized platforms.

Today I received a tip in $XMR for one of my articles. Thank you to the generous anonymous soul who has financially recognized my work. This recognition is encouraging, beyond the financial incentive, which is no small thing. You can read my material on https://medium.com/@liberlion

Even by sucking Monero's blood, Qubic's parasite does not grow...

I realized a long time ago that most people seek compliance imposed by regulators, and do not seek financial privacy, because they do not understand the need for it, of course, until they suffer the consequences. When you understand that financial #privacy sets you free 👇🏻 View quoted note →
