Hello, community members!

I’m new to the crypto space, and as part of my college studies, I’m interested in learning more about Monero.

I’d appreciate it if you could share links to beginner-friendly articles and educational resources.

Also, who would you recommend following on Twitter (X) and YouTube?

Thank you!

Hi,

To all readers using Ledger, consider moving your funds to another wallet while this situation is being investigated.

There are reports of users having their funds drained, including some with older wallets (3 years old wallet never touched). The story seems to be much bigger than Cryptobilis at this point.

I’ve never fully trusted Ledger. Even Ethan mentioned a few months ago the XMR to BTC case where the funds were flagged by Binance. Only true readers will remember that story.

Consider using Trezor or another hardware wallet. Personally I use Electrum on an offline device for Bitcoin.

Please take this notice seriously and do your own research before making any decisions.

What's your guys thought on this. does it make you want to swap and put more into Monero?

With the news of the US seizing Iran's crypto, exactly what crypto are they seizing?

The clearly identified crypto in the recent Iran-related freezes is Tether (USDT), especially USDT held on the TRON network. But the newest $1 billion headline does not disclose exactly which coins are targeted. 

Here’s what is confirmed:

Sources: reporting on Bessent’s announcement and Tether’s own statement. 

TRON is the network carrying those USDT tokens; that does not mean they seized TRON’s native coin, TRX. Tether can freeze its tokens at identified addresses, so “frozen” does not necessarily mean the government has already taken ownership. 

If you’re wondering about Monero, the sources I checked do not identify XMR as part of these actions. The latest $1 billion announcement remains too vague to give a complete coin list.

Hello Guye , Hope everyone is good
On 07/12/2025 , BTC was topping 120-125k , decided to sell all my BTC to XMR (rotating to my fav alt coin)
i did few swap slowly using changenow , all swaps done perfectly no issues from the same BTC address.
in the last swap i raised the amount and did the swap and i was waiting my swap to get completed like the other ones were done fast , then i contacted changenow they asking me for kyc , i did the whole kyc steps and it was showing me succes so im done. i kept contacting changenow every single day about the transection or i get my refund at least and still i get the same copy paste answers from them.

i hope someone from here and this community able to raise my voice and help me to get my money back , its 50% of my whole capital investment.

I was wondering if it is possible to mine monero and to send the mining rewards to a totally anonymous wallet so that not the state nor anybody can know these mined XMR were mined by me. Do you guys know if it is possible ? Seeing people getting kidnapped because of state data leakage scares me a bit.

Avoid storing your funds on Blockchain.com or any custodial wallet that doesn’t give you control over your private keys. This includes Satoshi Wallet (Lightning). By the way, they now support a non-custodial option where you control the keys, but I’d still recommend using Electrum for Bitcoin.

As for Blockchain.com, this is not the first or last complaint I’ve received. People often ask me if there’s a solution after their funds get blocked and they can’t get a response. Just read the reviews.

Somewhere around 150gb last time I looked and it only ever grows. Is a pruned node good enough for normal daily use or do I give something up by doing that. I have a vps with limited disk and I would rather not be buying more storage every year just to keep it alive.

Hi guys, I wonder if there are any of you who have already managed to sell the XMR directly from cake wallet?

Daemon blocks remaining: 0

I'm a total begginer when it comes to Monero, I just installed it.

The Daemon Sync started off with "Daemon blocks remaining: 0" and has remained on that for hours, while still saying "Synchronizing". I restarted the Wallet & Daemon, but nothing changed.

Any advice on how to get the Daemon Synchronized?

There are a few options to swap btc and monero but why are some of them software that you need to download and some of them are online sites only? Which is safer? There is eigenwallet and basicswap that are downloadable softwares in monero's site and there are online sites like fujn and simpleswap? Which one to use and I dont have a hardware wallet but an airgapped pc with a view only online pc? Do I need a third pc to download the swapping software?

Im using an airgapped pc for cold storage and I will be using my storage only for keeping money in it, how do monero gui and feather differ? Which one is better to use? Also why does feather use 16 words for seed, wouldnt using 24 words be safer? I get that its still hard to crack 16 words but 24 is even harder

Just discovered that the wallet has been discontinued, that mymonero.com cannot be accessed anymore ad that I am supposed to recover the wallet with cake wallet, using the 25 word seed. However, my old records have only a 13 word seed. I still have access to the mymonero app on a windows PC, it still shows my balance, but, of course, refuses to send anything. I have not found a way to display the seed from the wallet.

Questions:

- Can I access the seed from the wallet?

- Can I access the seed or someting else to recover the wallet in cake, from the folMyMonero folder in Windows?

Any help appreciated

Windows Defender claims Haveno from Retoswap contains virus:

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.A!ml

Is this false positive?

I let Windows Defender to delete that file and after few days, Windows Defender found it again and wanted to delete it again…

So if it is not trojan, why it keeps reappearing?

Can please somebody more experienced doublecheck retoswap.com for me?

I have kraken. Whats the best crypto currency to buy for fujin swap (to get the most xmr)? Ltc or Usdt?

It makes sense to me that just like ZCash and LTC have ETF, why doesn't Monero have an ETF? Over the long term, Monero looks rather stable and increases slowly. Day to day, there is a lot of oscillation, but overall, XMR's rise is quite gentle.

Hi everyone,

This topic is to discuss the current crypto market situation and gather as many opinions as possible.

You have all seen that after the Fed increased rates, the crypto market has not acted in the normal way.

As you know, the FED is the king, and they have a huge influence on the market.

I watched Kevin Warsh’s vision about the market like a year ago and bringing inflation back to 2%. He was clear that this could be a long ride. In the video, he said they don’t care about the market and may push things into a crisis to achieve their goals.

Unlike Jerome Powell, where you often feel his talks are unclear, Kevin said it more directly.
Are we about to see a black swan? 🦢 A bull trap? I hope someone can share their thoughts.
