Hi every one

Let's temporarily patch the nodes asap to select mixins from before 2019, and 50% from the last 1.8 days

That will prevent ciphertrace from tracking wallets that have updated

That is the only way to trace monero

Can you post the substantiation for these claims somewhere other than Reddit? I.e. in a gist or something?

I'll take that as a "no"

these clowns really think they can just traipse in here with wild unsubstantiated claims and get anyone to listen?

We’re certainly not going to just change the decoy selection on random claims

There was no substantiation in the post

But maybe there’s something behind it that can be brought to light.

OP basically claimed that any growth (from 2019 onwards) was caused by CT

Ergo, CT made the majority of the transactions

Ah, ok, then I repeat my claim to devhelp

Post some substantiation 🙂

The April 2019 bump was due to Minko.

Obviously not solely because of it but it launched during that time.

And the recent steady increase can easily be attributed to growing DNM adoption.

a steady increase in acquisition should have a steady increase in price, no?

if only the crypto market was rational

Not if it’s DNM adoption, as most there aren’t holding onto Monero but merely using it as a medium or exchange and quickly swapping back to Bitcoin/fiat

I agree it should affect price, but this might lags behind, and only be few % of signal among a giant noise of speculation/hype/searching for the latest fad etc

for usage to increase and price to remain flat would require 100% of exchanged XMR to be immediately resold again

I would argue most is, but not all, thus the steady rise from 0.0065-0.008 in that time

But hard to quantify

indeed

I can say with 100% certainty it is impossible that an entity has "poisoned" the chain with 10k tx per day in May 2019.

<binaryFate "I can say with 100% certainty it"> How so with 100% certainty? I agree on the overall point but curious how you can be that sure

market prices typically don't have any reasonable relationships

cause minko

ah, you know minko's txn volume back then, right?

Ah true heh

yeah I won't give any number but I know for sure that guy claim is impossible lol

Good to know 🙂

also obvious if you look at tx charts

not by a long shot

I mean this is impossible by a very large margin

I never saw how post so wasn’t sure the content.

But thanks for chiming in with details!

the post had quite bad advice

Discussing that reddit post is a waste of dev time.

pathetic

advising people to recompile and change the fake output distribution is dangerous advice

that's ok, both steps are beyond the abilities of the majority of reddit readers

10k transactions would cost ~0.25 XMR in fees, not that much. I don't think anyone is actually doing it on mainnet though.

yeah it's really bad advice

makes you stick out like a sore thumb
