Can't lose your Bitcoin in a boating accident, because even if you do, the second you move it, again, it's known that you have it, and the government will come after you. So therefore, it's totally useless.

One thing I do not see on Android is a good Nomadnet browser. So if anybody knows one, LMK. #Reticulum

2026-03-02 22:09:45 CET

Man, a good UI can make a world of difference. I am playing with #Reticulum again and discovered an #Android app called Columba https://github.com/torlando-tech/columba which is an LXMF app like Sideband but actually looks like it was designed to work properly on mobile and seems to abstract a lot of the technical stuff away properly while still giving access to it if needed.

I highly doubt this is going to be the 0.5 Monero Moto G line and probably be more like a 2 Monero device. That's fine of course, but having extremely cheap privacy devices that work well enough for most users would be amazing as well. Hell, the Moto G2024 has better Geekbench scores than my current phone does, and it was released in 2021, and it has double the storage, and I came across it because I was looking at what devices from Motorola have support for Lineage OS.

This is exactly why when I have to convert my Monero stack into fiat terms, I use the one-year simple moving average instead of the current market price. Sure, it can absolutely go below that point, but it doesn't stay there very long. As time goes on, I fully intend to use longer and longer moving averages with the goal of eventually getting to where I use the four-year simple moving average instead of the one year.

depends on the scenario and what's more popular in your area. For example, around here we already have a meshtastic repeater up and running, so it works out well, but meshcore has no infrastructure in the area, so it only works directly, peer to peer. Since companions do not repeat, this would make it a worse use case than meshtastic.

I still unfortunately have some fiat bills, so when I get my fiat paycheck, I keep enough around to pay those, and then convert the rest of it into Monero. And as I said, I pay as many of my bills as I possibly can in Monero. Although, that's not many. Mainly my food and my cell phone bill, and my email service, and search engine.
Things I haven't figured out a good way of doing are anything that requires some sort of ACH transaction. Such as credit card bills, car payments, mortgage payments, etc. If you have to give a debit or credit card, it's easy enough to handle with Monero. But if you have to give a bank routing number and account number, then it becomes difficult.

A somewhat practical guide to living on a hard money standard in a debasing fiat world.
Firstly, let me say, I do not know how long this will end up being. It could be very short, or it could be an entire essay. We shall see.
1. The "why?"
2. Choosing a hard money Unit of Account (UoA)
3. Stability out of instability
4. Shifting your mindset
5. Practical advice and how I do it
1. The "why?": All governments debase fiat currency. This is a fact. You work day after day, hour after hour, and you feel like you can never get ahead. You see your friends turning to socialist and communist policies such as rent control and public takeover of private property. You believe in the idea that what you work for is rightfully yours, and therefore you are labeled selfish. I disagree, and you are not alone.
This is an admittedly incomplete guide as to how I do my best to live my life on #Monero, but these concepts can be applied to other things such as #Bitcoin. I've explained bits and pieces of this before on podcasts and in ephemeral chats that disappear over time, but I figure I should actually write them down in a slightly more permanent way, so here it is, filtered by at least some forethought, though admittedly not much.
2. Choosing a hard money Unit of Account (UoA): This is a personal choice, but from what I can tell, the best contenders are #Monero, #Bitcoin, and #Gold.
Monero prides itself and strives to be peer-to-peer, uncensorable, private digital cash. The Monero community believe fiercely that the right to privacy in your financial dealings is a fundamental human right. An outsider is unable to tell who sent a Monero transaction, who received that Monero transaction, or how much that Monero transaction was for. The only people who have the right to know that information according to the Monero community are the sender and the receiver. The Monero community is openly defiant of state power and control and believe Monero is a tool like any other that can cause great harm or great good depending on the human behind the input device.
Bitcoin these days is commonly referred to as "digital gold". It was the very first cryptocurrency, and we all owe a great debt of gratitude to Satoshi Nakamoto for what he/she/they accomplished. Bitcoin was released as a scathing response to the 2008 great financial crisis. Satoshi embedded a now famous headline into the Genesis block of the network, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”. What an absolute legend.
Gold has been hard money for thousands of years, retaining its purchasing power, and was only dealt a final killing blow in 1971 when then US President Richard Nixon declared "I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, except in amounts and conditions determined to be in the interest of monetary stability and in the best interests of the United States.". In case you haven't been keeping count, this temporary government program has been in effect for 55 years, showing that there really is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.
As mentioned above, I have chosen Monero to fill this role in my life.
3. Stability out of instability: I will be the first one to admit, living on a hard money standard when everybody else is living on a flexible fiat standard is hard work. If you are not prepared for hard work, stop reading now and go do something else. Depending on the recklessness of your government, this could be literal years of hard work.
If you look at a price chart on any trading service, what you will find is that the prices of Monero, Bitcoin, and Gold can fluctuate wildly, or at least they look like they do. More on that later. The way I have found to combat this problem is by using a simple moving average of the prices instead of the day-to-day fluctuation in the market prices. You have a choice to make. How comfortable are you with instability? If you choose a shorter term moving average, you will be closer to the current market price at any given time, but your net worth will also experience more fluctuation when measured in your failing fiat currency. Choosing a longer-term moving average will keep your net worth more stable when measured in your failing fiat currency at the expense of most of the time underestimating your actual net worth, sometimes by quite a bit.
4. Shifting your mindset: Here's where things get tough. You have to abandon accounting your net worth in the fiat currency that you've used all your life. And that is hard. You have to put yourself in a headspace something like "my fiat currency is worthless, and I want nothing to do with it, if at all possible." you have to take the simple moving average you decided on above and start mentally pricing items from your fiat currency into the hard money you've chosen to use. as an example, instead of "my internet bill is 50 US dollars per month" your thought will need to become "my internet bill is 144 millinero (0.144 Monero) per month". This is where that moving average from earlier comes in. The market price of the hard money can fluctuate wildly in your failing fiat currency and you need to be able to price items you see directly in your new hard money without having to break out a calculator for everything. You don't have to get the pricing perfect by any means, but eventually you should be able to look at a price in your local fiat currency and have a decent idea of exactly what that item would cost in your hard money unit of account. Since your fiat currency is failing against the hard money unit of account you've chosen, what you'll often find is that you can get items at a "discount" from what you would have expected to pay by using the simple moving average. As an example, as of writing, I would expect to pay ~86 millinero for 2 two topping pizzas delivered to my home, but as of now, I would actually pay ~51.7 millinero instead. That is a "discount' from what I would have anticipated to be paying as determined by the simple moving average. However, the opposite can sometimes be the case and you might end up having to pay a "premium" above what you would have expected based on the simple moving average. This happens when your hard money unit of account is being undervalued as compared to the simple moving average in your failing fiat currency and is generally short-lived since your fiat currency is failing. during this "premium" it is best to delay non-essential consumption, if at all possible, until this reverts to normal. You should of course be fiat cost averaging into your hard money currency at all times from your failing currency, but at these times it is best to put any extra you might be able to get ahold of in quickly because you will obtain more units of the hard money and therefore be more wealthy later on down the road.
5. Practical advice and how I do it:
5A: Consume Media: Find podcasts, books, music, etc. to listen to about your chosen unit of account or similar hard monies. The Monero community, the Bitcoin community, and the Gold community have their differences, but deep down we are all striving for the same thing. We want to live in a world where our work is valued in a currency that cannot be debased by other human beings. Therefore, it's fine to listen to content from the other camps. Because the general rules apply even if specifics may not.
I've chosen Monero personally, but I still listen to Bitcoin podcasts and read Bitcoin books because while they may be about Bitcoin, so much of what they have to say is completely applicable to Monero. I also listen to podcasts about gold and silver for that exact same reason.
5B: Redenominate your life: Denominate your life as much as possible in the unit of account you've chosen and encourage others of similar viewpoints to do the same. If you can do so, find companies who take your currency for bill payments and start using them (example: Cloaked Wireless accepts both Monero and Bitcoin for cellphone bills)
For me #XMRBazaar has been fantastic. They have tons of items directly priced in Monero, where I don't have to concern myself with converting from Fiat.
5C: Determine your CAGR (compound annual growth rate): You are using the simple moving average to calculate your net worth, which is going to most of the time be below your actual net worth, and your fiat currency is failing against the hard money you've chosen. This means if you spent nothing from your hard money stack that your net worth in your local fiat currency would actually continue to grow. You could also treat this as a "dividend" and spend that much fiat in the full knowledge that as long as you spend less than that amount, the fiat value of your stack would stay the exact same or possibly grow. Here's a quick example for illustration purposes: monero's 6 month simple moving average is $352 US Dollars and the CAGR is 15%. So 15% divided by 12 months is 15/12 = 1.25%/month. If your hard money stack was worth 1,000 US dollars your "dividend" would be 1000*0.0125 = $12.50 US Dollars/month. If you spent nothing, your hard money would now be worth $1,012.50 or if you wished you could spend that $12.50 on something and your hard money stack would still be worth $1,000 US Dollars. Your stack of hard money would decrease slightly, but the fiat value of that stack would stay the exact same.
5D: Live the gift card life: You will not be able to find everything you want priced directly in your hard money of choice. Deal with it. Therefore, you will need to find merchants who are willing to accept the hard money you have chosen for gift cards denominated in your local currency in order to get some of the things you need. Here in the US, I am able to spend Monero to buy an Instacart gift card, for example, and then buy my groceries using that, so I have paid for my groceries using Monero indirectly.
After all is said and done, what you will find is that your life as denominated in the hard money currency you've chosen will get easier over time. In 2023 I was having to pay 1.2 Monero per month for my groceries and today that has fallen to 0.511 or -57.4% in 3 years. And that's against the US dollar, which is supposedly a stable currency. I can't imagine what it would be like for something like the Argentinian peso or Mexican peso. If the US dollar really is the cleanest dirty shirt, then that's still an extremely dirty shirt.

It appears we may be getting a new role in #Meshtastic called CLIENT_BASE. It acts as a ROUTER for favorited nodes such as your personal T-Decks, T1000-E, MeshPocket, etc but acts as a standard CLIENT otherwise.
You would put the CLIENT_BASE node in your attic, on your flagpole, or on your roof and set your personal nodes as favorites. That way a weak 3rd party CLIENT with low SNR does not take priority over your much better positioned high node.
The OP in this github issue had a node on his house that wasn't getting utilized because another client in somebody else's house farther away was getting the signal weaker and rebroadcasting it first.

In the new bitchat you can filter out low effort spam with proof of work. Right now, though, sending messages is somewhat broken. The message sends properly, but it never shows you that it's sent because it keeps doing the hashing like it's mining the proof of work when it's already finished and has sent the message.
I am hoping an update will come out soon that will fix that problem and then the proof of work will be perfect.
It already works right now though as a spam filter if you wish to use it with version 1.2.3

For two devices communicating at ground level, you can expect a half mile to about a mile.
If you can get connected to a router, though, at some height, you can get a seriously good distance.
There's a guy in my local area who's 17 miles away who had his node 30 feet up on a pole and was communicating with our router 200 feet up on a tower from 17 and a half miles away.
I think the farthest achieved distance is over 300 km, mountain top to mountain top.
As far as bitrate goes, the default long fast is like 1.9 kbps and I think the short fast is like 10 kbps. There's a faster setting called Short Turbo, that's like 20K BPS, but it's not available in all regions due to legal restrictions, so I don't count it.

2025-08-28 21:59:01 CEST

It does help bandspace availability. If you were on AM, it would be using both the upper and the lower side bands, so you'd only be able to do one thing at a time where, by using both upper and lower for separate things, two people could be on the same frequency and be using it for two different purposes without interfering with each other.
Mind you, the receiver has to be very accurate about being able to measure the side bands, otherwise you could have bleed over. I'm assuming the old tube radios would have problems with it versus today's crystal oscillators and such.

So the routing algorithm works like this. There's something called the contention window. And the very first part is for routers and repeaters. And they will always broadcast anything they hear no matter what.
The second part of the contention window is reserved for clients to rebroadcast any transmission that they only heard one time and the farthest away node by signal strength is the one that rebroadcasts it.
The third part of the contention window is used by what are called router late nodes, which are meant to fill in coverage gaps. They will always rebroadcast whatever they hear, but they will only do so after all routers have already broadcasted, and after all clients have already broadcasted, if needed.
By using router mode at low elevation you cause something called hop gobbling where the router will broadcast the message and not end up letting it broadcast to a node that would be better positioned to broadcast it farther.
100 feet isn't a hard and fast rule, but it's a good general idea because the higher the node is, the better it would work as a router.
A node that is, say, 50 feet on a tower on top of a mountain would be a great router, even though it's only 50 feet above the ground. It's way above the valleys around the mountain, so it would work fine.
If you live in a flat land, the absolute highest towers would be the best place for routers.
Generally, if you have access to such a high spot, you will probably want to coordinate with other local mesh users in order to optimize the placement of your nodes.
Also, since routers broadcast as soon as they hear a message, a badly placed router can actually decrease the distance a message can travel across the mesh and therefore hurts everybody.

I think this may be badly worded because I had trouble understanding the scam myself. It seemed to me as though the Bitcoin seller got a MacBook, the Bitcoin buyer got Bitcoin, and the MacBook seller got Fiat, which I see as no different from a third-party proxy shopper service.
I also see several comments below saying that they had trouble understanding it as well.
The only thing I could see as a possibility here is that the Bitcoin seller on Robosats, aka the scammer, makes a dispute saying that they never got the fiat because the buyer sent it to the MacBook seller and not them, which is the point of the scam.
If arbitration is used on Robosats and the Bitcoin seller has to lock up their Bitcoin in the trade process, and the arbitration sees that the seller told the buyer to use a different account, then it seems obvious what's going on and the dispute would resolve in favor of btc buyer. scammer loses their Bitcoin Bitcoin buyer gets the Bitcoin, scammer gets a macbook, macbook seller gets fiat for macbook.

You can't lose Bitcoin in a boating accident.
Once it's tied to your identity, you are fucked forever. If you send it through a mixer, and then use it to pay somebody, and they do something wrong with it, and you are the only KYC person in that chain, you are going to be the one who gets the hammer.
If you say you lost your Bitcoin in a voting accident, and then they see it move, they know that you lied, because you are the only one who could have moved it, and they can see that you moved it on chain.

Well by then we better have the circular economy going where you get paid for your work directly in Monero and pay your bills directly in Monero.

An entity has made an UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT to 51% attack #Monero. You can help by mining with gupaxx on whatever hardware you have and its super easy. Monero cares for your privacy, please step up to defend it in its time of need.
Many state actors especially would love to see the death of Monero, and it would be a serious blow to the average person.
This cannot be allowed.

The saga continues. I received it earlier today for like five minutes, and then it went away again for a long time, and then I just received it again, and it has now gone away again. But I can sometimes receive packets from it, but I can't get a message to ack on LonfFast.
Why it would just come back after being down for six days is beyond me.

If you go on a plane with it, make sure to set it into client mute mode. That way you are not connecting people on the ground from hundreds of miles away that won't be able to see each other once your flight leaves the area.
My general rule of thumb is that if your node is less than 20 feet above the ground, you should be using client mute. If it is between 20 and 100 feet above the ground, you should be using client. And if it is 100 or more feet above the ground, you can likely use router mode.

I was going to use bitchat-tui on my linux monero node and have it always on as a service... But that failed. It only scans for a limited amount of time, so the only time you can see that it exists is when it's scanning, and I could not exchange messages back and forth between my phone and the computer, because apparently the noise protocol isn't working on the tui yet, so it couldn't do the encryption.

Building the decentralized internet. One message at a time.
While something like #meshtastic is very limited in bandwidth, you could imagine once more people get nodes and they are closer together, you could use higher speed links with less noise tolerance to get much higher speeds and do very interesting things with them.
If I'm doing my math roughly correctly, you should be able to get 25 KB/s through that link at max.

That's exactly what I want to see.
For example, every time I see somebody post a price in Fiat on XMR Bazaar, I message them and ask them if they can price their item directly in Monero.
The more people who use Monero as a unit of account directly, the less often the fiat price must be referenced, which gives the exchange traders less power over price movement.

I'd say good on them, except the fact that they want it to be worth millions. Millions of what? Fiat shitnotes? They've clearly got the wrong measuring stick. Instead of measuring purchasing power, they want to measure their wealth in fiat shit notes, which is not helpful. They completely missed the point of freedom tech.

Also, I probably wasted my time even filing the bug report. Because I don't use Bitcoin.
"Bounty (in Bitcoin sats) offered for a solution
The size of the bounty is proportional to how much this matters to you. If no bounty is offered,
not even a small one, this bug will not be worked on because it doesn't matter to you. We prioritize
