From what I've heard for example Cake wallet is just waiting for Breez SDK to add it then it's a simple matter of including it in the wallet UI. Supposedly it will be soon. Not sure about wallets that use other Spark implementations but I'm guessing it's a similar reason they don't have it yet either.

To keep roughly the same current total hashrate/security (or more) on only intermittent and excess energy? No, it's not so obvious to me why that would be the case. But sure if we make big optimistic assumptions I could see why you would think so (ALL energy producers in the world, no alternative more profitable uses of that energy, high transaction activity on-chain, etc)

2026-07-03 16:07:57 CEST

- reply

You're talking about exceptional days with a lot of traffic though. I'm hardly surprised they were thriving. Kind of my point that miners will need a lot of traffic to make it worth their time once block subsidy fades away. Not once in a blue moon spikes. Where is all that traffic going to come from if it is expected that most users are going to transact off-chain on lightning, ark, ecash, etc in the future?
I need to think more about your last two paragraphs. Not sure if intermittent mining with excess energy would be enough to offset all the other hashrate that would be lost that would no longer feasible.

2026-07-02 10:09:24 CEST

- reply

Well yea isnt' it obvious?... it's working right now even when the mempool is empty because there is still a block subsidy
1. Using drivechains is optional though. People who don't trust it can completely ignore it. They never have to expose any of their funds to it and can continue using on-chain, lightning, ark, ecash, etc. Bit of irony considering the last three have a lot more trust assumptions than drivechains, but people are still okay with them.
2. You won't literally have to wait 3 months to get your coins if you don't want to. You can swap with other users on-chain or use services like Boltz that there will surely be a market for like every other coin. I think there is even a drivechain for decentralized exchanges already.
3. Honestly, I don't really have a strong opinion on this. It's kind of already shitcoinified isn't that the whole contention with BIP110 vs Core right now? At least with drivechains the incentives push people to do that off the L1. Most people already associate Bitcoin with crypto in general and use them interchangeably.
4. True
I don't think drivechains will likely happen either.

2026-06-30 12:33:25 CEST

- reply

It is kind of parasitic in that way too since transactions happening on lightning don't pay miners transaction fees to secure the blockchain. If most transactions are supposed to happen on lightning in the future, and block subsidy is going away, who is going to pay miners?
Lightning works for now, but a Drivechain future seems more symbiotic and sustainable.

My point was you also seek privacy in the coinjoins and no-kyc ways you get Bitcoin. But I wouldn't say youre just a hiding rat by doing that. I would say it's smart of you to do when your adversary is powerful and isn't going to play fair anyway. The same way firearms give someone an asymmetric advantage against someone physically stronger.

2026-06-19 08:27:43 CEST

- reply

I don't even necessarily disagree with everything you're saying, but if the privacy Monero provides is like "rats hiding under the floorboards" and "Bitcoin is for people who are fed up with hiding and want to overthrow the system." then why are you talking about no-KYC and coinjoins (means to achieve more privacy)?
Why is the Bitcoin community always seeking methods for increasing privacy whether that is lightning, ecash, liquid, etc?
Your argument would be stronger if you just admit privacy is essential (even if you don't agree with it being at the base layer)

This is so you don't link different identities and activities together that you may not want connected. If you use the same address everywhere it's pretty obvious that you're the same person.
But for payment targets on your public profile it doesn't matter

2026-06-13 15:25:31 CEST

- reply

Yes to the first question. And basically yes to the second question.
For every Monero payment made to you a different address is seen on-chain that is unlinkable to your "real" address. So in that way it "rotates addresses" if that makes sense.
Similar to Bitcoin silent payments (the silent payment address is never seen on-chain) but built into the actual protocol instead of wallet level.

I also think, just say we concede for the sake of argument that a fixed supply would be better in theory, tail emission has a much stronger argument for cryptocurrency since mining is *required* to secure everyones coins and ability to transact. Without the incentive to mine none of it works.
Contrasted to the physical world where current owners of gold and ability to transact would be unaffected if gold miners just stopped mining.

>"An item being "one-of-a-kind" (scarce) does not inherently make it valuable if it lacks utility or liquidity..."
Ok. You seem to already understand that comparing the supply of the two alone doesn't necessarily make something valuable because it completely ignores the other factor of value: demand. You can't control demand. Value is subjective.
>"Also, there is a difference between coerced utility (the USD, which you are forced to use for taxes) and voluntary utility (Bitcoin)..."
Not sure where the disagreement is then.
Bitcoin/Monero/gold mining requires work, is open to anyone, and acceptance is voluntary. Sound money.
Fiat inflation requires no work, closed to a centralized group, and acceptance is based on coercion. Not sound money.
>"Sound Money is not solely about having a fixed supply; it is about having a supply that cannot be manipulated by central authorities or protocol....
>"Tail emissions (as found in Monero) introduce a perpetual dilution of the supply introduce a perpetual dilution of the supply, which (regardless of the technical rationale) is a deviation from the absolute scarcity that is a necessary prerequisite for a "hard" asset that can compete with the USD long-term..."
Immediately go on to contradict your first sentence with the second one 😂
You mean a hard asset like gold? The thing with perpetual dilution of supply that has a larger mcap and network effect than Bitcoin? Money for thousands of years?

Scarcity fallacy. Something can have a fixed supply but have less demand than something with continuous supply i.e. one of a kind artwork that no one wants for VS gold with constant inflation.
If you think network effects and merchant acceptance win idk why you're a Bitcoiner. USD blows it out of the water. And way more people are storing value in gold so it doesn't win there either.

How do you go about hooking up someone with a Monero address? How would that even work? You expect someone to create a wallet for you and hand you the private key? If you're too lazy to even download a wallet and create an address to put on your profile (exactly what you did with your lightning wallet so I know you can do it) idk what to tell you. Seems like you don't care about being tipped with Monero that much.
If users like what you have to say people will tip you but there is no obligation. The entitled attitude you give off doesn't help either.

Last time I checked that wasn't true, but maybe that changed. Even so, I'm pretty sure Spark Operators can see everything. My main point was that Spark requires greater trust than lightning and on-chain. Just letting you know if you didn't.

Spark has greater trust assumptions than on-chain and even lightning FYI. Probably good enough for 21 sat zaps though lmao. Also, current privacy is as bad as on-chain the public can look up transactions (with the exception of maybe cake wallets implementation)

KYC isn't about what happens to the coins afterwards. It's about a list showing you bought X amount of coins on Y date being tied to your real identity that governments and criminals will know (this info will leak eventually it always does - just search all crypto exchange data breaches for this year alone). You can't "unKYC" by coinjoining or swapping to Monero. Does nothing to erase that list.
Goodluck convincing the state and criminals that "there is no way to prove that I control those sats anymore". Doesn't matter if it's true or not. They aren't going to believe you. You're guilty until proven innocent. You're now a target.

There shouldn't be such thing as bad coins. But since Bitcoin lacks privacy there is a technical opening left for others to degrade it's fungibility.
"You don't ask nicely that everyone else not spend your coins; You just protect them using a cryptographic key.
Similarly, you don't ask nicely everyone else not distinguish your monetary units; You just make them technically indistinguishable AKA fungible."

2026-03-28 11:48:07 CET

- reply

The OPs original topic was fungibility meaning any given coin is indistiguishable from another. With Bitcoin you can split into "clean" and "tainted" coins. With Monero either *all coins are clean* or *all coins are tainted*. You can't pick and choose like Bitcoin.

Monero is scarce. Scarce just means there is more demand than supply. Do you mean it doesn't have a fixed supply?
Gold has constant inflation, was used as money, and has held it's value for thousands of years. Total gold supply is also not directly auditable by anyone. I think Monero will be ok.

Yea admittedly the UX for this stuff isn't quite there yet if you're used to exchanges. Trocador might be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to use among these, but you're trusting a single swap provider not to freeze your funds during the swap (although they rate the chance of that happening for each swap provider). Eigen is probably the most trustless method followed by bisq/retoswap/robosats (because it's a multisig so you're relying on cooperation from arbitrators if something happens). Never had a problem with any of them myself though.
Here is the latest news about Thorchain adding XMR from a few days ago. Basically they're hoping to get it out sometime in 2026 but it's privacy properties and multisig makes it a little more complicated than other blockchains to implement:

-Bisq (BTC to XMR. Simple enough but you migh have to wait for someone to take your offer if you don't like any of the current rates)
-Retoswap (Crypto to XMR. Same as above)
-Robosats (Lightning to XMR. Same as above)
-EigenWallet (BTC atomic swaps. Simple to use. Fees aren't the cheapest, but also not crazy either)
All are no KYC.
Thorchain and SeraiDEX are also on the horizon for easy to use crypto to XMR swaps just something to keep in mind for the future.

Better at what?
Both have confidential txs. Monero adds one time stealth addresses and ring signatures in addition to obscure the transaction graph (Liquid doesn't). Monero wins that hands down and soon to have full chain membership proofs to completely hide it. I don't think Liquid even has plans to improve privacy afaik.
Liquid daily transactions are significantly less so it's anonymity set is much smaller.
Liquid has no p2p market presence. Not really used anywhere.
Both have low fees.
Liquid requires permission from a federation to peg out.
All Liquid really has going is it's value peg to Bitcoin if you held for the long term (several years). But if I'm only holding and not using why not just hold actual Bitcoin? Short to medium term performance of Monero vs Bitcoin has been a toss up.

Spark still has certain issues around it the most obvious one being privacy. I'm hoping that will improve over time. It will always have different trade-offs to Monero because of it's architecture, but the trust assumptions seem an improvement over fully custodial Lightning without sacrificing UX
Technically Spark is a statechain, not Lightning, but that's abstracted away so that it feels indistinguishable. Been playing around with it and interacting with Lightning through Spark is actually pretty damn smooth so far ngl

Is there any reason for the XMR step? Seems unnecessary if you're not starting off with it.
Swap BTC on-chain to LN with Trocador, Robosats, or Boltz.
Or go fiat to LN directly with Robosats.

monstr can be installed on your phone as a web app, but other than that none that I know of. Garnet was the first actual app but the original dev abandoned it a long time ago
I think I've seen the Bitcoin Cash one you're speaking of seemed interesting

Privacy, low fees + straightforward to use in a sovereign way VS Lightning

Thanks for the info Soul
Do you know if these extra fees go to Spark even if you're using Cake Wallets implementation? If not, does Cake charge?
Still, I could see how the fees and trust assumptions might be worth it for some users to avoid certain UX aspects of using Lightning directly when they're forced to use it.
I've seen others like @npub1g0a…gqpz mention how the Spark entity can collude with a user to steal from another. The privacy also doesnt seem very great atm. Though to be fair it seems better than on-chain Bitcoin or default Spark where your transactions are fully public.
Either way I wasn't making any recommendation with this just presenting a new development and people can delve further into the details themselves

Sim, o meme é estúpido. Embora eu não considere o Monero particularmente caro para usar, ele pode custar menos de um centavo. E Dash PrivateSend é apenas um coinjoin glorificado.
Use qualquer ferramenta que atenda ao seu objetivo ou às demandas de uma situação específica. Se a privacidade for uma prioridade, use Monero. Se isso não importa, use Dash.

Calling Bitcoin a pedo coin is stupid.
But it does seem to me he was *trying* to gather intel and exert what influence he could (like any other thing he was involved in)

What about Bisq?
Only options in link below afaik. If you can't find anyone selling for your payment method make your own offer and wait for someone to take it (hours to days)
You can also look for a crypto ATM near you with no/minimal verification (burner email/voip number) and pay with cash, but you'll probably get killed in fees

iirc Seth mentioned in an ungovernable misfits podcast a few months ago that they were going to improve the privacy for their Spark implementation over time. But you're right. Currently Spark privacy is pretty damn bad from what I understand and any improvements seem quite modest over custodial. Not sure why they didn't just wait until they had some privacy improvements to release it.

If you value lower fees over quicker trades, I don't think there is really any other way besides making an offer and waiting. Seems like an inevitable trade-off. I don't mind waiting days for someone to take a trade but that's just me. Hopefully Serai and Thorchain will bring more liquidity and cheaper fees should follow.
