Ok so summary thread of @brucewagner's total failure of an attempt to "expose" a Monero transaction. Let's dig in!

LaTeX / scientific writing pro tip: Use semantic linefeeds (rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/…), i.e., "one sentence per line." That makes it much easier to work with diffs, find sentences you would like to change, reorganize paragraphs, or restructure sentences (e.g., this enumeration).

It's better to have more money than you need than need more than you have? What an amazing insight. Glad this MIT aerospace engineer could let us all know that's how the world works. How does this have 21k likes?
It's better to have a #bitcoin and not need it than need a bitcoin and not have it.

Thanks @tari for the secure snacks, notes, and connections. I'll keep testing things out! Everyone: If you don't already know, you can get free stuff for helping test the Tari (future #monero mimblewimble sidechain) testnet. Check tari.com.

Was playing around with @tari testnet today. Tari Aurora mobile wallet is quick and easy, desktop node/wallet/mining coming along too. Looking forward to how this project progresses! #monero

If you intentionally destroy a large gift that you received, do you still owe taxes on it? And if your gift had risen in value, are you realizing gains? Asking for a friend... coindesk.com/vitalik-buterin…

Nobody has ever tried this before, this time it will definitely work.

Ideally, Doge speeds up block time 10X, increases block size 10X & drops fee 100X. Then it wins hands down.

A couple years back, I ended my podcast to focus on my research and other interests. If you're curious what I've been up to, you can read about some of my work in grad school and NASA here! Also, I can't begin to say how thankful I am for the support I received from you all! 🙏

The terminal velocity (fastest speed reached during free fall) of an ant is 4 MPH, so they can fall from any height and survive. You are not an ant and have a terminal velocity of 120 MPH, so don’t get any ideas.

No Brian, that doesn't make sense. Stick to decentralized, permissionless, open source, peer-to-peer ledgers. techcrunch.com/2018/09/07/co…

OK, folks, I hear that John McAfee claims to have invented cyber security. (I don't know; he has blocked me.) Gather 'round the fire, kids, for a short story, because I was around at the time.

An important defense of cash and private financial transactions, & a sober prognosis for public institutional capacity to promote privacy in payments. Underscores the importance of projects like Zcash, Monero, Grin, Mobilecoin, and others.
The Federal Reserve of St. Louis has published an excellent paper on payment systems and privacy. coincenter.org/link/the-fede…

A Chrome extension to spot suspicious ICOs... hmm. Here's a clue: if it's an ICO, it's suspicious. No extension needed. newsbtc.com/2018/08/23/new-g…

Really enjoyed listening to @JEhrenhofer (MM Ep. 6) and @derose (MM Ep. 8) discuss lots of elements of the Monero community. If you missed the discussion a couple weeks ago, give it a listen now! youtube.com/watch?v=R9ib27l3…

If an ICO can raise X million dollars on an unworkable idea, how much can one raise explaining why the idea is unworkable? @derose @fluffypony
