1/ Get ready for the #Monerorun tomorrow by reading up and taking control of your $XMR:

localmonero.co/knowledge/hold…

Here are some excellent wallets depending on your preference to start using today 👇
2/ First off, no matter what wallet you use *save your seed*!!!

Always do so in multiple locations, in ways that you can find and recover, and inform your family or loved ones of how to recover funds as well, just in case.
3/ The first wallet recommendation is @cakewallet (or @MoneroCom), both of which are very simple to use and beautiful, work on both Android and iOS, and have native exchange functionality.

I personally use @MoneroCom.

More at cakewallet.com and monero.com:
4/ If you want an amazing desktop wallet, my personal preference is @FeatherWallet.

It has a simple Electrum-like UI, easily works with public remote nodes, and has very advanced features available.

More at featherwallet.org:
5/ Of course the "official" Monero desktop wallet is *excellent* as well, and even will have native #p2pool support soon!

More at getmonero.org/downloads/#gui:
6/ Whatever you do, be sure to save your seed and get ready to get *all* of your Moneroj off exchanges tomorrow.

Now is the time to truly use Monero and see the uniquely powerful tool for freedom it is (when you hold your own keys!).
7/7 Now those of you with Monero on exchange get ready to take back control and force exchanges to be honest about their supply of Monero.

#Monerorun happens *TOMORROW*, April 18th.

While this is "just" the front-end, this continues the trend of "privacy tools" preempting regulatory pressure to kiss the boot of our benevolent overlords.

#Monero cannot do this by design, and that's what makes it such a powerful tool.

Permission-less or GTFO.
P.S. -- "privacy tools" like @wasabiwallet and @TornadoCash using your fees to pay @chainalysis is the irony of ironies.

Quit giving these people your funds and just use Monero.

It's that easy.
Oh god, I missed the @TornadoCash tweet:



"Privacy should not come at the cost of non-compliance"...

Run away from this garbage as fast as you can 🤮

Looking more and more like exchanges are paper trading #Monero and lying about how much they have to customers.

Opt out, get those keys off exchanges and actually own your $XMR:

localmonero.co/knowledge/hold…
To be clear here, there is no reason multiple exchanges would need to maintenance their wallets at the same time.

No network outage, no bugs, nothing.

This is happening with @binance and several others.
Quick clarification thanks to others pointing it out -- I'm not accusing @FixedFloat of anything, but exchanges like them usually rely on liquidity providers like Binance that are currently undergoing "maintenance" that smells of fractional reserves or paper trading.

1/ I have thoroughly been enjoying WBD lately, but the #Monero mentions here are absolutely not based in reality.

That is on @jimmysong and not on @PeterMcCormack, Jimmy misuses his authority in the space and is either intentionally misleading or woefully lacking technicals.
2/ First off, Jimmy mentions that Monero's anon set is small because of large transactions.

Anon sets are not a very useful single way to measure real-world privacy, but if he wants to use that number, let's.
3/ Monero's default anon set *at the lower bound* is 11, compared to the 1 of Bitcoin.

This anon set is really much larger as each decoy/input has a branching tree of possible paths, so none can be deterministically ruled out.

1/ So you're finally startling to wrestle with #Bitcoin's lack of fungibility, but aren't sure what that means for you.

What can you do to protect yourself from becoming another entry in the fungibility graveyard?

A thread on steps you can take below.

2/ The first - and often most important - step is avoiding know-your-customer (KYC) exchanges whenever buying or selling Bitcoin to ensure you don't provide a trivial link between your ID and on-chain transactions:

3/ Be sure you self-custody your funds and use a wallet that gives you full control of your keys and coins.

I recommend @SamouraiWallet (will go into why more in this thread).

When you hold the keys you can limit who can observe your on-chain activity.

1/ This is only the beginning, and it's time you start preparing for the inevitable adversarial environment many of us have been preaching about for years.

This will be much more broad than just cryptocurrency privacy, so here are some resources to get you started 👇

This is one of the strongest use-cases for cryptocurrencies, and specifically, #Monero.

Crowdfunding while retaining the privacy of the donor and recipient is as easy as sharing a static address.

Cut out the middlemen and remove their ability to surveil and censor.t
The speed with which tyranny is spreading, "laws" are changing, and our financial freedom and privacy is being taken with us is absolutely mind-blowing.

Wake up and start opting out *now*.
One of the most important ways we can further enable tools like Monero is to start spending it and working with your favorite merchants.

If we can use Monero *directly*, it becomes a much more powerful tool.

Circular or parallel economies are vital:
