Verifying the Supply | MONERO MONTHLY 02
Verifiability of Supply
- https://sethforprivacy.com/posts/dispelling-monero-fud/#you-cant-audit-the-monero-supply
- https://www.moneroinflation.com
This is probably the most common point of FUD brought against Monero, and is caused by the complexity and nuance involved in understanding how supply audits work in cryptocurrencies.

Monero’s supply can be easily audited by anyone running a Monero node, but this process does rely on the soundness of the monerod software implementation and the validity of cryptography used in range-proofs. These range-proofs allow it to be mathematically proven that the inputs and outputs of each transaction add up to zero without revealing amounts, ensuring that the supply is sound and not inflated in any way. Every node on the network is validating these range-proofs in each transaction every time a transaction is first seen, and validating all historical range-proofs when initially syncing.

A manual audit is possible because coinbase transactions (those transactions that are mining rewards in each block including issuance + transaction fees) are intentionally transparent and amounts of these outputs are not obfuscated in any way. Monero users running a node can simply validate these totals on-demand, and all node owners are constantly verifying the amounts in transactions via range-proofs.

Unlike Bitcoin, however, Monero users cannot simply do “napkin math” and validate the supply by manually adding up UTXO amounts, as transactions are never known-spent by the network, only by the parties involved in each specific transaction. This does force some added reliance on code/cryptography over Bitcoin, but as-of-yet I know of no onevalidating the Bitcoin supply this way. It does remain a valuable advantage of a transparent cryptocurrency, though it comes at the cost of the transactional privacy of every user in the system.

- You just leveled up 🤜💥🤛 Seth mentioned on MM01 that you can mine Monero on a laptop. Could you walk us through the process? What to download (ideally a GUI for those who don’t know CLI), best practices, guides, etc? Google results are 💩 Cheers 🙏
- What are some good resources for explaining about Supply auditability And how Peterson commitments work? Tell Vik we need some sexy educational material
- What is the highest transactions per second Monero has seen so far? And what is it capable of today?
- @Seth: Followed your Docker guide setting up an XMR node. Works like a charm on my "mini pc". Yet every wallet I connect has issues, Monerujo stops working on connect, Stack Duo syncs but quits connecting after a while. Is Tor the issue, how to debug?

Don't Forget The Struggle, Don't Forget The Streets | PMM 10
In this episode of PMM, hosts Jon and Max discuss Jon and Bassload's upcoming energy Q+A at Pubkey in New York.

They DELVE into the Meshtadel Super Nodes: Ben Gunn's forestry and manufacturing ventures in the UK, and Untapped Growth's cattle ranching in Oklahoma, both seen as fostering community and self-sufficiency. The discussion touches on the challenges of finding reliable human capital for these initiatives, drawing parallels to the flaky nature of modern society.

The episode also includes a philosophical musing from Bubba on simplicity versus complexity in intelligence. Jon shares his written piece on preserving punk culture through modern means, advocating for self-reliance, community building, and maintaining punk's rebellious spirit in today's context.

They talk about maintaining emotional capital amidst the struggles of community building, the importance of not selling out, and encourage listeners to engage in activities like homesteading, learning new skills, and contributing to local communities as a new form of punk resistance. The episode concludes with an invitation to Lake Satoshi and a call to stay true to the punk ethos within the Ungovernable Misfits' community.

Building with Bitcoin, Unimogs and Ubermongs | The Confab 13: Ben Gunn
In this episode of The Confab, I reconnect with my eccentric yet brilliant friend, Ben Gunn. We dive into a catch-up session, reflecting on our last podcast and the whirlwind of events that have unfolded since. Ben, known for his unique perspective and relentless drive, shares updates on his ambitious projects and the exciting developments at his new site.

We explore the potential of creating a hub for like-minded individuals, particularly Bitcoiners, who are looking for a space to innovate, collaborate, and build. Ben's vision of a multi-use site that caters to various projects, from co-working spaces to fabrication workshops, is both inspiring and practical. We discuss the importance of having a physical location where creativity and collaboration can thrive, away from the noise of the world.

Throughout the episode, we touch on the challenges and triumphs of building something meaningful in today's world. We also delve into the importance of community, trust, and shared resources in creating a sustainable and innovative environment. Ben's passion for his work and his commitment to fostering a supportive community is evident, and it's clear that exciting times are ahead for Ungovernable Misfits and its listeners.

Join us as we break the ice, both literally and metaphorically, and explore the possibilities of what can be achieved when driven individuals come together with a shared purpose. Whether you're in the UK or beyond, this episode is sure to spark ideas and inspire action.

Merry Christmas Misfits Pt. 2 | 2024 Year in Review
In part 2 of the 2024 Year In Review, we check into the ever-changing landscape of Bitcoin mining statistics. Over the past year, the hash value has seen a significant drop, impacting miners' earnings. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in the mining industry, including the timing of buying mining gear and the innovative projects undertaken by the community, such as solar mining builds, Solo Sundays and yes.. shitaxes.

It was the first year of a show dedicated to Meshtadel meanderings titled PMM, which stands for whatever you want it to stand for. Pastuerized Milk is Malnutrition, Pleb Made Mechandise, Personal Meshtadel Meetings...the list goes on. Anyways, it was a great year for PMM, exploring many broad topics and creating a show that adds to the pulse of a cicrular economy. In 2025, we hope to add to that pulse.

Lastly, we go over our specials that ended 2024 breaking down the Ashigaru episode and it's significance. Also, Foundation has a new device. Not sure if you knew! So check that out.

It's been a wild ride of a year and we hope to keep the pace up for you guys in 2025. A lot of big things on the way and we hope you'll continue to support this grassroots initiative as much as you can.

A Christmas Brief | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 47
The Bitcoin Brief is a show hosted by Max and Bitcoin QnA. We cover important updates in the world of bitcoin and open source software. It is our imperative to provide some education along the way too, so that the misfits can expand their knowledge base and become more sovereign as a result.

We do this every second week to keep our listeners informed without having to dedicate hours every day to keep on top of developments. We break things down in a simple and fun way and we welcome questions or topic suggestions via Podcasting 2.0 boosts.

SHOW DETAILS

We discuss the recent events in New York, including a multisig workshop and a Bitcoin trivia night, highlighting the successful launch of Foundation's Passport Prime hardware.

We explore the legal troubles of Craig Wright, who has been sentenced to a suspended prison term for contempt of court, and the ongoing legal battle involving Samurai Wallet, which has been postponed to March 2025. The episode also covers the positive news from the Tornado Cash case where a motion to dismiss was initiated by Roman Storm's legal team.

Additionally, we discuss vulnerabilities in the Wabi Sabi protocol and the Lightning Network, urging users to update their software to protect their privacy and funds. The episode concludes with a festive AI-generated song written by Max, celebrating the ungovernable spirit of the podcast's community and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
