A user under the nickname Cristian.XMR on Twitter put up a very interesting post!

PiNode-XMR is a completely free and open source suite of tools to help a user run their own Monero node with ease. PiNode-XMR is designed for use with single board computers (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi, Pine64 or Odroid hardware to allow for very cheap node setup and minimal 24/7 running costs due to low power usage.

Not so long ago, a user under the nickname CA Libertad on Twitter published a very interesting post related to Monero.

Pure Go Monero Library

Dear Monerujo users!

We’ve noticed (and so did some of you) that Sideshift removed Monero from their platform. We received no prior notice at all.

So the exchange service in Monerujo doesn’t work. We’re already looking into alternatives and we’ll release an update ASAP.

What Is a Transaction Fee?

Transaction fees are payments made when transferring cryptocurrency between wallets. These fees can vary based on the blockchain'sactivity and serve as an incentive for miners to verify transactions. Users can choose to pay higher fees to prioritize their transactions and expedite the process. Transaction fees play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of blockchain networks by preventing network overload and incentivizing miners to validate transactions. Why are Bitcoin transaction fees much higher than monero?

Bitcoin transaction fees are generally higher than Monero due to the fixed block size limit in Bitcoin. When the number of transactions exceeds the block size limit, users have to compete by offering higher fees to prioritize their transactions. This bidding war for limited space in blocks drives up the fees. In contrast, Monero has a dynamic block size, allowing for more transactions to be included when the queue is long, resulting in lower fees as there is less competition for block space. Is it easier to maintain privacy when using Monero compared to Bitcoin?

Achieving full privacy in Monero is generally easier than in Bitcoin. In Monero, sending a transaction provides maximum privacy by default. On the other hand, Bitcoin requires users to navigate through numerous steps and techniques to attain only moderate levels of privacy. Therefore, Monero offers a more straightforward and efficient means of maintaining privacy compared to Bitcoin.

After ~650 virtually uninterrupted days of work on Monero Observer, it’s time for a much needed break.

In an effort to mitigate long-term exhaustion and get back into physical and mental shape, I’m opting for a total disconnect: no reporting, no communications.

Not sure how long I need and what I will decide to do after this period. The website will remain online for now, so anyone can still browse the archives.

Thanks for reading and supporting my work, I have always appreciated that.

Onward.
