got it. they managed to post it anyway.

does having a hidden service introduce the same issues?

are we having federation issues? or why did you repost it?

thank you very much, Rucknium. your understanding of my question was spot-on, and the R code works excellently! very useful.

I’d like to ask a few more questions:

• is 314 a common seed in R, or just something you randomly picked?
• in statistics in general, are there cases where n * 100000 random samples (any distribution) would be insufficient? is it a good rule of thumb?

good point. FCMP++ will be an upgrade to the Monero protocol through a network upgrade. to realize the privacy benefits of it, you need a new addressing scheme. so far the scheme was planned to be Jamtis-RCT. Carrot is a separate addressing scheme to be used with FCMP++. nothing prevents the simultaneous use of both, and they look the same to outside observers. FCMP++ was basically “upgraded” by adding another potential addressing scheme to it.

this doesn’t guarantee that both will be used. my guess would be that the industry will converge on one addressing scheme.

yay, thanks!

it is now. the Matrix came back online at 18:00 UTC.

not true. watch the leaked Chainalysis video (e.g. currently available at https://odysee.com/@nyxmr:d/chainalysis:f, may not be in the future). they did a lot of their correlations by running nodes and observing transactions that were directly submitted through those nodes.

run your own full node.

Tuta accepts Monero as payment.

do they directly take actual XMR, or do you mean that they sell vouchers to Proxy Store that Proxy Store then resells for XMR? as far as I know, it’s the latter, and there is a huge difference between the two.
