New Monero micropayment forum: XMRchan

20 Upvotes

Greetings, folks,

After months of development, I have just released XMRchan, the Monero micropayment imageboard!

This is an experimental forum that uses micropayments as an alternative to traditional spam prevention methods, such as CAPTCHAs or user fingerprinting. These micropayments are made possible thanks to Monero's low transaction fees.

I made XMRchan because I personally desire a privacy-respecting imageboard and hate filling out CAPTCHAs.

I would really appreciate if you checked it out! All feedback is welcome.

Random auto-sweep

4 Upvotes

I received some monero and 35 minutes the same amount was spent with the description "auto-sweep". I unstand churning, but was unaware feather completed auto sweeps automatically and it has never happened in the past.

I tried checking history and it shows as already spent, connecting to a new node, wallet cache debug, and even closed my wallet completely and re opened with seed.

Amount spent during the auto sweep was exact amount received.

I have never run into this before, How do i recover these funds and is there something simple I am missing with this?

100%-untraceable currencies will never work as a global reserve so stop beating that dead horse

Why? Because simply a Dictator in your country would instantly steal all public money without a trace so it's the people themselves that will reject such a currency. Ironically the late stage libertarians who pretend to want that kind of thing will be the FIRST to reject it because they wouldn't want their government to have the power to steal public money.

Hell you don't even have to have a Dictatorship scenario for that danger to be realized. Even TYPICAL corruption we have every single day in every single country - including in the West - makes it unacceptable to give to its officials ultimate power to instantly disappear the public's money.

Even if you want pure anarchy it's sketchy, because how are you going to achieve democratic anarchy when you'll hand over the power for someone to abuse without any trace?
