How hard is it to implement a backdoor in a fully opensource project? (Assuming the project in question has a lot more eyes on it then an overworked developer)

I2P?

Not Monero!

I use it to buy gift cards in India, currently the most populous country on the planet(for better or for worse), that adds up to… 35-45% of the world population; the figure does not even include the African and south American countries where there is a significant adoption of cryptocurrencies due to high inflation rates of the local currency.

A true private blockchain with a capped supply is a recipe for disaster IMO. considering the tokens right now are dirt cheap, anyone with a spare 10000$ can easily dry up the liquidity and pump the prices, immediately profiting; because you cant pinpoint it down to one whale like you can with a transparent ledger, such volatile downright illegal market manipulation will simply go undetected.

Onramp gets harder and harder

Thanks for informing me, i read through the logs; looks like there are mixed oppinions regarding my concerns, but i am glad that there are others that see it as a potential issue as well, I am confident that eventually a solution can be found that fixes the privacy issue without sacrificing functionality.

botnet

Google has been showing me ‘suspicious activity from your computer’ Captcha lately Is there a way I can scan my device for my peace of mind(not talking about clamAV) a manual inspection, what are the signs that something is wrong?

What kind of threat model makes Linux not secure? (Genuinely curious, I daily drive Fedora and use Flatpaks for sandboxing)

what I am really concerned about(an unfortunate nature of the public ledger) is coins being tainted, they were also pretty vague on any sort of launch window which I understand, I don’t really hope for Monero to moon(Its not supposed to be) but I wonder if the native XMR coin could be used in a psuedo-layer 2 like network, that generates interest by leveraging POS coins(sort of like fractional banking)
