Monero contributor xmrack posted a Chainalysis video in the Monero Research Lounge Matrix room. X thread. Direct link to video on Chainalysis website has been taken down. Watch and download link thanks to archive.org here (right-click and ‘Save Video As’ option.) Couple quotes from the presentation shared in the Matrix room: “A lot of how we do our monero tracing is IP observation” - Chainalysis. “Fingerprinting wallet software seems to be one of their important heuristics besides RPC IP addresses.” Discussion ongoing.
Diego “rehrar” Salazar shared a sneak peek of his forthcoming getmonero.org design proposal in the Monero Website Workgroup Matrix room. Direct link (Rimgo, Imgur privacy-frontend.) Revuo mirror. Non-gradient, orangified version. Feedback welcome on Matrix/IRC/Reddit/Lemmy.
Unfortunately, our source for XMR street price is down this week, so skipping that metric for this issue until there’s clarification with what happened to the VPS that monero.boats runs on. X thread.
