Update: It is confirmed to be a social engineering theft from an elderly individual in the US.

Nine hours ago a suspicious transfer was made from a potential victim for 3520 BTC ($330.7M)

Shortly after the funds began to be laundered via 6+ instant exchanges and was swapped for XMR causing the XMR price to spike 50%

According to Binance, the funds received in the account were exchanged from Monero back into Bitcoins. According to the KRP report, most of the funds were again transferred onwards, this time in two different directions.

Binancen mukaan tilille tulleet varat vaihdettiin Moneroista takaisin Bitcoineiksi. KRP:n selvityksen mukaan suurin osa niistä siirrettiin jälleen eteenpäin, tällä kertaa kahteen eri suuntaan.

Another path followed by the KRP led police from Binance to an online service that promises to exchange virtual currency for cash instantly.

Toinen KRP:n seuraamista poluista johti poliisin Binancesta erääseen verkossa toimivaan palveluun, joka lupaa vaihtaa virtuaalivaluuttaa rahaksi välittömästi.

The dates of the transfers also coincided perfectly with the payments traced by the KRP.

Siirtojen ajankohdat myös menivät täydellisesti yksiin KRP:n jäljittämien maksujen kanssa.

What should I do with my Monero (XMR) before support ends?

You have until August 10, 2025, to send XMR to another supported wallet.

How do I send XMR from Exodus to Cake Wallet?

To get started, follow the appropriate guide based on your device: https://www.exodus.com/support/en/articles/10862085-what-should-i-do-with-my-monero-xmr-before-support-ends

On kyun.host you top up your balance by sending Monero. They give you 10% for free. Clear terms and conditions and you only need a password, not even an email address.

Two Wallets Increase Your Privacy - O.S.P.E.A.D with ArticMine & Duke Leto

• RULE 1: Only give out stealth addresses (starting with an 8...) to your Incoming wallet.
• RULE 2: Always make a new stealth address for different people/services. For example, don't give the same address to two different exchanges, that hurts your privacy.
• RULE 3: Only send out out funds from your Outgoing wallet. Never give out any addresses from this wallet, ever!
• RULE 4: The only time you send funds out of Incoming is to "top up" funds in your Outgoing wallet. Never send funds to a third party from your Incoming wallet, ever!

“Monero can do what I thought bitcoin could, which means it has value

The question is, how much is it worth?”- @PeterSchiff

Activate the blocklist in the Monero GUI wallet or Monero node.

I've written this here before, but even if it only draws the attention of a few wallet and node operators to the banlist, it's already worth it. It reduces the connections to suspicious, potentially useless or even counterproductive nodes in the Monero network.

Monero GUI wallet

If your run your own local node through the GUI wallet, go to Settings. In the “Daemon startup flags” box, input “–ban-list ”. Then click the orange “Stop daemon” button. It will take a few seconds for the daemon to shut down. Then click the orange “Start daemon” button. If you use a remote node, whoever operates the remote node will decide if the ban list is enabled.

✋ node operators enable a ban list

The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list

https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list/blob/main/ban_list.txt

Download the ban list and:

./monerod --ban-list

P2P Economy

• A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

As we all know, Bitcoin, the origin of blockchain, is widely recognized as the most decentralized blockchain and the most valuable cryptocurrency. However, few people realize that in the Bitcoin whitepaper, Satoshi Nakamoto never mentioned “blockchain” nor “decentralization.” Instead, he used the term “peer-to-peer” (P2P), even placing it directly in the title — “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”

A P2P service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other without a third-party intermediary. When we return to first principles and rethink what blockchain truly is, one straightforward explanation comes to mind — blockchain is essentially a P2P network.

The truth is, what we refer to as “on-chain” is actually the consensus layer built on top of the P2P network. However, many business processes don’t need to be on-chain and rely on the consensus layer; they can be handled directly at the P2P network layer. For example, if Alice wants to pay Bob, the ideal way would be for Alice to send the money directly to Bob in a peer-to-peer manner rather than through unnecessary intermediaries (e.g., consensus validators or block producers). This approach is not only faster but also naturally provides privacy protection.

Moreover, building applications at the P2P network layer avoids performance bottlenecks and high transaction fees, enabling the creation of truly useful applications that can achieve mass adoption.

1. The P2P Economy addresses real-world problems with genuine user demand and practical application scenarios (e.g., P2P payment, decentralized storage). This has been thoroughly proven for years rather than being an imaginary need. It can truly create value rather than merely providing tools for speculation.

2. In the P2P Economy, most business logic does not need to be on-chain, eliminating performance bottlenecks and transaction fee issues. As a result, the user experience is greatly improved, making mass adoption more likely.

3. The P2P Economy uses stablecoin payments, making it easy for users to understand and convenient for participants to evaluate service costs and revenue. The use of stablecoins also weakens the speculative narrative of token issuance.
