It would be ballsy to include blatantly malicious code in an open source project. Being a popular project, there's no doubt a sizable amount of eyes on the source code at all times, and the moment this code gets discovered, any credibility you had as a developer goes out the window forever. Look at the node-ipc fiasco: the malicious code was obfuscated yet it was still detected and reverse engineered in a remarkably short amount of time. It's the same deal with the NRL's Tor and the NSA's Ghidra.

There are so many 0-days, in software even if it's opensource. I mean even a really well audited software like OpenSSL had Heartbeat, he's massivly overestimating the helpfulness of auditing. I'm fairly certain the NSA/CIA can build backdoors which are nearly impossible to see in the code.

Monero and stealth addresses are funny if you transacted with a single recipient eventually they could, in theory, get the original sender address.

[@denissorn]

How do you know if he or anyone else is committing, if developers are anonymous? Btw analyzing open source underhanded C/C++ code is much harder than writing code that does whatever.

[@FeralKobold]

3 letter agencies have already been said to have cracked monero ages ago, I'm not entirely sure why this is big news. It's the equivalent of people thinking bitcoin is a super secret way to buy stuff when at this point your wallet address may as well just be your IRL name and picture.

Its a privacy coin, completely anonymous transactions. You cant even see other wallet balances. Very secure very private except if you out yourself somehow, and thats what "fluffypony" was doing, helping link these anon transactions with identifying data.

I remember Roger Ver making vague inferences to the security of Monero many moons ago, I saw it on his youtube channel. However, even though he was speaking about some potential glow, its as you had stated. It's open source and auditable. Always keep your eyes peeled though, you never know unless you audit it yourself.

To be honest, GPT just guesses. It guesses what could be the next word in a sentence given what has happened before in the conversation. And it tries to please you, because else you'd just give up on it like "bah, stupid computer!"

[@rejvaik00]

I'm just surprised for two things we have identified the person who created Monero but we haven't with Bitcoin AND he's able to walk around as a free man you'd think that he'd be facing some kind of legal actions or challenges since his encryption locks are considered too powerful for law enforcement agencies to break at least as of the time of this writing ergo they'd make sure he suffers legal consequences as a result And yes it's factual that some usage of Monero is being utilized in the criminal sphere to evade law enforcement

I don't agree with some of his views, but I'm in grad school for library science - a lot of what Mental Outlaw is fact checkable. Don't wanna take his word for it? GOOD! go and check sources and do research too- that's how you get to the root of information. It's weirdly tiring to see people in comments worried/trolling if he's an informant or a fed. We could be having conversations about the lack of data security and how much work it takes to keep your life private which is a damn human right. Living in fear of "omg everyone who ever teaches me anything is with the fed" is what happens when people get stuck in echo chambers- spend some time in open source development communities. This way of talking isn't rare or "government" it's common when talking about open source.
