No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If you use the same wallet for multiple transactions, you create a forensically-discocerable trail. It doesn't give any information in and of itself, but can be used to determine frequency of use, which can be used to trace you. This is, like very basic opsec, just in terms of what you should and shouldn't trust. That's what I'm saying here, and you're missing it because you want to defend a coin that you

didn't even say that [you] use

?

Monero uses stealth addresses that cannot be linked back to a wallet. They are generated new with each transaction.

Here, read the answer here for a better explanation: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/13285/using-multiple-wallets-for-anonimity

I suggest you do some research before saying things with such certainty

Edit: here you know what I'll just paste it here:

Unlike Bitcoin Monero is by default very anonymous and paranoid so you are basically wasting your time doing that. If someone could see amounts and recipients from all transactions Monero would be no more. The whole idea of it is to be anonymous, safe and decentrialized.

(Do I need 6 different accounts to have 6 different wallets?)

a) No you dont't. By default senders create stealth addresses for your public address so that nobody can see on ledger who sent monero to whom. New stealth address is created for every transaction. Also transactions are signed with ring signatures so it is very unlikely to anyone see who made the transaction. Signatures are collected randomly from the blockchain.

*And yes you can have multiple different accounts on single wallet. They all have their own public addresses but they share the same private keys.

(Say I have $5,000 worth of XMR. Do I need to split that up in my transactions to increase anonymity?)

b) You don't have to do that either. Amounts being transferred are heavily encrypted and cannot be decrypted easily. If you look the blockchain you cannot possibly tell anything else than blockreward amounts and amount of transactions (tx) in the block in question.

The "cannot be decrypted easily" is this person hedging as it's literally never been done.
