That depends on what preset you select. On long fast, on meshtastic, it's only 1 KBPS, but on something like short fast, it can be something like 10 KBPS, and on short turbo it can be 20 KBPS.
Also, to address the channel utilization, telemetry has been disabled in the latest versions by default and you have to request it manually instead of it being sent out automatically.

I will point out that you can't really compare between the dollar and other currencies, because those currencies are also devalued at almost the same rate, so the valuation won't change very much between them. All fiat currencies are balloons that are inflating at almost the same rate. One might be inflating slightly faster than the other, etc., but they are all inflating.

Thanks to Techlore i heard about @npub1dd9…xe7p
It seems very interesting as it does a multi-hop where you pay them with #Monero, and they know that you have paid for their service, but then they send your traffic to Mulvad, and Mulvad knows what your traffic is, but doesn't know who you are other than that, you are an Obscura user.
Now, for me personally, I use a service called Control-D as a DNS filter to kill ads, malware, trackers, etc and that uses DoT which does not work in combination with a VPN. So I would have to make sure that I can get the same functionality after the VPN instead of before it because I am not willing to give that up.

From the best math I can get the ratio of cell phone towers to people is 1:~4,000/carrier in my country. The #Meshtastic ratio is 1:38,000 in my state/province. I started tracking it when it was 1:80,000 so it has definitely improved, but still has quite a ways to go.

depends on the scenario and what's more popular in your area. For example, around here we already have a meshtastic repeater up and running, so it works out well, but meshcore has no infrastructure in the area, so it only works directly, peer to peer. Since companions do not repeat, this would make it a worse use case than meshtastic.

As far as the privacy goes, I send the USDC out of Coinbase to my own personal wallet and then send it immediately to a swap service. So if they trace it, they will see it goes from Coinbase to me, and then directly to one of the known swap services. I suspect they will be able to know how much I got from the swap service in Monero, but then the trail would go cold.

2026-01-18 14:36:51 UTC

- reply

You don't get taxed for buying. You get taxed for selling. Therefore, I do not make sales on Coinbase at all ever. The way I see it, once Fiat goes into Monero, it does not come back out unless it's in the peer-to-peer economy. So I am very fiat poor with just enough to have some pocket money, but no more.

2026-01-18 11:36:59 UTC

- reply

I still unfortunately have some fiat bills, so when I get my fiat paycheck, I keep enough around to pay those, and then convert the rest of it into Monero. And as I said, I pay as many of my bills as I possibly can in Monero. Although, that's not many. Mainly my food and my cell phone bill, and my email service, and search engine.
Things I haven't figured out a good way of doing are anything that requires some sort of ACH transaction. Such as credit card bills, car payments, mortgage payments, etc. If you have to give a debit or credit card, it's easy enough to handle with Monero. But if you have to give a bank routing number and account number, then it becomes difficult.

2026-01-18 11:32:51 UTC

- reply

For now, I buy USDC on Coinbase since there's no fees and convert it using an instant swap such as Trocador or CypherGoat. I am planning to begin using #RetoSwap very heavily in the future once the amount of volume in the payment method I have increases on it.

A somewhat practical guide to living on a hard money standard in a debasing fiat world.
Firstly, let me say, I do not know how long this will end up being. It could be very short, or it could be an entire essay. We shall see.
1. The "why?"
2. Choosing a hard money Unit of Account (UoA)
3. Stability out of instability
4. Shifting your mindset
5. Practical advice and how I do it
1. The "why?": All governments debase fiat currency. This is a fact. You work day after day, hour after hour, and you feel like you can never get ahead. You see your friends turning to socialist and communist policies such as rent control and public takeover of private property. You believe in the idea that what you work for is rightfully yours, and therefore you are labeled selfish. I disagree, and you are not alone.
This is an admittedly incomplete guide as to how I do my best to live my life on #Monero, but these concepts can be applied to other things such as #Bitcoin. I've explained bits and pieces of this before on podcasts and in ephemeral chats that disappear over time, but I figure I should actually write them down in a slightly more permanent way, so here it is, filtered by at least some forethought, though admittedly not much.
2. Choosing a hard money Unit of Account (UoA): This is a personal choice, but from what I can tell, the best contenders are #Monero, #Bitcoin, and #Gold.
Monero prides itself and strives to be peer-to-peer, uncensorable, private digital cash. The Monero community believe fiercely that the right to privacy in your financial dealings is a fundamental human right. An outsider is unable to tell who sent a Monero transaction, who received that Monero transaction, or how much that Monero transaction was for. The only people who have the right to know that information according to the Monero community are the sender and the receiver. The Monero community is openly defiant of state power and control and believe Monero is a tool like any other that can cause great harm or great good depending on the human behind the input device.
Bitcoin these days is commonly referred to as "digital gold". It was the very first cryptocurrency, and we all owe a great debt of gratitude to Satoshi Nakamoto for what he/she/they accomplished. Bitcoin was released as a scathing response to the 2008 great financial crisis. Satoshi embedded a now famous headline into the Genesis block of the network, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”. What an absolute legend.
Gold has been hard money for thousands of years, retaining its purchasing power, and was only dealt a final killing blow in 1971 when then US President Richard Nixon declared "I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, except in amounts and conditions determined to be in the interest of monetary stability and in the best interests of the United States.". In case you haven't been keeping count, this temporary government program has been in effect for 55 years, showing that there really is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.
As mentioned above, I have chosen Monero to fill this role in my life.
3. Stability out of instability: I will be the first one to admit, living on a hard money standard when everybody else is living on a flexible fiat standard is hard work. If you are not prepared for hard work, stop reading now and go do something else. Depending on the recklessness of your government, this could be literal years of hard work.
If you look at a price chart on any trading service, what you will find is that the prices of Monero, Bitcoin, and Gold can fluctuate wildly, or at least they look like they do. More on that later. The way I have found to combat this problem is by using a simple moving average of the prices instead of the day-to-day fluctuation in the market prices. You have a choice to make. How comfortable are you with instability? If you choose a shorter term moving average, you will be closer to the current market price at any given time, but your net worth will also experience more fluctuation when measured in your failing fiat currency. Choosing a longer-term moving average will keep your net worth more stable when measured in your failing fiat currency at the expense of most of the time underestimating your actual net worth, sometimes by quite a bit.
4. Shifting your mindset: Here's where things get tough. You have to abandon accounting your net worth in the fiat currency that you've used all your life. And that is hard. You have to put yourself in a headspace something like "my fiat currency is worthless, and I want nothing to do with it, if at all possible." you have to take the simple moving average you decided on above and start mentally pricing items from your fiat currency into the hard money you've chosen to use. as an example, instead of "my internet bill is 50 US dollars per month" your thought will need to become "my internet bill is 144 millinero (0.144 Monero) per month". This is where that moving average from earlier comes in. The market price of the hard money can fluctuate wildly in your failing fiat currency and you need to be able to price items you see directly in your new hard money without having to break out a calculator for everything. You don't have to get the pricing perfect by any means, but eventually you should be able to look at a price in your local fiat currency and have a decent idea of exactly what that item would cost in your hard money unit of account. Since your fiat currency is failing against the hard money unit of account you've chosen, what you'll often find is that you can get items at a "discount" from what you would have expected to pay by using the simple moving average. As an example, as of writing, I would expect to pay ~86 millinero for 2 two topping pizzas delivered to my home, but as of now, I would actually pay ~51.7 millinero instead. That is a "discount' from what I would have anticipated to be paying as determined by the simple moving average. However, the opposite can sometimes be the case and you might end up having to pay a "premium" above what you would have expected based on the simple moving average. This happens when your hard money unit of account is being undervalued as compared to the simple moving average in your failing fiat currency and is generally short-lived since your fiat currency is failing. during this "premium" it is best to delay non-essential consumption, if at all possible, until this reverts to normal. You should of course be fiat cost averaging into your hard money currency at all times from your failing currency, but at these times it is best to put any extra you might be able to get ahold of in quickly because you will obtain more units of the hard money and therefore be more wealthy later on down the road.
5. Practical advice and how I do it:
5A: Consume Media: Find podcasts, books, music, etc. to listen to about your chosen unit of account or similar hard monies. The Monero community, the Bitcoin community, and the Gold community have their differences, but deep down we are all striving for the same thing. We want to live in a world where our work is valued in a currency that cannot be debased by other human beings. Therefore, it's fine to listen to content from the other camps. Because the general rules apply even if specifics may not.
I've chosen Monero personally, but I still listen to Bitcoin podcasts and read Bitcoin books because while they may be about Bitcoin, so much of what they have to say is completely applicable to Monero. I also listen to podcasts about gold and silver for that exact same reason.
5B: Redenominate your life: Denominate your life as much as possible in the unit of account you've chosen and encourage others of similar viewpoints to do the same. If you can do so, find companies who take your currency for bill payments and start using them (example: Cloaked Wireless accepts both Monero and Bitcoin for cellphone bills)
For me #XMRBazaar has been fantastic. They have tons of items directly priced in Monero, where I don't have to concern myself with converting from Fiat.
5C: Determine your CAGR (compound annual growth rate): You are using the simple moving average to calculate your net worth, which is going to most of the time be below your actual net worth, and your fiat currency is failing against the hard money you've chosen. This means if you spent nothing from your hard money stack that your net worth in your local fiat currency would actually continue to grow. You could also treat this as a "dividend" and spend that much fiat in the full knowledge that as long as you spend less than that amount, the fiat value of your stack would stay the exact same or possibly grow. Here's a quick example for illustration purposes: monero's 6 month simple moving average is $352 US Dollars and the CAGR is 15%. So 15% divided by 12 months is 15/12 = 1.25%/month. If your hard money stack was worth 1,000 US dollars your "dividend" would be 1000*0.0125 = $12.50 US Dollars/month. If you spent nothing, your hard money would now be worth $1,012.50 or if you wished you could spend that $12.50 on something and your hard money stack would still be worth $1,000 US Dollars. Your stack of hard money would decrease slightly, but the fiat value of that stack would stay the exact same.
5D: Live the gift card life: You will not be able to find everything you want priced directly in your hard money of choice. Deal with it. Therefore, you will need to find merchants who are willing to accept the hard money you have chosen for gift cards denominated in your local currency in order to get some of the things you need. Here in the US, I am able to spend Monero to buy an Instacart gift card, for example, and then buy my groceries using that, so I have paid for my groceries using Monero indirectly.
After all is said and done, what you will find is that your life as denominated in the hard money currency you've chosen will get easier over time. In 2023 I was having to pay 1.2 Monero per month for my groceries and today that has fallen to 0.511 or -57.4% in 3 years. And that's against the US dollar, which is supposedly a stable currency. I can't imagine what it would be like for something like the Argentinian peso or Mexican peso. If the US dollar really is the cleanest dirty shirt, then that's still an extremely dirty shirt.

I kind of wonder if I could hook my #HomeAssistant into Nano-GPT, so my home AI could be run on #Monero.

2026-01-16 22:07:11 UTC

#HomeAssistant Assist has really boring responses. I say "turn on John's heater" and it replies "turned on the switch". Not "okay" or "I've turned on John's heater", just a boring response. And if it's already on, like if I was in the other room and asked it to do that, it doesn't respond with something like "John's heater is already on you fucking cunt"

Hey @npub1xsg…zazx what's the status of you guys accepting #Monero?

2026-01-16 14:19:11 UTC

This is so strange. I am ending up with transactions in my wallet for no apparent reason whatsoever. They are not dust transactions, and they are not from me managing Monero between accounts of any kind. I have a specified donation wallet, and they're not coming there, so I have no idea where they are coming from. Maybe I put that address on #XMRBazaar as the forum donation address or something. And I don't remember it. Either way, if you're the one sending them, thank you.

Anyone know what ungovernable misfits hasn't put out a #Monero monthly for January? I need it in my life.

Thats not bad. Starlink is offering 100mbps for 144mXMR/mo

Nixon parody
"I have directed the #Monero community to take the action necessary to defend Monero against the speculators. I have directed the Monero community to suspend temporarily the convertibility of Monero into Fiat or other such shit assets. Except in amounts and conditions determine to be in the interest of Monero stability and in the best interest of the Monero community."

As long as they keep their Monero, they won't lose any money. If they sell out, then we didn't want them anyway, and it's their own damn fault for being speculators. Let them get wrecked. I'm perfectly cool with that.

2026-01-14 20:02:08 UTC

I would love to round-trip all these gains and leave all those speculator motherfuckers underwater and watch them drown and laugh at their plight.

This is exactly why I demand the simple moving average instead of the current market price. You either pay me that amount, or you go find somebody else who's willing to sell you that product. Either is your own choice.

I'm not a Bitcoiner, but I find Jack to be interesting to listen to, and I can apply most of what he says directly to Monero.

I am really enjoying the "choose" action of #HomeAssistant automations. As an example my heater has 4 triggers that i have called "lower temperature", "upper temperature", "Max Manual Temperature", and an unnamed one for a manual toggle of the power switch either physically or by the app.
If the thermometer hits lower temperature, it turns the heater on, and when the thermometer hits upper temperature, it turns the heater off. If I have activated the switch manually and the temperature is above upper temperature, it will still cut off at max manual temperature. That way I don't wake up to a 90 degree room and a bunch of wasted power if I fall asleep with the heater running.
Finally, the last action the heater automation takes under all conditions is to make sure the air conditioner is turned off by toggling the air conditioner switch off. That way you cannot run the air conditioner while the heater is running because there's really no point in doing so. The air conditioner automation will have the same thing, so its last action will be to turn off the heater in case it's on for some reason.
I also have my dashboard set up so that if I turn on the heater, the air conditioner power switch disappears off the dashboard until the heater is turned off again. If the air conditioner is turned on, the heater power switch disappears from the dashboard until the air conditioner is turned off. When both of them are off, both switches show up on the dashboard, and when either of them is turned on, that device's current power usage and total power usage are shown on the dashboard until it is turned off.

Just set up my Third Reality temp sensor with #HomeAssistant. I also set the battery badge to appear on my bedroom dashboard if it gets below 99% just for testing, but I will probably move it down to like 20%.
I LOVE the "Works With HomeAssistant" program. It makes purchasing devices stupid simple.

Well, while i have never gotten anyone on the mesh psrt of #Bitchat since it can run in background i will leave it running which will increase the chsnces

Exactly, I see a product on #XMRBazaar for example, and the first question is, do I need this? And the second question is, does this take less than 1% of my #Monero stack to purchase? If the answer to either one of those questions is no, then I'm very unlikely to purchase it.

You can, sure, but Bitcoiners look down on you if you do. You know, "never sell your Bitcoin", "digital gold".

Yeah, I can definitely sympathize with that perspective. I've been able to use meshtastic to chat over RF with other people quite often, but I've never been able to use bitchat to chat over RF. If it weren't for the internet, I would have never been able to talk with anybody on BitChat. And that's kind of a failure.

The problem is Bitcoin has to matter as they day-to-day currency, which it's not. I have been told I'm not supposed to use Bitcoin to go buy coffee

I didn't realize it before, but #Monero is at an all-time high. The all-time high before was like $280 in 2018 on the six-month moving average. And now it's over 340. So we've been at all-time high for months.
