> "Kraken US implementing XMR withdrawal and deposit limits on August 15th

I'm surprised I haven't seen a post here about this yet. Individual withdrawal limits are set to $1,500 and deposit limits are $3500, starting August 15th. https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2076807666731520248 I personally confirmed this with Kraken Support on Twitter as well. How are people feeling about this? I know there will be some who carry on as usual with the mantra that CEXs don't matter, but hypothetically if you carried a large monero balance (6 figures, etc)... you've pretty much lost your liquidity. Monero can be used P2P to a certain extent... but for big purchases like a house? I imagine it's niche."

> "Celebrating 5 years and 5000 active VPS! Always without KYC!

Hello r/monero, It is this time of the year again! Since last year we have massively moved to colocation with now over 50% of our customers being hosted on our own hardware. 2 locations with our own servers, a 3rd one on the way (Finland) and more coming. Monero is still accounting for the majority of our payments, as it is from the beginning representing around 30% of all orders. This year is a special one: servers.guru turns 5 years old, and almost at the same time we passed 5000 active VPS. We've been providing VPS and webhosting for the Monero community since day one, back in July 2021, and honestly seeing both milestones land together feels great."

It is not normally my style to start creating reddit threads and posts on socials about this to bring awareness and participation into the issue, but... u/plowsof keeps playing "mental games" with his cynicism, double ban and gatekeeping antics. Please, if you have a spare couple minutes, catch up with this reddit thread, where I started denouncing what was going on. Unfortunately, there's been little to no change in attitude from him, so... now we have this GitHub issue, to discuss precisely the matter that is shown in thread title, and GitHub issue title."

The view cycles through a dashboard with a large Monero "M" logo, a "Mining Fleet" panel listing 4 connected workers with a total hashrate of 14.36 kH/s and 11,465 accepted shares, and a detailed system log streaming mining proxy and P2Pool node activity.

Open-source service marketplace that uses Monero – looking for feedback Hey everyone, I've been working on an open-source project called MyZubster and wanted to share it with the Monero community. It's a peer-to-peer platform where people can offer and request services (programming, tutoring, handyman work, etc.), and payments are handled in XMR. Why Monero? Privacy-first – no transaction tracking Non-custodial – private keys stay on your device Escrow system with Monero multisig – funds are locked until the work is done How it works:"
