The CCS Monero Debian Package Repository for 2 years (!130) · Merge requests · monero-project / CCS Proposals · GitLab has been successfully completed. The CSS has expired at the beginning of this year. No extension request is planned. It is recommended to use the official Monero flatpak installation method which documented.

The monero-gui Debian package by Kicksecure has been deprecated and removed from the repository.
Alright. Thanks for the maintenance work. Going forward, I will download the binaries directly from getmonero.org
Btw, what’s going to happen to the existence of outdated monero binaries in Whonix, come the next Monero network upgrade? Is whonix going to remove those monero binaries?
No automatic removal. During upgrading, there will be the usual notification that packages can be automatically removed by running:
sudo apt autoremove

Support for Monero really, really sucks in the latest Whonix.
This all happens on the freshly installed latest Whonix VirtualBox release. Wtf guys?
The Monero Debian package by Whonix previously were exactly the same binaries. So the issue you’re experiencing now would equally apply.
Try add more RAM.
Otherwise needs to be resolved as per Free Support Principle.
Tested Monero flathub version in WS and its working as expected.

It isn’t like Monero can be traced, just some few shortcomings that Seraphis will hopefully fix it.
Monero can’t be deterministically traced. In a few edge-cases in which it might be probabilistically traced, the user can mitigate that attack vector by churning.
Currently, full membership proofs are under research by the Monero Research Lab. See this: Luke Parker - Full Chain Membership Proofs: Solving One of Monero’s Last Privacy Hurdles - Invidious

Monero is not a mixer.
If you want news
Is Monero added back to the default Whonix installs yet? Monero should come back into Whonix installation by default. Btc has no privacy protections in its transactions, it is as if using a clearnet browser, yet, electrum btc wallet is included in default installs. What a joke, seeing a btc wallet program inside a privacy-centric linux distro.
No. And according to the last post change is planned.
Install from flatpak. Done.
Where is this post?
Note (1): Monero package is not yet verified on Flathub. In Whonix, as a security measure, only verified packages are allowed to be installed from Flathub when using Flatpak. Therefore, you won’t find Monero available for installation if you use flatpak in whonix by default.
To fix this you need to edit /etc/flatpak/remotes.d/flathub.flatpakrepo and change the Subset= from verified_floss to floss or to flathub (subset types can be found here)
So this will be kept happening until Monero fix their package on flathub.
Note (2): At the moment, Install monero package with flatpak using --user, not as system wide (without using --user), this is an issue of flatpak system side installation yet to be fixed inside whonix (need more relaxed restrictions) pointed here.
No need to edit any file. The command on how to do that is already documented in the wiki:
