Even once every coin that was planned has been issued, a reward of roughly 0.6 XMR will keep landing in every block, forever. It&amp;rsquo;s called the &lt;em&gt;tail emission&lt;/em&gt;, and its purpose is written down plainly: you have to pay for the costly work that secures the chain, because the day the rewards stop, security collapses with them.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Monero &lt;strong&gt;never&lt;/strong&gt; pays its nodes. A full node isn&amp;rsquo;t a miner: it isn&amp;rsquo;t trying to earn coins, it validates the blockchain and lets you verify your own transactions without trusting anyone. It&amp;rsquo;s the sovereignty tool par excellence — your wallet queries &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; machine, and no outsider sees your activity go by. And yet whoever runs one doesn&amp;rsquo;t earn a cent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Why this site exists (and why it runs at home)</title><link>https://dodger2054.duckdns.org/en/posts/bienvenue/</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dodger2054.duckdns.org/en/posts/bienvenue/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This site is a base. A place of my own where I gather what I write about privacy, Monero and digital sovereignty — whatever platforms those texts land on afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;It runs on my own machine, at home. Not on a service that could shut it down, censor it or resell it. That&amp;rsquo;s consistent with what I stand for: if I believe you should own your data and your money rather than rent them, I might as well start with my own words.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>About</title><link>https://dodger2054.duckdns.org/en/about/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dodger2054.duckdns.org/en/about/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m &lt;strong&gt;Dodger2054&lt;/strong&gt; — aka &lt;strong&gt;Bpivat&lt;/strong&gt;. Both names are the same person, openly: the handle for signing, the GitHub username as the bridge to my public contributions.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The name is from &lt;em&gt;Shadowrun&lt;/em&gt;: Dodger, the elf decker, and 2054, the year. A wink — but also a stance: privacy and autonomy in the face of large systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="what-i-do-here"&gt;What I do here&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m not a developer. I&amp;rsquo;m someone who likes to &lt;strong&gt;understand the why&lt;/strong&gt; and make it legible: why Monero is designed the way it is, why a given architectural decision was made or rejected, why some crypto promises don&amp;rsquo;t hold at an individual&amp;rsquo;s scale. Much of that reasoning is buried in ten years of logs and forums; I try to turn it into clear, citable pieces — for people who, like me, want to grasp the substance without being programmers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
