Is it true that miners of Monero cannot censor it ?
- RandomBacon 6y agoMonero miners cannot see the sender address, the receiver address, or the transaction amount. I don't know if they finished Dandelion which is supposed to remove the link between the transaction and the IP submitting it. As far as I know, without Dandelion, it can be censored by IP address if the people running the miners are paying attention to that part of the network, otherwise Monero cannot be censored like Bitcoin can be.

- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoWhen no transaction information is given, all transactions are indistinguishable. Isn't privacy beautiful?
- qertoip 6y agoCorrect. There is no meaningful basis for censorship in a Monero transaction. The sender, amount, receiver and IP address are all essentially hidden or unavailable. Miner can still decide to censor all transactions, random transactions, transactions over certain KB size, etc - but that is probably not very useful, except maybe to attack the network as a whole.
