for all the anti FCMP++ agit prop posters, its time we get a few facts straight. Carrot isn't opening up monero to the contruction of a panopticon with OVK. In fact, it's just the opposite. There is currently a bug allowing such a panopticon and carrot is SOLVING it.

I first described the exploit in a post here; I recommend reading it, but the short of it is current IVKs reveal to the IVK holder when you get change and how much, hinting that you've spent the money. With enough IVKs a panopticon can be built to track any monero transaction WITHOUT OVKs.

But carrot introduces true IVKs that hide your change! Now no data is leaked through your IVKs. If you're forced to give up your IVKs to a compliance officer, before they would get more information about your transaction history than you intended. Only with carrot is this limited to the absolute bare minimum information!

To everyone whining about carrot, and especially the the one who claimed they'd leave monero over carrot, your threats of leaving aren't believable. What even was your use case?

If you're using monero to buy illegal goods or services, does anyone actually believe carrot is going drive someone back to... back to what? Nothing has anything close to the privacy monero does.

If you're using monero just to hide your wealth and get the target off your back, what would you use instead?

If you're using monero just as a casino, well then everything makes sense now, doesn't it? Not only do you not care about the fundamentals, the more sensational of a story you can make, the higher the swings, the more fun the ride. So why do we care?

It seems xmrig has crashed my server from running too hot. from my research it seems xmrig has no built in temperature control. Why is that? how do you handle this problem?
