+Monero contributor xmrack posted a Chainalysis video in the Monero Research Lounge Matrix [room](https://matrix.to/#/!zxoYuvZdPYtIuWSQnn:monero.social/$wY1X8eEilFIZ-xJCC2IQsvlh7hKyZ_7t0eec_o3A18s?via=matrix.org&via=monero.social&via=xmr.mx). X [thread](https://xcancel.com/Thankful_fr_tdy/status/1830706777140117790#m). Direct link to video on Chainalysis website has been taken down. Temporary download link provided by Revuo [here](https://send.vis.ee/download/72a0b72ed6711a40/#EEzFHi_ymZeuuXSAOHEDZA); valid for 3 days only, or first 10 downloads, whichever occurs first. Couple quotes from the presentation shared in the Matrix room: “A lot of how we do our monero tracing is IP observation” - Chainalysis. "Fingerprinting wallet software seems to be one of their important heuristics besides RPC IP addresses." Discussion ongoing.

+Unfortunately, our source for XMR street price is down this week, so skipping that metric for this issue until there's clarification with what happened to the VPS that [monero.boats](https://monero.boats/) runs on. X [thread](https://xcancel.com/kawaiicrypto/status/1831035047262179749#m).
