RINO wallet closing down end of October
  • Thanks for this, did not want to go to Reddit to see what this was about.

    The rino people would have been better off just putting up a CSS to implement these features in monero instead of starting a whole business.

  • I used to think that the BTC security model is in trouble, I was so wrong! /s
  • MoneroTown is federated so the downvotes are most likely coming from other instances with BTC maxi's who are angry the truth is coming out. However this post is off-topic and should be in a more relevant community as it has not that much to do with Monero. Maybe cryptocurrency community.

    Nice write-up. I could see the captured BTC devs propose proof of stake solutions in the future. BCH is where real bitcoiners have migrated to. BTC is now just full of bag holders and laser eye clowns.

  • my biggest problem with haveno and bisq is starting from nothing
  • try xmrbazaar.com there are people on there offering to sell small amounts of monero for fiat

  • In case anyone on X would like to boost the note, or has any advice...
  • Try Bastyon, it is a free speech, censorship resistant, and decentralized twitter with many users.

  • I'm considering running for political office in the US.
  • This would most likely be a waste of time. The state is configured in such a way to resist any change and continue the status quo so everyone of your peers there would be fighting you.

    It is much better to build systems, communities, and technology which render the state irrelevant. Ultimately the state is a mafia and it exists for its own benefit at the expense of everyone else, so joining this and trying to rearrange some tables and chairs will accomplish nothing for freedom.

  • Feather-Atomic atomic swap plugin for feather wallet v1.1 released
  • If that is how it works then the best way to use it would be to keep a pool of LTC that went through MW then spend from it. You do not want to MW a specific amount then immediately move that same amount to somewhere. Because the receiving party could possibly determine the origin before the MW pass-through just based on the amount.

  • Looks suspect. Why someone would spend $30k up front to get a foreign passport is weird, should be more like $3k. You can get a foreign wife for 10k, lol.

  • Feather-Atomic atomic swap plugin for feather wallet v1.1 released
  • BCH is a better option IMO, they have CashFusion which is a very advanced coin-join which gives you almost Monero level privacy. https://bchfaq.com/knowledge-base/what-is-cashfusion/

    MW on LTC requires the other party to also participate, something which exchanges and most people will never do. I used to use LTC but have found BCH to be a better option with more potential in the future as the community is very active.

  • Get Monero off Twitter. Elon Musk censors for Brazil && FBI visits Odysee founder over TWEETS
  • Elon is controlled opposition. He always comes out strongly against what the dirty cabal is doing for the PR, then quietly cucks. So most people have this perception that he is fighting for the people but really he is a fully controlled Judas goat.

  • Very cool. Would try it but I do not have or want BTC 😆

    Hopefully there is a BCH version coming next 👀

  • the monero.social Matrix server is down. IRC still works. (edit: Matrix up now)
  • There is a small but growing Monero community on Retroshare, which is fully decentralized and never down.

  • Appimage is a great way for developers to release a binary that works on all linux systems right away. It is a burden on devs to create multiple packages.

    Then distributions or users can take the appimage and build a package that integrates properly.

    It is also trivial to integrate an appimage into your system by just creating a file that your desktop will read and create a menu item.

  • Monero needs its shock troops to move its adoption
  • I have read up on both, that is why I made the comment.

  • Monero needs its shock troops to move its adoption
  • Don't worry, people will be begging us to show them how to use Monero in the next few years, including this commie clown.

  • Bounty on building an AppImage installer [2 XMR] · Issue #1222 · haveno-dex/haveno
  • This is desperately needed.
    Also we need a feature to specify the network to connect to from the official build so people do not have to download builds from other sources, without this the appimage will be useless.

    Large botnet taken down, Monero hashrate drops

    Cars including a Rolls-Royce, two BMWs and a Ferrari - as well as luxury watches - are among assets that could also be confiscated.

    This may be a historical moment, Monero TX fee is higher than BTC

    This may be a new attack tactic. By flooding the TX pool with large transactions they are trying to artificially jack up TX costs since the spam attack did not work.

    As usual Monero will learn from this and improve. 👍 It is best to go through all this while Monero is still not a top world currency.

    Can we shave 60% off of wallet sync times by compressing blocks from remote nodes?

    I noticed that the Monero chain compresses about 60%, would it be possible to compress blocks before sending them from a remote node to a syncing wallet thus saving a big chunk of bandwidth and time?

    Does anyone know if this is already happening during sync, or if not why?

    edit: this can be done using ssh tunnels, if you have ssh access to your remote server. The "-C" option enables compression. ssh -C -NL 18089:localhost:18089 server_username@server_address Now you can set your wallet to 127.0.0.1:18089 and now your wallet syncing should be faster, enjoy!

    The case for dropping old blocks to keep Monero blockchain size under control and future proof

    Monero is striving to be a currency that everyone can use, the growth of the blockchain is starting to hamper this goal IMO.

    I think we should consider dropping blocks off of the chain tail once we reach block height of 4000000. This will give us 10 years of storage capacity, more than enough IMO.

    Similar to how you have to exchange bills of cash once they get worn, you would simply churn your coins to get your outputs into younger blocks.

    We are trying to be digital cash not an inheritance vault. If we had this feature from the start 99% of the community would agree with it.

    Please consider this.🙂

    *Edit: @4KB/tx * 100,000tx/day we are looking at ~400MB chain growth daily, this is not sustainable, let's take care of this now before it becomes a big problem

    **Edit: A possible solution could be that nodes would have the option to set chain retention duration. So when syncing a new node you can select that you would like to retain 5 years of chain data, with a minimum boundary enforced that retains sufficient security. This way the network decides in a fair way how much chain data is useful to store.

    I wonder if these two charts are correlated? BTC TX fees are helping Monero grow?

    The failure of the BTC network is a great on-boarding opportunity for Monero.

    Kuno XMR Fundraising Platform is Down - We need a fundraiser to get this on a proper hosting provider ASAP

    This should really be a high priority service with dedicated admins.

    If hosting fund raisers we need near 100% uptime.

    Also using cloudflare is a bad idea as it centralizes web traffic.
