Only 50k btc nodes... Xmr sitting at 11.5k today 👀👀👀

Is this room bridged to telegram? If so, how do we find it there?

masonwilliaml[m]: It's not.

I need a vector similar to this

<donkeyballs> cryptologos.cc/monero

<PacoKajMilito[m]> "4005d46f6892a37827a9e2fbacc91c51..." <- Logo is easy to find, I'm looking for the vector similar to this, with text

If you are using GIMP, you can write the text, use the "Circle Select" tool, then choose "Selection to Path" and then "Text Along Path". Inkscape is better for vectors than GIMP (e.g. SVGs) and also supports text along path.

<donkeyballs> Here's how you can create text on path in inkscape ardentdesigns.ca/text-on-circular-path-inkscape-tutorial

<donkeyballs> 5 min worth of work in inkscape. Font is not the same, but just showing you how easy it is to create vector in inkscape

<donkeyballs> that monero logo.svg was simply imported into inkscape to start

Thanks I'll give it a try

<Torr> "masonwilliaml: It's not." <- So where is it bridged to? Is anyone opposed to bridging to telegram?

PacoKajMilito: take a look here t.me/XMRSticker

bridgerton[m]: Be careful when using Inkscape, as the color space is RGB. You cannot print designs made with Inkscape unless your print service does color conversion.

tutanota is now accepting btc and xmr

Time to abandon protonmail

Both tutanota and protonmail collaborate with law enforcement

If you care about privacy avoid both

ofc not as good as them supporting it directly but can pay protonmail with monero using btc > xmr swap services

adamantium[m]: Link?

dEBRUYNE: if you have a tutanota mail, you should've gotten an email from them

dEBRUYNE: digitalgoods.proxysto.re

<Siren[m]> "Both tutanota and protonmail..." <- link for tutanota

<Siren[m]> "Both tutanota and protonmail..." <- All services collaborate with law enforcement.

True but I'd prefer a swiss jurisdiction over german.

<adamantium[m]> "link for tutanota" <- cyberscoop.com/germany-court-ruling-tutanota-email-monitoring

jonah_xd[m]: You can work around that if you self host

If you self-host email, rent a KYC-free VPS + domain, pay with Bitcoin/Monero and access SSH over Tor (torsocks or Whonix Workstation). Examples Njal.la are Bitlaunch.io.

But if you connect via Tor and use manual PGP (e.g. gpg in terminal), you can use any email provider.

selfhosting seems to be the only way then but if its a vps, its basically the same shit

<Siren[m]> "You can work around that if..." <- Easier said, email in general is insecure

jonah_xd[m]: Hosting your own email service is easy af

Nah, make it private im talking

Or anonym

You're better off not using email at all if you're that paranoid

Email is such a mess honestly

Impressive how it's still alive in 21st century

<donkeyballs> for extra security, use facsimile

Siren[m]: nobody will go to jail for you. how about we work under that assumption instead of saying both collaborate with law enforcement agencies?

oops. forget i can't chat w/ Matrix people from here because ban. lol.

rottenstonks: irc 4 eva

nioc: yessir.

I'm testing my opencl install and am running my amd gpu 6900 xt on xmrig but it only gets up to 1,5 kh/s. I know gpus are not supposed to work well with xmr, but is that value range to be expected?

<Guest99> "I'm testing my opencl install..." <- #xmrmine:matrix.org

<Siren[m]> "Impressive how it's still..." <- email is actually the pioneer federated software

and id rather use tutanota then yahoo or gmail

* email is actually the pioneer in federation or federated software... its a protocol like matrix or xmpp

adamantium[m]: POP3, IMAP and SMTP

now with encryption keys its almost the same story as btc and xmr

adamantium[m] i'm not currently using matrix, can you write the full message to irc? What i can read is "Impressive how it's still..."

Guest99: "... alive in the 21st century"

concerning your question, you should ask the xmr mining guys

Where can I find a QR code for getmonero.org?

* for getmonero.org ?

DuckDuckGo has a built-in QR code generator: duckduckgo.com/?q=qr+code+getmonero.org&ia=answer

<anarkiocrypto[m]> "DuckDuckGo has a built-in QR..." <- Didn't know that, thanks

h4sh3d: The PayMo author is the same author as this new swap protocol. Instead of committing to a verifiably delayed signature, you can commit to a verifiably delayed scalar which can be used to then sign the refund with your own counter-key part, according to the author which the paper does do elsewhere. Page 5, "More Efficient VTS"

There's also eprint.iacr.org/2021/1273.pdf as an attempt at solving the UX problems

I may take a stab at implementing this. I don't see any practical benefits over the XMR swap protocol, especially with Taproot, EXCEPT this enables XNO XMR and sZEC XMR. That's still probably worth the proof of concept.
