so is running a monero wallet connected to your own node remotely a vulnerability to your privacy, or does this only apply to public nodes? I want to set up a btc pay server with monero, and connect my gui wallet to it. is this a bad idea/

s///?/

no issues with connecting to your own node remotely

I know nothing about running btc pay

<r4v3r23[m]> "huh" <- actual true story yea

If Bitcoin maxis have 100k BTC as their current goal what is a good one for Monero?

Was thinking daily TX count

Highest daily tx count was 40768

ayyyy big fan here <3

<ian.niculescu> Glad to find you here ! Good goal would be 100k tx I guess

100k btc you mean as in like daily tx as well?

<ian.niculescu> I think we need to fund a monero El Zonte

<ian.niculescu> a good goal is a place using Monero as currencie

i think the goal for monero is to get from 10% daily tx of bitcoin to at least 100%

well, was monthly i saw was at 10% but guessing that means daily also is

So the whole laser eyes meme in btc was over "laser eyes till 100k btc" as in $100,000 usd

On /biz/ we were talking about jmaking a "censored eyes till [insert goal]" for xmr

I really liked the % of btc transactions

oh! right right!

Seems like everyone wants to focus on the use of xmr as a currency (which by all metrics like coin cards it seems to be)

hard part is quantifying it in an easy number to track

I think you are right on the % of btc transactions and having 10 would be a nice metric. Only thing is the highest % was already at 17.8% last year. Was hoping to find a different one

Something new to look forward to

ethereum is already way way higher on that metric (daily tx) than bitcoin so imo shouldnt be too high of a goal and keeping it possible in a relatively short term yea :3

<ian.niculescu> Mybe a good goal would be to activate dynamic block size

<bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> I think we need to fund a monero El Zonte

lol.

> <@spacekitty420:matrix.org> right, can't really buy your daily coffee with bitcoin on how expensive the fees but then that's why they trying to get adoption on layer 2 like LN

> funny thing, shopbinbit released their figures for feb 2022:

> nitter.net/shopinbit/status/1492467342546251777

and gotta keep supporting those legal and compliant shops from the clearnet with that monero, it's all those legal shops and services that should make wide scale adoption actually happen o.o

ridiculous.

coxring: u ridiculous, 320 btc is not bigger than 4000 xmr, fuck outta here LOL

<ian.niculescu> why is it ridiculous ?

The entire El Salvador bullshit story is all KYC'd, d00d.

How the fuck do you want to replicate what happened in El Salvador, just with Monero?

Are you mentally challenged, or a Monero maxi, which is about the same?

<ian.niculescu> don't be rude, what happened in el zonte and the whole chivo wallet KYC, government shadiness is separate.

Right.

Don't hurt my feels, please. Sir, have some manners.

Call me when y'all have better arguments and come up with better ideas. Till then, please carry on with your half-assed biases.

xo

<ian.niculescu> having a location in Nigeria for example using Cakewallet would be a good thing and I don't think it would be expensive to do

First error: shilling Cake Wallet.

<ian.niculescu> (to give monero to the population and teach te)

Again, call me when you do better. Otherwise it is just boring.

<ian.niculescu> bruh, sorry for not being smart enough for your great genius

<spacekitty420[m]> "actual true story yea" <- wut

It's actually spelled bruv.

You can keep using that suburban wallet yourself. Vik can keep seething over the Tesla failed marketing stunt. In the meantime, I will use Monerujo. Cheers.

coxring: based

r4v3r23[m]: "coxring" aka rotten thinks that 320 btc (binance daily xmr volume) is less than 4000 xmr (kraken daily xmr volume) so he thinks kraken is the leading exchange for xmr, he so stoopid but acting like he's all that with that dumb ass ego and whatnot 😹

spacekitty420[m]: who gives a fuck about CEXes or rotten

cause dumbdumb spamming that channel literally rn, aint giving a fuck about him but you're the one pinging me about that so just telling you what's up u know

both are totally irrelevant

right so why u pinging me about that then?

cuz i didn't understand your random statement

aight

<escapethe3ra[m]> "monero.observer..." <- love this. MO best in space

monerujo's new dark mode is sexy af

<Veemo> this coxring guy has to be a troll

definitely a troll.

Bitcoin’s privacy failing

(Even more)

> dunking on BTC privacy, using a Wasabi Wallet shill as reference lol

fundiswithsifu[m: here, read this. scribe.bcow.xyz/wasabi-wallet-mixing-is-broken-566f3726ff45

More than 130 people landed jail thanks to broken Wasabi mixer. Tssss.

lol.

<bridgerton[m]> "<Veemo> this coxring guy has..." <- more of an attention whore

just ignore

<fundiswithsifu[m> "Bitcoin’s privacy failing" <- you're right; the fact that this kind of bullshit is even possible is a huge fail for bitcoin

<fundiswithsifu[m> "ima_f4dc8b0.jpeg" <- Wasabi Wallet, Samourai Wallet, etc. = higher fees, slower transactions, for a very weak privacy (and you get banned from exchanges for using it)

plus so many ways to fuck it up so it gives a sense of false privacy, which is even more dangerous

how many newsletters do we have/should we have/should we fund via CCS ?

Does anybody know any P2P marketplace accepting Monero?

(legal marketplace of course)

AnonCoj looks empty

<luigi1111w> "how many newsletters do we have..." <- Monero Observer is doing a kick ass job - nothing comes close

speaking of CCS merge koe's wallet PoC
