sorry for asking so much :) I started again, now the wallet seems to have corrected. Now I try to send a little amount to my exchange, since the other wallets are not updated yet to Monero, but i get a message: Error Can't create transaction: Call method failed. please advise team thanks

selsta
agus10[m]: what trezor firmware do you have?
-
agus10[m]
the last one, the 2.5.2
-
selsta
which node did you select?
-
selsta
wait
-
selsta
do you have multiple trezor related programs open?
-
agus10[m]
not really, only one trezor and only use xmr
-
selsta
i mean do you have the trezor program still open?
-
selsta
or the trezor website?
-
agus10[m]
yes its open
-
agus10[m]
the trezor suite app and the device
-
selsta
you can't use both at once
-
selsta
they interfere
-
agus10[m]
so i log out of the trezor suite?
-
selsta
yes, exit the trezor suite
-
selsta
if it doesn't work try a full computer restart where you only start monero aterwards, but that should not be necessary
-
agus10[m]
ok thanks I will try that now

<CidadoisAncap[m]> "What are we discussing?👀" <- The chatroom is revolved around xmr and xmr related subjects but it seems we have free (mostly) unrestricted speech

Lol

rayatina[m]
This is a general monero chatroom

It's not about r/monero, it's abt the crypto

At least to my knowledge

-
ofrnxmr[m]
Send all your nerossss
p2pcrowd.fund/ofrnxmr
-
jwinterm
your second sentence of third paragraph is a fragment
-
jwinterm
otherwise I would've sent 100 xmr :P
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Hey, I typed it on my phone
-
jwinterm
also not a fan of how you can't type exact amount, only slide the slider bar

also I don't think the premade payment link works in wowlet, so not sure xmr in feather would work either?
-
plowsof
Even rayatina
-
jwinterm
does that format work in official gui?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Uri should be supoorted in gui, monerujo and cake
-
jwinterm
cool, I have seen for btc/electrum, and I guess I have seen in qr form and paid with monerujo
-
jwinterm
probably
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Monerujo actually registers as a handler for monero: addresses
-
RavFX[m]
ofrnxmr: You use you're phone to code?!?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Yep
-
RavFX[m]
I use to use mine for console back like 10 years ago but I stopped doing that.
-
rayatina[m]
<plowsof> "rayatina you're not going to..." <- Alr
-
rayatina[m]
<jwinterm> "how much you looking to raise :P" <- Like 1 or 1.3-5 xmr would be enough to run a xmr node and a tor relay, that'll be enough to actually contribute to the community
-
ofrnxmr[m]
1 or 1.3-1.5 or 5 xmr?
-
rayatina[m]
ofrnxmr[m]: 1.3-1.5
-
RavFX[m]
I run all my services(Tor, XMR) without asking money.
-
RavFX[m]
Maybe I should!
-
RavFX[m]
I only ask money for services I sell like vpn or for code
-
rayatina[m]
5 would be way more than enough for my simple idea
-
rayatina[m]
ofrnxmr[m]: But i'd be able to buy school materials tho
-
rayatina[m]
Is 3tb bandwith enough for an xmr node?
-
jwinterm
you can limit bandwidth if you're concerned
-
rayatina[m]
jwinterm: It'll mainly be on a vps so bandwith wouldn't be my issue
-
rayatina[m]
Just paying for it
-
rayatina[m]
rayatina[m]: I found a vps with 1gb ram and 250 gb for like 5 bucks a month
-
rayatina[m]
It's hdd tho
-
rayatina[m]
And russian
-
RavFX[m]
Russian is fine
-
RavFX[m]
hdd will be anoying to sync the node. But if you can sync somewhere else and upload it on the server then run the node 24/7 it will be fine
-
jwinterm
can confirm it is still possible to run node on spinny hd
-
rayatina[m]
It's abt 50 or so dollars a year
-
rayatina[m]
rayatina[m]: And include taxes
-
rayatina[m]
That's like 58 bucks a year or smth

rayatina[m]
Idk eu taxes

<rayatina[m]> "I found a vps with 1gb ram and 2..." <- You've never run a node before, ever, have you

is this Windows not liking Monero, or is this some virus shit
-
selsta
Windows
-
eudaimon36[m]
never seen this before while using my wallet or while mining
-
selsta
add an exception
-
eudaimon36[m]
ok, thanks
-
eudaimon36[m]
I did
-
eudaimon36[m]
Maybe this is from adding a backup on a new NAS?
-
eudaimon36[m]
I didn't create exceptions for that
-
selsta
no, it is the anti virus saying that monero-gui contains code to mine which is potentially unwanted
-
eudaimon36[m]
hmm, why all of a sudden? Just "cause Windoz!"
-
eudaimon36[m]
lol
-
eudaimon36[m]
(shame on me, I know)
-
eudaimon36[m]
selsta: thanks!
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Because monero is all of a sudden more leet
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Now windows knows you are a monero user
-
jozsef[m]
Yep. There will come a time when similarly, the government will also learn that you are a(n undesirable) monero user, just because, say, your ISP denounces you that you have port 18080 open on your firewall.
-
jozsef[m]
Then, since monero will by then be illegal, your food ration will be immediately and automatically (decided on by some AI) decreased and there will be no need for you to go stand in line the next day for your usual weekly ration of half a kilo of flour and sugar.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Microsoft just reports your filenames "monerod.exe" to their virus analyticis tracking whatever lolo
-
jozsef[m]
Or at least that's what you think. 😝
-
ofrnxmr[m]
They get their metrics from somewhere 🫣
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Anyway, ive got no love for windows and no sympathy for windows users issues.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Just me
-
jozsef[m]
I run a node at my home computer, of course. From my office, and from my phone if I connect to the company wifi, I can not access my computer at home. Not even a web page. Naturally. Since nodes with ports like 18080 open are a security threat.
-
rayatina[m]
<ofrnxmr[m]> "Microsoft just reports your..." <- Deletung system32 is a good solution

making a new OS from scratch, not only is time consuming, but you will also need to make drivers for all the shit that exist and also port or make applications. At the end you also endup with same results.

If anyone is on there and can confirm that would be great.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
What telegram chat?
-
jwinterm
I was invited into their telescam channel and stayed for like 3 min cause it was gross
-
jwinterm
I just pinged them on oftc and let them know about concerns
-
jwinterm
but they're not very active there
-
SerHack
on d/darknetmarkets someone reported that their sub has been emptied and mod deleted their accounts
-
jwinterm
I just DM them on twitter too
-
needmoney90
ofrnxmr[m]: This message was in @monero on telegram.
-
needmoney90
Obviously I will be very happy if this was a false alarm.
-
tobtoht[m]
<plowsof> "Maybe tobtoht can confirm?" <- Yeah, they tried to clean their sub.
-
tobtoht[m]
"There is little explanation for such actions if not to clean house and perform an exit scam. Without any explanation from the admin, Dread staff urges nobody use Majestic Bank."

I am happy that some d/darknetmarket drama brought DiegoSalazar[m] and needmoney90 back into this room at the same time
-
jwinterm
let us hope that many more exit scams will force them to grace us with their presence :D
-
needmoney90
I noted some concerns on telegram that I couldn't verify, asked diego, then came here to clarify after he asked here.

I'm still waiting for an e-mail by MajesticBank for a code audit :(

I've been waiting long time for 2023

They wanted all the wownero

ready for funding - i did my part

NorrinRadd
selsta i think you said recently that lack of developer contribution is a big concern of yours regarding Monero. Why is it i don't see more of a push to create developer docs and training then?
-
NorrinRadd
perhaps i'm just missing it, but it seems to be a gap. i know 1 guy was working on something about 6 months ago but i don't see his name or his project mentioned too much
-
NorrinRadd
RavFX[m] it's custodial
-
r4v3r23[m]
wtf hasnt majestic been donating loads to monero projects and community?
-
selsta
r4v3r23[m]: yes does not make much sense
-
r4v3r23[m]
how would they even exit scam? they are a swap not full on exchange
-
selsta
NorrinRadd: don't think we can "train" people to become monero developers
-
selsta
they need some developer experience in the first place, ideally university degree or similar
-
vikCake[m]
r4v3r23[m]: Doesn’t make sense
-
r4v3r23[m]
selsta: MB was working on their own wallet last i spoke to them
-
vikCake[m]
r4v3r23[m]: Yes they told us that too
-
needmoney90
I am not saying it make sense, I am just relaying the red flags
-
needmoney90
I do not know what is going on
-
ofrnxmr[m]
I wouldnt put it past users to be using the old chain
-
r4v3r23[m]
something doesnt add up
-
NorrinRadd
I've been calling attention to majesticbank's corrupt exchange quotes on their API for months. I feel validated
-
r4v3r23[m]
also the CCS balance isnt updating
-
r4v3r23[m]
its been over 10 blocks
-
r4v3r23[m]
plowsof: whos in charge
-
nioc
luigi
-
NorrinRadd
r4v3r23[m] it's not an atomic swap. theyr'e the middle man. all they have to do is not pay up
-
nioc
afaik
-
r4v3r23[m]
r4v3r23[m]: luigi1112:
-
nioc
maybe it's 1111 or 1111w
-
vikCake[m]
NorrinRadd: But that kind of scam would only last a day max right?
-
selsta
yes, they would take the money from a couple exchanges but still doesn't add up
-
r4v3r23[m]
NorrinRadd: so it must have been a massive swap for it to even be worthwhile
-
r4v3r23[m]
anyway im reserving judgement
-
vikCake[m]
Me too… doesn’t make sense
-
NorrinRadd
vikCake[m] how long until everyone that is loyal to them finds out? could be a long time. but i wouldn't be surprised if this is just people on the old chain either, as they make more money by being honest
-
needmoney90
Reserve judgement, but do not use until you have no questions.
-
vikCake[m]
NorrinRadd: Agreed
-
NorrinRadd
selsta yeah i do mean on-boarding uni grads. same as other coins are doing, but without having to buy them out. just good docs, code walk-throughs, classes even. a la chaincode
-
selsta
other coins have millions in funds monthly lol
-
NorrinRadd
also some chains have stuff on udacity, etc
-
selsta
I'm quite sure that is for programming on top of their chain and not for programming the core implementation itself
-
jwinterm
min
-
selsta
but I did not look into it
-
jwinterm
sry wrong window
-
Rucknium[m]
NorrinRadd: This can be done. Do you have the time and capability of doing it? Submit a CCS funding proposal if you need funds.
-
Rucknium[m]
Monero is permisionless. There are no CEOs for the core protocol.
-
NorrinRadd
selsta chaincode is core specifically and stuff on udemy is "building transactions" which is part of core as well... wallets at the least
-
NorrinRadd
Rucknium[m] i can't say i have the capability at this time. i'm interested in being a consumer of such material
-
Rucknium[m]
-
selsta
i don't know, we would just need a couple more experienced devs :/
-
Rucknium[m]
^ Since posting this, I joined the MAGIC Monero Fund committee and started recruiting researchers.
-
DiegoSalazar[m]
<NorrinRadd> "r4v3r23 it's not an atomic swap...." <- this. Why are people saying it's non-custodial?
-
NorrinRadd
idk
-
NorrinRadd
they take custody and then (normally) they pay you in return
-
DiegoSalazar[m]
yes
-
DiegoSalazar[m]
they are literally custodial in the sense that they take custody of your funds after sending
-
NorrinRadd
Rucknium[m] yeah that seems to be the working methodology. monero doesn't need central leadership per se, but there can still be other organizations that take it upon themselves to develop the next gen of developers
-
vikCake[m]
DiegoSalazar[m]: Yep.. even if for a few mins. Same as our providers.
-
Rucknium[m]
NorrinRadd: I think documentation and training materials are badly needed. It's a question of someone(s) taking the initiative to do what is needed.
-
selsta
DiegoSalazar[m]: I meant they don't have some custodial wallet service or whatever that would allow them to do a larger exit scam
-
selsta
their exchange is custodial yes
-
gonbatfire[m]
Technically they (and any other exchange like them) can retain funds and ask for KYC n' stuff, not sure what's surprising
-
gonbatfire[m]
If that worries you, just do low amount txs
-
kayabaNerve
IIRC Majestic Bank did have deposit functionality
-
kayabaNerve
As in, you didn't always have to instant exchange, yet could deposit to an account
-
kayabaNerve
> There is little explanation for such actions if not to clean house and perform an exit scam. Without any explanation from the admin, Dread staff urges nobody use Majestic Bank.
-
kayabaNerve
Beyond cleaning their sub, looks like they set a different moderator for whatever reason, with reports being ~12h old.
-
kayabaNerve
If this is an exit scam, it's a horrible one. They didn't even try to re-assure users. It almost seems like they closed down in a rush.
-
kayabaNerve
Not to justify their behavior/say they didn't end up scamming anyone, as it looks like they did.
-
selsta
oh ok I did not know that they had a deposit functionality, I don't use swap exchanges in general
-
kayabaNerve
I looked at them a while ago because of their MoneroKon sponsorships
-
plowsof
r4v3r23: thanks for reporting, can anyone confirm deposits are not appearing on the ccs page? i dont have access to a wallet right now to restore the ccs wallet / double check - keys here
moneroexamples/generic-xmr-scanner 27f9915
-
kayabaNerve
Thankfully never used them
-
cryptogrampy[m]
<ofrnxmr[m]> "Is it working yet?" <- lol
-
cryptogrampy[m]
Definitely not.
-
cryptogrampy[m]
Also, does anyone know if majestic bank is working? I just send 20k xmr to swap for cumcoin and have been waiting for 12 hours now (approximately)
-
kayabaNerve
cryptogrampy[m]: send me 10k xmr and i'll be sure it's included in the next block, just for you!
-
cryptogrampy[m]
did anyone listen in on the thorchain discord event today? i wasn't able to make it
-
cryptogrampy[m]
it was apparently 'privacy coin' focused
-
kayabaNerve
Should I post on /r/Monero or /r/xmrtrader they exit scammed?
-
kayabaNerve
I feel they were active enough on /r/Monero with their advertising we should have a post there
-
kayabaNerve
... xmrtrader with a crosspost to /r/Monero, mods are welcome to delete the crosspost if they disagree
-
Rucknium[m]
IMHO, someone should attempt to confirm the information before spreading it further.
-
kayabaNerve
Rucknium[m]: I would've agreed if it wasn't for the fact Dread is definitive in their statements here
-
Rucknium[m]
Which may require sacrifice of a few piconeros.
-
kayabaNerve
Which sure, that's a distinct community, yet MajesticBank was a DNM without question.
-
kayabaNerve
It was just one exposed to the clearnet with donations accordingly.
-
kayabaNerve
So given the history with such groups, and how the discussions there are definitive...
-
kayabaNerve
But yes, I posted "accused of" "find another exchange" in case.
-
Rucknium[m]
What's the p-value on this hypothesis? :P
-
kayabaNerve
But I personally believe even if they do come back, their reputation is ruined at this point.
-
kayabaNerve
Also, they did wipe their account and subreedit.
-
kayabaNerve
*subdreadit
-
kayabaNerve
... subdread?
-
kayabaNerve
idk really don't use it
-
kayabaNerve
-
kayabaNerve
I do believe due to the amount of advertising they did on /r/Monero, this could be argued as justified, but I do really respect the tech/trade border in our community
-
kayabaNerve
reddit.com/r/xmrtrader/comments/www…_bank_accused_of_exit_scamming_find for the xmrtrader post which doesn't say anything definitively but does raise awareness, which is properly placed and standing
-
kayabaNerve
Apparently MB has no search results on /r/xmrtrader, yet several on /r/Monero

Last comment a month ago?
-
plowsof
ill reserve judgement until i hear their side (dread mod account could have been hacked/phished) their telegram channels last message is from aug 15th , tumble weeds (3000 members in there)
-
ofrnxmr[m]
I'm not passing judgement :P.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Majestic was active on GitHub within the last couple weeks
-
vikCake[m]
Last i heard from them was aug18
-
Rucknium[m]
r4v3r23: I see donations of 0.0001, 4.8, 0.1, and 0.1312 XMR to the Seraphis CCS address with the CCS view key so far
-
plowsof
so its definitely not updating , weird
-
Rucknium[m]
I think there is often a lag. Not sure why
-
kayabaNerve
plowsof: Their account could've been hacked/the Dread mods could be lying. The issue is two-fold:
-
kayabaNerve
1) Reports of not paying out, not from Dread, yet from users.
-
kayabaNerve
2) Lack of statement from MB on any other account.
-
kayabaNerve
It's been ~24 hours since the initial questions opened about missing trades and ~12 hours since they were labelled an exit scam. They should've commented by now.
-
kayabaNerve
It seems like they exited, left the site up as a scam, yet also nuked their account (firing a flare it was a scam which is... weird as hell).
-
kayabaNerve
I would say it absolutely shouldn't be used until this is resolved, and people need to be aware of an active incident.
-
kayabaNerve
While I can hope an exchange won't scam and they'll come back, that doesn't mean we can ignore it, even if we do wait to pass judgement.
-
kayabaNerve
So I won't say they have exit scammed, yet I will say they've been accused and it's likely
-
vikCake[m]
What’s their telegram group ?
-
kayabaNerve
They have a Telegram user, MajesticBank, which they supposedly used. I don't know what groups DiegoSalazar[m] is referring to though.
-
plowsof
also Majesticsupport ( the groups title is Exchange XMR BTC - MajesticBank ) unsure how to link, they dont have the verified symbol on their users also
-
vikCake[m]
plowsof: Just saw u in there 😂
-
kayabanerve[m]
So uh
-
kayabanerve[m]
You guys hear of atomic swaps?
-
kayabanerve[m]
There's no middleman so this type of stuff can't happen 👀
-
vikCake[m]
<kayabanerve[m]> "There's no middleman so this..." <- We are all waiting for u
-
vikCake[m]
:)
-
kayabanerve[m]
I was hoping to draw more attention to noot's ETH atomic swap work :p
magicgrants.org/noot-ETH-XMR-Atomic-Swaps We're still trying to raise funds for that 👀
-
nioc
need atomic swaps between xmr and fiat
