Regarding (old) afgan ccs

🤷‍♂️

after over 1 year, my general fund alert bot was able to automatically scrape binaryFates donation announcement after checking a false change input twitter.com/WatchFund/status/1563300351784013828 (it happens rarely so each time there where small bugs, but finally, it worked)

congratulations Koe! 🥳

Vik got overshined by 3.6xmr

Outshined*

sorry vik (Cake) 😆

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Vik got overshined by 3.6xmr" <- yeah but that's from general fund! L(

Vik :chad

I hope I always get outshined. The more people give the better it is.

I have noticed 5 donations that were so small that they didn't change the total donated

(I was just pokin fun at the 3.6 xmr leapfrom :P )

LeapFrog*

<plowsof> "congratulations Koe! 🥳" <- is he in this room?

Nooe

it seems not, he is too busy carrying us all on his back, ill get the message to him

<plowsof> "it seems not, he is too busy..." <- just wanted him to know we all are rooting for him and supporting his work.

selsta: anyone in core know whats going on here?

Old news

yea this is super old

i know about fluffys arrest but not about him talking to feds about an investigation

I knew 👨‍💻

congrats. maybe related to giving over mymonero view keys?

Hey, I'll leave you to decide what he had/has access to and what could be done with it

and how does one come to this conclusion? guessing?

that makes most sense. the "fluffy has a backdoor to monero" theory didnt make sense to me

it is fluffy, he has always been into educating government on monero

well its what info he would have access to

so i'm not surprised that he took this opportunity

selsta: FluffyPony has control over the view keys of tens of thousands of wallets on MyMonero, which attracts Europol's eyes

this whole interaction was shared by fluffy's lawyer in the first place

interpol writing "can you help us?" and fluffy replying "take the view keys!!!!" makes the most sense? lol

<duggavo[m]> "FluffyPony has control over..." <- Hundred of thousands**

lol

😶

selsta: it makes sense that that is what info they would possibly want from him (that they know he has access to)

When are you guys gonna learn? Or maybe collectively you never will because that's how societies work?

In any case it's clear they were merely waiting for something better and so I'm happy to oblige

that we're

r4v3r23[m]: i would be surprised if they even know what a view key is

so would i, but that doesnt rule out them trying to get what they can from fluffy

im not accusing, just trying to understand the situation

seraphis will allow light wallets without giving up the view key

that's the real solution here

excellent

you're still gonna have people come in and do things that the community doesn't want or which take advantage of the community

But yes I agree that technology can help

I suspect I'm wasting my energy haha

.bbl

bbl :D

no bot in here

fluffy gave me a thumb drive and said to keep it safe

never checked to see what it was

<nioc> "never checked to see what it was" <- Its encrypted anyways baka

hmmm

<monerobull[m]> "Its encrypted anyways baka" <- Jap?

ofrnxmr[m]: I wanted to jokingly insult without it sounding too mean

why would you use a wallet that interacts with a server lmao

What could it possibly be serving the user that the user ca'nt already do on their own

s/ca/can/, s/nt/t/

it's a light wallet

users don't have to do client side scanning, can use it from the browser etc

there are use cases for it, but people have to be aware of the privacy implications

So compromising privacy for convenience

i.e. the monero version of metamask

we should just make the whole blockchain transparent so its even more convenient

convenience for everybody

<KNNY[m]> "why would you use a wallet..." <- Because it’s still listed on getmonero recommended list ?

i dont think official site should recommend 3rd party wallets

maybe warn against known scams

but thats it

<KNNY[m]> "So compromising privacy for..." <- That's why we have lws, which is the self-hosted version of this

<merope> "That's why we have lws, which is..." <- Is it usable ? I haven’t tried it

Yes afaik. Never tried it though

Mymonero works well with it ?

Read issues

Join community dev

<r4v3r23[m]> "maybe warn against known scams" <- a known scam ?

And or checkbwith cryptogrampy

It was specifically designed to use the MyMonero app as frontend iirc

Mymonero was doxxing lws view keys for a while

ofrnxmr[m]: Is this a known fact ? Can I read more about it

It was fixed, but there were more and more issues. Im not sure if it ever was stabilized

Known fact

How was it doxxing lws keys ? Sending it to their servers?

When you delete your custom Light Wallet Server address from the custom server field in MyMonero to change it to a different address, the app immediately attempts to connect to api.mymonero and sends ALL of your wallet details and doesn't tell you it's doing this, nor does it allow you to prevent it from happening. How am I supposed to change my server address and not send you my data?

When using the MyMonero app for Android and specifying a custom server (aka lws.sethforprivacy.com), the app ignores the set address and connects to api.mymonero.com anyways.
