The IRS got a hell of a lot more agent this year :D

yes

Was the caption below really necessary :D

Lol

<vikCake[m]> "how do i point my Cake to a node..." <- You can absolutely do this at home in your local network

I'd personally really like to see a simple expose-over-tor feature added to GUI. Turn it on, scan a QR to connect from a remote wallet

You mean a HS?

Better than newbs opening router ports

ofrnxmr[m]: hammer and sickle ?

Hidden service

yes

GUI would have to ship tor and edit tor configs

Yeah that would probably be bad

Or* edit

For termux node, I use a separate instance of tor running on 9055 instead of 9050

But newbs need simple ways to run Monero. If govs are clamping down, then you have to do what you have to do

But I can only get away with that because its tor from termux.. if the user is already using tor in termux = conflicts

And if gui users dont keep gui open, its obvious when they start and stop tor

But Yeah.. its possible to write a script to setup monero with a hs and a proper config.. At least for Linux..

dont we have to fix the whole 'hide monero traffic' thing first

186-277

ofrnxmr[m]: I'm not worried about anyone that can run a script

plowsof: not really possible without anon networks

cryptogrampy: im just saying its only a couple lines of code

But its not "safe" for users to bypass firewalls and routers and tunnel directly into their machine, running tor services

even with anon networks, i remember something about standard monero ports revealing what you're doing (and other things)

Without nodes having sign ssl certs they can ve MITM and all the data read in transit

was using 443 suggested? memory vague, but there was a problem there we've not fixed (but bitcoin has)

With tor exit nodes = same thing

jeffro256 knows more about it

Going over anon hidden services / I2p directly is too slow though

plowsof: convo was in dev with oo Jeffro etc. I read it the other day :p

also something about us not having username/password for rpc over tor?

rather user/pass for proxy**

The port talk is about the fact that, like torrents back in 2001, its known what ports we use

Torrent programs usually use random ports now because most isp block default tor ports.

If ips decided to block 18080, they could block monero traffic easily. They can also do packet analysis and block any ports service monero get_info stuff (all rpc ports)

Ido's*

-_- autocorrect

Isp's

Context

so we dont need to worry about windows defender blocking tor in the gui - have to solve the real problems first

Real problem = windows

"funny that no one reviewed patch for p2p connection, but everyone wants to add E2E encryption for p2p" 😆😆😆

Remenver the era where virus protectors actually made your computer slow

(Perhaps its still a thing today. I dont use windows, so I wouldnt know)

i remember the era when antivirus software sideloaded their own pre-approved mining software

ofrnxmr: If you use Windows, you just have to use the one that come with Windows. It's that good now.

And we are past "max bloatability" now. Meaning that no, you don't fell the slowdown, assuming you don't own one of theses shit cpu.

So Tldr, windows = malware AND spyware

36.86% funded, what are you waiting for?

<ajs_[m]> Like, Retweet pls, thx twitter.com/Paralelni_polis/status/…30082?t=vWJ958U42_RkLvdNjkg6uw&s=19

hey, does anyone know if any work has been put into integrating NFC into point of service machines? i'm planning on making a monero card thing and i wanna know what i'd have to work around

my general idea is:... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…7d8043580ffa98b4f98c003ef2d3cf0f35c>)

Jabster28: It's not easy. The idea has been discussed in #monero-research-lounge:monero.social . Best to go there.

Best place to sell things for xmr?

Rucknium[m]: thanks, i'll try my best 😬

The card would have to be a wallet to be spendable without giving your spend keys to the merchant

#monero-space:monero.social iirc convo about it yesterdayvthere

Anyone have experience with reddit API bots?

Python? Praw? I can 'post a reddit thresd'

Specifically something that can scan post history and determine whether a user is posting for the first time

Or, has detectable history that isn't removed

<avewoes[m]> "Best place to sell things for..." <- Anywhere

Anytime I list anything, I offer discounts if paying in xmr

needmoney90: so thats SubredditStream and then.. i dont know, ill play around with it later

ArticMine[m]: Perhaps your algo will get a real-life testcase soon twitter.com/DontTraceMeBruh/status/1603504938771877888

<Inge> "articmine: Perhaps your algo..." <- What if it bloats the blockchain

also posting it here, he got funded to work on a twitter alternative that jack seems to be using github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

1400 XMR if I understand correctly.

Revuo Monero. Issue 150: December 8 - 15, 2022. revuo-xmr.com/issue-150.html

I will rum some figures

no, it's 14 BTC

So around 1650 XMR

You're like 10 posts late :p

yes i just noticed.

Even if the btc funding is for a "better twitter", that doesn't mean he isn't also going to try some attacks against monero.

So the 1650 XMR is the total funding

or worst case scenario?

how do we know the amount?

I think the funding is for a twitter clone, not for an attack on XMR, but he has ALSO espoused the view that attacking Monero and Eth is a good thing and talking about bloating the blockchain and making it difficult to use or worse

Why pay that much when Mastodon is free XD

<Inge> I think the funding is for a twitter clone, not for an attack on XMR, but he has ALSO espoused the view that attacking Monero and Eth is a good thing and talking about bloating the blockchain and making it difficult to use or worse <---- Still it is an interesting scenarion for me to look at
