Probably why umbrel is popular with non tech savy people

The Monero Subscriptions Wallet that I created is out now if anyone wants to try it: github.com/lukeprofits/Monero_Subscriptions_Wallet

did you make this all by yourself?

jollyboy[m]: Yes

big achievement

And I asked questions on reddit and got some feedback but yeah. I'm the only one working on it.

great motivation

you must be very talented

Ive never touched python

It's the only language I know well. Haha

everyone says the code is pretty, but I never thought so

maybe its easy to maintain

you would know its strong-points, I suppose

The way you write stuff is really simple and sounds natural so it's comparatively easy to understand.

some desktop apps use Vue for the user interface, I wonder if python can do that

I always though C++ was the king

but who needs to write in C? or real programmers

only** real programmers

web apps not programming, I don't think

Congrats luke, looks really interesting.

Haha yeah C++ is fast but the syntax sucks.

invalidink: Thanks

desktop app in python is probably real programming though

in your app, you have the keys to someones wallet, and use them to send to another account

is that how it works?

jollyboy[m]: When you open it it generates a new random wallet.

It is meant to be a side-wallet so it's not ever supposed to have a ton of money. Just enough to pay your monthly subscriptions. $10 for your VPN, $30 for some other software, whatver.

(The seed is saved in a text file in the same folder as the program. Obviously no more secure than your system is, but I didn't want to hassle people with storing their seed since it isn't designed to store a ton of money)

You just make a transfer to it from you main wallet like once every month or two, and then leave it up and running on your mining rig or whatever

It's cool though, because it can be used as a Patreon with no middleman and no fees. Or recurring subscriptions for services.

cool thanks for the info

content creators could use this i reckon, instead of patreon

do you have strong opinions on VPN's?

bascially your moving your trust from ISP tp them

s/tp/to/

i use ivpn, but there is thing i would do across a vpn service

s/thing/things/

s/thing/things/, s/would/wouldn't/

what do you think about Tor only?

no vpn

some people are saying that is better than the transfer of trust

honestly, I just wanted to 'believe', but its too complicated for that

nice, such a tool would be handy for an employer who has alot of people to pay in xmr at the end of every month. i would just clarify that : to make payments - you have to 'remember to turn your computer on daily'. i like that you pull a random node from monero.fail. i'd want to see more sanity checks around the 'transfer' part e.g. do not relay = true, check things e.g. transfer fee / that the usd conversion is 'correct', submit raw

<plowsof11> "nice, such a tool would be handy..." <- The usd conversation is pulled using the Monero_USD_Price pip package (which I also wrote). It gets the median price (so there are no outliers) from like 10 exchanges: github.com/lukeprofits/Monero-USD-Price

Should be like the most accurate price possible. Haha

<plowsof11> "nice, such a tool would be handy..." <- Adding a "are you sure" check would probably be a good idea (though it is hard to enter a valid wallet address and amount by accident lol). Transfer fee is just on auto.

What is the "do not relay" thing you are mentioning?

you can pass do_not_relay as a param for transfer. if you combine with get_tx_metadata, after sanity checking the amount/fee - you can submit the raw tx getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html#transfer

the daemon handles broadcasting of the raw tx getmonero.org/resources/developer-g…aemon-rpc.html#send_raw_transaction

some wallets e.g. feather will submit the raw tx to multiple nodes to prevent your tx from not being broadcast if one is misbehaving

Ahh gotcha so just for like a double-check

Be sure to check for high fees if using remore nodes

And atm it's (well, always has been) highly recommended against using "random" nodes. For the issue i just mentioned being one, and de-anon attacks being another

Feather (and others) use trusted/known community nodes

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Feather (and others) use trusted..." <- Yeah. It is suggested to use your own node or one you trust. (I put SethForPrivacy's node as the example.). I just also added a "add a random node from Monero.fail" button.

There is an active exploit

So, imo, monero.fail imo should absolutely not be trusted until at least the next HF

endor also gave some feedback @ #MoneroRecurringSubscriptions:matrix.org

Need a monero room index

There's a matrix space with all the Monero rooms

Finally one more of my Monero themed fiction short stories: rbrunner7.github.io/ring_ct.html

"Monero, the only cryptocurrency in the world that comes with short stories" :)

I really like your idea a lot rbrunner, dankon very much.

Welcome!

Unfortunately it get's harder and harder to write these stories, as a single cryptocurrency as a main story subject is a bit limited ...

Is anyone working on xmr/ltc atomic swaps ? Should be similar to btc ?

Why ltc ? Lower fees and similar on/off-ramps as btc

Smaller block time than btc too

supposedly BasicSwap have figured that out

Yeah they work

At least should

I am not sure if i have actually did a LTC swap specifically
