<t​esta:cthd.icu> Does a monero node just use TCP for the p2p port, or should UDP be opened as well?

TCP only

<t​esta:cthd.icu> thanks

<4​rkal:monero.social> Has anyone thought about making a service where you pay in hashes? Something like a paid API where you mine and get creds or something.

<4​rkal:monero.social> Might not be profitable but fun as an experiment

<4​rkal:monero.social> There was the pay for rpc thingy right?

<l​ukeprofits:matrix.org> Nicehash?

<r​brunner7:monero.social> web.archive.org/web/20231006185124/…rooutreach.org/stories/RPC-Pay.html

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> I thought of that a while ago

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Pay as you rpc

Turn rpc nodes into wikipedia

After syncing 1000 blocks you have to watch 2 unskippable adverts

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Thats the free version

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Pay to have no ads

Random high fee for the free loaders!

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Then have tiers for sync speeds

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Dan’s ideas©️

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Patent pending

<s​weetbearkiller:monero.social> plowsof and dan doing hash as you rpc

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Doing a different hash

<s​weetbearkiller:monero.social> ppl would mine with botnets lmao

<r​ucknium:monero.social> RPC pay is being removed due to complexity and no one using it. Primo was supposed to be a general use of the pay-with-hashes idea: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/…at-is-primo-private-monero-payments

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> New website captcha

Services with paywalls suck

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Monero gui with built in ads

hot local monero users in your area

#controversial lol i think the realistic concern ive seen is that blockchain surveillance companies will just host free to use high performance nodes without any of this

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Scaled wrong

<s​njay:mozilla.org> No. 👺 It never was. (IMO)

<s​njay:mozilla.org> Wrong emoji lol

<s​njay:mozilla.org> LMAO one could use the ad rev to fund CCS LOL

<s​njay:mozilla.org> hot local monerochans in your area FTFY

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Oh ok lol, what else should you use then?

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I wanted to use 🙅‍♂️ because he was talking about a HW wallet. Best HW wallet is an airgapped Tails on a 10 y/o thinkpad.

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Oh ok, could you run that on something like Proxmox?

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Is this what I would use with an offline device? airgap.it/offline-device

<s​njay:mozilla.org> No. What I did to safely create an xmr wallet was as follows.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> 1. I used a live boot of ubuntu on a laptop not connected to the internet

<s​njay:mozilla.org> 2. I generated seeds, noted down the seeds, address and viewkey

<s​njay:mozilla.org> 3. I generated a view only wallet on my desktop connected to the internet

<s​njay:mozilla.org> 4. I bought some XMR from LM, got it sent to my XMR wallet. Confirmed that I received it using my hot viewonľy wallet

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I did all this so I can be sure that my seeds are not exposed to the internet.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I do not trust HW wallets because even buying them increases the chances of going on a list.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> If you really want to use a mobile app I coukd reco Anonnero.. Using anything else just broadens the attack surface.

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Ok I see, which view only wallet do you use for destkop?

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I used monero-wallet-cli from getmonero.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I think the gui wallet can also be used for view only.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I later etched my seeds on think stainless steel card and buried it in my garden lol

<s​njay:mozilla.org> Think -> thick

cool idea, where do you live?

<s​njay:mozilla.org> @dsc_ huh?!

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Oh wow, how do you use your XMR though when you want to pull it out?

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Like if you see something on your phone on monero markets?

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I dont want to pull it out before my children finish college.

<s​njay:mozilla.org> I do have a hot wallet with a few millineros on my iPhone.

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Ok for hot wallet whats good to use, Cake wallet?

<s​njay:mozilla.org> Yea.

<r​une_door:matrix.org> Is there a minimum you like to keep on a hot wallet? Say like 1k maybe?
