<3​21bob321:monero.social> I'm a real boy!

finally \o/

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> If anyone's looking for their next Rust/XMR gig, found this job posting. Goal is to create a layer 2 (?) solution for Monero using zero knowledge to establish channels with other parties. Could be interested to see if this would be feasible after FCMP++ x CARROT deployment on mainnet.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> jobsboard.zeroknowledge.fm/job/417/blockchain-zk-engineering

<r​brunner7:monero.social> From the job description: "Length of contract is approximately 3 months". A tad optimistic, if you ask me. Maybe if they can prod kaya to work on this, with all his background knowledge and Rust proficiency. Somebody else might need 1 month alone to get ready to write the first line of code ...

<r​brunner7:monero.social> "You will be working with the former lead developer of an L1 blockchain project" Hmm

<s​iren:kernal.eu> I wouldn't suggest ProtonVPN to anybody because they were caught using Tesonet's signing keys for their APKs.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> link?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> need

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> more

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> info

<s​gp_:monero.social> Is the last update on this 7 years old? reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/comment/e21tfqw

<s​iren:kernal.eu> I guess yeah

<s​iren:kernal.eu> I wouldn't touch anything tesonet with a 10 foot pole

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> have you read their answer?

<s​gp_:monero.social> If you think it's still worth discussing, you're welcome to open a discussion at discuss.privacyguides.net

<a​remor:matrix.org> Isn’t of their recommendations paid content?

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Yes, Tesonet does data mining (oxylabs.io) and HR does not sign APKs. Their excuse was that they're sharing HR with Teso and that makes zeros sense.

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Can't be arsed and I have an NDA with Tesonet for the next 4 years

<s​iren:kernal.eu> >Similarly, the ProtonVPN Android keystore mistakenly lists Tesonet as the organization name, since our Android developer was at that time formally employed through Tesonet.

<s​iren:kernal.eu> This should be your red flag. I'm baffled that you didn't do basic research and recommend this company to others.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i like the word "baffled"

<s​gp_:monero.social> No, the recommendations are definitely not paid content

<s​gp_:monero.social> Privacy Guides is run by a committee of 5 people (I'm not one of those five), and while that can be concerning, that doesn't seem to be an error that's unreconcileable (at least to me, I can't speak for the committee) over the last 7 years or whatever

<s​gp_:monero.social> However, the committee is very concerned about it's recommendations and very critical of them, since they want to get them right. So as always, suggestions are encouraged. The whole website has processes for review, appeal, etc with their GitHub and forum

<s​gp_:monero.social> Normally the NDA covers the existence of the NDA :p

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> not sure of that

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I've met several people who have publicly expressed being under NDA

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> and therefore not diving into the boundaries of it

<s​gp_:monero.social> I can't speak for every NDA ofc, just in general they do

<p​reland:monero.social> Has articmine (finally remembered the name properly) released any documents on Monero’s scalability? The only things I could find were his recent presentation at MoneroKon (which doesn’t have a transcript afaik so I can’t look at it atm), a GitHub repo that is nearly empty and hasn’t been updated in years, and random comments on Reddit

Not yet. I am working on that for FCMP++

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> ArcticMine, hello

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> [The New Oil](thenewoil.org/en) offered to interview someone in the Monero community to increase visibility for MoneroKon. Would you like to discuss further?

<n​ormaluser8900:matrix.org> why are registrations disabled on monero.social

Sure

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Do you have another form of contact? Email or Matrix?

<s​iren:kernal.eu> During employment + 5 years after quitting

<s​iren:kernal.eu> It's Hitler like that if you work for them

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> hes in this room on matrix, recan

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Could you send his username? I don't see it

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ArticMine @articmine:monero.social

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> For some reason I didn't see it when searching, sorry for the trouble

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Oh, shoot

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> I have been reading his username as "ArcticMine" this whole time...

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> When it is actually ArticMine

<s​iren:kernal.eu> > <@sgp_:monero.social> Normally the NDA covers the existence of the NDA :p

<s​iren:kernal.eu> During employment + 5 years after quitting. I can openly speak about the existence of NDA.

<s​iren:kernal.eu> > <@sgp_:monero.social> Normally the NDA covers the existence of the NDA :p

<s​iren:kernal.eu> During employment + 5 years after quitting. I can openly speak about the existence of NDA. That is not confidential information.

<s​iren:kernal.eu> During employment + 5 years after quitting. I can openly speak about the existence of NDA. That is not confidential information. In Europe in general NDAs do not restrict you from disclosing you signed one.

Has anyone had any recent success in getting onion-monero-blockchain-explorer's Dockerfile to properly build? I've tried multiple different ways, but it fails to compile the explorer. Had no luck in building the explorer outside of Docker either.

<p​reland:monero.social> Question that I’m afraid I know the answer for already: are there currently Monero nodes on I2P that are considered trustworthy enough to use in the —add-peer as a default?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> is i2p even working on monerod right now?

<p​reland:monero.social> It works, though it’s somewhat difficult to set up

<p​reland:monero.social> It’s rly only usable for transactions

<p​reland:monero.social> (Ie sending stuff over I2P

<p​reland:monero.social> (Though yes you could technically do everything over I2P, which I have spent some time doing myself)

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> mhm. i2p have a java implementation that is slow af and memory/cpu hungry. A controversial C++ version. I think we need a politically engaged rust version. I2P would achieve the trinity, from reference to community to the trash bin.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> lmao tried to launch i2pd latest and got a segmentation fault

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> You dont need

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its easy as pie to setup

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> docs.getmonero.org/running-node/monerod-tori2p/#__tabbed_1_2

<p​reland:monero.social> Tbh I think something that has been a detriment to I2P as a whole is their insistence on only using I2P for any form of development discussion. I’ve been basically running around in the dark for the last year or so because I would run into one of the following issues: I couldn’t get the router to start because internet/routing issues (such as my stint with Qubes OS), being una<clipped message>

<p​reland:monero.social> ble to maintain a consistent conversation without eventually losing it (admittedly, this issue was made worse on my own end as I didn’t keep consistent identities and kept losing the passwords for crap), and me just trying to find out *where* to look

<p​reland:monero.social> (I do)

<p​reland:monero.social> I’m not looking at running a node, which I think is the confusion

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> --add-peer? No you dont

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Why would _you_ need, but no one else?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I'm confused. You need --add-peer, without running a node?

<p​reland:monero.social> I stg—there was a repo for i2pd????

<p​reland:monero.social> Hold on I’m going through the instructions, hadn’t seen them before

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> There is an i2pd repo

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Theyre new :)

<p​reland:monero.social> No I meant the .xyz one

<p​reland:monero.social> Wait how did they find out about that one?

<p​reland:monero.social> Ah ok

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> How did who find out? Person who wrote the docs? By readin i2pd's docs

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/install/#debian

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> repo.i2pd.xyz/.help/readme.html

<p​reland:monero.social> The repo isn’t mentioned in the read the docs page (the closest thing to a mention is a link to an fdroid repo that doesn’t have the same subdomain)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> There's also a fedora repo and an ubuntu ppa

<p​reland:monero.social> Oh wait nvm

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It is mention ^

<p​reland:monero.social> My goodness it’s just the linked “here”

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> > Alternatively, you can install i2pd by using repository run by PurpleI2P community member R4SAS.

<p​reland:monero.social> I stg I’m just gonna go caveman from now on and wget | grep every website that I need info from

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> good luck

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Make sure you grep the source code, else you might miss it :P

<p​reland:monero.social> Lol

<p​reland:monero.social> It doesn’t rly change anything since what I was doing before was getting it direct from source at the GitHub repo, and since that repo is unofficial I won’t need to use it

<p​reland:monero.social> Unless I want to add a fallback URL….

<p​reland:monero.social> To make sure I understand the instructions though— they only apply if you are trying to run a node, correct? IE if you aren’t downloading the blockchain you’d need to use add-peer

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No, you dont need --add-peer

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> i2p cant be used for blockchain sync, only works for anonymous-inbound and tx-proxy, and i'd assume both of those are ignored if you use simple mode

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> --add-peer _only_ adds --tx-proxy peers

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> But you dont need --add-peer anymore, because there are i2p and tor seeds hardcoded that will find peers automatically
