<u​ser2570:unredacted.org> "we" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> i mean all it would do is solidify how shitty pools are for decentralization, which isn't new

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> but otherwise I would view it as network participants organizing to protect their shared good. I mean, anything thats implemented to counter this is the same thing.

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> just becomes a question of how permanent and how centralizing

<d​rinksomemilk:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/DvvBgzMtHmOVwuVtadazqTeh

<d​rinksomemilk:matrix.org> Pretty big reorgs

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> Mining on p2pool, protecting Monero

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Has ruck or someone done a summary of what's going on ?

<a​lexanarcho:matrix.org> check out the logs libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lounge/20250812 - thats were he is writing his thoughts :D

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Tldr

<t​orir:matrix.org> I'm tempted to write a short answer here but there's a good chance I might get something wrong and promote misinformation, which is the last thing we need. But if you insist the TL;DR is: Qubic is spreading misinformation, there's a false rumor that they performed a 51% attack, they *are* attacking the coin but it is a selfish miner attack, not a 51% attack.

<t​orir:matrix.org> I'm not an expert, so take my take with a grain of salt. Best to read the whole thread if you want more context.

<3​21bob321:monero.social> would be good if we can consolidate qubic discussion inputs to one matrix room

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> nah, its fun to hop around

Where's the best place to follow the Qubic issue news?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> MRL lounge

Thanks.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> There is nothing like writing out full deployment instructions to show yourself how much technical debt you've accumulated in a short time: github.com/Rucknium/xmrconsensus?ta…g-xmrconsensus-on-your-own-computer

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Anyone want to try these instructions to see if they work as intended?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> can i use a remote node

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> with unrestricted rpc

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Yes, if it really has unrestricted RPC. But I didn't implement username and password for RPC requests.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Unrestricted RPC is need for this call. Restricted RPC doesn't allow it: docs.getmonero.org/rpc-library/monerod-rpc/#get_alternate_chains

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> i have unrestricted RPC in my LAN yeah

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It should work fine...if the URL wasn't hard-coded. I will try to make it easy to set as a parameter.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> thanks!

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> I want an xmr version of ENS.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> monerobull: I updated it with configurable unrestricted RPC URL and added instructions. It might work.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> entre667: Is that similar to OpenAlias for Monero?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I'll try it out today (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha)

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I'll try it out tomorrow today (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha)

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I'll try it out tomorrow (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha)

<n​oname-user0:matrix.org> ens is more decentralized as it's recorded on chain vs openalias which is hosted afaik

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> I need a simple way of buying a domain that can't be taken down and it'll point to my IPFS node gateways i'm building.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> "cant be taken down" = use onion or i2p

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> Or at least servers that'll store it to make sure of data integrity? Not sure if this makes sense?

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> Will, but must be available. onion sites can be

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> i2p is slow will need tons of mirrors

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> Must be a plausible e-commerce site for normies

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> the onion and other name services are for just in case situations

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> How censorable is ENS as compared to onion or i2p, the glowniggers take down onion sites all the time

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> Without using unstoppabledomains whats the simplest way to buy an xmr name service

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> bro "unstoppable domains" literally stopped my domains

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> domainincite.com/28356-unstoppable-…0-domains-as-alt-root-tld-goes-dark

<h​bs:matrix.org> ENS domains can have records which contain an xmr address, though I don't think any wallet client actually supports resolving them

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> does the website getting ddosed?

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> i see lots of 502 error

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> moneroconsensus.info

<e​longated:matrix.org> Lot of ppl in panic checking what’s happening , doubt it’s a ddos

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> Would need a legit unstoppabledoamins alternative, something we could download locally from github and be supported by xmr if possible

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> @rucknium:monero.social

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> thought its the deepstate

<r​ucknium:monero.social> If you cannot reach it, run the app on your own machine: github.com/Rucknium/xmrconsensus#ru…g-xmrconsensus-on-your-own-computer

<e​longated:matrix.org> Deep state loves that tool, it’s used to spread fear with nice presentation of their attack

<t​esttank:matrix.org> Unironically true, but it’s a great tool nevertheless

<e​longated:matrix.org> 100 a good tool for researchers

<e​longated:matrix.org> 100% a good tool for researchers

<d​4f5409d:matrix.org> Namecoin?

<d​4f5409d:matrix.org> namecoin.org

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> i think domains are monero's out of scope

<h​ardenedsteel:monero.social> i prefer to leaving it to other projects, such as Tor I2P etc.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> After an attempt to change the default server configs, I reverted since nothing was working. moneroconsensus.info is back up, but no guaranteed uptime.

<e​longated:matrix.org> Is that a research tool or for public information ?

<e​longated:matrix.org> If it’s for research, ppl can run it locally and you can focus on other tasks than keeping website stable

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> why not both

<e​longated:matrix.org> If you want to spread fear and panic in general public who cant understand that website, sure you can say both

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> thx.gif

<t​esttank:matrix.org> I get your pov, but it’s like people saying Monero is bad becouse “criminals use it”

<e​longated:matrix.org> They also use it, did I say this tool was made only for criminals?

<t​esttank:matrix.org> I didn’t imply that, but you cannot get to decide who can use a tool, it’s against monero ethos

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> testo01: I get what you mean but in this context, the tool is open source and can be run locally

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> its more a matter of accessibility than anything else

<e​longated:matrix.org> I said, ruck can focus on other things than keeping website stable

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It's both public info and a research tool. It's keeping users informed by giving objective information about what is happening on the network.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> I don't think I need to spend too much time on it to fix it getting overloaded, but trying a few server config changes was worth a try.

<x​mrscott:monero.social> In the coming hours certain rooms will be briefly unavailable as server and rooms are upgraded to newer versions

<x​mrscott:monero.social> @room ^

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Ruck is it a load balancing issue ?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> You could say that, but I cannot easily spread the load over more threads because the open source edition of Shiny is single-threaded: docs.posit.co/shiny-server/#simple-scheduler

Thanks xmrscott

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> john_r365: , in here apparently.

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> thats crazy there's a monero twitter account with 500k followers and we don't know who controls it

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> yes

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> one thing sure they love cake wallet

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> I'm looking for some xmr devs to help me out with setting up an IPFS network with an on chain name service

<j​ohn_r365:monero.social> Who runs the @Monero handle on Twitter/X? There's a lot of speculation going around re: Monero being at risk of a 51% attack. It might make sense to put out a twitter thread explaining what's going on and how people can do something pro-active (like mine) if they want to.

<j​ohn_r365:monero.social> If there's not time to write a fresh thread, maybe RT Tux's thread. He only has 4k followers, whereas @Monero has 500k

<j​ohn_r365:monero.social> x.com/tuxpizza/status/1955309814612980031

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I think beyond the @Monero twitter account, the most trustable source of informations is without a doubt the getmonero.org blog.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> but yeah, I would love the @Monero account to active its ass and start dismissing qubic misinfo

<j​ohn_r365:monero.social> SyntheticMoo, the true and only one: agree, but the problem is that it doesn't have immediate reach. you could put a blog post on there but it won't reach people's inboxes or news feeds for a while.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> also kind of pissing me off how many pro-xmr influencers are giving credits to qubic while they shouldn't

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> this should really be a call to mine for everyone

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> true

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> ive got my home service kinda maxed out, and don't have the capex to go build a server farm

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> It's 40°C at my home

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I can't mine

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> So respect and moral support to you

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> surely it could handle another 80 watts of heat...

<j​ohn_r365:monero.social> i'm going to tag sgp_ in case he knows someone who might be able to nudge someone to tweet something from x.com/monero that helps people understand what's going on and what they can (optionally) do if they want to do something pro-active

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> do you know how im surviving

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> nope.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm drinking fresh water 24/7 with a big fan blowing big hot air 24/7

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm taking a piss 10 times a day

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> yeah. northern hemisphere summer was smart attack window :(

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> lmao very true

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> long-term operational goal for monero is having miners within ocean depth

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> guaranteed sub 0 temperature for efficient mining

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> willing to pay up to 20k per month

<e​ntre667:matrix.org> should be able to work with Rust as well
