00:09:08 "we" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 00:16:37 i mean all it would do is solidify how shitty pools are for decentralization, which isn't new 00:17:32 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. 00:18:02 just becomes a question of how permanent and how centralizing 10:11:06 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/DvvBgzMtHmOVwuVtadazqTeh 10:13:41 Pretty big reorgs 10:22:37 Mining on p2pool, protecting Monero 10:47:15 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Has ruck or someone done a summary of what's going on ? 10:48:49 check out the logs https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lounge/20250812 - thats were he is writing his thoughts :D 10:51:44 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Tldr 10:52:41 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. 10:53:30 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. 11:53:42 <3​21bob321:monero.social> would be good if we can consolidate qubic discussion inputs to one matrix room 12:07:47 nah, its fun to hop around 13:27:09 Where's the best place to follow the Qubic issue news? 13:27:28 MRL lounge 13:27:49 Thanks. 14:09:44 There is nothing like writing out full deployment instructions to show yourself how much technical debt you've accumulated in a short time: https://github.com/Rucknium/xmrconsensus?tab=readme-ov-file#running-xmrconsensus-on-your-own-computer 14:10:01 Anyone want to try these instructions to see if they work as intended? 14:13:14 can i use a remote node 14:13:20 with unrestricted rpc 14:15:29 Yes, if it really has unrestricted RPC. But I didn't implement username and password for RPC requests. 14:17:00 Unrestricted RPC is need for this call. Restricted RPC doesn't allow it: https://docs.getmonero.org/rpc-library/monerod-rpc/#get_alternate_chains 14:17:10 i have unrestricted RPC in my LAN yeah 14:17:58 It should work fine...if the URL wasn't hard-coded. I will try to make it easy to set as a parameter. 14:19:43 thanks! 14:36:40 I want an xmr version of ENS. 14:42:03 monerobull: I updated it with configurable unrestricted RPC URL and added instructions. It might work. 14:42:38 entre667: Is that similar to OpenAlias for Monero? 14:42:49 I'll try it out today (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha) 14:42:57 I'll try it out tomorrow today (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha) 14:43:03 I'll try it out tomorrow (I already tried earlier this week without instructions but failed haha) 14:51:06 ens is more decentralized as it's recorded on chain vs openalias which is hosted afaik 15:18:33 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. 15:19:28 "cant be taken down" = use onion or i2p 15:19:37 Or at least servers that'll store it to make sure of data integrity? Not sure if this makes sense? 15:20:02 Will, but must be available. onion sites can be 15:20:14 i2p is slow will need tons of mirrors 15:20:54 Must be a plausible e-commerce site for normies 15:21:15 the onion and other name services are for just in case situations 15:45:59 How censorable is ENS as compared to onion or i2p, the glowniggers take down onion sites all the time 16:03:45 Without using unstoppabledomains whats the simplest way to buy an xmr name service 17:46:08 bro "unstoppable domains" literally stopped my domains 17:46:58 https://domainincite.com/28356-unstoppable-domains-stops-over-116000-domains-as-alt-root-tld-goes-dark 17:49:45 ENS domains can have records which contain an xmr address, though I don't think any wallet client actually supports resolving them 17:58:55 does the website getting ddosed? 17:59:09 i see lots of 502 error 17:59:28 https://moneroconsensus.info/ 18:00:40 Lot of ppl in panic checking what’s happening , doubt it’s a ddos 18:01:14 Would need a legit unstoppabledoamins alternative, something we could download locally from github and be supported by xmr if possible 18:01:15 @rucknium:monero.social 18:01:17 thought its the deepstate 18:02:02 If you cannot reach it, run the app on your own machine: https://github.com/Rucknium/xmrconsensus#running-xmrconsensus-on-your-own-computer 18:02:50 Deep state loves that tool, it’s used to spread fear with nice presentation of their attack 18:06:52 Unironically true, but it’s a great tool nevertheless 18:07:21 100 a good tool for researchers 18:07:24 100% a good tool for researchers 18:08:43 Namecoin? 18:08:45 https://www.namecoin.org/ 18:09:37 i think domains are monero's out of scope 18:09:58 i prefer to leaving it to other projects, such as Tor I2P etc. 18:17:11 After an attempt to change the default server configs, I reverted since nothing was working. https://moneroconsensus.info/ is back up, but no guaranteed uptime. 18:17:55 Is that a research tool or for public information ? 18:18:44 If it’s for research, ppl can run it locally and you can focus on other tasks than keeping website stable 18:19:12 why not both 18:21:37 If you want to spread fear and panic in general public who cant understand that website, sure you can say both 18:23:39 thx.gif 18:34:28 I get your pov, but it’s like people saying Monero is bad becouse “criminals use it” 18:36:56 They also use it, did I say this tool was made only for criminals? 18:39:14 I didn’t imply that, but you cannot get to decide who can use a tool, it’s against monero ethos 18:39:42 testo01: I get what you mean but in this context, the tool is open source and can be run locally 18:39:48 its more a matter of accessibility than anything else 18:40:15 I said, ruck can focus on other things than keeping website stable 18:52:09 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. 18:52:38 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. 20:07:44 In the coming hours certain rooms will be briefly unavailable as server and rooms are upgraded to newer versions 20:08:52 @room ^ 20:25:00 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Ruck is it a load balancing issue ? 20:45:28 You could say that, but I cannot easily spread the load over more threads because the open source edition of Shiny is single-threaded: https://docs.posit.co/shiny-server/#simple-scheduler 20:57:37 Thanks xmrscott 21:18:45 john_r365: , in here apparently. 21:18:58 thats crazy there's a monero twitter account with 500k followers and we don't know who controls it 21:19:14 yes 21:19:23 one thing sure they love cake wallet 21:19:26 I'm looking for some xmr devs to help me out with setting up an IPFS network with an on chain name service 21:19:47 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. 21:20:00 If there's not time to write a fresh thread, maybe RT Tux's thread. He only has 4k followers, whereas @Monero has 500k 21:20:01 https://x.com/tuxpizza/status/1955309814612980031 21:20:24 I think beyond the @Monero twitter account, the most trustable source of informations is without a doubt the getmonero.org blog. 21:20:52 but yeah, I would love the @Monero account to active its ass and start dismissing qubic misinfo 21:21:13 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. 21:21:18 also kind of pissing me off how many pro-xmr influencers are giving credits to qubic while they shouldn't 21:21:23 this should really be a call to mine for everyone 21:21:37 true 21:21:51 ive got my home service kinda maxed out, and don't have the capex to go build a server farm 21:22:17 It's 40°C at my home 21:22:19 I can't mine 21:22:36 So respect and moral support to you 21:23:00 surely it could handle another 80 watts of heat... 21:23:17 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 21:23:19 do you know how im surviving 21:23:31 nope. 21:23:37 I'm drinking fresh water 24/7 with a big fan blowing big hot air 24/7 21:23:45 I'm taking a piss 10 times a day 21:24:25 yeah. northern hemisphere summer was smart attack window :( 21:24:45 lmao very true 21:27:20 long-term operational goal for monero is having miners within ocean depth 21:27:41 guaranteed sub 0 temperature for efficient mining 21:31:01 willing to pay up to 20k per month 21:31:36 should be able to work with Rust as well
