09:34:12 <spading_slider> alright so, how do i get into blockchain development but anonymously? kinda hard to run blockchain nodes from behind 7 proxies
09:34:45 <spading_slider> a lot of things in the docs start with "run local node"
09:38:50 <sech1> https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/docs/ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md
09:43:47 <spading_slider> i know how to run local nodes over tor/i2p... but that's still MY local node that can be traced back to me
09:43:57 <spading_slider> is there no way to use a public node? like from xmrguide?
09:44:06 <spading_slider> (for development stuff)
09:44:16 <spading_slider> nvm those aren't testnet
09:44:19 <spading_slider> ffs
09:52:06 <sech1> how can it be traced back to you if you will only use tor/i2p
10:52:34 <Inge> is it hard to bootstrap ones own private testnet that isn't connected to anyone else?
10:53:24 <midipoet> Inge is preparing to launch their own cryptocurrency
10:53:44 <Inge> IngeCoinPrivate ftw
10:54:09 <midipoet> ICP. I like it.
10:58:28 <gingeropolous> Inge, https://moneroexamples.github.io/private-testnet/
11:05:09 <Inge> spading_slider: ^    thanks gingeropolous
11:12:26 <spading_slider> GODSEND
11:12:33 <spading_slider> indeed thanks gingeropolous
11:14:09 <spading_slider> also sechl: that's for the NSA to know and for us to find out the hard way
11:14:31 <sech1> too late, you're already on the list. You posted messages in Monero IRC channels
11:16:11 <spading_slider> my irc is already secure... it was just tricky to run a full damn node with the same level of security
11:16:59 <Inge> 7 proxies is so 2016
11:17:44 <spading_slider> lol that was a thing since at least a decade earlier
11:38:48 <spading_slider> you gents wouldn't happen to know a rust to c++ syntax translator would you?
11:39:03 <spading_slider> people making monero stuff in rust smh i can't make sense of it
13:58:33 <elucidator> `rust to c++ syntax translator` => that's an asp2php converter level request, very 2005ish
14:10:59 <sech1> Nothing wrong with rust, or c++, if it's in capable hands
14:13:05 <spading_slider> elucidator: i don't need to compile this, just read it... so asp2php quality will certainly do
14:13:23 <spading_slider> there seem to be plenty of options for it the other way around
14:13:27 <sech1> All relevant Monero code is C/C++
14:13:53 <sech1> Rust libraries are derived works
14:14:04 <sech1> They just implement what's in C/C++ on Monero side
14:14:33 <spading_slider> yes that's what i was referring to, derived works
14:17:04 <elucidator> spading_slider: yeah I see your point. some of the paradigms wouldn't "translate" very well. sech1 explained but even if the rust code does something new entirety, going through the official rust crash course quickly for "code reading" level would be enough. I'm doing the same thing recently myself, helps a lot with minimal effort
14:26:52 <spading_slider> well, you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks
14:28:46 <spading_slider> but if a.i. doesn't pan out i'll have to try anyway
