<k​aramel15:matrix.org> Hello. I want to ask about current monero wallets in telegram. I am developing such a webapp bot and suddenly someone has also done this? does this format of access to the wallet make sense at all

<r​brunner7:monero.social> People around here probably don't know much about such Telegram related wallets / bots. Might be that the author(s) of such software once showed up here with some implementation question and somebody remembers, or maybe not.

<r​brunner7:monero.social> In any case, I don't think that there is *any* coordination, to avoid that the same thing isn't developed twice. People do what they like, when they like, basically.

<r​brunner7:monero.social> Build something nice, pull it through, don't give up at the first difficulties or negative comments, stay on course, improve steadily over the coming months, win with a bit of luck. Even if other people build or built the same.

<k​aramel15:matrix.org> @rbrunner7:monero.social:Thanks!

using monerod via tor exit nodes potentially allows exit node over time to fingerping monero node. for example upload download speed, etc.

do people use scripts to randomise connection to peers?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> peer connections arent static

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> and no, monero doesnt use any sort of stream isolation for tor

how does monero deals with traffic fingeprinting atm?

as to stream isolation it's easy to add.

the aim of monero is to be private or btc like?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> aim of monero is to be a private currency. blocks relay privacy is a nice-to-have but not nearly as important as tx relaying from wallet<->node or node<->node

is there some paper on how monero v18 addresses traffic fingerprinting?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> nodes and wallets suppoet onion and i2p for origin transaction broadcasts

for extra anonimity one could also use reproducible build binaries?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> the release binaries are reproducible builds. This has absolutely nothing to do with anonymity though

if different lib versions are used - monerod might respond slightly different - fingerprint.

if many people use rep builds - more uniform anonimity.

bigger anonimity set.

in fact each modenod will benave slightly unique. so uniformity is idiotic. simply randomise moderod local node behaviour now and then. hence it can appear as a new node.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I read a lot of slop whats happening

feel free to show tor optimised config.
