Is there a respectable email service provider that takes Monero in lieu of having to sign up with personally identifying info or a pre-existing email address?
-
ocb
apotheon: maybe riseup.net or disroot.org
-
apotheon
riseup requires an invite code and disroot seems to have massive wait times for by-hand processing of accounts, at least, and I don't see any evidence of Monero payments offering any benefits or perhaps even being accepted
-
apotheon
In fact, it seems like they pretty much just shut down the ability to even initiate an attempt to sign up on weekends and holidays at disroot.
-
apotheon
weird
-
apotheon
a web-based service that closes on the weekends
-
ocb
apotheon: registered on disroot approved in 24-48h, not sure.
-
ocb
you actually want to pay for a good mail?
-
apotheon
I want something that will not be rejected by various services as a usable email address for signing up, but offers a way to sign up essentially anonymously (e.g. in a browser over Tor without having to, for instance, provide another email address during signup).
-
apotheon
. . . and I'm trying to avoid ProtonMail.
-
apotheon
If I have to pay, I'd like to pay with Monero so payment doesn't serve as a way to pierce the veil of privacy.
-
ocb
what about cock.li?
-
apotheon
hmm
-
apotheon
Could that, for instance, be used to get a gmail account? (just as an example of being usable to sign up for various services)
-
ocb
think they're hosted with floki, been around for a while. think they've closed free registrations due to too much spam.
-
ocb
not sure how gmail treats cock.li mails
-
apotheon
hmm
-
ocb
or just make your own mail server on a vps paid with monero for 3$ :)
-
apotheon
cock.li apparently requires an invite code
-
apotheon
I'm not especially interested in becoming a sysadmin for this.
-
ocb
maybe somebody around here has a cock.li invite, wait and see
-
apotheon
It seems deeply weird that there's no "you need nothing but a Monero address from which to pay your bills" email service.
-
ocb
hmmm.. :)
-
apotheon
Maybe I should pseudonymously create an email service with a group of shadowy figures around the world I don't know.
-
apotheon
wheefun
-
apotheon
the problem, of course, being that I don't want to be a sysadmin
-
ocb
^^^ +1
-
apotheon
. . . and my experience of small-time operations like this is that, if I'm not prepared to do *everything*, ultimately *nothing* gets done.
-
apotheon
I wouldn't pseudonymously try to drum up some co-conspirators on Libera Chat, either, of course, because it effectively prohibits real anonymous use of the IRC network.

It's kinda disappointing that Monero conference registrations seem prone to requiring a bunch of name/email/address/etc. information, though (having never run an event bigger than a free, informal roundtable meeting) I suppose there might be some legal requirements around that for being able to secure a venue and avoid someone ending up in court.
-
apotheon
disappointing, but not necessarily the fault of the people running the events, I guess

good day everyone.

Just an update, I "seem" to be mining with my extra laptop at a blistering pace of 947 H/s using 3 threads. i maybe can retire in the year 3034. But it is a lot of fun just being able to do it.
-
judge
i am using the Monero GUi wallet, and i have ./monerod running in a terminal window. Quite boring to watch. But all my system commands return that I am actually mining.
-
judge
can someone tell me advantages to using xmrig to mine, vs the monero wallet?
-
moneromooo
It's faster.
-
judge
hi moneromoo. tHank you. so do i download the binaries, input my wallet info, and run it? thats it?
-
moneromooo
Yes. Address only, no keys, ofc.
-
» moneromooo wanders off

how does the wallet sync with xmrig? Or are they completely separate? once I get a payout, then my wallet has Monero in it...and xmrig does its own thing by itself...correct?
-
dont_thread_on_m
you may want to look into p2pool
-
judge
@dont_thread_on_me thank you, yesterday I was talking about that pool. let me get some more experience solo, then I am really okay with P2Pool.
-
judge
how to do check xmrig is using my wallet address?
-
judge
okay...did some reading, and voila....found out how to add wallet address in json config file. Thank you, though!
-
judge
until tomorrow....everyone take care!
-
ocb
same!

Is the official GUI compatible with Apple's M1 hardware?
-
oranges__
I'm not really seeing much online. I've been running the GUI on intel hardware for years
-
dont_thread_on_m
I see builds only for amd64
-
dont_thread_on_m
you should try to compile it yourself
-

I'd prefer to just know before I buy an M1 machine :)
