05:47:10 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? 06:02:51 apotheon: maybe riseup.net or disroot.org 06:10:03 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 06:11:18 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. 06:11:24 weird 06:11:47 a web-based service that closes on the weekends 06:23:33 apotheon: registered on disroot approved in 24-48h, not sure. 06:24:22 you actually want to pay for a good mail? 06:25:40 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). 06:25:57 . . . and I'm trying to avoid ProtonMail. 06:26:34 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. 06:26:43 what about cock.li? 06:26:48 hmm 06:27:22 Could that, for instance, be used to get a gmail account? (just as an example of being usable to sign up for various services) 06:27:30 think they're hosted with floki, been around for a while. think they've closed free registrations due to too much spam. 06:28:33 not sure how gmail treats cock.li mails 06:28:48 hmm 06:29:01 or just make your own mail server on a vps paid with monero for 3$ :) 06:30:09 cock.li apparently requires an invite code 06:30:24 I'm not especially interested in becoming a sysadmin for this. 06:30:54 maybe somebody around here has a cock.li invite, wait and see 06:30:54 It seems deeply weird that there's no "you need nothing but a Monero address from which to pay your bills" email service. 06:31:30 hmmm.. :) 06:31:50 Maybe I should pseudonymously create an email service with a group of shadowy figures around the world I don't know. 06:31:56 wheefun 06:32:13 the problem, of course, being that I don't want to be a sysadmin 06:33:17 ^^^ +1 06:33:52 . . . and my experience of small-time operations like this is that, if I'm not prepared to do *everything*, ultimately *nothing* gets done. 06:38:53 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. 09:48:54 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. 09:49:09 disappointing, but not necessarily the fault of the people running the events, I guess 12:53:59 good day everyone. 12:55:06 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. 12:56:20 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. 13:04:44 can someone tell me advantages to using xmrig to mine, vs the monero wallet? 13:05:59 It's faster. 13:07:03 hi moneromoo. tHank you. so do i download the binaries, input my wallet info, and run it? thats it? 13:07:23 Yes. Address only, no keys, ofc. 13:07:33 * moneromooo wanders off 13:09:04 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? 13:11:24 you may want to look into p2pool 13:12:33 @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. 13:21:52 how to do check xmrig is using my wallet address? 13:34:51 okay...did some reading, and voila....found out how to add wallet address in json config file. Thank you, though! 13:43:00 until tomorrow....everyone take care! 13:43:10 same! 21:28:03 Is the official GUI compatible with Apple's M1 hardware? 21:28:26 I'm not really seeing much online. I've been running the GUI on intel hardware for years 21:47:38 I see builds only for amd64 21:47:44 you should try to compile it yourself 21:50:00 I'd prefer to just know before I buy an M1 machine :)
