is there a way to launder my bitcoin that are marked and get random bitcoin

i heard something about atomic swaps

Laundering is a bad term suggesting bad things. We should never do any bad things

If you want to purchase XMR however, a privacy coin that's quite good at its job, atomic swaps provide a trustless way to do so from BTC

I believe most of the liquidity is currently via COMIT's work which is here: github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap

would the swap finish within an hour?

i juset want to make some btc traceless. this seems complicated

what if i am not a coder?

How large is the Monero blockchain?

a guess is 125GB and pruned ~1/3 that

I'd estimate a swap to take 50-60 minutes. It requires 2 BTC confirms AND 10 XMR confirms. Those are each 20 minutes and don't overlap

kish`: mine is exactly 40GB

say I use comit's work to swap BTC to XMR, how do I get XMR to BTC?

selsta, I prefer where I don't have to download blockchains

you can also use a remote node

but I'm not familiar with atomic swaps

kish`: You swap it back by offering them as a provider?

kayabaNerve, I am not sure how to do that. It does seem a bit complicated.

All I can suggest is reading the docs

How would you call the process of relaying transactions before Dandelion++? The "drop of oil" propagation?

Before Dandelion++? I'm not sure about a specific term, I think it's just called broadcast.

I tried to name it in a funny way

SerHack, i think its called floodfill. quora.com/How-do-Bitcoin-transactio…e-internet-is-a-peer-to-peer-system

or gossip

gingeropolous: great!

I have a little server that I'm using to run monerod back in my server closet. I want to run my monero wallet on my laptop and use the little server as my monero node. Is this the "right" way, or are my fingers stuck in a toaster?

I added my server's IP to the node section of my monero wallet and I seem to be unable to connect. Wondering what I have to pass to monerod to get my node connecting.

I tried passing a bunch of -rpc-server type flags to monerod and still am unable to connect using the gui wallet on my laptop.

You need to make sure that the rpc port on monerod is reachable by your wallet (but also NOT exposed to the internet! Otherwise other people could mess with your node!)

The relevant parameters are --rpc-bind-ip and --rpc-bind-port

If your server is not in your home network, then you'll need to set up either a vpn (using something like wireguard), or some kind of port forwarding via ssh

If it's on your home network, then just use --rpc-bind-ip and bind it to your server's local ip address (it's bound to 127.0.0.1 by default, so it's not reachable by any other computer)

merope, just so I'm clear. I want to expose 18080 to the internet to make my node contribute to the greater good of monero. But I want to have 18081 (or whatever port I choose for RPC) to be only open to my LAN?

This is the canonical way.

Even if you don't expose 18080 you're still contributing to the network, the only difference is that your node will have to initiate connections with others first

RPC binds to lo by default, while P2P binds to 0.0.0.0 by default.

But yes, that's the standard approach

Do we have an orderbook somewhere?
