Revuo Monero. Issue 141: October 6 - 13, 2022. revuo-xmr.com/issue-141.html

revuoxmr: Nice

revuoxmr: the onion doesn't load for me. Using the TOR browser I can get to the https site. TOR detects that there is an onion available and asks me if I want to switch to that. But they it can't load it: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at trocadorfyhlu27aefre5u7zri66gudtzdyelymftvr4yjwcxhfaqsid.onion.

*then

revuoxmr: sorry I realise now I meant to reply to the author(s) of the trocador service (linked in the Revuo Monero Issue 141)

MajesticExchange, I get "Deceptive site ahead" when trying to go to your site with Firefox.

Which TLD do you use? With majesticbank.sc I don't get such a warning, with ".is" I get one - but is that even correct?

(I got that .is from a screenshot today about a possible scam regarding Cake Wallet, where people were adviced to change their remote nodes.)

majesticbank.su exists as well, and does not get me a warning either

rbrunner, the .is domain which comes up as the first search result with DDG.

The two that you provided are fine here too.

Hmm, but majesticbank.is does not even seem to exist right now?

majesticbank.is has been reported as a deceptive site. You can report a detection problem or ignore the risk and go to this unsafe site.

Yup, and if I try that, I only get an error message DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN in Chrome, but no site whatsoever. What do you get?

I mean, if you try to go ahead to the site despite the warning?

(Of course ok if you *don't* want to go there ...)

I never went.

Maybe .is was once their's, they let it expire, a scammer took it for a while, but vanished now?

possibly... no idea

It is one of my little joys in life to go to such "deceptive sites" :)

More often than not they are already deleted, e.g. fishing pages

It gets confusing a bit. They also have majesticbank.ru

So .ru, .sc, .su are ok, but .is not?

I guess

I find this "branding" of Majestic a bit confusing. Normally you concentrate everything to one domain. Maybe there are "historical" reasons for the various domains?

There definitely should be their site at that address, as this shows: whois.domaintools.com/majesticbank.is

Is there a way to move Monero between wallets with no transaction fee, assuming both wallet's private keys are known? (Curious if I can rotate keys while keeping all my balance, without having to pay an intermediate fee.)

Does sweep_all incur a fee?

Looks like it

Maybe not?

Sweeping involves a transaction like any other, the only difference is that it allows you to completely clear a wallet

Is there any practical difference between sending a transaction normally for the entire balance versus sweeping?

Er, I guess any difference at all

The protocol allows for any fee, including 0, but you'd need a custom wallet implementation to create such a tx, and then modify your node so that it doesn't refuse to relay it due to the low fee - but other non-modified nodes would still refuse to relay it further, so you'd have to mine it yourself

Sweeping = spending one/all inputs entirely, so that the amount you send is exactly the sum of all inputs minus the txfee

Right, but is this any different from just sending <wallet balance - tx fee> normally, is sweeping just a shortcut to that?

In a "normal" transaction you decide manually how much you want to spend - but since you don't know how much the fee will be, you might have some dust left in the wallet afterwards

Yes, sweeping is just a shortcut

Other than that, it's a regular tx

Is the fee not decided at broadcast time by the wallet/user, merope? I don't understand your "you don't know how much the fee will be" part, then -- unless you mean since the fee is automatically determined by communicating with the node?

The official wallets (and those who use the standard monero library) don't let you specify the exact fee amount like in other cryptos. Instead, the fee is determined dynamically, and you can select a "priority level" multiplier if you want

And yes, the base fee is determined by the node

(In fact, there have been some malicious public nodes who have made users spend very large amounts in fees because they didn't doublecheck)

(More specifically: the node tells you the base fee/kb, which you then multiply by the kb of your tx and by your priority multiplier)

guys, hope i dont get kicked for this....but can anyone throw out an exchange or 2 that doesnt do KYC?

trying to get started and and lets face it, using traditional exchanges flies in the face of what XMR is meant for

exactly - but people dont really care

ugh, that bad, eh?

For crypto to crypto ? Cex?

Tradeogre and kucoin

Fiat to crypto, localmonero and bisq

no, fiat to crypto

wierd, it says you can send with etransfer from your bank, but then says the above?

NSA is very old, indeed.

Was reading this article: 0x0.st/ovEU.pdf

It mentions Sputnik, the Soviet satellite.
