Anybody know who owns the Tor site Infinity Exchange?

They have Jabber for a contact point but don't allow contacts from strangers...

total shit... impossible to contact

There is somebody, they are just too lazy. lol

Decentralization to the max. Just call me on the phone ffs. lol

not me.

I'm just trying to find some booze

This town sucks. lol

Hello, I can't connect to a remote node over Tor, I always get "error: resolve: Host not found (authoritative)". I'm starting monero wallet gui with socks5 proxy 127.0.0.1:9150 (tor browser). With curl I do get an answer from the onion remote node so the problem is not from the server nor from my tor browser proxy configuration

Is monerod running as a hidden service ?

no I don't think so, I don't have a monerod service, and there is no monerod process running right now

the error also shows "asio.netdb:1 at /usr/include/boost/asio/detail/resolver_service.hpp:84"

You can try setting DNS_PUBLIC=tcp (env var). If that doesn't help, then I don't know.

shouldn't the DNS be the one from tor browser?

I restarted the gui and got "Using public DNS server(s): ..." but still same error :(

same issue as monero-project/monero-gui #3552

When you say tor browser, you don't mean tor browser but tor, right ?

I only have tor browser, not standalone tor running (that's why i'm using port 9150 and not 9050)

I'll try standalone one sec

same problem, it works with curl, but not work monero-wallet-gui (proxy 127.0.0.1:9050) this time

Are you using a hostname, or IP address for the node address ?

it's a long onion address like this: "mlj2342FKO2OK23sdlj[...]oisdfuoi43.onion"

sorry I forgot to say I was trying to connect to an onion remote node

You said "no I don't think so" to "Is monerod running as a hidden service ?"

yes

how can I check to be sure?

Ah. If you don't know, "hidden service" is the same as ".onion address".

ohh I thought you were talking about a monerod service on my machine

So your DNS queries are probably going through clearnet, and I have no idea how to check/fix this. Wait for someone else then.

no problem, thanks a lot for your time

if I connect to a clearnet address (with tor proxy enabled), then is there a loss of privacy compared to an onion node?

Or you can use torsocks maybe. With DNS_PUBLIC=tcp (since tor doesn't do UDP).

what's that? is that the standalone tor? (i tried it with sudo service tor start but that didn't seem to help)

Well, the exit node would see the cleartext traffic.

torsocks wraps a command to proxy net calls via tor.

ie, torsocks wget example.com

so I just type "DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./monero-wallet-gui"? (without socks5 proxy option?)

I think so. Assuming monero-wallet-gui see it. If not, export DNS_PUBLIC=tcp first.

I always forget carry over rules.

this is spammed in the console: WARNING torsocks[6013]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 39. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:604)

Might still work, wait a bit. Dunno which syscall 39 is.

and the public DNS isn't a loss of privacy?

If it's going via tor, no.

it seems to work, it shows synchronizing now, so it was able to connect to the node; but is it normal that is has been showing "synchronizing wallet" and "synchronizing daemon" with no sign of progress for 10 minutes? It's also written "Waiting on daemon synchronization to finish"

Dunno. Tor sync's probably slow, but who knows. You might have another problem. Wait a few hours and see I guess.

alright, thanks a lot again for your time

I see the progress now! I posted your solution here::) monero-project/monero-gui #3552#issuecomment-1313455161

How do I start monero mining? I started "monerod" and it's almost synced. And I started "monero-wallet-cli" where I get a notice: Error: Failed to setup background mining: daemon is busy. Please try again later.

yang2, has to be fully synced

ok, and how can I merge the nodes, if I run multiple instances on multiple machines?

I guess each node needs to hav an unique wallet, or can I use the same wallet on all ?

same

Mochi101: thanks

hi

I hope everyone is not being too paranoid. lol

omg... it's the CIA
