Right now it seems that the alliance is only asking for money and doesn't have much history of doing anything Matt[m]12

<Melissa> "for a proofread job" <- If you aren't interested in working with this guy in the future, let me know. If I can complete the work you did competently I would be happy to complete tasks for this guy for XMR.

Anyone have thoughts? arxiv.org/pdf/2212.12372.pdf

Chinese researchers claim to be able to break RSA-2048

Monero uses Ed25519 but that is also vulnerable to QC attacks

here's an article: decrypt.co/118529/chinese-researche…d-encryption-with-quantum-computers

Looks very promising as a fully open source wallet for privacy coins

grr

<politicalweasel[> "Anyone have thoughts? https://..." <- it's ridiculous.. China would never openly announce they've broken RSA.. but it'll happen regardless in the next decade

Anyone use the agora or localmonero app on android? Does the mobile app notify you when someone wants to do a trade with you?

breaking RSA will be the nail in the coffin of modern civilization

Tldr: the sky is not falling just yet

<c0mmando[m]1> "it's ridiculous.. China would..." <- Indeed they haven't

From what I've been told by people smarter than me, the main point of their paper is about using less qbits than other methods would need (a sublinear amount) - which they demonstrated on a 48-bit key

And there are a bunch of yet-unresolved ifs buts and caveats that start to show up when you move to larger key sizes

(Something about trading off spacial complexity (ie the smaller number of qbits you have to build) vs the time complexity (their proposed algorithm runs in exponential time, so it slows down a ton for bigger keys))

Guys

I have a question

Is there any self-hostable patreon alternative that takes xmr or btc?

I wanna set that up for xmr.beauty

@spirobel:matrix.org is working on a Monero Patreon: monerochan.cash/tools

anarkiocrypto[m]: Is it usable?

Like can i just set it up and let the donations come in?

It looks like it already works with the Discourse forum software. So you could make a forum category for your articles/videos/etc. and members pay to view the content.

anarkiocrypto[m]: I could do that to help get money to buy vpses for more resource-intensive services

If you want donations (and not subscriptions for content, like Patreon) you could use BTCPayServer, BitcartCC, Plowsof's wishlist or simply a Monero address with view key.

anarkiocrypto[m]: This

<anarkiocrypto[m]> "If you want donations (and not..." <- I also need a way to accept payment for my vpn instead of manually waiting for payments then sending them the ovpn file

WooCommerce + MoneroIntegrations.com + an auto-fulfill/digital products plugin would probably be easiest.

Unless BTCPayServer or BitcartCC include an auto-fulfill feature.

Or maybe you could use Spirobel's Monero Patreon for this, you could ask him about it.

Woocommerce+ serhack plugin

Sers I just want to let all you know that my node successfully synced this time and I'm already trying to set a online store using it

Hi All :-) Do you know if fluffypony's web wallet is still operational, I haven't used it in years?

Steven_M, it is but I'm not sure he's involved with the project anymore.
