01:41:42 Testi 02:05:25 send 1 xmr to complete test 02:38:51 I want to buy some more wow but don't want to convert my xmr to btc 02:38:59 this world sucks 03:06:12 "Hugbunter posted an update" <- He's been saying the site will be up soon for weeks. 03:06:12 https://www.teddit.net/u/hugbunt3r 03:06:33 He actually gave an ETA 03:06:51 He said it would be up in the older replies 03:06:57 He didn't say when 03:07:18 Now we are mostly sure it'll be up within the week 03:08:35 cockliuser[m]: Maybe he's waiting for the drug addicts to go into withdrawal comas so there's less traffic on the site 😂😂 03:10:30 i am addicted to caffeine https://libera.chat/policies/ 03:14:03 I feel like the fact that swedish law doesn't allow discrimination is a bad thing 03:14:22 Because discrimination is very subjective 03:15:36 Acting in contempt based on race/religion etc etc is obviously discrimination 03:16:16 But you can group lots of other disputes that aren't discrimination under discrimination 03:16:34 Perhaps creating the concept of a "thought crime" 03:34:21 "I feel like the fact that..." <- I'll support this philosophy with an extension. The government shouldn't be telling citizens what they can and can't say. It should be up to the citizens to collectively resist behavior and embrace desired culture. 03:34:40 The government is supposed to reflect the people not the other way around imo 04:01:52 why do bitcoin mixers exist? isn't converting to xmr a better way to "clean" bitcoin? 04:01:52 i was under the assumption that btc converted to xmr and then converted back to btc would have no link to the original bitcoin. so why do people go through mixers instead of just converting to monero? 04:05:15 > <@zulmunotro:matrix.org> why do bitcoin mixers exist? isn't converting to xmr a better way to "clean" bitcoin? 04:05:15 > i was under the assumption that btc converted to xmr and then converted back to btc would have no link to the original bitcoin. so why do people go through mixers instead of just converting to monero? 04:05:15 Scams and existed in mainstream before XMR started to take over. 04:20:33 is btc/xmr atomic swap a thing? 04:21:19 Yes 04:24:02 COMIT's implementation is in rust though which might be a deterrent 04:25:14 Farcaster is also rust 05:00:54 Any idea for good shopping proxy (that work with ebay)? 05:01:41 I never used that kind of thing but I need something I only found there so far (and the ebay gift card are no go if not in USA) 05:18:47 Contact the seller and ask for crypto payment? 05:20:29 cockliuser[m]: Could try to do that actually 05:28:40 Does anyone here want cock.li invites or know someone that wants them? 05:41:13 maybe privacy.com? 05:41:51 Needs a bank account 05:42:24 pickup and pay in cash? 05:42:36 You could buy a prepaid from https://allark.io 05:42:36 and then wipe there memory 05:49:45 Found some SRAM chip compatible with the chip I have on aliexpress (I think), after looking at many images and datasheets... If they don't work then I will have to recheck the ebay thing. 05:49:45 With prepaid, could work. 05:51:24 Would be nice if ebay add that cash option like aliexpress... Can only dream lol 05:51:46 havnt seen pigs fly yet 05:53:32 there is paypal global on there which ebay accepts paypal. dunno how it works cause paypal wonts to know everything 05:54:27 need a proxy ebay account 05:54:36 * ebay account service 05:58:28 If the market wants it, someone will sell it 06:01:14 "need a proxy ebay account" <- Should be a service on localmonero or one of those other Monero marketplaces 06:01:48 Until then, I bet someone on here would be willing. You're gonna have to trust someone with your mail drop address though. 06:23:06 Is this bridged to irc 06:55:07 yeah 06:55:35 irc.libera.chat/#monero 06:56:26 are emojis transmitted raw or not transmitted at all 06:57:12 that i am not sure. i dont use irc 06:58:45 Libera natively support matrix bridging? 06:58:53 s/support/supports/ 06:58:56 cool 07:00:21 hmm 🤔 07:00:37 Holy fuck 07:00:46 Emojis are transmitted raw 07:19:04 i know xmpp is here to, dunno whats the room is tho 09:53:58 emoji are just unicode characters, not treated any differently from any other text 09:55:12 Yeah but IRC used to be ascii-only 09:55:50 And many people connect from terminals that can't render most utf characters 09:56:08 then they'll see the individual UTF8 bytes 09:56:59 Yeah, which is not optimal 10:12:53 (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ 10:45:24 "And many people connect from..." <- I watched a kubernetes tutorial yesterday and the terminal had emojis. Looked awful 😖 11:10:18 There's lots of three way arbitrage opportunities on TO 11:10:42 Esp XMR to USDT to BTC to XMR 11:11:07 Do you use a bot for that? 11:11:22 And why wouldn't TO run one itself 11:12:03 I don't do it myself, just that the opportunities are there 11:12:08 cockliuser[m] fees, slippage and other bots make it hardly possible 11:12:51 I've checked that even with fees you can make a small profit, even manually 11:13:02 cockliuser[m]: I thought the same for thorchain when they still had UST. 1k UST would have given you 1015$ of BUSD synths 11:13:27 When i tried to make the swap, my UST got stuck onchain 11:13:57 TO is not onchain though 11:14:09 And i had to beg support on discord to do something bcs they initially didn't think there was a problem 11:14:30 Damn that sucks 11:15:04 I got the UST back, exchanged it for BTC, sent to ogre and swapped for monero :P 11:15:22 3 weeks before Luna collapsed 11:17:53 I wonder what specs a machine running a trading bot would need to be the fastest bot 11:18:31 Bandwidth is obviously the first spec but how much would be fast enough 11:19:22 First and foremost, low latency 11:19:52 If you can figure out where the exchange is physically hosted 11:20:25 You could pay the Datacenter to put your box onto the same switch :P 11:21:04 That would be fast to the power of 10 lol 11:26:48 Also why its weird to wouldn't just host a bot on the same machine 11:27:24 They don't even have to pay fees 14:03:11 Hey I am kinda new to the crypto world and was wondering if it makes sense to buy monero from Binance (low fees) and then use a trusted swap like sideshift to get whatever token you might need. This should be private, has low fees and you get whatever token you want right? 14:09:31 The privacy aspect only works if Binance and Side shift aren't collaborating (I think) 14:09:41 s/Side/Sideshift/, s/shift// 14:14:34 "The privacy aspect only works if..." <- Exact, if you do not churn between, they might know it's you (if they are indeed collaborating). Note that the more output in the TX (with many coin from binance being sent to Sideshift), that more it add confidence too. 14:14:35 Just to be sure, wait a day after getting it from binance than send it to yourself 14:26:24 Hm i guess I have to think about it some more. I think it is just a big pain that you buy tokens from a dex at a way higher price than what they currently really are :/ 14:28:19 Token as in ethereum stuff? 14:29:03 If you're using an exchange to buy stuff, you might as well buy Monero directly from Kraken anyway 14:29:25 Also, Monero is not an ETH token 14:29:38 I mean something like bisq and local monero 14:41:03 Yeah just use kraken 15:13:59 Some bids and some asks on TO make you want to reach through the screen and slap the shit out of the trader 15:14:09 Imagine if you could actually do that 17:54:14 what is the vpn u guys recommend the most? 17:56:19 None 17:56:31 Don't use VPNs unless you're hosting it yourself 17:57:00 It's basically a proxy with a huge markup 17:57:05 cockliuser[m]: why 17:57:22 Depends on what you want the vpn for tbh. 17:57:25 cockliuser[m]: . 17:57:29 Most people just want it for the proxy, not the security. :P 17:57:31 pashanim[m]: The vpn provider can monitor your data 17:57:42 i want to play quake using another ip and have low ping 17:57:43 Snipa: Then buy a proxy 17:57:48 Well yes, I'm aware. 17:57:58 i use perfect-privacy.com they use ramdisk 17:57:58 However, a proxy is harder to use than a nice integrated VPN tunnel. 17:58:23 i just use a node on my tailscale network if I need to bounce things out of the house. 17:58:28 Snipa: Socks5 proxies are the easiest things to use 17:58:39 For some applications, yes. 17:58:41 For others, no. 17:58:54 If your app doesn't suppot it natively, you need to wrap it and do a bunch of other stupidity. 17:59:08 But if you're doing it in a browser, I do agree. 17:59:31 I'd be willing to bet that the user wanting to buy a VPN doesn't want for the applications that can't use proxies 17:59:40 * doesn't want it for the 17:59:45 Probally, but I also don't exepct them to know how to set it up as well. 17:59:50 what do u think abt ramdisk vpn? 18:00:11 What do you want a vpn for 18:00:26 privacy 18:00:33 Don't use a vpn then 18:00:48 Get a VPS somewhere, bought w/ monero, throw up your own wireguard exit node. 18:00:48 Not a VPN service atleast 18:00:58 ^^ 18:01:03 "all depends on your threat model". I run OpenVPN on a VPS that also serves some other proxies for family & friends (Invidious, etc). A government can clearly see what's up, but my ISP/coporate masters don't 18:01:07 alr 18:01:17 I cheese it and use tailscale because I don't want to manage the keys, but I accept that risk factor. 18:02:13 but do you know kinox? it was a german illegal movie streaming service that was searched by interpol & bka. They used a vpn that uses ramdisk and doesnt log ips, they never got caught. 18:02:17 With a vpn your just moving your trust from isp to them. Its better but them you need to trust the vpn 18:02:35 s/them/then/ 18:02:42 vpns can offer some plausible deniability 18:03:06 DanIsnotthemanBr: That's why I run my own OpenVPN 18:03:09 Snipa: what vps provider would u recommend ? 18:03:27 I use mullvad just to not be the lowest hanging fruit in case the totally legit streaming websites get taken down by the feds 18:03:46 I use ivpn 18:03:52 monerobull[m]1: Proxies will work for you 18:03:55 i use perfect-privacy 18:04:18 Unironically, stop paying mullvad so much money 18:04:26 5€ for mullvad vs what, 15€ for Netflix (which has a shit selection and sometimes even lower quality than the free streaming sites) 18:04:34 Proxies are like 20x cheaper 18:04:40 Dan (Is not the man & Braxman Tomsparks Advocate): Never heard of ivpn. What makes it better? 18:04:43 monerobull[m]1: And mullvad takes Monero 18:04:48 I don't suggest any. I worked for PIA many, many years ago, but don't recommend them as I don't work for them any more. 18:05:08 Using a vps is the same thing. Need to trust there not logging traffic and they wont gice your data over 18:05:16 I know proxy services that accept monero 18:05:17 Snipa so you know how they forward data to the govt? 18:05:20 s/gice/give/ 18:05:20 does anyone know perfect-privacy.com? 18:05:33 as2333, When I was there? No. 18:05:36 Once I left, no idea. 18:05:48 This was almost a decade ago now tho. 18:05:59 Snipa k 18:06:25 I found this by googling, seems to explain it well 18:06:25 OIC, ivpn is a company. No, I mean, I self-host OpenVPN on a cloud VM/VPS 18:06:25 xmrfn[m]: No log audits and security audits and also hq in Gibraltar 18:06:25 https://gist.github.com/joepie91/5a9909939e6ce7d09e29 18:06:30 cockliuser[m]: Take a read 18:07:09 Tbh mullvad or ivpn for vpns services 18:07:32 They accept xmr 18:07:39 Direct 18:07:40 i know many ppl that were searched by the bka (german gov) many years bc of blackmailing politicans and frauding they used vpn and never got caught 18:07:54 Smspool accepts xmr too I believe 18:07:55 They have proxies 18:08:17 Rotating, residential ones 18:08:17 DanIsnotthemanBr: do they use ramdisk servers? 18:08:21 Mullvad 18:08:25 I prefer to self-host. You still have to worry about the VPS provider, but as they are not specifically a VPN provider I suspect they aren't going to be logging to that degree. 18:08:43 True 18:08:57 VPN people out in full force today :) 18:09:08 Your usecase doesn't need a VPN my man 18:09:24 Except if you selfhost 18:09:31 cockliuser[m]: it does 18:09:43 But ivpn always get audited 18:09:44 https://www.ivpn.net/blog/ivpn-infrastructure-fifth-audit-announcement/ 18:09:44 https://github.com/OpenVPN 18:09:50 pashanim[m]: Your vpn provider is an overpriced honeypot 18:10:01 They can and will log stuff 18:10:26 Proxychains ftw 18:11:06 cockliuser[m]: haha bro, its there since so many years, so many cases and noone got caught 18:11:06 highly illegal stuff done on that vpn 18:11:07 noone caught 18:11:08 pashanim[m]: No one does illegal stuff on vpn :) 18:11:09 how? 18:11:09 What are you trying to do? With the vpn 18:11:09 Unless ofc you're self hosting 18:11:30 DanIsnotthemanBr: what do u think? 18:11:50 Dunno 18:12:01 Google search 18:12:25 pashanim[m]: Unless the criminal is mentally disabled, he will use TOR not a VPN :) 18:12:27 DanIsnotthemanBr: Obfuscate all my normal internet activity from my ISP and their corporate & gov't asociates 18:12:45 Not you 18:13:01 cockliuser[m]: i know a like 30+ ppl only using vpn (perfect-privacy.com and opvn.com) for over 10years doing illegal things, noone caught 18:13:02 o sorry I forget sometimes it's not about me :P 18:13:11 cockliuser[m] so tor isnt a honeypot eh 18:13:12 pashanim[m]: Sure you do :) 18:13:21 cockliuser[m]: bro 18:13:23 Much less than VPNs 18:13:31 s/VPNs/VPN services/ 18:13:40 pashanim[m]: do u know kinox? 18:14:00 as2333: Last message was replying 18:14:03 * Last message was replying to this 18:14:41 Fyi this is public chat so throwing around doing illegal things isnt probably the best 18:14:52 idc 18:14:57 pashanim[m]: This https://torrentfreak.com/kinox-to-operator-sentenced-to-40-months-in-prison-151217/?

18:17:31 anyway indeed vpns are hardly trustworthy, but the whole arpanet is a privacy disaster anyway - incluind of coure the pentagon's toy tor. 18:17:38 yall should do research on pp and ovpn 18:17:43 pashanim[m]: do you really think they're using VPNs? 18:17:53 cockliuser[m]: yes, they used ovpn 100% 18:18:13 Yes they definitely met with you in person and told you that :) 18:18:54 cockliuser[m]: i mean there are cases lol 18:19:02 None 18:19:04 and ovpn couldnt give any information 18:19:13 because of ramdisk servers 18:19:27 That's what they tell you :) 18:20:27 And even if it was a ramdisk, there wouldn't be anything preventing them from just imaging the ramdisk periodically 18:20:31 cockliuser[m]: why are there so many cases where they couldnt give any information else than email than? 18:21:22 im still not bust after about 11years 18:21:26 Are these "cases" in the room with us right now? 18:21:54 pashanim[m]: XD 18:22:07 what? 18:22:07 Knock knock 18:22:23 Who's there 18:22:28 Fbi 18:22:34 FBI who 18:22:49 Fbi ima arrest you 18:22:58 You vpn terrorist 18:23:24 :) 18:24:09 and mullvad is shit... i know a guy (he was 15) he got bust like 1 week after doing some of the trolling. he always had killswitch on 18:24:10 wow, you know so many guys 18:24:23 Really, a testimonial to human communication 18:24:25 Beautiful 18:24:26 https://www.t-online.de/region/duesseldorf/id_100104732/duesseldorf-drohanrufer-gegen-weihnachtsmarkt-ist-erst-15-jahre-alt.html 18:24:35 shit vpn 18:24:57 i dont know a single person that got bust while using pp 18:25:01 Just don't use VPN services and you'll be fine 18:25:23 pashanim[m]: Because no one uses VPNs for illegal stuff?

18:27:23 If your doing “illegal stuff” i would use tor, encrypts 3 times and current node only knows ip from previous node. 18:27:45 cockliuser[m]: most known european boards 18:27:55 Next you'll say that nulled is actually a professional hacking forum 18:27:55 nulled is not 18:27:55 haha 18:28:00 and crimemarket is not a hacking forum 18:28:17 Clearnet forums are honeypots:) 18:28:20 bro 18:28:22 * are honeypots :) 18:28:35 how do u know?

A service that is hosted over clearnet is inherently insecure due to the fact that servers can be easily tracked though. 18:33:55 pashanim[m]: like if tor was untraceable 18:33:59 leave us alone then, this is not the place for 'crime' discussion 18:34:20 Thats the crime channel 18:34:24 exactly 18:34:53 Where governed by the swedish chef 18:35:25 why do yall use monero than haha 18:35:26 monero = only for crime 18:35:33 like fr 18:35:56 So is cash 18:35:56 monero = drugcoin 18:35:57 noice 18:37:45 https://monerica.com/ 18:38:30 lol 18:38:54 monero means money sir 19:59:22 Do you use entirely different wallets for churning or just different accounts? 20:02:56 Doesn't matter, can be back to the sending address 20:03:19 Addresses are not on the blockchain 20:03:55 Alright thank you :) 20:54:32 > monero = only for crime 20:54:32 What the problem? 20:54:37 Fuck IRS 21:00:26 fuck the state 21:00:40 > <@_xmpp_euterpre=40xmpp.is:matrix.org> > monero = only for crime 21:00:40 > What the problem? 21:00:40 fr 21:04:24 Monero is freedom, it represents the liberty I have to transact value for value to whoever chooses, without the meddling or eavesdrop of 3rd parties.
