New blog post on getmonero.org: getmonero.org/2023/02/02/seraphis-jamtis-developer-opportunities.html

There's a Peter Schiff clone on the Monero /biz/ thread

From the thread: vocaroo.com/15CV9WGfCy0S

Ai generated it seems

<cockliuser[m]> "Ai generated it seems" <- Probably using Eleven Labs

Monero on-chain 4MB NFTs when :P

<opsoyo[m]> "Probably using Eleven Labs" <- made two videos with that

hi

what is the difference between hardcoded nodes on inl file and --add-peer

Must see video! Totally exposes the big pharma based conspiracy.

phil.n.thropic unrelated to Monero , no thanks

philnthropic  nothing new we all now that

monero users i mean

because monero do not trust!

monero users sorry

only fiat idiots trust goverments and the rest

lol

what is the difference between hardcoded nodes on inl file and --add-peer

what is an inl file

full_addrs.insert("212.83.175.67:18080");

      full_addrs.insert("212.83.172.165:18080");

can you confirm if those ips have angry face or smiley face github.com/plowsof/check-monero-seed-nodes

hmm they are off right

angry face

what is the real question? you noticed some errors about those ips being offline?

no has nothing to do with this nodes just if there is a difference on connection if i do --add-peer or just use inl file as is

i do not know the answer to this, but i assume add-peer will just += the hard coded list

and then another assumption: add-exclusive-node will ignore the seed nodes selsta?

Guest11: --add-peer adds a node to your peer list, that's it

peer list is not the same as the hardcoded seed nodes in the source code

you can use --seed-node if you want to specify your own seed node instead of relying on hardcoded ones

what happen if dns servers goes down

monero will connect to hardcoded?

research what dns means first then ask

assuming it will just treat is as being unable to resolve

@kick

what are the best remote nodes to connect to for monero?

im planning on using tor

monero.fail , experiment

pineappleapplesa: If you use cakes wallet, they have an onion

ofrnxmr[m]: i dont use cake wallet

can i still use their nodes even if i use the default monero app?

Yea, but you'll need to type it out lolooolooool

that doesnt seen taht bad on pc

so i guess ill use cakewallet

thanks guys

Not sure if cakes onion link is posted publicly anywhere

what should i do if it isnt?

how do i find it

on feathers list erm

^^

feather wallet has a list of nodes?

thanks

Thats right. Feather has a list of community trusted onion modes

anybody know if there are any risks to using monero exclusively on whonix? many ppl tell me that this is the most private way to use monero

but they dont tell me what the drawbacks may be

slower wallet sync

ofrnxmr[m]: Technically couldn't you just connect to a non-onion node over TOR?

cockliuser[m]: but why would u do that

if u can just use an onion node instead

Would be faster than an onion node and anonymity would be the same since onion nodes have 6 relays instead of 3

> <@pineappleapplesauce[m]:libera.chat> > <@cockliuser:matrix.org> Technically couldn't you just connect to a non-onion node over TOR?

>

> but why would u do that

Its a bit faster

selsta: well besides the obvious like that lol

leaving meta data because you feel like taking risks and enjoy slow sync speeds

then tor to clearnode is fine

cockliuser[m]: yeah every tor user knows this

anonymity wouldnt be the same

The three relays are there to obscure the node's address, if you want hide yourself you'd just need three relays

onions are significantly safer than relying on just your 3 hops

* The extra three relays

feather syncs over clear net initially by default

can churning be done with the same wallet app? by sending to different wallets on the same app? or is it better to churn by sending xmr to a different wallet on a different app

i want to churn all within the same whonix vm

but dont know if this would be the best way of going about this since my ip will be the same even if im sending to different addresses

If you use an onion your ip doesnt matter

As I said to someone else, I sell NY drugs on facebook

So I cant help ya with paranoia or sus opsec needs

pineappleapplesauce: You can send to the same address. It will look different every time on the blockchain. That's what a Stealth Address does.

Is churning really a good idea? We don't know yet.

ofrnxmr[m]: why do u sell drugs on facebook lol

tell ur customers to switch to another platform

customers dont wanna leave the comfort zone

say goodbye to their comfort zone when they're locked in a cell

without a laptop or IRC access ! dramatic music

scared straight

plowsof11: thats scary as fuck

whats the best way of using irc on whonix?

hexchat?

comes preinstalled

Isn't whonix Linux based?

:)

<great_taste> "customers dont wanna leave the..." <- + hundred of thousands of drug deals are done everyday on Facebook.

Feds are more concerned about whonix drug dealers and finding ways to catch the people who try their hardest to hide

> <@ofrnxmr:monero.social> + hundred of thousands of drug deals are done everyday on Facebook.

> Feds are more concerned about whonix drug dealers and finding ways to catch the people who try their hardest to hide

not really

they're concerned about those that are making millions

Example.. if you feds, would you target WhatsApp users? Or signal users?

both

Billions of users? Or a few thousand criminals?

LOL

The 7 people who use zcash? Or the hundreds of thousands who who btc?

not all signal users are criminals

most criminals dont even use signal

most use telegram even tho its unencrypted by default

pineappleapplesa: Never said they were

but i get ur point

Im saying there is far, far less noise on signal

i still dont think thats how stuff works

You dont know how feds work then

if u were snitched on and your facebook @ was given to the police

they'd make an easy arrest

you've been protected by luck and the fact that you are probably small fish to them

No they wouldnt

People do crimes on Facebook and Instagram LIVE all the time lolol

yeah but the people committing crimes on social media are a protected victim class

Walking around free as we speak, feds know, feds dont give a flying fuck about these no opsec no threat users

pineappleapplesa: Luck my ass

What on saying isnt speculative, its a fact

Users of specific services are MADE TO BE targets

ofrnxmr[m]: yeah thats true. but using unencrypted messaging platforms to conduct illegal activity is a bigger risk

People plan murders on Facebook and get away with it easier than silkroad

ur still better off using encrypted platforms

Anyway, this has nothing to do with monero. What im saying is the feds focus on and specifically target specific usersbases

They dont give a shit about WhatsApp, they give a shit about WhatsApp users who also have signal

yeah but that doesnt change the fact that users are still better off using encrypted messenging platforms than unencrypted

Wrong...

If they never look at you, youre never a target

Errrr

Of course encryption is important, I dont mean to say it isnt

But even monero p2p network isnt encrypted lol

Ideally everybody should use and have UX friendly access to high opsec services

Normalizing high opsec leads to plausible deniability. But as long as high opsec is the minority, you ARE the target

Example being pre 2012 encryption wars. If you used encryption on your devices, you were a target or even made out to be a criminal

These days, its perfectly normal for everyday users to use encrypted services without even knowing. Example being full disk encryption on phones and PCs, https etc.

and NordVPN!!!111

although they know when they use VPNs

<ofrnxmr[m]> They dont give a shit about WhatsApp, they give a shit about WhatsApp users who also have signal <<>> damn, what have I done to people? o_0

product placement is key

Has anyone given it thought to how good of an actor Vitalik Buterin could be? Making everyone think he is "mentally retarded". It seems as if that somehow gives him the ability to run a business, which is getting political, real quick.

Are we becoming a business too?

Jack[m]: What does that question even mean?

Not sure I want to know 🙃

in a round about way jacks calling us retarded

s/retarded/autistic

elon musk also plays schizo-autistic to seem smart

<ofrnxmr[m]> "If they never look at you, youre..." <- But they are looking at everyone using tireless A.I. eyes.

they're only able to enforce their bs on 3.5% of the population

Hello

Where are all the original people?

lasthayek[m]: In the Bitcoin community

raas[m]: Sounds good here I have faith

Anyone have good rss feed for xmr news?

Cryptoman[m]: icarolongo:

> <@cryptoman81:matrix.org> Anyone have good rss feed for xmr news?

* icarolongo

Cryptoman: monero.observer

themonero.dance aggregates multiple RSS feeds. Monero.observer also offers a RSS feed.

Local monero has one too

<plowsof11> "in a round about way jacks..." <- maybe it didn't come out right. I'm calling ethereum retarded

Revuo Monero. Issue 157: January 26 - February 2, 2023. revuo-xmr.com/issue-157.html

I added a link to generate an HAProxy config file with all the nodes on monero.fail (whatever nodes you're filtering for)

Good evening. I don't know if this is the right channel for this but, since updating/compiling the latest monero binary from source, launching monerod using my same flags as for the past 2 years, I now see the following warning line spamming every couple of mins. "Couldn't allocate RandomX light VM using large pages"

I never seen that before, and I'm not mining with monerod.

What type of device

It's my Full VM Node.

Been using that for about 2 years now, but just recently I noticed that on my latest compile.

this is normal, it will be moved to --log-level 1 soon

Ahh so I should just ignore it.

doctorx: see monero-project/monero #8705

it will be merged soon

thanks ^

ahh I see. it's just that I've never seen that before, not even once.

(that I could think of.)

Ahh

"I've changed large page allocation messages back to mdebug (the same as it was before the refactoring in #8677)"

So it has always been there, just hidden in mdebug.

Alright. I'll proceed to ignore. Thanks for the update/help! I greatly appreciate it.

I run that full xmr node 24/7/365.

thank you for supporting the network

Always!
