Are there any good sports betting site that accepts monero?

hello. does anyone know where i can find a list of trustworthy remote nodes

thanks

privacygurl links for the above github.com/feather-wallet/feather/blob/master/src/assets/nodes.json or a random collection @ monero.fail

plowsof11: thanks. do you know how i can connect to a remote node after I've already created my wallet in simple mode?

im using monero GUI wallet

assuming this is the Monero GUI you click the [-> looking thing in the top left corner to close wallet, then click the 'change wallet mode' orange bottom near the bottom and select advanced (then re-open your wallet from file.

plowsof11: ooh. do i need to download the entire blockchain?

then settings -> node -> (+) add remote node, fill the details in (user/pass not required) -> ok -> then click it in the list so its highlighted grey. it should connect.

simple mode is a 'random remote node' advanced mode + remote node is one youve chosen (so no, no need to DL the blockchain)

worked. thanks!

i dont really get the point of simple mode since you're allowed to use a random remote node in the advanced wallet anyway :P

Haha, a post with 9 links must be spam, right? :) Maybe there is some mod around to release my post:

plowsof, I'm back, in case you did or wanted to reply to last time convo

How do people feel about censorship, freedom of speech manipulation and stuff?

s/people/people in here

if it looks like we're reading your private messages and each message is 1 or 3 words long / barely on-topic then you're gunna get #censored in here

I guess there are other channels for that question :P

censored (tm)

<PredatorONormies> "I guess there are other channels..." <- #monero-offtopic:monero.social yeh

I don't use Matrix lol

But thanks

anybody know the best websites for purchasing giftcards with monero? with the exception of cakewallet

zek[xmpp]: Ищу работу

<privacygurl[m]> "anybody know the best websites..." <- There's topup-balance but it's a bit more expensive than bitrefill

How do Monero giftcards work? xD

If it's like pay-when-activated - could the gifter lose more money?

hmm depends.. because you would be buying it with fiat, not?

research 'what is a proxy merchant'

I just built monero and ran monerod --detach but how can i check the progress of syncing the blockchain? Or how will i know when it's done?

./monerod status

Assuming the height % is the progress of syncing?

You would be oddly correct

oh, really? I always checked the log file XD

holy shit thanks plowsof11

oh no problem, theres also 127.0.0.1:18081/get_info

xD

nice curl

it's nice when you curl it*

sooo how does Monero over I2P work? are I2P Monero users inter-connected with main-net/clear-net somehow?

bloby

thanks

plowsof

do you have your own remote nodes? i just checked out the featherwallet github

and i see remote nodes listed with ur name

lol

> ...while relying on IPv4 for the remainder of messages to make surrounding node attacks (via sybil) more difficult. < what does it mean by IPv4? Can I2P not provide that? I don't understand.. Monero uses like TCP/UDP, right?

> the wallets will connect to a daemon through a proxy. < proxy? I do not understand, why not just connect locally, doesn't shit work like this: wallet <-> monerod <-> the Monero network ?

And with I2P it should be as simple as wallet <-> monerod <-> I2P <-> the Monero network, no?

IPv4 is a the IP address specification, it's unrelated to I2P which is an anonymity network.

Ah I understand a bit better, I believe

What about I2PC?

Monero is alike torrenting, in ways, right?

Because in I2P by default you cannot connect to people via some IP address directly - because there's no such thing, unless you do it like via Bob or I2PC or whatever

Guys at Ilita IRC (i2pd.website) can probably explain better than I just did

<PredatorONormies> "Because in I2P by default you..." <- With I2P, you do not connect to people with IP address; you connect to their B32 i2p addresss

s/addresss/address/

But how? (I didn't read the entire page yet btw, got poor memory (skills?)) Unless Monero utilizes I2P's I2CP - does each Monero user have to somehow create their own service, manually, or something?

Also - I meant I2CP, not I2PC xD

Yeah, seems to be more-less explained, I think

it too complicated for my smol brain tho ;(

Anyways - glad to see it being more than just mentioned :D
