07:03:26 <chronos3> Are there any good sports betting site that accepts monero?
13:23:19 <privacygurl[m]> hello. does anyone know where i can find a list of trustworthy remote nodes
13:23:21 <privacygurl[m]> thanks
13:47:11 <plowsof11> privacygurl links for the above https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather/blob/master/src/assets/nodes.json or a random collection @ monero.fail
13:47:46 <privacygurl[m]> plowsof11: thanks. do you know how i can connect to a remote node after I've already created my wallet in simple mode?
13:48:42 <privacygurl[m]> im using monero GUI wallet
13:49:45 <plowsof11> 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. 
13:51:20 <privacygurl[m]> plowsof11: ooh. do i need to download the entire blockchain? 
13:51:43 <plowsof11> 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.
13:52:23 <plowsof11> simple mode is a 'random remote node' advanced mode + remote node is one youve chosen (so no, no need to DL the blockchain)
13:57:15 <privacygurl[m]> worked. thanks! 
13:57:49 <privacygurl[m]> 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
16:52:26 <rbrunner> Haha, a post with 9 links must be spam, right? :) Maybe there is some mod around to release my post:

16:52:58 <PredatorONormies> plowsof, I'm back, in case you did or wanted to reply to last time convo
16:53:30 <PredatorONormies> How do people feel about censorship, freedom of speech manipulation and stuff?
16:53:38 <PredatorONormies> s/people/people in here
16:58:46 <plowsof11> 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
17:00:06 <PredatorONormies> I guess there are other channels for that question :P
17:04:41 <rbrunner> censored (tm)
17:18:42 <ofrnxmr[m]> <PredatorONormies> "I guess there are other channels..." <- #monero-offtopic:monero.social yeh
17:19:43 <PredatorONormies> I don't use Matrix lol
17:19:47 <PredatorONormies> But thanks
17:23:30 <privacygurl[m]> anybody know the best websites for purchasing giftcards with monero? with the exception of cakewallet 
17:24:57 <dANBs[m]> zek[xmpp]: Ищу работу
17:29:20 <cockliuser[m]> <privacygurl[m]> "anybody know the best websites..." <- There's topup-balance but it's a bit more expensive than bitrefill
17:30:15 <PredatorONormies> How do Monero giftcards work? xD
17:30:46 <PredatorONormies> If it's like pay-when-activated - could the gifter lose more money?
17:31:07 <PredatorONormies> hmm depends.. because you would be buying it with fiat, not?
17:31:26 <plowsof11> research 'what is a proxy merchant' 
17:33:23 <Pcubensis[m]> 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?
17:33:55 <plowsof11> ./monerod status 
17:35:26 <Pcubensis[m]> Assuming the height % is the progress of syncing?
17:44:25 <ofrnxmr[m]> You would be oddly correct 
18:24:13 <PredatorONormies> oh, really? I always checked the log file XD
18:24:44 <PredatorONormies> holy shit thanks plowsof11 
18:27:50 <plowsof11> oh no problem, theres also 127.0.0.1:18081/get_info 
18:36:33 <PredatorONormies> xD
18:36:54 <PredatorONormies> nice curl
18:37:04 <PredatorONormies> it's nice when you curl it*
18:40:15 <PredatorONormies> sooo how does Monero over I2P work? are I2P Monero users inter-connected with main-net/clear-net somehow?
18:43:55 <plowsof11> https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/docs/ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md
18:46:35 <PredatorONormies> bloby
18:47:27 <PredatorONormies> thanks
18:48:29 <privacygurl[m]> plowsof 
18:48:44 <privacygurl[m]> do you have your own remote nodes? i just checked out the featherwallet github
18:48:51 <privacygurl[m]> and i see remote nodes listed with ur name
18:48:53 <privacygurl[m]> lol
18:49:38 <PredatorONormies> > ...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?
18:50:33 <PredatorONormies> > 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 ?
18:50:58 <PredatorONormies> And with I2P it should be as simple as wallet <-> monerod <-> I2P <-> the Monero network, no?
18:52:35 <BusyBoredom[m]> IPv4 is a the IP address specification, it's unrelated to I2P which is an anonymity network. 
18:54:06 <PredatorONormies> Ah I understand a bit better, I believe
18:54:15 <PredatorONormies> What about I2PC?
18:54:24 <PredatorONormies> Monero is alike torrenting, in ways, right?
18:54:58 <PredatorONormies> 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
18:55:22 <PredatorONormies> Guys at Ilita IRC (https://i2pd.website) can probably explain better than I just did
19:46:13 <xfedex[m]> <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
19:46:13 <xfedex[m]> s/addresss/address/
19:54:13 <PredatorONormies> 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?
19:54:20 <PredatorONormies> Also - I meant I2CP, not I2PC xD
20:03:49 <PredatorONormies> Yeah, seems to be more-less explained, I think
20:04:05 <PredatorONormies> it too complicated for my smol brain tho ;(
20:12:29 <PredatorONormies> Anyways - glad to see it being more than just mentioned :D
