Hi all . How to check if a service is controlled ( sellable ) or not now ?... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…3b43794cb46bdef12163b54d5c186d82996>)

well...they are a company. what do you expect them to do? they will get shut down for everybody then. try bisq or test out haveno which is in testing. software p2p.

been a while like that tho

is there a software that I can self-host that is like imgur (or catbox.moe), but requires its users to do a micropayment in xmr per picture file the users upload to it?

I don't know about existing software but I could write a simple image upload script (in PHP) that checks for payment via TXID + TX key.

I think pixelfed is also written in PHP. If it could be integrated in that, perhaps would be cool

Here is some (messy) code to check for payment: codeberg.org/anarkio/vendo/src/branch/main/src/func/monero_api.php

But you only really need this: xmrchain.net/api/outputs?txhash=TXI…ss=ADDRESS&viewkey=TX_KEY&txprove=1

You write your Monero address and payment amount in the source code, and the user provides their TXID and TX Key in a form.

If you already have a storage VPS for the image uploads, it would be nice to run a Monero full node + Monero Onion Blockchain Explorer API instance (github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer), to reduce load on Xmrchain.net (sadly I can't afford this for Kuno/Vendo).

I know that I can use CoinGecko API but is there a database I can download of historical prices or would I need to build it myself?

My one concern with using monero is that if someone is gathering all the transactions right now, they'll be able to 'break' the current algorithms keeping the transactions p

rivate, in the future, either through bruteforce with better technology that makes it trivial, or new vulneralbilites. Now I don't know much about how monero works, so I'm h

oping that my concerns are either completely innacurate or a little far-fetched. Any clarity on this would be great, t

when that happens we'll have a looot more important things to worry about

everyone that runs a node is gathering all transactions by definition

But if technology just continues getting faster, like it has, and monero keeps changing algorithms to keep the current transactions secure, will the old transactions now be crackable, is what I mean.

Consider me spookpilled

<BlueBond> "But if technology just continues..." <- it really hasn't, especially in the past decade. we've had 3ghz processors since 2006, today's latest and most expensive processors can barely crack 5ghz

s/3ghz/3.7ghz/

they just made the manufacturing process cheaper and more efficient

that's why for any serious computing tasks you just add more cpus and do parallel processing

which has been possible since forever, nothing's stopping the cia or the nsa or the fbi or whatever from buying thousands of cpus and trying to bruteforce whatever

it's just not feasible and it probably won't be any time soon

That's true, I spose advancements in CPU speed have slowed down signifcantly.

It really doesn't matter for even most hardcore criminals if their transactions get leaked 20 years later

but yes, to answer the question, in a hypothetical imaginary world where "quantum computers" aren't vaporware, old transactions will probably be crackable

Okay, thanks, just trying to get a grasp on the things the book didn't teach ( or I missed ), before using monero.

<naphtha[m]> "it really hasn't, especially..." <- IPC has gone up though, and so have specialized instruction sets. So the "rpm" of the engine is the same, but it has actually become more powerful (and efficient)

right, but that has plateau'd too

That's one specific benchmark though, and that graph only has Zen 1... 2017 was 6 years ago 🤣😰

Zen 2 and 3 have made big steps forward compared to Zen 1 afaik (at least as far as mining is concerned, anyway)

Is there an updated version of that graph?

merope: im looking for one but i havent found any newer one for ipc

performance gains when you just add more threads are really what makes newer cpus faster

the growth in the single core graph is almost negligible compared to multicore
