<mtchannel> hi. completely pruned from scratch is around 63gb. it took 5 days with harddisk.

Is v0.18.2.3 expected soon? I saw a bunch of PRs go in

<ShaneonConduitrs> "Is there any more appealing..." <- bump

Hi I was wondering

in general if you buy things using crypto (whether directly or otherwise) how do you do it?

Zero[m]: if the merchant supports monero then you just scan the code... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…970ca7e217e9fefeef884b1d5efe866b709>)

hmm

So escrow? What do you mean?

or like you can escrow irl too

Zero[m]: service that supervises/performs the exchange for you

ok

Like what?

e.g. irl i often just tell people to pay in paper for me and then i send them XMR

Zero[m]: localmonero.co

Oh yeah I know that

ShaneonConduitrs: been there

beyond that dunno afaik there is a lot of escrow services all over, but i never had the need to use them

they also often put an escrow fee on stuff

fixedfloat.com Lets you pay with monero even if they are accepting a different cryptocurrency? Is that right?

is that the idea?

Zero[m]: it's crypto exchange so you can exchange any supported crypto

monero is one of the supported one

So yes

also great and cheap BTC tumbler

or are you saying

also you can do trades with stable coins

e.g. USDT

right

so if you want to buy something online do you have a way to buy say from amazon have it not be traceable. At least less traceable than just having a bank account and buying normally where the bank knows. Its just a thought since. Crypto in theory would let you buy things and not have a third party or have one third party (the person/company you are buying from and not also your bank).

-----------

So I was wondering if you had a way to do that.

Zero[m]: hmm in czechia we told amazon to go fuck itself and have local Alza.cz and CZC.cz and alike that support crypto

hmmm

otherwise amazon gift cards

the cards right

so

usually can be bough easily with crypto

you could get those with crypto

right I see

So if you buy with the card. Like from a security point of view its like being unbanked? Like since there is no bank your working with while making that transaction particularly if you started with crypto.

actually czc.cz doesn't support crypto weird

so

you get gift cards like this? purse.io

using that?

Zero[m]: dunno what you mean

that's fine

optionally you can get a pre-paid credit card

well yeah I know about with cake pay you can get a card

its pretty cool it seems

or some credit card providers allow you to use crypto

something about that gives off red flags

ShaneonConduitrs: that

dunno about them though

would try them with putting a small amount of crypto and see how it works

but like it ain't open source so not an option for me 🤔

hmm

KYC is AWFUL. and a lot of you can use crypto with this card or something

i guess

is KYC

yeah

great example

Zero[m]: ye

like with KYC if the gov knows that you use crypto then it might be a good option for data poisoning

I'm an anarchist personally. So the push for digital ID and more government involvement in your life and money is evil and wrong tbh.

i am anarchist and i welcome these things tbh

Also speaking of credit card companies. I hate mastercard at this point.

also this

ain't that affiliated with the digital euro project?

bcs that looked like a good stable coin

If you know anything about the state and money. They always make it worse. like... the roman empire. Or the federal reserve.

or the soviet union burning the economy to ashes

i don't mind the EU atm

I don't know much about it.

but the state always lies

i don't have the feeling that the state lies in the EU

???

If they tell you that a program is good for you. Or release info saying how something is good for the economy how can you take them seriously?

Even if they give details they could just make it up.

like i am in the czech republic.. our president is the former NATO supreme general and ran on honesty and truth and so far i didn't see him lie.. our PM is professor of politics and same for him

Zero[m]: bcs i can be part of the political decision making and make sure it does what it says?

i know that the state in the US is hot garbage but it's not that way everywhere

The US is one of the most effective and evil empires to ever exist (top 5 probably). So sure. But democracy is BS to begin with

agree that democracy is bs

though i have supreme general of NATO at a head of state and PM professor of political science so demogogary ain't an issue there

germany would be prime example of why demogracy is bs though with them electing the alternatives (nazis and nationalist)

<ShaneonConduitrs> "i don't have the feeling that..." <- LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Why do you think the EU is good in some way? Do you not thing we will see heads of state from many of these places at the WEF? Or maybe other such meetings of the those who push for global government?

s/thing/think/

Zero[m]: why is WEF relevant

and why global government? afaik that was supposed to be UN and it ended up like shit

afaik ?

as far as i know

* afaik = as far

ok

well anyway

I wouldn't trust the EU.

i don't trust anyone personally

Representative democracy is bs at least

Democracy should only exist under free association

medicineseller[m: seems legit

ofrnxmr: hey, what's with our chat private?

Im asssuming you changed devices

Dan r/dark (Is not the man & Braxman Tomsparks Advocate ):

I think had to login on app or web, then send me a verification request

but its borked. Not sure why it happens. But i haven't changrd devices

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Im asssuming you changed devices" <- NO, but I did get a message to verify the chat.

I'll send a verification now?

sent

(I'd hate to lose all our convos & lessons!)

are you using element web?

Its showing the same encryption error here

no, the element server, save as always

if you are on monero.town you should know this

any admin from any federated server can see this info

Why choose monerotown over other instances for sign-up? Wouldn't lemmy.world have a wider federation of communities to access?

<eudaimon36[m]> "no, the element server, save..." <- I had to go on element web to send verification. The app world have a hissy fit.

DanrdarkIsnotthe: Yea, that's what ofrn said. We ended up getting it working that way--though I have no idea why that fixed it, or even why it was broken...lol

And also do you have “never send messages to unverified sessions” 

Have to fix plowsof now, was verified and now not. This is what happens when you using lightening network!!

<stsh[m]> "Why choose monerotown over other..." <- no, monero.town is federated with all other instances right now, so the reach is the same. However defederalization is possible, and some instances have done so for mundane reasons. I'm pretty confident the monero.town admin won't do that unless he has to do so by law

Also a nice bonus is that whenever you post on other instances, your username reads stsh⊙mt, which is a nice ad :)

<DanrdarkIsnotthe> "And also do you have “never send..." <- Yep, got that too.

I think its that

Monerobull is admin

<stsh[m]> "Why choose monerotown over other..." <- the massive lemmy instances have mostly dogshit performance

like, subbing to a community wont register for days level of performance

Did you watch monerotalk for moneronodo? Still rug pull?????

monerobull[m]: they also don't focus on removing as little content as possible

DanrdarkIsnotthe: haven't seen it yet. i don't think its a rug pull and that it is in fact at a understandable pricepoint

s/a/an/

<stsh[m]> "Why choose monerotown over other..." <- You don't even have to be on Lemmy. I follow some people on monero.town from my Mastodon work account :D

but should you post to it, it looks really ugly 😆

Seems like you don't see the pictures in my Mastodon replies

reply

could try embedding the images via markdown?

I have stupid client (fedilab)

* I have a stupid client

I just use rss 

To follow

does anyone know what the status of atomic swap is? I am struggling to find a stable implementation and it makes me wonder if I am chasing ghosts.

Which coin

XMR from and to BTC

<Siren[m]> "You don't even have to be on..." <- Mastodon need email tho and my tuta can't receive the confirmation email. Seems sus

#unstoppableswap:matrix.org has a GUI and tech support from the developer right there ... there is also basicswapdex.com ... farcaster working but soon(tm)

Particle?

I think monerobull used it?

plowsof11: Thanks I will check them out

they gave a talk at monerokon
