03:09:27 Mysu beta i2p is working again, polyseed, trusted node toggke, many more fixes and improvenents 03:09:29 Im excited lol 03:23:04 <123bob123:matrix.org> Get a room 03:45:21 5⭐? 04:14:37 i think the idea (well, an idea) of kovri was eventually baking into monero, so that everyone who runs a monero node would be running an i2p node 04:14:52 because the problem with those networks is they are slow, and they are slow because not enough people run the nodes 04:19:49 wait. is that why they are slow? 04:22:44 .ai why is i2p slow? 04:22:44 gingeropolous: You must have bot account & be logged in 04:22:50 i'll give you an account 04:22:58 wait, needs emphasis 04:23:03 i'll give *you* an account! 04:32:22 yeah, but i2pd is light, fast, and easy af to install alongside. 04:33:19 the dumb thing about having a private anon network, the endpoints are known. you can block i2p ports just like you can block monero ports 04:34:23 so.. that basicslly just hides the traffic, but not who is running them, which can be found monero.fail style 04:35:21 I think bitcoin has a good way of handling things. Nodes with i2p or tor have to also have clearnet 04:35:33 I2p or tor blockchain sync* 04:36:03 (i might be remembering wrong :/ ) 04:40:35 Either remembering wrong, or remembering old news 04:40:49 "easy af" .... have you witnessed noobs using the monero GUI.... these folks aren't gonna get i2pd alongside 04:41:45 wish it was like bisq. i always thought it was so cool how it just did tor for yah 04:42:04 like bloop.... we're doin tor stuff so you can do your bisq stuff. 04:42:14 <123bob123:matrix.org> Unless you have install options like bitcart 04:42:22 <123bob123:matrix.org> Tor yes or no 04:42:47 ``` 04:42:47 -onlynet=onion Make automatic outbound connections only to .onion addresses. 04:42:48 Inbound and manual connections are not affected by this option. 04:42:48 It can be specified multiple times to allow multiple networks, 04:42:49 e.g. onlynet=onion, onlynet=i2p, onlynet=cjdns. 04:42:49 ``` 04:42:55 Im not completely senile yet 04:43:09 Easy afffff 04:43:25 Dw ill fix up plowsof bash script and make her a 1clickr 04:43:51 Also, termux node (unreleased haha) has i2pd and tor built into setup prompts 04:44:02 Just yes yes yes ty done 04:45:27 (in laughing because im a slacker and its been like a year since i added it lolol) 04:47:00 What i2p ports? The proxy ports? 04:47:58 No, the outbound port 04:48:17 It changes on each startup 04:49:33 Then it can't really be blocked right? 04:49:33 Inbound 🥴 04:49:51 https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/ 04:50:37 <123bob123:matrix.org> Inbound would be the problem i would say 04:50:37 so --anonymous-inbound doesn't work 🤔 04:51:09 Thats tx relay-only 04:51:17 I mean you dont need port forwarding for i2p 04:51:23 Anon inbound broadcasts your onion address, so tx-proxy ppl have peers to relay to 04:51:38 dang 04:51:46 You do, or upnp 04:52:19 <123bob123:matrix.org> We should holepuch to plowsof node 04:52:32 Mine works without? I can reach my b32.i2p 04:52:32 <123bob123:matrix.org> We should holepunch to plowsof node 04:52:42 <123bob123:matrix.org> Maybe upnp? 04:53:05 CGNAT'ed too 04:53:14 <123bob123:matrix.org> Hmm 04:53:32 ``` 04:53:32 upnp.enabledEnable or disable UPnP, false by default for CLI and true for GUI (Windows, Android) 04:53:32 ``` 04:56:06 On my other i2pd, it has upnp working and shows "OK" and on my other device on my CGNAT network I got "Firewalled - symmetric NAT" 04:56:54 If you can reach other routers, you can be reached as far as I can tell 04:57:12 <123bob123:matrix.org> https://geti2p.net/en/docs/transport/ssu 04:57:12 <123bob123:matrix.org> Must do holepunch with introducer? 04:58:19 Definitely the introducer 05:02:19 Ssu has a port too 05:02:43 Or is that local 05:03:59 ``` 05:03:59 ssu2.port 05:04:00 Port to listen for incoming SSU2 connections (default: auto - 'port' from general section) 05:04:00 ``` 05:05:14 <123bob123:matrix.org> https://geti2p.net/en/docs/ports 05:05:14 probably just like xmr.. you can make an outbound connection, and send AND receive traffic over it 05:05:43 But the limitation is that you can only make outbound connections to routers that have inbound enabled 05:05:54 So if nobody has inbound, nobody can connect to anybody 05:06:38 Maybe ofrnxmr is needs to RTFM for a while. I might be wrong, but idk 05:15:16 <123bob123:matrix.org> Yolo 05:35:34 Tor does it similarly right? I dont have ports forwarded and I can reach my onion just fine as well 05:36:38 Thats the beauty of i2p. I can install it on any device and expose a local service without any port forwarding. All private (and secret if needed) 09:01:08 Tor is different, because it has different types of nodes. If you just want to use the network, you can do so without relaying traffic for other people - you only need to make an outgoing connection to an entry node 09:01:35 In i2p, everybody is a relay 09:02:26 i2p's model is better imho. 09:02:43 we are the users. we are the bandwidth providers. we are the routers. we are the whole network. 09:04:10 <123bob123:matrix.org> we are one 09:09:46 it do be like that 12:07:27 have there been any hard discussions on the next hardfork date? i want to get a new server for my seed node, so hoping to do it around a hard fork so i don't have to pay for both for too long 12:10:40 i wonder if it'd be good to start another "cycle" as it were, where a hardfork happens every n months, so that the ecosystem gets practice in preparation for seraphis 12:42:09 Is there any workaround for slow sync on cake? I'm running my own pseudo-public node (inside a Wireguard mesh) which my phone is syncing from and it's still not syncing more than ~100 blocks/sec 12:44:36 cake has never worked for me so i think cake is just bad 12:44:48 ok 12:44:58 monero-wallet-cli loads in 30 seconds and cake doesn't load at all for me 13:11:59 Userverror 13:16:25 gingeropolous nothing concrete yet 18:31:18 gingeropolous: and here we have just gotten used to laughing at people who claim Monero hardforks every 6 months 18:38:16 can anyone help me with this fatal error I'm getting: "Exception in main! Failed to initialize p2p server", I am trying to setup p2pool according to git readme instructions and can't even get monerod to run with 'zmq-pub' set. I am using v0.18.3.1-release in a docker container 18:38:47 the monerod options I am using (as per the p2pool git readme): "./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --out-peers 8 --in-peers 16 --add-priority-node=p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com:18080 --add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18080 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist" 19:12:42 Do you already have a daemon running 19:12:44 Add `--log-level 1` 19:32:48 Inge, the best part of that is that people think we hardforked every 6 months for PoW 20:16:57 didn't we though, a few times? 20:39:08 We should start hard forking every 6 months, so that when seraphis comes, people just upgrade on schedule and dont even realize haha 20:39:09 ../s maybe 21:40:40 Sound good 21:55:40 <123bob123:matrix.org> fork u! 23:30:26 Inge, yeah a few times. but we were hardforking before the PoW hardforks, but critics never seem to know that 23:46:59 ok then is moneromerch.com a good website then. who runs it?
