<b​az:monero.social> hey guys/gals, I just noticed getmonero.org SSL cert expired

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…ero.social/vIeEiWEYsJtGgGFIoxOBJNBN

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Hep, I confirm

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Imajin using cron to auto update certificates

<b​az:monero.social> 👍️

<b​az:monero.social> if ya use letsencrypt. this cert looks like its from sectigo.com

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> What system should i get to generate 1000~2000 CZK per month in XMR (i live in energy class A building and have solar panels and could add more)

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> This wouldn't happen if it was an onion service when will they learn!

to get 1000 czk/mo you would need a hash rate of ~60000h/s

that's like 4 ryzen 5900X CPUs

maybe 600w from the wall

<b​az:monero.social> monerotoruzizulg5ttgat2emf4d6fbmiea25detrmmy7erypseyteyd.onion

<b​az:monero.social> they do. 😉

<b​az:monero.social> i needed the binary, i got it via the onion

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> No one payed the bill

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> monero devs going broke?\

<b​az:monero.social> well, i made an issue on github. perhaps someone will look into that. you can't download anything or reach the site.

<b​az:monero.social> i just hope it doesn't break anything. i don't see how it would, but you never know.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Pings already sent

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> So basically if i get two epyc 9654 (~200 000 CZK each) and a motherboard with RAM (around 300 000 CZK) then i will make 3140 CZK per month assuming that i can give it constantly around 800W

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> -dev and pms

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> On monero-site?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monero Website you can send a ping there

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> Or AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X which has hashrate of 65116.88 H/s which sells for around 100K CZK so in 100 months it would make the money back

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> what abt the poor whales

<b​az:monero.social> yeah.

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Ping webmaster -t

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> hm?

<s​gp:magicgrants.org> The MAGIC Grants board is hosting a live Q&A in the Monero Telegram group this Thursday at 1p ET to discuss the MAGIC Monero Fund and the upcoming election. We hope to see you there!

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Can magic pay for the cert?

was that telescam or telespam

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> First one

I have no questions

you do good work

keep it up

<s​gp:magicgrants.org> probably, if it comes to it

isn't the cert one of the few things that core is supposed to do?

infrastructure

seems that 3 of 6 core members are MIA

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> At lunch back in 10mins

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> imajin just configuring lets encrypt and CRON...

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Even my site that I abandoned but that are still online get there certs auto-updated...

<c​pt_longdeck:matrix.org> whats going on guys

<c​pt_longdeck:matrix.org> I'm about to try to buy some Monero. I tried once before and failed... any advice on the best easiest place to exchange for monero?

<b​az:monero.social> That depends on your country of origin, kraken has XMR listed.

<b​az:monero.social> Checkout coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monero/#Markets

<c​pt_longdeck:matrix.org> i didnt think exchanges had monero. Im US

<b​az:monero.social> Kraken

<b​az:monero.social> Or if you feel adventures w/ no KYC bisq .network

<c​pt_longdeck:matrix.org> thank you good sir

<p​olar9669:matrix.org> Getmonero.org SSL cert has expired

<b​az:monero.social> monero-project/monero-site #2214

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> a representative will get back to you shortly. Please hold the line.

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> You are position number 1000000000000000 in the queue

<s​tnby:kernal.eu> We are Monero. Certificates are for weak.

<b​igslim:matrix.org> Has anyone tried POSTing or spamming gpt chat bots to kick them offline?

#monero-offtopic bigslim

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Indeed, but all browser want it now

The SSL certificate for the website getmonero.org has been expired.

Expired almost 24 hours ago I see.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> If you guys plan to let it expire, at least don't enable HSTS.... please

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> HSTS make it sure no one can connect the side (no ignore the error button)

well at least the Tor mirror should still be online

<9​_11_01> yo can moneros supply ever go past 18.4 million

it already did

<9​_11_01> no its and 18.37

<9​_11_01> does its supply go infinitely up?

it has a perpetual tail emission. the supply is not infinite.

It will pass 18.4 million next year

Currently it's 18373076.8 XMR

<9​_11_01> if it's not infinite what value will it stop then

It won't stop. But it's not infinite.

selsta: "well at least the Tor mirror should still be online" Yeah, no shit! I prefer the Tor mirror over the clearnet one, but most people will probably visit the clearnet mirror.

TLDR Monero emission will be less than Bitcoin emission until 2040

And I'm just notifying the fact the SSL certificate has expired as an active member of the community.

<9​_11_01> so moneros fees are based on tx size right? could i self send to consolidate?

binaryFate luigi1111w yall aware of broken cert? i see messages about it but no pings

Pingered in #monero-site earlier

Just waiting now

<9​_11_01> bruh answer my question

yes

lol

yes aware

Not sure of this is still live data but has some info on tx fees monero.how/monero-transaction-fees

I like that $144.51 btc tx fee

<l​ocalparticl.com:matrix.org> Just paid a over $100 in fees and it's been over 3 blocks so far. Eta.. Another 3. Btc pretty form of money moving atm.

<l​ocalparticl.com:matrix.org> Just paid a over $100 in fees and it's been over 3 blocks so far. Eta.. Another 3. Btc pretty crap form of money moving atm.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> BTC is broken as far as "money" go

<9​_11_01> should i move to monero rn?

<l​ocalparticl.com:matrix.org> Yep

Monero is better in all way except price. But I don't provide trade advise, you do you.

But given enough time, monero will win. BTC will just become more and more unusable with time

<9​_11_01> bitcoin is currently fucking me in the ass

<9​_11_01> also why is monero worse in price

That's normal bitcoin thing yeah. If I need to pay in BTC, I just pay using monero thru fixedfloat to BTC LN.

Monero is worst in price thanks to heavy suppression. Exchange suppress it, BTC Maxis suppress it.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> But eventually they won't be able to suppress it anymore and it should go to M87.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> after one or two BTC halving or something like that, when the minimum fee for BTC going to be over 10$, and average over 50$

Rucknium + community volunteers helped reduce time to 1st monero tx confirmation by 60 seconds not so long ago

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> BTC LN only work properly with custodial wallets.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> While you can use it okish with Electrum, you need to maintain 3-4 well connected channels if you want the payment to work most of the time...

<9​_11_01> and i can consolidate or try to receive to the same address to lower the tx size on monero just like btc? correct

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> And when the fee will be at 50$ average, you probably won't want to open 3-4 channels to use the network (or rebalance your existing channels)

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Monero fee is so nano that you don't have to consolidate to lower the fee.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Plus Monero fee will go down as usage go up

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Monero has been designed to be used as money

<9​_11_01> okay why do i hear about monero tx sizes alot? will it increase if i receive to different sub addresses

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> You hear about monero TX size a lot probably because there bigger than BTC tx size.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> But fee is way lower. sending to subaddress make virtually no difference

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> it go bigger if you spend more than one input (say you pay something more expensive that all your individual output so it have to spend 2)

Related to blockchain size probably

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> but the fee still be under half a cent

* picture of monero blockchain size vs tripple-A install size on disk over time *

plowsof: Yeah, it's one of the main Maxi argument again Monero

Trippl-A games*

Collection of 4K movies/series grow faster than Monero blockchain anyway

<9​_11_01> "it go bigger if you spend more than one input (say you pay something more expensive that all your individual output so it have to spend 2)"

<9​_11_01> how can the size even increase? how can it be decreased? are you saying over circulated coins have higher fees?

<9​_11_01> how can you have multiple inputs or outputs if using a new address makes no difference

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> > <R​avFX> Monero is better in all way except price. But I don't provide trade advise, you do you.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its better in price too

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Id rather 170 for 1/18.5m

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> than

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 40000 for 1/19.5m

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Especially when the former is better

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> "Want an $10 paper plates? or $2 china?"

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Non, i'm saying that if you don't have a big enough output for a spend, you will use 2 output (or more), that will increase the TX size. so the nano fee will increase by extra pico amount. At the end the fee is still nano

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> and the biggest the block, the lower the fee

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so utilization increase will push the fees down

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monero tx sizes for normal users (atm) doesnt matter much

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its miners and merchants who have to act in special ways to save on porential costs

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Merchand will save more on monero by just using it without management (for the fee) than right now with visa and mastercard

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 10000000%

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And thats hard facts

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> They can just increate the price of all product by half a cent if they really want lol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Merchant can even recoup 100+% of costs by mining their own tx

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Keeping prices flat is an INSTANT 2+% return vs visa

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Yeah, I know.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Visa such a scam really

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Cash also has banking fees, and you litersally have to deliver the cash (fuel / delivery)

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> here many of the few place that accept plastic add a 2% tax on the total lol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> I see a lot of stores that wont accept visa

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> "No credit"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> But the ones who do, have priced in visas fees

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> here most stores are cash only

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> except the big ones plus some

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its not simply about savings though. For a large metchant to swap, they need.. POS DEVICES

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They need to be handed a working and reliable, no downtime solution

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Yeah, they need proper POS devices for sure.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Or managing it themself with can be pain if they are not already savvy in that space

RavFX: The transaction fees along make BTC unusable IMO.

s/along/alone

remiliascarlet: Yep, BTC is simply not usable as money anymore

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> thats intentional @ remilia

Thanks to the great hijack

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Btc even lies about mining

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> In xmr, we do privacy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> pool mining is not a totally private matter

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Miner hashrates, pay addresses etc, are all known by the pools

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Btc pools hide this info, making maxis think btc mining is somehow not exhibitionism

m-relay: "In xmr, we do privacy" Considering most of you use Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android, your privacy has been compromised even while on Monero to be honest.

<w​hiskey00:matrix.org> Are there any good pos systems for monero ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They not only give up all the same info as xmr miners (and dont know it), but they KYC

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Not that i know of. I think we should get an existinf large company to rebrand hardware for us

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> > <r​emiliascarlet> m-relay: "In xmr, we do privacy" Considering most of you use Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android, your privacy has been compromised even while on Monero to be honest.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Who??

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> most of _us_ use linux

Then that's great.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Even in monero-support its probably like 2% Windows users

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Windows doesnt even like monero

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Will delete your node to protect you

I remember seeing so many Monero YouTubers who record their screen from Windows or macOS, so I think that's cringe.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Hey were not all that guy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> i cant afford a mac!

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Or windows!

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> :D lolol

I don't even know how to use Windows, I've been a Linux user for life.

<p​an6ea:matrix.org> It’s good to familiarize yourself with privacy tools knowing they won’t protect you before you go to actually implement them in your day to day

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Naaa

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It just delete the miner :p

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> But yeah, im not talking about tin foil

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Peopke can use whatever they want

<p​an6ea:matrix.org> Coping bc I run my wallet on mac

"Coping bc I run my wallet on mac" *client side scanning intensifies*

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monerod has mining code in it, so some delete it (no? Im guessing atm)

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Nop, I never got monerod deleted

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Or it's a fluke

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> But I got the TOR part of featherwallet deleted lol

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> in any case, go in AV setting and exclude whenever you put your monero stuff from it

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> > <r​emiliascarlet> m-relay: "In xmr, we do privacy" Considering most of you use Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android, your privacy has been compromised even while on Monero to be honest.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> By privacy, i didnt mean extremism

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> monero is money

Neither did I.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Reason why windows delete is resonable. A big amount of malware use monero mining on infected computer

<w​hiskey00:matrix.org> How would we do that ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Gotta decide which one is good

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And not totally cucked

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Blackberry released a tablet called the Playbook

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> A few months later, Amazon released the Kindle Fire

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> That's easily busted argument.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Linux is the easiest OS to backdoor

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Linux is fun when ppl dont have boot or root passwords :D

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Reminds me of windows' sys admin acct

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> i'm would not be surprised that half of this year CVE where paid for backdoor, dismissed as bug because no one can prove if the intension was a backdoor or if it was just a DEV oops

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Disclaimer: i dont use linux. I'm hardwired into the net

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 1 - look as a widely used dependeicies. Take GLIBC

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 2 - parse publicly available list of dev from github

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 3 - inspect code quality of each dev

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 4 - check bank account of each dev (3 letters scammers can do that easy)

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 5 - pay big money to a broke dev that make good code, for a little "extra bug"

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 6 - ???

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 7 - profit

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> To get a backdoor into windows or macos, you have to go thru the hiearchy (because you don't know what dev work on what part of the code)

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> You have to pay more money and a lot more people will be aware of the backdoor

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 1 - contact crosoft head for backdoor implant

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 2 - head redirect request to the supervisor for that X windows module

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 3 - supervisor redirect request to one of the DEV

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 4 - in case of crosoft, there is usually 2 auditor per windows section, so you probably have to pay them too so they stfu

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 5 - then you have to tell the books about what's that extra 25M of unaccounted money..

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> real pain

<n​aphtha:kyun.host> trvthnvke

<9​_11_01> can i still use other coins if i get xmr on trezor

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> The flaw with ravs reasoning, is that you need to pay extra fir a dev to implement a backdoor in windows

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> they sign ndas and know what they are doing

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They do it in the regular course if business, and its not hush money, its simply not relayed to lower level workers

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Blackberrt had backdoors forever, as a feature

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> BBM "encrypted messaging" had a key that was shared with governments

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Corporate structure doesnt make it more expensive to backdoor. Apple does it for free

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Because they are _told_ to

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> if were talking about getting "china" to add a backdoor to "american" windows, yes, china needs to jump through rings if fire to get some people to do the job quietly

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Whereas a covery google employee can be bribed to slip holes into pr to linux, and a lot of it go unnoticed due to social engineering

<u​nofficialxo> What is the best XMR wallet for ios

<u​nofficialxo> also to follow up the best application to purchase XMR, Kraken?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Cake Wallet / Monero.com wallet I think

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Monerujo don't have ios support right?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> You really think only ussa want backdoor into an OS used internationally?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Of course many other actors want there backdoor into every OS they can

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> s/OS used internationally/Most used Desktop OS of the world/g

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Nope! :D

<u​nofficialxo> I don not plan on using XMR for nefarious activity. I would just like to invest. I see the potential in the coin

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's why I usually say that all OS sucks.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> They all have state mandated backdoor in them

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> and some Linux distrib are worst too

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> For example default Ubuntu install is less secure than Windows default install

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Mark shuttleworth "we have root already... you already trust us"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yep

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Root acct totally unprotected

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Linux more secure is a myth, it is only more secure if the user managing it have a brain and deal with it properly

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> That one was funny thu : nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-33376

<u​nofficialxo> can you use cake wallet through chromeos

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> firewalld too

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Doubt it

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-11360

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Just exploit Linux firewall

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> literally

<r​anger_emdin:matrix.org> where is the monero white paper? can u link please

there is no monero whitepaper. there is a cryptonote whitepaper but a lot of it is out of date for monero

We have some stuff here getmonero.org/library

<9​_11_01> yo can i still use other coins if i get xmr on trezor

yes

infact, you wont even see that you 'have xmr' on your trezor

there is no app to install, you just plug it in when your monero wallet asks you to insert your hardware wallet

<9​_11_01> when i switch to universal firmware will it ask for a seed again

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Reason why it keeps getting developed lol

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Also ofrn likes back doors

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Hand up ass!

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Hahaha. 100

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> hey guys look at this cool new cryptocurrency which website just pop up: getmonero.org might be revolutionary

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Only use port 80

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Thnx

<u​nofficialxo> Can you transfer XMR to a wallet address through kraken? Or exchange xmr into bitcoin then bitcoin to address?

<s​gp:magicgrants.org> Yes, you can withdraw XMR from Kraken in most countries

<9​_11_01> yo on trezor when i switch to universal firmware will it ask for a seed again

Never encountered those words myself

You've written your trezor seed down so it should be ok

<e​rembax:matrix.org> When I sign a message with an address, the message and the signature is separate. With GPG it is like one blob of text if you know what I mean. Would it be an idea to have a standard for signing with an address where the output is also structured as one blob of text?

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> What is best option of these? Trezor, Old Pixel running Graphene, Old laptop running a Linux distro and Feather or Monero Seed Signer when that is out in 5 years

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> Or Pen and Paper

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Trezor and Monero Signer is hardware "cold wallet"

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Other stuff are connected on internet.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I would go for the monero signer or Trezor

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> But I think it's possible to make Monero seed signer right now, right?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Or it was something else...

plowsof: I wrote down my seed. Do you know where I put it?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> seedsigner.com

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Yep, just make your own, no need to wait 5 years

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> I'm not sure, but I think i'd rather wait until it's more widely adopted

<7​0726f746f67656e> out of curiosity, what is a seed signer?

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> Is TAILSOS on an offline computer be a good option

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's safe as long as you ... keep the backup of your seed somewhere safe

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> Can this be used for Monero, or is it just a dumb way to store your seed?

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> It can't be used with any Monero wallets, right?

<s​nowman:tetaneutral.net> I think there is someone making a Monero-specific version of seed signer that could be used with a Monero wallet

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I think you can use it with last version of feather wallet

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Wait, maybe it's only for bitcorn... fsck

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> The Orangeness of the device got me

<9​_11_01> my seed is in my dads safe

<9​_11_01> it'll be akward asking him for the seed

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> We need to petition Seedsigner guys to replace there Monero Orange for some kind of Yellow / Gold for there devices

Lets have a working + maintained firmware first

The dev behind moneroSeedSigner firmware is also currently helping/performing a forensic investigation into the hacked ccs wallet/machine

<e​rembax:matrix.org> Is there a monero equivalent of the BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE format

<e​rembax:matrix.org> I believe that is the RFC2440 format also used by GPG?
