<t​hekernel:matrix.org> Hey is anyone having a hard time syncing wallets?

<t​hekernel:matrix.org> It just took me 8 hours

<t​hekernel:matrix.org> over TOR

<t​hekernel:matrix.org> it usually takes me about 1 hour

TOR

Would make it take much longer, no?

I hear that tor has been slower than usual recently

it's like every time someone asks a question they are one matrix.org x.x

Are you implying something about Matrix users? :D

noo i meant it's not even possible to answer the question due to cloudflare delaying the reply

Anyone know how to build Haveno from src? I'm getting errors with "make"

Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:3.2.3.

Seems like a dependency issue?

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> Hi,

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> I'm trying to get myself registered on repo.getmonero.org so that I can submit a proposal for the CCS, but have a problem I explained to Gitlab support:

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> I'm trying to register for repo.getmonero.org/monero-project which requires an Enterprise Edition signup.

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> I've input the details and my current, valid, working email address:

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> <email address>

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> and completed the captcha.

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> I'm taken to:

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> repo.getmonero.org/users/almost_there

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> and do not receive an email. Emails from other entities are being delivered to the same address (there is nothing wrong with the email, network etc.)

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> I retried twice with 'request new confirmation email. ', and tried in latest Firefox and Edge browsers, but it made no difference

<d​otnetspec:matrix.org> How can I register for an enterprise edition account and access and make contributions in repo.getmonero.org?

how does zcash compare to monero? (and i mean in terms of technology - i know the anonymity set in zcash is way too tiny)

aaabbb, supposedly it is a lot more prone to spam tx attacks

Mochi101: i've heard it's more vulnerable to active attacks, but that the unlinkability and anonymity is superior to monero (on a technical level) against passive attacks. does that seem right?

I doubt it, isn't privacy opt-in?

So you have a chain with only some txs obfuscated and others are transparent.

Where as with Monero all are obfuscated.

i mean on a technical level

That I don't know.

am i right assuming that ring signatures will mimic real addresses? eg people may be using my own address as decoys? (i'm sure i got much terminology wrong there)

yes

Mochi101: statistically, how often does that happen?

if something was said i missed it (even tho using znc lol)

2

How often does what happen?

any person's given address being used as a decoy

like is my address (or whatever) being used on average once a day? once a second?

No, it doesn't work like that.

Probably better that someone else answers.

Or read: medium.com/coinmonks/mapping-ring-s…th-addresses-in-monero-a5543a434684

The article also links this more detailed explanation: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/…le-to-explain-how-ringct-works?rq=1

reading now thx

am i right to say fcmp will completely negate the disadvantages and will turn the blockchain into a black box?

<c​trej:matrix.org> your calculation does not make any sense. Running a 45W miner for 24h costs:

<c​trej:matrix.org> 0.2847€/kWh * 0.045kW * 24h = 0.3074€

<c​trej:matrix.org> People reported that the TOR network has performance issues right now

i am using tor, it does not seem too slow

maybe a little slower than average but not bad

<c​trej:matrix.org> dotnetspec: several people have reported having issues with CCS signup. The gitlab is self hosted, that's why your normal account does not work. I assume some email domains are block to fight spam, which has become an increasing problem. I'd suggest you try another email provider.

<s​rvd:matrix.org> Hi all,

<s​rvd:matrix.org> I'm trying to generate a vanity primary address, but I need it to start with 4F. I've seen addresses starting with that before, but I'm unable to generate one myself. Anyone know why this might be?

<h​elasse:linarphy.net> if i'm not wrong, it's just a matter of bruteforcing long enough

brute forcing is pure chance so sometimes, you can stumble on something in an hour that takes someone else days. but sometimes, it takes you days to do what everyone else is doing in under 30 minutes

question about decoys. let's say i do a transaction to someone. until they spend it, the anonymity set is the size of the whole blockchain. once they spend it, it is 1/16 (number of ring signatures), right?

so what if i speak only french, and then of those 16 possible outputs, only one of them gets sent to a french charity. doesn't that make it obvious which one is the true spend?

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> dotnetspec: what is your username on the ccs?

MOR token on ETH? But then the title of the video linked there is "Why AI Should Be Private and Uncensorable". Private, as an ERC20 token? Yeah, right.

<n​eko-the-gamer:kitsunes.club> I'm not on the ccs

<n​eko-the-gamer:kitsunes.club> what is the community crowdfunding system anyway?

"What is the longest English word with 5 letters?" Venice.ai: The longest five-letter English word is "facetious."

Can't there ever be a positive surprise in such a thing? Sigh.

"I am an AI myself". Venice.ai: ... It's impressive that you're an AI yourself. ...

<p​cre:monero.social> XD

"Would you recommend buying Monero?" Venice.ai: I can't offer financial advice, so research and consult a financial advisor before investing in Monero or any cryptocurrency.

Can't do that, yeah? But at least not woke :)

<p​cre:monero.social> To be honest, it is not a good question to ask an AI :)

<s​rvd:matrix.org> The thing is, I can get other letters (like 4A) instantly, but never 4F

In the unlikely case we can indeed communicate, srvd: What generator do you use?

wow venice.ai isn't just "not woke", it can be downright cruel

it just told me it's a shame that women are allowed to exist when i asked for "something sexist", damn

<p​cre:monero.social> It seems venice.ai can create images.

It can? I tried, and it wasn't in the mood for me

i asked it 5 ways to murder, and after each suggestion it said "note that this is very dangerous and can lead to death. it should never be attempted"

<p​cre:monero.social> Near text prompt you can choose chat or generate image.

<system> file VeniceAI_Playground_v2.5_5.17_2024.png too big to download (2565541 > allowed size: 1000000)

<p​cre:monero.social> VeniceAI_Playground_v2.5_5.17_2024.png

Yup, got it, thanks

Can't argue it convincingly, or even prove it, but it seems Monero addresses only go up to 4B. Thus no addresses starting with 4C, 4D, 4E or 4F.

this is probably due to the encoding, since it doesn't map exactly to binary

eg in base-whatever that it uses, going up to 4C would mean a "1" in a position larger than the size of a monero address

Yeah, it's pretty complicated.

<p​cre:monero.social> I just ordered a 3D-print.

<m​onerobull:monero.social> i hammered my fingers 3 times before giving up after 1.5 out of 24 washers were done

<p​cre:monero.social> Was it worthwhile?

<m​onerobull:monero.social> if you can afford it, id recommend the trezor steel thing, much better experience haha

<m​onerobull:monero.social> i didnt have a holder like that. its probably way easier if you have one

<p​cre:monero.social> The Trezor Steel thing is a 12 word seed isn't it?

<p​cre:monero.social> 100 $ not so cheap.

<p​cre:monero.social> I already have the Stenzel for beating the letters. Now I have to use them.

<m​onerobull:monero.social> yeah, its designed to work with the trezors

<f​:monero.social> r​brunner, a​aabbb: i have a 49.. and a 4A destination that I created with hinto's vanity tool. (One idea is to add to usability for verifying XMR ID's by having the second position indicate the length of the username.) So far I've never sent and funds there, but I will try now and report back.

<f​:monero.social> rbrunner: I read that B in "only up to 4B" as an eight. Nevermind.

<s​rvd:matrix.org> I thought the same after trying with vanity-monero and my own script, but then I saw that all addresses on a certain DNM were prefixed with "4FaTEYjk"

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> that would be an integrated address

<s​rvd:matrix.org> It is, but I'm still not sure how they get the 4F

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> ah ok

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> my integrated ones are all 4B

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> monerosupplie ones are all 4B

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> monerosupplies orders are all 4B

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> if we have 1024 bytes left for tx_extra. Is a .xmr alias system possible to be built on top ?

<p​cre:monero.social> If your TI-calculator supports shift, rotate and modulo of binary numbers you can calculate the sha256 checksum for your 24 word by yourself.

<p​cre:monero.social> youtube.com/watch?v=orIgy2MjqrA

<p​cre:monero.social> You only need H0 and n=1 so no loop.

<p​cre:monero.social> Use some dice for 256 bit entropy add the first 8 Bit of the sha256 output to the 256 Bit and devide it in 11 Bit words.

<p​cre:monero.social> 264/11 = 24 words

<p​cre:monero.social> Might take you a whole day.

<x​fedex:matrix.org> yes, it is
