<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Hashrate is back up, miners coming back to xmr and no longer mining that shircoin

<s​huroii:matrix.org> So now that LocalMonero's shutting down, what are some alternatives for buying XMR without KYC/BTC fees? So far I've only seen these:

<s​huroii:matrix.org> serai.exchange

<s​huroii:matrix.org> basicswapdex.com

<s​huroii:matrix.org> haveno.exchange

<s​huroii:matrix.org> But I don't know if haveno is even usable yet. I know that Cakewallet has support for Serai though

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

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> Haveno, it has mainnet implementation released and there are already offers on it that people are doing

<s​huroii:matrix.org> I haven't found a decent way to install that outside of just compiling it yourself (which is out of reach for most people, especially the ones I'd want to be buying Monero)

<s​huroii:matrix.org> But maybe I'm missing something

<s​huroii:matrix.org> Ideally there'd be a way to buy XMR without KYC/BTC swapping, that's also usable by someone who's only barely used bitcoin before (that way I can shill it to some certain people)

ya theres plenty of other ways to buy xmr

<x​mrfamily:matrix.org> There are some p2p trading groups on telegram. Obviously high risk but convenient

highly recommend wizardswap

i bought ome haveno

it was really easy

Telegram is the last place I would want to talk about crypto on. Idk if I cam even use it anonymously without a whole burner smartphone. Crypto has a shaky legal status, after all...

<s​rvd:matrix.org> Can’t talk there without being bombarded with messages from scammers anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They do have anonymous numbers though which is nice. They cost a small fortune now tho

Have not really seen it overwhelmed by scammers tbh, at least more so than other social media/messengers.

"Anonymous" numbers? Not only are they expensive, but the process is unnecessarily complex and probably even harder to do anonymously than registering with a burner number.

Here Telegram is the dominant messenger, along with Whatsapp. Whatsapp I did manage to avoid, but Telegram - not.

<x​mrfamily:matrix.org> obviously I understand. I am just saying for some traders who are legal have msb licence. They might not need to worry about telegram as much as someone else. So its easy for them to connect with there old trading partners there

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Avoid telescam and join the matrix

321bob321, or Xmpp, or maybe Simplex, but Matrix could also suffice.

<3​21bob321:monero.social> The matrix has nioc tho

I just would not interact with crypto-related people on such a transparent platform as Telescam - mostly because crypto's legal status is questionable.

What is nioc?

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Who is nioc is the question

I would be cautious doing it with someone on matrix.org, but overall probably would treat messaging there equivalently to XMPP.

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Yeah verify

I mean key fingerprints better be verified regardless of protocol)

What is nioc then?

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> how do you become a moderator on matrix chat ?

<s​nowden33:matrix.org> What data goes out of my machine to be able to make transactions go through when running a local xmr node ?

<p​epe86frog:matrix.org> Tradeogre.com, majesticbank.sc, more at kycnot.me

<s​huroii:matrix.org> ooo, kycnot is good

<s​huroii:matrix.org> hopefully they stick around for a while

<r​ucknium:monero.social> snowden33: The transaction is sent from your node to other nodes, but other nodes don't know if the transaction originated from your node or if you are just relaying a transaction that your node received from another node, under usual circumstances.

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> Is Capital Flight into Monero Inevitable? W/ Cryptocomicon (MT 311)

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman catches up with Cryptocomicon, a software developer who first appeared on Monero Talk in 2022.

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> The conversation revolves around Bitcoin and its scaling challenges, the emergence of Monero, and the impacts of these developments on the existing financial system.

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> Hear about how Monero serves as a decentralized, private, and fungible alternative to traditional finance, facilitating peer-to-peer transactions without

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> intermediaries.

<k​orgprivacy:matrix.org> They also explore the idea of capital flight into Monero as a means of wealth preservation amidst coming financial turmoil and government crackdowns.

<c​ynicalme:matrix.org> Do you need to run a node on seperate machine from your daily driver client machine would be better maybe? Does this apply to using haveno as well?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> If majority of nodes you are connected to monitoring your traffic, there is a high probability it came from your node.

<s​nowden33:matrix.org> And running the node logs your ip ?

<s​nowden33:matrix.org> Just making sure whats the safest way of using monero nodes, i might just run my own through tor

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Yes use tx-proxy

<r​ucknium:monero.social> dave.jp: If you have Dandelion++ enabled, which it should be by default, then the adversary needs a very large number of sybil nodes.

<c​ynicalme:matrix.org> Is there instructions on how to setup tx-proxy on node correctly?

<j​effro256:monero.social> holy hell has anyone used a coinbase commerce payment portal

<j​effro256:monero.social> it sucks donkey dick

<j​effro256:monero.social> just give me a normal BTC address

<b​asses:matrix.org> funny how the article assosciating Monero with terrorists is written by a FED

<b​asses:matrix.org> >This week, we are talking to Keven Hendricks, an expert and pioneer in Crypto and Drk Web investigations. Keven is the founder of Ubivis Project, a project dedicated to combatting the spread of illicit substances on the depths of the internet. He previously worked in the FBI and DEA, taking part in various task forces.

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Do you think NGOs will write such articles ?

<t​amlotamlugufum:matrix.org> has anyone heard of th dollar vigilante before

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Sells membership to shill coins in private and then participates in pump n dump

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> Sounds like a fun guy 😆

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Yah he has shilled wow to his followers

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> Fuck the feds. They're lazy and stupid. Very few of them I hold in high regard. Most are just over glorified cops lol

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> Does he operate on clearweb or mostly deepweb or some mix? Sounds like a mix between both for that type of operation I imagine, no?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Clearnet search on DuckDuckGo

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Only 899/year 😂

<t​amlotamlugufum:matrix.org> yeah i bought his membership for a few months I didn't really like it, it was mainly just advertisements disguised as news and lots of spam emails

<t​amlotamlugufum:matrix.org> yeah i bought his membership for a few months I didn't really like it, it was mainly just advertisements disguised as news and there were lots of spam emails

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Maybe in off topic you can disclose which shitcoins he is shilling now

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> That would be good 👍

<t​amlotamlugufum:matrix.org> he's shilling a coin called pirate chain and there's another one called dero

<t​amlotamlugufum:matrix.org> he's shilling a coin called pirate chain and there's another one called dero that hes shilling

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Oh the left overs from last cycle

jeffro256, what sucks about the portal? Is it KYC?

(and yes both the VPS and registrar I used just gave me an address to send. Would now be aware of processors possibly used)

<j​effro256:monero.social> It doesn't provide any actual crypto addresses. You have to install from a small set of apps and use proprietary QR codes which don't work most of the time. the shitty ledger app cant even import a QR code from an image

<j​effro256:monero.social> and the feature requires the latest ledger firmware update which is the one which leaks your seed

<j​effro256:monero.social> and u get shunted to so many third party apps in between, your privacy be damned

Ledger? This can work without the hardware wallet?

Also just how bad it is in terms of privacy/anonymity? Are anynof the apps for desktop?

there are other exchanges

capt here :D

<j​effro256:monero.social> no ledger cannot work without the HW wallet

<j​effro256:monero.social> well ig now it can technically since your seed can be exported with latest firmware patch

<j​effro256:monero.social> but usually no

are there any legit xmr only hw wallets?

<j​effro256:monero.social> Nope

<j​effro256:monero.social> Not currently

is it me or are a lot of goverments cracking down on monero with KYC ?

I haven't heard any official govt regs about Monero

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> ARRRRR yea I seen that being promoted by someone on Diaspora*

Then again, they don't really need to mention Monero or any other crypto by name. KYC applies to all financial institutions already. so anyone who deals in both crypto and any regular currency is subject to it.

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> They need to offload their bags

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> Or maybe it was Mastodon... idk

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> Makes sense

<x​mrfamily:matrix.org> Majestic disappeared for a week with user funds. No reason given. They did pay everyone back. But the way they handled situation was horrible. They switched domains and acted like nothing happened
