<k​lausschwab:monero.social> John: Discord is down the hall and to the left.

Discord is gay.

<p​reland:monero.social> First person to bring me this guy’s head on a spike gets 1 XMR

<p​reland:monero.social> (Guys this is a joke don’t actually do this)

<p​reland:monero.social> (Or do; just don’t expect me to pay you for doing the Lord’s work)

<s​trawberry:monero.social> doubt any of it's real, the bots just want to give the impression that this room is for criminals

<s​trawberry:monero.social> like this one

<p​reland:monero.social> Stupid glowies

<p​reland:monero.social> Also why do people think that Telegram is safe in the year of our Lord 2024?

<s​trawberry:monero.social> that's how you can tell they're glowies

<s​trawberry:monero.social> trying to get people to use telegram of all things

<k​lausschwab:monero.social> "Not paying taxes for Israel is......LE BAD!"

<s​trawberry:monero.social> sorry what do taxes and Israel have to do with what he said

<k​lausschwab:monero.social> Im pretty sure he's a certain other troll's alt

<p​reland:monero.social> I know that ErC got laughed out of the community for it but like

<p​reland:monero.social> Can we have at least a *light* CoC for Monero? Nothing Rust Foundation crazy, just enough that these absolutely absurd things that we see are completely “non-canon”

<p​reland:monero.social> Like I feel like a simple “don’t kill people and don’t steal from people” would defuse like 95% of the craziness

<p​reland:monero.social> If you are feeling *extra* authoritarian, you may even advocate against physical violence 🫢

<s​trawberry:monero.social> maybe leave out the stealing part, considering the discussion about botnet miners earlier

<s​trawberry:monero.social> and didn't you violate this CoC right here?

<p​reland:monero.social> ‘‘Twas a joke, and was immediately expressed as such

<p​reland:monero.social> Tbh I’m not sure that we should *support* botnets

<p​reland:monero.social> Ig if we can’t get rid of them then oh well 🤷‍♂️ people gon do people stuff

<s​trawberry:monero.social> there's 2 separate questions involved with the botnets

<p​reland:monero.social> But I don’t want some stupid ass situation where we have a keynote speaker at MoneroKon 2077 saying “We deeply value our botnet runners”

<p​reland:monero.social> Yes; 1. Is a botnet stealing, and 2. Should we do something about it (or can we even do something about it)

<s​trawberry:monero.social> whether it's immoral to run one, and whether it's actually practical and beneficial to disadvantage them in the pow

<s​trawberry:monero.social> yes exactly

<p​reland:monero.social> Tbh I’ve been thinking abt 2 and I can’t figure out a way to fix it without also killing miners who aren’t using Threadrippers and whatnot

<p​reland:monero.social> Which would be arguably worse than the botnet Skynet scenario

<p​reland:monero.social> The issue is just the *economics* of it: running a botnet is by far the most economical way to mine for XMR, even though botnets are inherently unstable and mine inefficiently on their host machines

<s​trawberry:monero.social> yeah the last thing we want is for a big botnet to close down and suddenly nanopool has 60% of the hashrate

<p​reland:monero.social> My only hope is that as it becomes more difficult to actually *create* a botnet in the future that the issue will subside

<s​trawberry:monero.social> its better if the distribution moves slowly

<p​reland:monero.social> Hopefully that happens gradually and not all at once lol

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah

<p​reland:monero.social> Also what in the world happened to p2pool becoming a thing; it looked like that was going to happen once whichever pool it was closed, but then p2pool just reversed ground

<s​trawberry:monero.social> talking about minexmr?

<p​reland:monero.social> Xmrsupport? Idk the pool name

<p​reland:monero.social> That one I think

<p​reland:monero.social> Whichever one basically said “yeah we out now, pls use p2pool so you dont 51% the network immediately after sunset ight bye”

<s​trawberry:monero.social> yeah according to ofrn, p2pool miners pay 20% of their revenue in consolidation txs

<p​reland:monero.social> Geez

<s​trawberry:monero.social> since p2pool produces loads of really small coinbase outputs

<p​reland:monero.social> Well that might do it

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah I hadn’t thought abt that….

<s​trawberry:monero.social> wait dont quote me on 20%, but it was pretty bad

<p​reland:monero.social> Even 5% would be a dealbreaker for many

<p​reland:monero.social> I mean that basically prices out anyone that actually is, you know, paying for their hardware and electricity 🤫😉

<s​trawberry:monero.social> i suggested it would be possible to have something like p2pool with less regular payouts to avoid that

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah, I thought that’s how it worked

<p​reland:monero.social> Idk why I thinked that, but 😂

<s​trawberry:monero.social> like maybe you only get an output each month on average, but it's worth the same as the equivalent small p2pool outputs for a month put together

<s​trawberry:monero.social> I don't see any reason you can't change p2pool params to make that tradeoff

<s​trawberry:monero.social> but I don't know enough about p2pool to say for sure

<p​reland:monero.social> If I ever get a computer that can actually mine a share in a feasible amount of time I’ll probably look into p2pool

<s​trawberry:monero.social> dont bother, just solo mine

<p​reland:monero.social> I was literally about to say either that or just lottery mine

<p​reland:monero.social> I’d basically be making the same either way 😂 tail emission go brrr

<s​trawberry:monero.social> as you say, it's not profitable no matter what you do

<s​trawberry:monero.social> so might aswell solo mine for the psychological profit

<p​reland:monero.social> Lol

<s​trawberry:monero.social> and because setting up p2pool can be a pain if you don't already have a full node and everything

<p​reland:monero.social> Ethical gambling

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah

<p​reland:monero.social> I will say though, if Monero’s value goes up….

<p​reland:monero.social> That changes the calculus quite a bit

<s​trawberry:monero.social> meh, I just wanna be able to say I solo mined a monero block

<p​reland:monero.social> Which reminds me: is there any way to increase the “depth” of Monero?

<p​reland:monero.social> Ie make it so that a piconero isn’t the smallest

<s​trawberry:monero.social> actually i think you can use p2pool with remote nodes now? again dont quote me, but is this not how gupax works?

<p​reland:monero.social> I say this because we can only reduce the transaction cost per byte down to 5% if it’s current value

<s​trawberry:monero.social> why on earth would we need MORE divisibility than piconeros

<p​reland:monero.social> So we could have a Bitcoin-style fee crisis if Monero were to reach any price above 10k

<p​reland:monero.social> I think that’s right

<s​trawberry:monero.social> I dont understand

<p​reland:monero.social> The current fees is 20 pico per byte; this can only be minimized to 1 pico per byte

<p​reland:monero.social> Current transaction fee is around half a cent; if price went above 10k the fee would be 50 cents; it could then be minimized to 2 and a half cents by dropping to 1 pico per byte; any price movement higher would increase this fee with no way to decrease it further

<p​reland:monero.social> The only way would be to make the transactions smaller

<p​reland:monero.social> But you can only add so many +s to BulletProofs before you run into the theoretical smallest limit for a transaction size

<s​trawberry:monero.social> oh I see what you're talking about

<s​trawberry:monero.social> well first of all, xmr = $10k is a nice problem to have

<s​trawberry:monero.social> second I think you could get around this by just, ceil(txsize / 2) * fee?

<p​reland:monero.social> Fair lol

<s​trawberry:monero.social> that cuts it in half again, and so on

<p​reland:monero.social> Hmm

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah that could work

<p​reland:monero.social> I’m just trying to make sure that in the year 5328, when 1XMR is equivalent to 2.36 star systems (non-white dwarf) that the transaction fees won’t be the equivalent of the entire current economic production of 10,000 Earths

<s​trawberry:monero.social> I was actually thinking, to increase fungibility (and technically also to reduce tx size a tiny bit) maybe we could hard code the different fee priorities in 1 byte

<p​reland:monero.social> Hmm

<p​reland:monero.social> That isn’t a half bad idea

<s​trawberry:monero.social> obviously this would need to be reverted once monero needs a fee market

<p​reland:monero.social> Yeah

<s​trawberry:monero.social> but it leaves us with up to 256 options for the fee for now, which is realistically more than enough

<s​trawberry:monero.social> not proposing we actually do this since the benefits are negligible and have to be undone in future, but it's something to think about i guess

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> **Greetings to everyone in the Free World! Congratulations to all of you!**

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> After battling long and hard against the dystopian fears fueled by popular culture, [you are now on the cusp of taking your first step towards your paradise!](patrick-breyer.de/en/council-to-gre…nlight-chat-control-take-action-now) You trust that your governments have good intentions and can create flawless laws to ensure survival in the age of AI.

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> With AI-driven threats looming, it is not only acceptable but essential for democratic governments to implement universal surveillance, including spyware on all devices. And rest assured! Over time, as you enjoy life free from fear, strife, and greed, you will come to appreciate the benevolence of your governments.

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> As for those outside the Free World, their fate is already sealed, so there is no point in trying to help them. Slightly hastening their downfall by normalizing state-mandated spyware is a small price to pay for securing the Free World's democracies forever!

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> To all the FOSS and pro-privacy groups out there, thanks for not causing too much commotion this time. Remember the uproar over SOPA? The Wikipedia blackout and Firefox's **STOP CENSORSHIP** logo? Remember everyone talking about Net Neutrality? Ah, the good old days! Back then, we couldn't foresee how rapidly AI would advance... If people still truly believed that privacy and digi<clipped message>

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> tal rights could still be saved, a huge nag bar in Element warning about Chat Control would surely be staring me right in the face!

<m​attsdogface:matrix.org> *But please don't forget: as it stands, Chat Control is only the first step. If it's not expanded to rigorously censor anti-democratic ideas that threaten your democracies, it will all be in vain... And don't overlook the need to censor anti-environmentalist views, as democracy holds little value on an uninhabitable planet...*

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> telegram is bad

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Any platform is fine for those that have no opsec sense at all. Those that do have a sense of opsec will move out of centralisation, and KYC.

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> They'll realize that a platform that asks for your phone number cannot be used for anything private, when they start thinking a little

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> Depends on how they use the phone number

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> While generally bad yes, using a phone number does not mean that your privacy is completely undermined

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> 99% of the people out there have a phone number from a simcard on themselves, IT IS a KYC by itself. If a service asks for a phone number it is 100% against your anonymity, and by extension, your privacy. The intent is CLEAR

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> Anonymity and privacy are not the same thing

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> With something like Signal, I expect privacy, not anonymity

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> signal is a kyc service

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Depends on the use case yea. If anonymity is a requirement for your opsec, signal is out of the picture

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> Indeed

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> And I mean, just looking for privacy is such a low standard for one's opsec anyway

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Very rudimentary

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> They can figure who uses it, but they can't know what you send and receive except by scanning your own device

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> In reply to this

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> We can say it's the necessary foundation for a threat model

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> For sure yea, but it has its limits

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> bencrypted.gitlab.io/post/8

<b​asses:matrix.org> metadata is as important as message content tho

<s​toplightskydiver:matrix.org> That's true

nihilist:m.datura.network: Telegram is for boomers who think they are dissidents for entrusting a centralized and proprietary Ruso-Arabian chat system that is more than happy to cuck out whenever they get supeanut.

nihilist, especially if the simcards have to be KYCed by law, and "gray" ones are inconsistent AF! From what I read, same goes for online rentals.

remiliascarlet, I have legit seen people being dissidents on there. It is like riding your motorbike without a helmet. Why?

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> blog.nihilism.network/servers/phonenumbers/index.html check out this blogpost/rant on phone numbers If you want my full view on the subject

Love personal blogs, wish my own was not as retarded.

BlueyHealer: Yeah, it's a shame how the establishment loving so-called "rebellious" Unix trannies are more likely to use decentralized and/or federated solutions and build their own, whereas the actual dissidents are the once cucking out for centralized stuff, only to then get mad for being banned off of them for some or no reason.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> signal lost me when they added mobile coin

remiliascarlet, it is especially sad that I am one of the few people in my uni group who cares (although not the only one)... And the one who is terrified of doing anything even remotely risky when it comes to politics.

And anxiety-prone just by existing, which I have no idea how to deal with still.

monerobull, I use it but in a limited way. It is annoying that they insist on using a smartphone for registration and as a primary device. Why desktop hostility?

Having to use signal-cli to stay on a private device is peak UX.

<m​onerobull:monero.social> probably "le safety"

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> # 10 STEPS TO RECLAIM YOUR ONLINE RIGHT TO PRIVACY

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> - ## 1. test

BlueyHealer: "And anxiety-prone just by existing, which I have no idea how to deal with still." Maybe try to increase protein and saturated fat intake, and reduce carb, gluten, and fiber intake (preferrably to 0).

Worked for thousands of people, including even myself.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> i thought fiber is good

BlueyHealer: "Why desktop hostility?" Because us desktop users (techically more of a terminal user in my case) have far too much freedom. Smartphones are the anti-freedom.

Fiber is indigestable junk to the human body, which is why it goes straight to the anus.

Fiber is good, for ruminant and herbivore animals. Humans are neither of the 2.

In fact, if you look at the digestive system of a human, it's actually very similar to that of a wolf or a lion.

Protein? I eat enough meat as is... And what do you mean by carbs/gluten?

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> # 10 STEPS TO RECLAIM YOUR ONLINE RIGHT TO PRIVACY (OPSEC GUIDE *FREE* 2024)

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> - ## 1. Private Messenger

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> The first step is to use end-to-end encrypted private communication stands. The app we recommend is:

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> ### Telegram

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> Telegram is an open-source messenger that is end-to-end encrypted

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> - ## 2. Private search engine

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> You need to use a secure and private search engine application. The best search engine for privacy is:

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> ### DuckDuckGo

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> Duckduckgo doesn't track you and it is a good privacy solution

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> - ## 3. Private cryptocurrency

<g​cal1996:nope.chat> You need to have a private payment system. We recommend:

Ahaha

BlueyHealer: Carbs = carbohydrates. Sugars, seedoils (which is basically gasoline), fructose, rice... Gluten is what you'd find in grains, so like bread, cookies, yeast, and all that junk.

Fun fact: you can very easily look up on YouTube how seedoils are made. Once you see it, I'm very sure you will never eat any seedoils in your life ever again. It's that disgusting!

That is pretty limited, and I am sensitive so mostly averse to sweet things (althouvgh do enjoy some).

gcal1996:nope.chat: "Private Messenger: Telegram" Already failed at this point. And Telegram is not open source, and not end to end encrypted (snakeoil E2EE is the same as no E2EE). "Private search engine: DuckDuckGo" They track your clicks on search results, they even keep tracking you while on that website. You can confirm this very easily with uBlock Origin or uMatrix.

Isn't this satire?

Which one?

The series of messages above.

Ah.

Not sure, since I view this from IRC, it just appears like a series of botted messages to me.

Well, technically they are, because m-relay is a bot.

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> For now, if you are fine with it, you can use a remote node, although I recommend being careful as it has privacy implications

<r​dorsch:matrix.org> Many thanks, that helped a lot. Will continue to experiment tomorrow...and in a few days my monerod hopefully catched up.

<r​ikapilled:eientei.org> Alright, thanks ^^

<r​ikapilled:eientei.org> Bluey, would you recommend buying things online with debit/credit cards. I see people saying it is unsafe and I'm not sure

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> What do you mean by unsafe? As in your money will be stolen? Probably not

<r​ikapilled:eientei.org> No not in that way. People bring up that all online purchases can be traced back to me and I'm not sure if that's something I should completely avoid. Or not even online purchases, just using a card in general

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> I recommend that you read on what a bandwagon is before asking these things

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Just because others do it doesn't mean you have to do it

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Are you trying to hide payments from your bank?

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> If you are, I would say don't use a card that a bank issues to you? If you aren't, then probably not? I strongly recommend that you create a threat model

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Of course, follow the laws in your jurisdiction and ask a lawyer if you have legal questions, I am not a lawyer

<r​ikapilled:eientei.org> Alright I'll do that. My threat model is pretty vague because I haven't really updated it in a few years.
