<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> So uh

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> Is this legit

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> antidark.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=10

<m​mxxx:monero.social> they seem unhinged

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Like aws?

<m​cneb10:envs.net> what if we turn these sort of sites into an IPFS thing

<m​cneb10:envs.net> iirc it's possible to host a site of fully static content over IPFS which is not possible to DDoS

<m​cneb10:envs.net> distributed website storage

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Am I the only or did Matrix/Element pushed an update? Mullvad/Tor browser says unsupported browser

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> maybe

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> they claim to have robbed DNMs

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> which is still a crime lol

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the silkroad hacker who did basically the same exact thing (without causing a bunch of harm to everyone on the bitcoin network to do so and was actually paid by Ross afterwards for the "security audit" still went to jail)

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I'm sure cakewallet and a bunch of other businesses could sue them for damages

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> and basically every monero user too

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Alert: class action lawsuit incoming from the monero anonymous community against antidarknet anonymous group. More information as the situation unfold

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> hell yeah

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> That is probably because it's based on Firefox ESR, which is apparently not supported. it used to work, but now it doesn't because they added a use of an unimportant-seeming web API that isn't present in ESR. that's what i heard at least

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…ero.social/uOnUomKoiGApmpKXrDPOKLqa

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> yes that is there response

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> I see. that is, i didn't see. morg moment?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> morg moment?

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> matrix.org

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> ah yes

<u​sr:kimapr.net> this is gonna take a while

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> matrix.org moment

> have a federated chat protocol

> use the central instance, making it omnipresent

<u​sr:kimapr.net> I joined the room on non-morg, still not seeing the messages.

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> actually i looked at the screenshot again. it's all completely different messages.

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> so of course i wouldn't see the messages they don't actually exist here

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Hey I just reached 60 members on my Monero signal group. If you want to join too that’d be dope

I'm seeing a lot of growth on my pruned blockchain. It went from 76G to 81G in just a week. Is this normal or related to the DOS attacks?

<p​lainred:matrix.org> There has been spam by a group called anti-darknet I believe

<p​lainred:matrix.org> There’s a post about it on the subreddit I think

I saw that. Sounds like it's the feds.

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Apparently they helped to stop red markets and support black markets. Not the typical play of feds

Well it sounds like that was an unintended consequence. Their stated MO was to stop DNMs. Sounds like The Man.

what are red markets?

markets that go down instead of up

this confuses me, so I get black markets wrong also, as free (unregulated and not paying extortion) markets?

<s​trawberry:monero.social> markets which are actually immoral rather than just illegal

<s​trawberry:monero.social> the example the antidark guys kept using was CSAM

ah, now I get it, so cp, snuff, red rooms and sh*t like that are red markets? and like drugs, arms, paper to regain liberty darknet markets?

s/darknet/black/

<s​trawberry:monero.social> correct

thank you :) I think I have seen post from that insane group on X, but I think they are more afraid that XMR has a bad impact on the value of BTC in the future (only my impression)

<s​trawberry:monero.social> I'm just glad they were spamming for spam's sake, rather than to deanonymize people

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> mine still seems to be 76G.

<k​imapr0:matrix.org> was there a hard fork?

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Every two months

Hello, newbie here. I've downloaded and verified the binary package and put the files into /usr/local bin on debian. then i ran monerod from cli expecting to see some GUI. The output says .."daemon will start syncronizing..." but nothing else happens as WARNING: no two valid DNS TXT records were received

 

am i doing something wrong?

monerod is the daemon, not the gui

beerbandit

How is the gui cmd then? But still the deamon does not sync anything.

I don't remember exactly but I think it has gui in its name

Also, will it need to download the whole ~86GB Blockchain? If this is the case the systemdrive of the system intended to use is to small.

there is no graphical user interface for monerod. as to why it's not syncing you could try to run monerod with --log-level 2 to see if you gain any other info as to whats happening

beerbandit: I think it has to download the entire blockchain yes, but there are light clients that don't need to

86GB is the pruned node size (you need to pass a flag to monerod for that).. you'll need to specify a --data-dir with enough room to store the chain .... but consider the I/O speeds of whereever you are pointing it to e.g. an external usb spinning disk drive is not the best option

log-level 2 shows Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds

as warning. Else it seems to talk to different ip's but all the connections are getting dropped. Is that usual behavior of the daemon ?

No, what version are you using?

18.3.3

when writing "version" into the daemons cli: Error: The daemon software version is not available.

Im just trying to run it on tails with persistancy, maybe there is a dog burried ...

Hmmmm tails

so the daemon is trying to connect through tor? I'm no expert but maybe that's a problem

yes. hmm. but if it does not run on tails, where is the privacy then^^. Yes. Tails squeezes all traffic through the tor network as far as i undestand.

primarily the privacy is in resisting analysis of the blockchain to trace who sends money where

I'm not saying it's impossible to use tails but you may need to do some configuring to get it to work

beerbandit featherwallet.org has remote nodes and tor out of the box.. specific version for tails too

and it seems im facing a lack on information about the config. All i found was a mention to set a proxy within monero.conf which is not existing as fas as i see searching through the filetree

ill have a look there, thx.

monero dot conf would be your config file, can be named anything

<3​dprinterthing:tchncs.de> What happened to this chat? I come back after a few months and it completely loses its Monero branding and avatar.
