00:11:51 I did an eth txn like a few days ago was like $10. Not as bad as BTC last time I checked it was $230!! <<>> I overpaid for a recent btc tx at 65 cents which was a good thing as it was a 40+ minute block :D so it still got included 00:12:05 montero tx was 1/2 cent 00:13:15 btc is not backlogged now but ofc it can get that way and then ...... 01:50:12 Join us SATURDAY (08/17/24) morning at 11AM-EDT/5PM-CET for Special Guest 01:50:13 Aaron Day! + Price Report 📈 w/ Bawdy Anarchist, News 🗞️ w/ Tony Huszar & MORE! 01:50:15 JOIN US ON STAGE HERE ➡️: streamyard.com/6wvdmqi5u3 01:50:17 WATCH THE SHOW HERE via YOUTUBE ➡️: https://www.youtube.com/live/kdZsy0n0Ov4?si=FaD61nZgBnCjQNI5 01:50:19 WATCH THE SHOW LIVE HERE via TWITCH ➡️: https://www.twitch.tv/monerotalk 01:50:21 (The videos will be synced onto Odysee (https://odysee.com/@MoneroTalk:8) about an 1/2 hour or so after it premieres LIVE for those who want to watch there afterwards ;)) 01:50:23 FOLLOW US ON https://monero.town/u/monerotopia & https://mastodon.social/@monerotopia 01:50:25 Guest segment, Report & News segment sponsored by 🍰 u/cakelabs, u/ & 01:50:27 Exolix.com 02:52:23 If we all use s*ths node, they can’t fingerprint us 04:28:26 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Arkenfox monerod 11:37:03 Is there any point to atomic swaps? 11:43:21 I think it's trustless 11:51:57 good way to get tainted btc 11:56:58 If you have no access to cex, you would look at dex/atomic swaps 11:57:45 Only if xmr was worth more than those tainted btc 😅 12:00:24 I bought them on a KYC exchange though 😥 12:01:32 I'm crossing my fingers they won't get used for drugs and traced 12:11:57 if you have cex btc then no problem 12:19:57 but the moment you exchange them, if they're used for illegal activities later on, lexie may be on the hook, no? 12:22:29 if you a transparent coin with questionable history, or wish to transact in large amounts that would otherwise trigger AML alarms in most centralised services/exchanges then atomic swapping is an option. it would become a problem when clients can perform checks on the transparent coin they are getting in return for their monero. 12:23:11 aaand we must not forget the whole trustless / anonymous thing which is another huge plus point 12:24:45 brings us back to the 7?% mark up iirc that knowledgeable swap providers add on to their obtained coins (presumable they have to mix them) 12:24:59 to make it sustainable and profitable 12:25:26 I've heard of incognet before 12:25:38 ive heard of nope dot chat before too 12:36:41 it's a matrix homeserver 13:48:08 A concern I’ve been thinking about for a while now— 13:48:09 Imagine a future where Monero becomes acceptable in certain jurisdictions, but only under the condition that you provide your view key to the government. If enough users give their view key to the government, it will then significantly reduce the anonymity of the entire network. 13:48:11 Thoughts? 13:49:49 isn't the introduction of fcmp going to increase the effective ring size from 16 to almost a million (or something like that)? 13:49:51 in that case, it shouldn't be much of an issue imo 13:49:53 could be wrong 13:53:02 I’ll have to check; if so then it wouldn’t be as big an issue 13:53:03 Though if an entity were to have access to let’s say just 20% (would likely be more) of all outputs known for an extended period of time, it would reduce the amount 13:53:05 Though even then you’d still have millions to guess from 13:53:26 Tbh I should probably research more into what fcmp actually *is* 13:53:27 It kinda seems like magic ngl 13:55:29 https://www.getmonero.org/2024/04/27/fcmps.html 13:55:31 this is my source... direct words from luke himself 13:55:33 and yep, it kinda seems like magic 13:57:12 Is there a testnet for fcmp currently? 13:57:21 nicevps had all of their servers seized because of breachforums allegedely using them 14:43:26 Does monero use encryption of RPC connections by default? 14:45:40 Is there a way to find out what the defaults are BTW when running monerod? 15:48:10 from my testing, `monerod` deploys SSL certificates for RPC automatically (self-signed certificates) 15:48:11 however, how you want to connect to the RPC is up to you 15:48:13 in my testing, I was able to invoke JSON RPC calls and sync my wallet through both HTTP and HTTPS 15:48:15 to use HTTPS, you have to explicitly mention it in the URL of the node, for example, 127.0.0.1:18089 will be using HTTP by default and https://127.0.0.1:18089 will use HTTPS 15:48:49 from my testing, `monerod` deploys SSL certificates for RPC automatically (self-signed certificates) 15:48:51 however, how you want to connect to the RPC is up to you 15:48:53 in my testing, I was able to invoke JSON RPC calls and sync my wallet through both HTTP and HTTPS 15:48:55 to use HTTPS, you have to explicitly mention it in the URL of the node, for example, 127.0.0.1:18089 (equivalent to http://127.0.0.1:18089) will be using HTTP by default and https://127.0.0.1:18089 will use HTTPS 16:16:42 The U.S. government has cracked down on the privacy wallet samourai wallet. Does Monero have similar risks? 16:17:59 In fact, Monero is more suitable for money laundering than Bitcoin‘s coinjoin 16:23:36 monero, by design, is quite resilient to government crackdown imo 16:23:37 as long as internet and peer-to-peer isn't banned, monero should be working just fine 16:23:39 the worst I can think of is probably enforcing deep packet inspection through ISPs... but then, monero would change their packet structure and be fine 17:17:07 what about their domains? 18:14:30 what’s the current highest volume dex exchange for xmr/btc with atomic swaps? 18:15:47 nope 18:47:17 Revuo Monero Issue 207: August 8 - 15, 2024. https://www.revuo-xmr.com/weekly/issue-207/ 20:02:24 plowsof: plowsof The image uploader on bounties.monero.social doesn’t seem to be working 20:09:19 Nevermind used ImageBB instead 20:27:14 did it mention any errors (file format/size not supported?) 20:32:59 Nah, but did just sit there for about 20 mins uploading and still nothing, I just put on 3rd party site.

Element would have already crashed by now on my phone 22:27:09 Is this functional or just mock-ups ? 22:27:23 That's the good kind of spam, it's OK :) 22:27:25 Ooops! 22:28:42 Pretty much fully functional on stagenet 22:28:52 It’s not just a mock design 22:30:19 You can track it in https://github.com/KewbitXMR/haveno-plus there is a working release but there has been a lot of updates over the last few days which I need to push 22:30:28 no way kewbit is on the verge of winning the jackpot 22:30:38 love the app design 22:31:35 I’d say give me a month max, I’m trying to get Trezor and Ledger implemented as local wallets in case people don’t want to keep their funds on the daemon unnecessarily 22:43:15 Awesome work man, love to see the progress
