<b​asses:matrix.org> madman lol

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> nononynous: how would that be done with a round-robin of volunteer nodes?

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> There should be no round-robin, if there is then it should be redirects

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> monerohash showed there were more than 4000 xmr nodes all over the world. My question is whether these nodes are just reachable nodes or all of them

<n​ononynous:monero.social> Is there a command to remove a specific transaction in my node ?

<n​ononynous:monero.social> Expect posting on monero.town + reddit idk honestly

where is the transaction in your node? mempool? flush_txpool ?

<n​ononynous:monero.social> It was in mempool, thanks your command solved the problem

<n​ononynous:monero.social> The transaction was too big to be relayed but it kept it in mempool so displaying double-spend attempts everywhere

we have to mine our own mordinals now

did the reference wallet create a too big transaction?

<n​ononynous:monero.social> I forgot if it was on feather or the wallet-server-rpc

<n​ononynous:monero.social> But it tried to consolidate above 100 UTXOs

interesting, that sounds like a bug

<n​ononynous:monero.social> My node shown

<n​ononynous:monero.social> notify::send_txs provided message exceeding covert fragment size

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Did u add txextra stuff?

<a​tori_0xbdc3ab4e:matrix.org> I heard something about chainalysis using DNS to hijack public monero nodes and intercept their traffic or something is this correct?

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> I heard the same thing. Can running my own node help? i used to send transactions via my own node but without VPN or Tor on my node

<h​bs:matrix.org> Is there some special magic that needs to be summoned to build lws on Ubuntu? I get an error at the final linking stage about crypto_verifier_32 not being found iirc

a​tori_0xbdc3ab4e:matrix.org: here's the chainalysis presentation on that topic: odysee.com/@karapara:8/chainalysis_XMR:6

as far as I understand, chainalysis has been running tatletale nodes, that keep track of the wallets' activities that connect to them.

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> So, run your own node

d​ufebo98:monero.social: ues running your own node helps. If you can't run your own node try to use tor for connecting to remote nodes as much as possible.

d​ufebo98:monero.social: you don't need to hide your *node* 's connection to its other peers behind a vpn/tor. Monero's dandelion++ stuff helps obfuscating the source of the tx announcement origin.

That is, even if your monero node is on the clearnet, some third party surveiling your node's published transactions cannot be sure that your node was the origin of these new transactions.

the chainalysis video actually does a good job of explaining the efficacy of dandy++ imo

on a related note: was that video the best PR monero has had in a long while?

The guy was actually praising Monero... to the IRS agents of all people (!).

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> That’s cool. I love monero

and yet people on reddit are trying to "dox" him, sad

<a​tori_0xbdc3ab4e:matrix.org> I do, but I also run a public one on a VPS and now I'm wondering if it can be hijacked via DNS.

plowsof: well he did dox himself, during his presentation.

a​tori_0xbdc3ab4e:matrix.org: "hijacked via DNS" <--- explain this term please.

<a​tori_0xbdc3ab4e:matrix.org> Ah looks like they set up reverse proxies to real nodes: reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1fbp2c2/what_chainalysis_does_is

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Who we doxxing?

Someone's true name.

the based thing to do is learn from/improve Monero after that video leak (which is what is currently happening 💪)

Yeah

What doesn't kill..

Well, as far as I understood the abovementioned presentation, co-spending is an issue with monero (which, FCMP's should alleviate).

However, the tattletale node issue is something another.

To that, my recommendation would be using Tor whenever connecting to a stranger's remote node.

anon networks can only do so much. we depend on the remote node to tell us the state of the blockchain... which decoys to use (attack vector for guessing thhe real spend).. the network fee... what is the cli flag again? "--this-is-a-spy-node" when adding a remote node lol

<b​asses:matrix.org> odysee still have buffering issues?

b​asses:matrix.org: does it? I used it to see the video without issues.

<b​asses:matrix.org> doesn't matter tbh, also pointless

<b​asses:matrix.org> however, everyone that works in chainalysis is a 🤡

<b​asses:matrix.org> last time I used it sucked

Chainalysis dudes are just doing their "jobs." If Monero can be traced, it's not their fault imo.

You can feel anger and disappointment. However, that shouldn't be the community response to this.

<b​asses:matrix.org> agree, at least this video brought awareness and confirmed some theories

Yes.

<b​asses:matrix.org> need to focus on improving all possible attack vectors, whilst advocating for good OpSec and threat modeling.

<b​asses:matrix.org> mitigating all possible*

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> improving the attack vectors 😃

<b​asses:matrix.org> got caught

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> happens to the best of us. wearing too many caps will do that to ya

<b​asses:matrix.org> need to rotate identity

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Fake death and born again

<d​ufebo98:monero.social> When will FCMP++ be available? I have donated

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> 2026

What's the process for briding a monero matrix room to libera IRC? For example, can I request `#monero-turkce:monero.social` matrix room to be bridged to libera IRC?

<b​asses:matrix.org> 2025

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Maybe testnet

b​asses:matrix.org: 2025 for FCMP would be great.

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> 2025 mainnet is too optimistic

I have been trying to follow the fcmp developments from monero.observer. Is there some other place that keeps tabs on development-happenings with FCMP (other than the monero-dev room, I know).

Well, I have seen worse from CoinTelegraph. They could have asked in the very title "Is Monero dead?" or similar after all

if theyre hosting a minecraft server on the same ip, theyre good people

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> You know what would be cool though, a Monero casino on a Minecraft server with customer texture packs and models and play with real XMR. A kid friendly illegal underground gambling ring.

i wouldnt advise anyone to deposit monero to a minecraft server though planetminecraft.com/server/bitvegas-built-in-crypto-casino

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> Lol I know the owner of that
