Revuo Monero Issue 217: October 31 - November 7, 2024. revuo-xmr.com/weekly/issue-217

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> Nice

MoneroKon dates confirmed for 20-22 June 2025, being held @ La Fabrika/Second Culture (previously known as Paralelni Polis)

<m​ak_noob:matrix.org> What is the purpose of the two files: `rpc_ssl.crt` and `rpc_ssl.key` in the `.bitmonero` directory of a node?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> They are autogenerated for self signed ssl certs on your rpc port

<m​ak_noob:matrix.org> ofrnxmr: thanks. So the point is to encrypt RPC traffic?

<m​ak_noob:matrix.org> If at some point I do change/regenerate these files, will clients interacting with my node accept the new keys or complain?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> They are regenerated on each node restart

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Only monero-wallet-cli has ssl pinning (opt-in), other wallets wont complain

<m​ak_noob:matrix.org> What is the purpose of regenerating them at each restart?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Not tracking nodes across ip changes

<m​ak_noob:matrix.org> oh, makes sense. Thanks!

servus

o​frnxmr:monero.social I was taking a quick look at the progress on your basicswapdex work. Nice to see you completing milestones.

Apart from that, I just checked basicswapdex.com again, and for linux, the installation option is still the bootleg scripts, right? I remember some discussion about the prospects of providing AppImage for BSX install. Is that still in play?

On the topic of AppImage for BSX, I remember the problem of BSX having to download multiple blockchains, and how managing such process is difficult with AppImage for it -- but I might be mis-remembering things.

Providing .exe for Windows is good, and the installation UX for linux should be as close to that as well (ie, double click on the AppImage file and done)

<u​ezguczm:matrix.org> why did they disable registers for the monero.social homeserver

<u​ezguczm:matrix.org> why did they disable registration for the monero.social homeserver

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 1. Because the server is having a mental breakdown

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 2. If i told you, i'd have to kill you

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lets just pretend that #1 is the only reason

<d​etherminal:monero.social> I am selling my monero.social user for 100 XMR, DM if interested \s

<d​etherminal:monero.social> I am selling my monero.social user for 100 XMR, DM if interested /s

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> You can if you dm from oftc
