00:42:23 Greetings to all in the room.  I Grow, supplier cannabis and psychedelics products both local and internationally depending on location 00:42:23 Products such as; 00:42:25 edibles 00:42:27 Disposables 00:42:29 Shrooms(mushrooms) 00:42:31 Weed (bud) 00:42:33 Vapes 00:42:35 Codeine 00:42:37 CBD oil 00:42:39 Packwood 00:42:41 Cocaine 00:52:27 mark_great can you kill politicians? 01:01:51 Yeah sorry I only take applicants that have “assassinated the CEO of a Fortune 500 company” in their resume /j 01:20:14 [@xmrscott:monero.social](https://matrix.to/#/@xmrscott:monero.social) [@diego:cypherstack.com](https://matrix.to/#/@diego:cypherstack.com) 🔨🎯. 01:57:26 We always hear rumors about big crime organizations like the Russian mafia or Mexican cartels allegedly using Monero, but where would they even find that much liquidity? 01:57:27 I don't think I buy it. 01:58:43 And how would they even on ramp/off ramp it? I don't think the infrastructure is there. 02:00:20 For it to be possible it would have to be bottom up, starting with the street sellers accepting Monero, kicking up the earnings, and thus having the organization accumulate over time from small buyers, but I'm not sure how they would even turn that Monero into money they can use. 02:01:30 Even small-medium size sellers on DNM talk on Dread and such about the burden of changing Monero into fiat, there's only so much you can do with gift cards and prepaid visas. 02:02:13 I still believe the Monero infrastructure is not mature enough to be used large-scale, even in black/grey markets. 02:17:47 assuming the mafia exists, it should have its own infrastructure 02:18:06 but when I see "russian mafia" I know I'm looking at CIA propaganda 02:19:11 mexican cartels, that's DEA - those have their own banks 06:13:18 Cant they just exchange for other crypto like btc or bch etc then off ramp to fiat also there is off ramps but volume is not big enough yet 09:04:25 Is there a ddos on monero network? Why so many transactions 09:09:33 Looks normal to me? Only a handful of tx waiting in the pool also. "DDOS" usually results in *thousands* of waiting transactions, not 20 09:12:08 On the p2pool, there 547 miners atm. If the number goes to say 5000, will the uncles approach be enough to make sure all the work by all miners is accounted for? 09:13:15 Is there a write up on how this can scale to thousands of miners? 09:15:27 There can be several p2p chains mining in parallel. 09:19:38 Makes sense, but we do cap the variance for each chain then, right? iirc, this is what bitcoin's p2pool was doing - multiple chains, right? 09:49:40 There are 1500 miners on p2pool-mini already, and it works fine. Yes, uncles approach will work as long as miners don't lag more than 3 p2pool blocks (~30 seconds). 30 seconds is more than enough to broadcast a share to p2pool 10:58:29 Hello, I try to setup SSL on my node. I did a monero-gen-ssl-cert nd launched monerod with - -rpc-ssl, - -rpc-ssl-private-key and - -rpc-ssl-certificate. However, now I cannot connect to my node anymore from my wallet. (It worked previously). Should I not enable SSL? What Should I do please 11:20:38 Did you add "--daemon-ssl enabled" to your wallet command line? Assuming that you use the official CLI wallet. You should check wallet logs because it usually auto-detects SSL 11:31:02 With my CLI it works also without that flag appparently. I Was actually trying to sync from GUI / Monerujo / cake wallet 11:37:08 GUI also works. Just cannot sync on monerujo and cake wallet. There is a SSL checkbox on cakewallet and none on monerujo but it still doesnt work 12:18:32 ssl certs are generated automatically 12:28:47 Is it safe to use --rpc-login without --rpc-ssl=enabled? I've read somewhere that everyone could then read my login credentials by analyzing the traffic 12:29:43 Ssl doesnt protect the traffic 12:30:08 self signed certs are easily mitm'd 12:32:30 I don't know the correct answer for sure, but i think the auth is not sent in plainntext 12:51:16 Yes, auth is not plaintext 13:43:10 Cert pinning should be an option. 13:45:21 Only works in cli 13:45:46 Hopefully gui and other wallets add it 13:53:34 the solution is to present the fingerprint on first connect for the user to manually verify, then store it and alert the user if it changes 13:57:45 But.. cert changes on each node restart 13:58:37 Unless you run the node yourself, then theres no indication whether youre getting mitm or if the node actually restarted 13:59:05 monerod has an option to used a fixed cert which is what I do 13:59:53 pretty sure it even ships with scripts to generate the cert? 14:00:34 That should be fixed ? 14:02:48 Its intentional 14:03:18 Fingerprint ? 14:03:28 Yea 14:03:52 To avoid tracking node across ip changes 16:15:23 Okay, is there a flag to stop this ? I already have static ip 16:15:37 And my tx go through tx-proxy anyways 17:20:05 Yes 17:20:32 ^ 17:24:19 sech1- I really love the design and what p2pool has achieved. I am just trying to figure out how we can reboot p2pool for bitcoin too. 17:25:32 sech1- in your understanding are there any show stoppers if we tried to use the monero p2pool design for bitcoin? I love the uncles idea. We have more payout constraints with bitcoin, but those can be solve separately. 17:26:03 The showstopper is that bitcoin miners are big corporations now, and they don't care. They either use their own pools, or a few centralized pools 17:26:40 p2pool works best when it's feasible for individual miners to mine 17:27:20 That is true, the bitcoin mining industry is so dominated by centralised pool operators, it sucks 17:27:48 But don't you think there might be long tail of miners who care about stepping away from big corporation pools but they don't have an alternative really 17:29:41 not in bitcoin 17:30:02 just check out SHA256 ASIC prices. An average Joe can't afford them 17:30:37 true again.. but there are smaller operations with 2/3 miners who do want to stay away from corporations.. 17:30:54 I agree it seems like bitcoin is a lost cause because of the centralised mining really 17:31:48 it is amazing that you have 1500 miners on p2pool 👏 17:43:56 1500 on p2pool-mini, and 500+ more on p2pool-main 17:44:38 precisely because anyone with a computer/laptop can mine Monero 18:12:44 Is exolix com considered trusted XMR Exchange by the comuinty? 18:12:59 Or exch cx 18:13:16 Is exolix com considered a trusted XMR Exchange by the community? 18:17:03 trusted? Sure. But as centralized swap points, YMMV 18:17:48 Exch has their own reserves but s higher rate, and exolix will KYC you if you trigger their systems 18:18:58 exch 5% fee to buy xmr 18:20:31 Bsx 5% to buy xmr too 18:26:12 Really? Im checking thier xmr to ltc almost no fee 0.2 cent 18:26:22 It's almost unbelievable 18:26:35 >to buy XMR 18:26:47 oh 18:27:21 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/monero.social/RCnkWhUePdOchxtgSjealBdR 18:28:01 Yeah, selling xmr for ltc on bsx is ~0.5% 18:28:29 The market says "ltc can be bought at market. Xmr cannot" 18:30:43 0.17% 18:41:05 yes, buying xmr is not easy, there's a real shortage of coins 18:41:18 selling xmr is easy, almost no fees at exch and exolix 18:58:23 I'd sell my xmr but at much higher prices 19:06:37 It’s going to get even worse as the big players get subsidized electricity rates for helping the power companies 21:13:15 Yeah, but selling XMR is harder because how'd you get the money to you without a KYC method? Only cash in-person or in mail comes to mind, which is not always doable. 21:29:00 I am interested in technical stuff of crypto, not just monero. is this the right place to be? 21:33:12 define technical stuff of crypto? 21:33:33 technical stuff = implementation or theory? 21:33:35 crypto = cryptocurrency or cryptography? 21:33:41 <3​21bob321:monero.social> numbers and stuff 21:34:21 letters 21:34:32 He big and small ones 21:35:08 I too love when you can prove that under Z/Zp where p is a prime, a different generator G will always give you a different sequence of numbers 21:36:18 I think Juliu would disagree 21:36:28 Hi 21:36:32 FUCK wrong alt 21:36:50 Alright. I was Juliu the whole time 21:37:07 It's ok.
