Revuo Monero Issue 221: December 5 - 12, 2024. revuo-xmr.com/weekly/issue-221

<k​ey_brolin:matrix.org> In fact, there are few exchanges, Haveno, for example. If you need to buy Monero, I would recommend Trocador or Exolix, they are not DEXes but you don't need to register to swap Monero

But then you'd have to get some other crypto first, which is back to the same problem)

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Is it a requirement for magic people to whinge about ccs and then shill magic ?

<r​oot:kimapr.net> trocador etc is only of use if you have other crypto, otherwise use bestchange.com

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> there are no real monero bridges

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> current live dexes are BasicSwapDex.com and RetoSwap.com

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> soon Serai.Exchange

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> and i guess unstoppableswaps but those are btc -> xmr only

<m​odul8:matrix.org> will the feather atomic swap bounty actually end up in feather?

Does pool mining benefit from a fully synced local node?

No. But if you have it, you can mine on p2pool

thanks sech1

<f​:monero.social> Great!

i am thinking of mining monero using an older server motherboard

are dual CPU motherboards a good idea?

<d​arkhappyman:monero.social> Hello everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on a hosting provider to host a monerod node, which requires a certain amount of disk space. I'm wondering if you have any interesting suggestions? Thank you!

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> Which planet?

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> Which country?

<d​arkhappyman:monero.social> europe !

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> a) EQUINIX (Germany - Frankfurt am Main);

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> b) E-Shelter (Germany - Frankfurt am Main);

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> c) Equinix (Netherlands);

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> d) NTT (Germany);

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> e) AWS;

<p​ullerchen:matrix.org> You might consider Global-Switch (London) as well;

lmdb domain expired?

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> sech1 Russia is getting 5G... by 2030? 🤔 kod.ru/8707

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Finally low latency high bandwith russian intranet for all your gaming need

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Because there is nothing better than matchmaking in a dictatorial country

Russia is one of the few free countries left in the world.

sech1, not according to the free world brainwashing ;) :P

Since I read both Russian and Western media, and know both Russian in English, I'm in a unique position to see both sides and what they write :D The west is lost in brainwashing and painting Russia as some evil Mordor :D

But this is an offtopic here

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> 5G... by 2030?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 I propose we resolve the status of each of our country with a CS:GO duel

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I didn't care about your retarded Russian shilling lol.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> 5G comes bundled with the new world order in mother Russia!

"Be excellent to each other" rotten, right?

Should I call the mods?

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I can call them for you.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 I agree a lot of people are portraying Russian population as evil while the real evil is the oligarchy in power

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> russia is no longer free

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> they recently arrested one of their ransomware guys

The real evil are ~100 to ~1000 rich families in the West

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> those used to have a "do whatever you want" pass

*very rich and very old families

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> as long as they dont target russia or russian allies

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Spoken like a true rich hater commie!

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 they are evil. Saying one is more evil than the other is coping with reality

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Showing those soviet features!

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> they are all evil*

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> if russia isnt even a save haven for cyber criminals anymore, what does it really have to offer?

Russia power structure is more complicated than "just oligarchy"

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Snow for christmas

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Pierogi!

And trust me, western "democracy" is not what Russia needs/wants

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Organized crime and corruption is far superior than your western neoliberalism!

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Don't forget the personalism cult!

Historically, Russia has always been the strongest under a single central authority (no democracy)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Racists

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 if you say so

Facts

Democracy almost killed Russia in the 90s

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I vote russia > kamala

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 debatable

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> [@syntheticbird:monero.social](https://matrix.to/#/@syntheticbird:monero.social) Make me a sandwich.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Democracy is trash

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> historically, the "benevolent dictator" is the best form of government. the only issue is, the dictator needs to actually put his people above himself

You don't become a biggest country in the world, if you're weak, right?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Sech1, we need mrl to sign off. Revuo cant trust you

And there is no such thing as "dictator" in a pure sense of the word. There are always groups of people in power with their own interests, and the central authoritative figure ("dictator") has to find a balance to rule them all

<b​asses:matrix.org> only in north korea

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> no thanks

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the russian cybercriminals got to drive lambos

So the "dictator" can't just do whatever he wants

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> wen offtopic

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the north korean ones start studying at 5 yo and will never see anything of the billions they make for their country

<b​asses:matrix.org> you can drive a tank in North korea

<b​asses:matrix.org> how did you know?

<b​asses:matrix.org> as far as I know, the only info about NK you get are from third parties

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> it is public knowledge that NK trains and operates a cybercrime taskforce

Also, why do people in the west think "dictator" = bad. When they themselves lived under kings and queens for centuries?

<b​asses:matrix.org> yes

And the UK people still do, lol

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the royal family is a tourist attraction

One thing is sure: if the western countries say "Russia did this, this is bad" - then it's good for Russia, becaus it's bad for them :P

Oh no no no, the UK royal family is not a tourist attraction. Just google how much real power the king has there

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> western countries are too lenient

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> they should have sunk the chinese ship that destroyed the undersea cables

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> they should fight back on cyber attacks

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> but nah, surely if we let russia do whatever they want, they wont get angry and stop at some point

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> because we all know that being passive always works best en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeasement

Russia already got angry and won't stop until it ensured its own safety from NATO, too late for this

<b​asses:matrix.org> russia bad

<b​asses:matrix.org> putin specifically

Putin is the best

The real politician/leader, one of the few left in the world today

Of course he's "bad" for the west because they can't control/coerce him

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >ensured its own safety from NATO

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> nato is a defense alliance

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> anyone who seriously believe NATO would attack/invade russia unprovoked should seriously re-evaluate things

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> anyone who seriously believe NATO would attack/invade russia unprovoked should re-evaluate things

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> anyone who seriously believes NATO would attack/invade russia unprovoked should re-evaluate things

Defence alliance? Lol, should I list countries NATO bombed/invaded, starting from Iraq and Yugoslavie in the 90s?

The only reason NATO didn't bomb/invade Russia, is the nukes

"Defense", my ass :D Funny thing, all countries have "Ministry of Defense", it's just how everyone calls it :D

<d​aknig:matrix.org> then why be afraid of them

<b​asses:matrix.org> please #monero-offtopic:monero.social

<d​arthsofra:matrix.org> Hahaha... Defensive, you say!?

<d​arthsofra:matrix.org> Yeah, look how close NATO bases are to Russia. Nothing offensive about that. Gtfo

<d​aknig:matrix.org> are there any other crypto-related rooms not focused on a specific technology? or at least about ethereum?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> maybe #ethereum:matrix.org ? Lololol

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> rottenwheel: when did you buy moneruj lol

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/MpMffIEADKPJxsFaNbWqyeNf

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> rottenwheel: when did you buy moneroj lol

<b​asses:matrix.org> LOOOL

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I didn't buy it, I adopted it. [@algernon_:matrix.org](matrix.to/#/@algernon_:matrix.org) or Morpheus can confirm they simply didn't have time to keep it up anymore.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> How do you like the dark theme? 😉

<m​onerobull:monero.social> yeah makes sense

<m​onerobull:monero.social> cool!

<m​onerobull:monero.social> the mountains are a great fit, balances it out so it isnt too dark

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Someone was saying the mountains looked corny and we should look into changing that, guess this ties the contest for the time being. We'll see if we can gather additional feedback from others in here.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> kevino: I take it by your emoji reaction you like the dark theme too? :D

<k​evino:tchncs.de> ya ya ,very much 😁

<k​evino:tchncs.de> nice work

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Thanks. Just few things more until proper, official relaunch/announcement!

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> If only that CCS wallet looked at Revuo for a couple minutes... lol

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Wonder why Morpheus left this room, I think he was here. 🤷

The buying and swapping widget is powered by Trocador, right? I think it should say so already in the widget on the homepage itself, not only later if you ask it something

The charts are such an attraction, IMHO they should be present more prominently than that small "Charts" in the header, right side; too easy to overlook

Maybe there are also opportunities to link from some of the homepage info "frames" to some graphs, e.g. from the "Monero is scarce" frame

If found Binance in some FAQ as an exchange to buy XMR. That's a thing of the past, right?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Right

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> Of course you bought it, didn't you read the fine print? We'll be issuing the invoice today

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> 😂

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> rbrunner for some reason the trocador widget isn't loading on a couple browsers I got installed; regardless, I cannot modify those widgets myself, they are directly generated by trocador on their site. cc Algernon (Trocador.app)

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> We're updating our DDoS defense

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> rbrunner Monero is scarce could indeed use an hyperlink with a little image icon or little chart, rather, I'll look into that when wrapping things up for once and all. Good suggestion. Re: binance, yes, I'm aware, up until now it's been all backend, dark theme, cosmetic enhancements, haven't touched actual text yet; not only does it have outdated information, there are a few typos<clipped message>

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I noticed just in a brief cursory look on main page.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> It's Morpheus, what'd you expect from those Trocador guys?

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> Should be working again shortly

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> See what I'm talking about? Lol.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…dacted.org/uTEzYjJvfIYYbIRtAEEmyiRc

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Yeah, that widget _is_ Trocador's, not mine. AnonPay's one in moneroj.net/about has it, wonder why this one doesn't. Any thoughts Algernon (Trocador.app)?

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> By has it, read above re: user not knowing that's Trocador.

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> Would you like having the 'powered by trocador' on the widget? I think we removed it to save space

<a​lgernon_:matrix.org> It's only commented, so turning it back on is quick and easy

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I kind of don't lol.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> It looks neat as-is and those who followed moneroj.net closely, know Morpheus ran it, especially when Morpheus worked for Cake very briefly, for the monero.com's website. There's a historical connection to the project.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Good to know, we'll see if there's more people who think like rbrunner; right now changing it based on just the one guy's opinion seems a bit precipitated.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Thanks for the stellar IT support, guys! lol

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> Yo

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Morpheus: from here!

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> Haha, rottenwheel did not buy it. I was out of time to keep the charts updated to I passed on to him to solve the issues from the code and try to keep the data updated. Moneroj will be redirecting users there for a while, until users get used to accessing it from Revuo

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> Haha, rottenwheel did not buy it. I was out of time to keep the charts updated so I passed on to him to solve the issues from the code and try to keep the data updated. Moneroj will be redirecting users there for a while, until users get used to accessing it from Revuo

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> He/his team is doing a good job so far, I'm paying close attention to see if they manage to keep in a good stand

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> As long as the community is able to access the data to check the charts, that's a win win situation for everyone

<c​ryptomorpheus_:matrix.org> Yeah the dark theme is pretty good

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 100 THANKS SYN

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its a conspiracy

<b​asses:matrix.org> >Either way I’m never too sure about this kinds of things - but I hope if I am in fact not paid that everyone who donated gets a FULL refund otherwise they’ve simply kept the money for themselves.

<b​asses:matrix.org> lol

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> LMFAO

<b​asses:matrix.org> it is not as if it is going to someone's pocket, all funds goes directly to everything that benefits Monero project. It doesn't seem to understand the structure of Monero funding at all

<b​asses:matrix.org> since when he got "hacked"

<b​asses:matrix.org> tell everyone to not donate to Monero lol

<b​asses:matrix.org> tells everyone to not donate to Monero lol, smh

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> rando: ofrnxmr librejo back online

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> nftables weren't set

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> LMAO

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> My post wasnt in response to him

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> He has me blocked ofc

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its not like his ccs has ANY donors

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> ofrnxmr: where is my rocket reaction exactly?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> The original haveno ui money was _stolen_

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I NEED MY DOPAMINE

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Then a generous donor paid _the general fund_ 400k

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Haveno app payments are coming out of the gwneralfund, and 0 of the original donors expected to pay 75xmr for whatever he was paid for

<d​etherminal:monero.social> there was a good exciting monero propaganda video that iirc had a part with "riot" word translated to many languages. does anybody know? maybe you know monerobull @monerobull:matrix.org

<b​eneficialsource:matrix.org> Damn. Hats off to them.

<b​eneficialsource:matrix.org> Haveno is being community funded then?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Twice

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> They also paid 400k to generalfund to buy a domain

<3​21bob321:monero.social> we will see after 2040 with the financial report

<d​aknig:matrix.org> yeah, I just got fucked by eigenvalue (or more probably somebody pretending to be them and coming on the top of the duckduckgo search)

<d​aknig:matrix.org> fun!

<d​aknig:matrix.org> thankfully I didnt invest that much anyway

<d​aknig:matrix.org> lesson learned. dont type 12 seed words on things just because they look like metamask.

<d​aknig:matrix.org> yeah, I just got fucked by eigenlayer (or more probably somebody pretending to be them and coming on the top of the duckduckgo search)

<b​asses:matrix.org> using metamask is a risk

<d​aknig:matrix.org> because of crap like this?

<d​aknig:matrix.org> or is there other reason?

<b​asses:matrix.org> yes and yes

<d​aknig:matrix.org> you gonna tell me or link me?

<b​asses:matrix.org> anything that runs in your browser is at risk

<b​asses:matrix.org> you can search for the amount of malware that targets metamask

<d​aknig:matrix.org> then a phone app?

<b​asses:matrix.org> doesn't it require personal info to register?

<b​asses:matrix.org> why bother with metamask

<d​aknig:matrix.org> no

<d​aknig:matrix.org> doesnt require anything

<d​aknig:matrix.org> and wdym "register" I did not give any personal information to them
