  <i​axat:matrix.org> A small query - to mine P2Pool do i need a dedicated software or can be done using Monero GUI?
• 05:51
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> GUI includes p2pool. P2pool includes a miner. P2pool's miner is (by default) a bit slower than xmrig
• 05:52
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If you want peak hashrates, use xmrig or gupaxx, otherwise you can just use gui

• 11:57
  m-relay
  <j​ulian145:matrix.org> also should i run it with linux or is windows good?
• 11:58
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> linux is a better idea
• 11:59
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> You can just use a mobile wallet too tho. No need for desktop
• 11:59
  m-relay

  I'm trying to get sha3 hashing working for dealing with xmr addresses. Trying to use codeberg.org/maandree/libkeccak at the moment. Seems I'm getting bad output when comparing against a decoded test address from a cli wallet
• 14:51
  rahl
  Looking at the c++ source for xmr's keccak implementation I can't determine what specs have been used
• 14:52
  moneromooo
  Monero (via Cryptonote) uses pre-SHA3 Keccak, as the standard did not exist just yet at the time. IIRC the differences are minute.
• 14:54
  moneromooo
  Keccak's also a small bit of code. You can just lift monero's if the licence is to your liking.
• 15:09
  rahl
  ack, thanks moneromooo
• 15:09
  rahl
  Good to know
• 15:12
  rahl
  The license is probably not an issue for me so might just do that...

  <i​su0:matrix.org> Hello, I’m just getting started with Monero 😊
• 19:32
  m-relay
  <i​su0:matrix.org> Right now, I use a Visa card -> Metamask -> SimpleSwap -> Monero to buy XMR, but the fees are adding up because I’m using a few different services. Is there a more affordable way to do this?

  <l​oeasy6:matrix.org> Hello

  hv-bridge
  <wearethelifersyetagain> localcoinswap?
• 19:33
  m-relay
  <l​oeasy6:matrix.org> Personally I started mining monero to get it but you could try atomic swaps, If I ever buy XMR, I would simple swap to buy it then btc -> monero
• 19:34
  anonim
  You can buy litecoin from cake wallet (mobile), then easly swap it to monero.
• 19:43
  m-relay
  <i​su0:matrix.org> Thanks 😊
• 19:43
  m-relay
  <l​oeasy6:matrix.org> You're welcome

  One of the latest releases of Haveno says it now allows buying XMR without a deposit...
• 19:44
  BlueyHealer
  Haven't tried though.
• 21:06
  m-relay
  <p​rivacyx:monero.social> That is correct there is a limit to max of 1 XMR but it will open up the path to Monero for new users.

  <w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> What do you guys think about gnu taler? EU financed project for anonymous payment customer-side
• 21:12
  m-relay
  <w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> Independent of currency
• 21:24
  BlueyHealer
  From what little I've listened about it on Libreplanet, seems like that is not quite equivalent to XMR, it's more of a card replacement with the lack of receiver privacy.
• 21:24
  BlueyHealer
  So they'd apparently need to coexist
• 21:25
  » BlueyHealer just remembered a paper she wanted to read on it but there's no time now
