<a​pplepearshop:matrix.org> Amateurs were responsible for the hack, and I was correct in my earlier assumption that Binance was involved. It appears that Binance were able to freeze $7m of the funds

<a​pplepearshop:matrix.org> If anyone can answer, I have a general question about generating Monero seeds. Can someone explain how entropy is ensured, and what information sources are used to generate sufficiently random seeds from wallets like CLI, GUI, and Feather?

IIRC monero-wallet-{cl,gu}i use repeated keccak on a /dev/random base.

I believe I added a monero-wallet-cli command line option to supply your own entropy to be mixed in as well at some point.

It's /dev/urandom, I just looked. But AFAIK they're basically the same on monero linux.

<a​pplepearshop:matrix.org> Great! So, that means I should be able to use TPM to generate seeds with cli?

If you access the tpm yourself.

<a​pplepearshop:matrix.org> moneromooo Richard Stallman was discussing Taler in an interview a long time ago with Douglas Tuman. You seem to know quite a bit about it, but I only know that it is centralized. Do you think it can be a viable option? Why do you prefer Monero over Taler? I don't think decentralization is a sufficient argument

Sorry, I know pretty much nothing about Taler. AFAIK though Taler is not a payment system though, but more of an adapter type thing.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I would love some context because I heard a lot of people saying "Businesses are prohibited from accepting XMR" but afaik this only concerns crypto providers/exchanges

<d​uggavo:matrix.org> if you get 300 million $ stolen by somalian scam centres, then you probably don't need that money

<m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> I reckon they'll be fine on the 7 million they got back, somehow

<d​uggavo:matrix.org> it's probably an 80yo grandpa

<m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> dang, if I got away with stealing 300 milly thanks to Monero I'd defs kick some back to he developers researchers etc

<a​remor:matrix.org> Early assumption was 100% certainty that a hedge fund was buying Monero

<m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> yeah I haven't seen actual evidence of the alleged theft that would make me give the claim anything other than marginal credibility

<n​oname-user0:matrix.org> pirate hedge fund stealing coins to build a hoard of loot

<3​21bob321:monero.social> What's a pirates favorite letter of the alphabet ?

<m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> XM ARRRRRRR

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> How is the XMRig configuration file set up? Is there a template? After I finished configuring it, XMRig stopped working.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> What did you modify?

Anyone here running 0.18.4.0 full on windows?

Getting a slew of "severe," and "high," threat level positives from Windows defender. I know this is usually nothing, just wondering if anyone can confirm official binaries are clean.

Specifically "Pomal!rfn," and "Wacapew.C!ml" with several EXE's tagged.

sech1: Thanks, will read now. Forgot about that link.

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Check sha256 hashes of binaries

You should check SHA256 hashes of the files

Not the executables, but the .zip archive

I checked hash, all good.

Just always paranoid when defender starts freaking out. A shame they STILL have so much tagged as nefarious.

If youve not added an exclusion folder and placed the downloaded files there, defender will start deleting things when it feels like

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Btw hashes can be replaced with archives if website is compromised, if there other source of hash sums?

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Like on GitHub

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> coin url and user

I've been running a full node for about a decade and have previously made tons of exceptions, just weird it's a new batch each release.

Gitian (soon to be guix (pronounced geeks) build proces is where the "official" hashes are taken from

x3cc you can check the gpg signature of hashes

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> Is there a sample config.json? I want to check where I might have misconfigured it.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> yes

Alright, nice, 0.18.4.0 node up and ripping.

What ever happened to those 5 or whatever Monero splits back in the day?

<x​3cc:nope.chat> You should try to fix your xmrig based on terminal logs, what console says is wrong?

<b​asses:matrix.org> u can see it with each github release I think

<x​3cc:nope.chat> connect error operation canceled

<x​3cc:nope.chat> What this can mean in xmrig?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Whoops, forgot to post it

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> github.com/xmrig/xmrig/blob/master/src%2Fconfig.json

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Bad url, probably

<system> file ima_0874343.jpeg too big to download (9680696 > allowed size: 1000000)

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> ima_0874343.jpeg

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> I tried using these several URLs.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> With ports?

<system> file ima_0087a6d.jpeg too big to download (9590675 > allowed size: 1000000)

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> 10032 10128 80 18192

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> I’ve tried all of these ports.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> and what is the issue when xmrig starts

<x​3cc:nope.chat> He said to me this in dm

<x​3cc:nope.chat> I try to help him too xd

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Maybe check connection to pool with ping or curl?

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/PtEoORYquxMoBqULOTjHNrOg

<x​3cc:nope.chat> 🤔

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Try to ping this ip maybe

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> I can’t ping this address.

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Why?

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> idont know

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> Maybe I need a VPN?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> What do you have set for the coin and algo

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> coin monero

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> algo null

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Change coin to null

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> yes coin changed null

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Working now?

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> no

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> connect error

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> operation canceled

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> try

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> `./xmrig -o sg.moneroocean.stream:10128 -u YOURXMRADDRESSS`

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If this works = problem is your config file.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> if it doesnt work, probably some network issue

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> Where should I enter this command?

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> cmd？

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Yes

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Are you on windows?

<g​ug68hes:matrix.org> yes

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Make sure your virus protector or windows defender has the folder comtaining xmrig excluded

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Also instead of ./xmrig you should use xmrig.exe on windows of course

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ^

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Windows doesnt like monero or xmrig

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Your cmd fonts looks like your original language is hieroglyphs

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Are you from Korea? I heard Korean isp bans mining pools

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Dont need to answer that question

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Not true? Alright

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Sorry :)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> yea. This

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> `xmrig.exe -o sg.moneroocean.stream:10128 -u YOURXMRADDRESSS`

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> i have run in 60 seconds. Did it work?

any know how to get a swp.cx account? i emailed twice and no response

s/any/anyone

Imagine you had emailed them regarding a problem

Never heard of this before. "Members only" is odd

4% fee members only lol
