00:18:43 <m-relay> <d​ufebo98:monero.social> if the GFW great firewall begins blocking monero connections, what can we do?
00:49:19 <m-relay> <c​openhagen_bram:matrix.org> traditional methods of bypassing GFW will have to suffice?
00:49:20 <m-relay> <c​openhagen_bram:matrix.org> xray, or maybe tor snowflake/webtunnel bridges
00:53:28 <m-relay> <c​openhagen_bram:matrix.org> How well do tor bridges bypass the gfw nowadays?
02:40:49 <m-relay> <m​monero:matrix.org> if I only want to swap btc <-> xmr, is there any difference to using basicswap or unstoppableswap?
02:46:03 <NorrinRadd> mmonero bsx: you can go either direction. on US, makers have 1 currency. takers have the other. on the flip side, bsx requires you to run nodes of both chains. 
03:06:08 <m-relay> <m​ilas900:matrix.org> I was trying to test multiple wallets but none of them makes any sense
03:06:53 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> norrinradd, you can use remote monero node
03:07:52 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> but yea, rest is accurate. you can be a maker on bitcoin or monero side. US you can only be a maker on monero side
03:12:36 <m-relay> <m​ilas900:matrix.org> What defi ur referring to
03:13:29 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> basicswapdex
03:21:19 <m-relay> <m​ilas900:matrix.org> So you can stake xmr there ?
03:22:12 <NorrinRadd> it's an exchange
03:22:24 <NorrinRadd> you could always check their website to read more about them 
03:39:44 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Hey guys
03:42:01 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> I'm new here, I've known Monero for a while now (getting to 2 years) but I just got my GUI wallet up and running because I just got my first laptop
03:44:21 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Since I got Monero running and found out Monero got a community, I had to join!
03:46:22 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Anyone got tips on what to do when the GUI wallet is up and running aside me receiving and sending?
03:55:07 <m-relay> <n​ull:unsilence.net> Welcome!
03:55:49 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Appreciate the welcome
03:56:08 <m-relay> <n​ull:unsilence.net> You could try mining? XMRig + P2Pool is the normal way to start earning a little bit I think
03:57:43 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> I'm using a core i3 machine tho'
06:18:28 <m-relay> <1​7lifers:matrix.org> every hash is a vote
06:18:29 <m-relay> <1​7lifers:matrix.org> :3
10:41:25 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> stack wallet or cake wallet for android? which can I actually trust? does anyone have any experience w them
10:43:19 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> cakewallet looks commercialized
10:47:00 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> actually both are commercialized, but cake wallet have more partners features
10:47:34 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm leaning towards Stack Wallet because it has integrated tor support and faster syncing over onion nodes than Cake Wallet
10:47:42 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> but Cake Wallet have nice features for bitcoin users
10:47:47 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> and also background sync
10:48:46 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> I kept seeing ads of people using cake wallet to exchange btc for dominos gift cards and it killed my boner
10:49:23 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> ill try stack wallet, thank you
10:49:56 <plowsof> Anonero is also available. As is Monfluo (a maintained fork of mysu) - these are monero only wallets
10:55:47 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> warning: These wallets are monero only, more stable in this purpose but also don't have an UI as polished
11:00:39 <m-relay> <3​21bob321:monero.social> Stack has a nicer keypad unlock then cake
11:03:06 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> not using coingecko to evaluate coins is considered icognito I guess
11:34:29 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> I hate bisq
11:34:49 <m-relay> <b​lueman88:matrix.org> wont let me transfer btc to stackwallet
12:10:14 <m-relay> <c​arbon12011:matrix.org> How about LWS compatible wallets?
12:12:38 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> There are, at my great displeasure, none
12:18:22 <m-relay> <c​arbon12011:matrix.org> Which is the best one with internal Tor integration
12:20:43 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> well. the only one with Tor integration right now is Stack Wallet. All other wallets needs you to run Tor in another way and expose the proxy interface. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, SethForPrivacy just told me 4 hours ago on twitter that Tor integration in cake wallet is coming soon: https://x.com/sethforprivacy/status/1925678901830807805
12:26:34 <m-relay> <c​arbon12011:matrix.org> Has anyone tried PiNodeXMR? Does it allow you to edit the conf file? I want to specify the --proxy option to run monerod entirely over tor
12:37:50 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Edge (spyware) and mymonero (barely functional)
12:52:20 <m-relay> <c​arbon12011:matrix.org> It seems like stack wallet uses clearnet by default and Tor must be toggled on every time you open the wallet
13:12:11 <m-relay> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Can I mine with a core i3 machine?
13:12:13 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> nah
13:12:37 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> iirc if you have one node configured to Tor-only traffic, it will enable tor at boot
13:14:15 <m-relay> <c​arbon12011:matrix.org> Would you test that if you have it on hand
13:15:45 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sorry I can't right now but could in an hour or two
13:16:08 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> i remember it started tor automatically
13:16:49 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> (setting was persistent)
13:18:32 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I didnt check latest version
13:24:58 <nioc> <t​rapo:matrix.org> Can I mine with a core i3 machine? <<>> you can but a laptop i3 will get you very little and it might be hard on your laptop
13:26:04 <nioc> also if you pay for electricity then most likely it will cost more than what you receive
