  <sbt:nope.chat> @plowsof:matrix.org can we conclude this please, it's been 4 days since last comment. bounties.monero.social/posts/206/1-…ith-monero-payments-to-unlock-files

  <plowsof:matrix.org> i've removed and invited you to the bounties room again. your example site doesnt work after the latest update.

  <helene:unredacted.org> FYI, it's trivial to get the original IP of a node behind Cloudflare > <@reaster:matrix.reaster.dev> hi, i have a tech question,
• 07:30
  br-m
  <helene:unredacted.org> if that's part of your threat model, you should probably be exclusively behind Tor or i2p
• 07:36
  br-m
  <alexandre:uii.pt> hmm, this issue straight disappeared, any way to know why it was removed? web.archive.org/web/20250725092601/…onlesstech/bitchat/issues/276monero transactions on bitchat
• 08:11
  br-m
  <reaster:matrix.reaster.dev> @helene:unredacted.org: yeah i wondered that, can you explain how?
• 08:11
  br-m
  <reaster:matrix.reaster.dev> i think the next step would be to have a setup with dynamic dns and rolling proxies
• 08:12
  br-m
  <helene:unredacted.org> your node can be identified via a bunch of means since it does p2p communication in general
• 08:12
  br-m
  <helene:unredacted.org> but cloudflare will also give the IPs to anyone that asks
• 09:18
  br-m
  <reaster:matrix.reaster.dev> @helene:unredacted.org: (in reality it's not only about my node, it's more for the others services running there)
• 09:19
  br-m
  <reaster:matrix.reaster.dev> @helene:unredacted.org: yeah i guess, but rn my threat model is really light, i just want to protect myself for the simplest dig
• 11:00

  <17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh> @alexandre:uii.pt: they don't want you to know

  <kevino:tchncs.de> Jack is a btc maxi , maybe thats why ;)
• 11:08
  br-m
  <kevino:tchncs.de> Idk what are "offline" payments
• 11:46
  br-m
  <alexandre:uii.pt> @kevino:tchncs.de: oh, that could be it, i did see something about bitcoin being implemented in bitchat
• 11:47
  br-m
  <alexandre:uii.pt> @kevino:tchncs.de: guess it could be transactions which could be submited later to the network, but totally offline is unfortunately impossible

  last night, i started monerod via the monero gui wallet for the first time as a local node, with the box for prune blockchain ticked
• 16:03
  hunnids
  after hitting 3098438, it just doesn't seem to progress any more, dpaste.org/cT7t1
• 16:03
  hunnids
  i do see a ton of stacktraces & some other messages in bitmonero.log, dpaste.org/hq1x2
• 16:04
  hunnids
  and i just noticed, after a reboot, the --prune-blockchain option isn't present, even though the daemon has started
• 16:04
  hunnids
  not sure what to do now
• 16:04
  hunnids
  do i nuke the entire lmdb dir, go from scratch?
• 16:04
  hunnids
  since it didnt complete to 100% with the --prune-blockchain option?
• 16:06
  hunnids
  or is this As Expected (TM), and I should just wait it out?
• 16:28
  selsta
  hunnids: you only have to start with --prune-blockchain once
• 16:29
  selsta
  you can continue without it afterwards once the prune flag is set
• 16:31
  hunnids
  gotcha, good to know
• 16:32
  hunnids
  sync_info -> connected to 15 peers, downloading at 2256 kB/s, yet still stuck on height 3098438, for about 4 hours now?
• 16:32
  hunnids
  ugh
• 16:33
  hunnids
  i see a lot of hosts being banned, new top candidates returning, so its definitely doing something
• 16:33
  hunnids
  just not progressing, it seem to the untrained eye :D
• 16:46
  hunnids
  w00t, the height finally changed to 3098488, after sitting on 3098438 for 3h50m \o/
• 17:09
  selsta
  hunnids: lots of banning is not good, usually hints at an issue
• 17:10
  hunnids
  hmm i dont know what else to look for
• 17:10
  hunnids
  i'm running it in a whonix vm, its connected over tor
• 17:14
  hunnids
  the last 20m of bitmonero.log are mostly bans, dpaste.org/SGw63
• 17:14
  hunnids
  I'll try another circuit I suppose
• 17:45
  binarybaron_hall
  hi

  binarybaron
  hi
• 17:52
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> You're forked off on an alt chain
• 18:09
  br-m
  <binarybaron:matrix.org> which irc bridge bot does the Monero community use ?
• 18:09
  br-m
  <helene:unredacted.org> pretty sure it's one that DataHoarder made
• 18:10
  DataHoarder
  depends on channel. but yeah, it's custom made
• 18:10
  DataHoarder
  others still use matterbridge
• 18:10
  DataHoarder
  seems binarybaron is also on IRC side :D
• 18:13
  br-m
  <binarybaron:matrix.org> hmm, any chance you can bridge the channel for eigenwallet (Monero wallet) too 👉👈
• 18:51
  DataHoarder
  is it on monero.social?
• 18:51
  DataHoarder
  or libera.chat at least :D
• 18:52
  DataHoarder
  at the moment I haven't taken further channels (it's in testing) but once it covers all I think it'd be fine
• 19:07
  br-m
  <binarybaron:matrix.org> it’s on libera.chat (#eigenwallet on libera.chat, #unstoppableswap:matrix.org on Matrix)
• 19:13
  hunnids
  a ton of new circuits later and its syncing at 3-4MB/s over tor again
• 19:14
  hunnids
  :shrug:

  Cindy_
  i have a patch to monero that enables DNS-over-TLS for the DNS part of it
• 21:31
  Cindy_
  but like.. it's a few lines, so i wonder it's even worth a PR
• 21:54
  DataHoarder
  It is
• 21:55
  DataHoarder
  My last PR is a single line
• 21:55
  DataHoarder
  monero-project/monero #10103
• 21:55
  Cindy_
  i wanted to use DNS-over-HTTPS, but i'd have to modify unbound
• 21:55
  DataHoarder
  (Plus one to 0.18 branch)
• 21:56
  Cindy_
  and i didn't feel like doing that rn, so DNS-over-TLS is good enough
• 21:56
  DataHoarder
  DNS over TLS already defeats interception which is a common thing in some ISP
• 21:56
  DataHoarder
  I see high value on it
