00:14:49 Let's try this again. Has anyone bought Monero from a non KYC exchange recently? If so, which exchange? I'm trying to buy my first monero coin/s and boy oh boy, it's not easy :| 00:23:20 It's not easy, true 00:25:27 i buy btc, or ltc, semi kyc 00:25:38 then swap it to xmr, 00:26:28 @eddie:oblak.be: nothing of any authentic value ever is tho 00:27:34 ax562: what all have you already tried? 00:27:46 true that. So how can I buy monero? 00:28:06 more than one way to pet cat 00:28:23 I got my monero-gui wallet setup and tried mexc but it was talking about taking a picture of my face from all angles 00:28:57 and it seemed like it would not let me even purchase monero directly with a debit card 00:29:41 why start there? why not do a little digging on getmonero.org ? 00:30:44 I found the link in the topic banner btw 00:30:56 not trying to scam ya mexc style 00:32:33 I already have. there is quite a long list of exchanges I've never heard of or used before. 00:32:48 btw f discord 00:32:58 did you see mexc there?

But I learn more here than many other places 00:58:31 there is a bisq "clone" that is based on monero, retoswap 00:58:45 ax562: ^^ 00:59:49 can be a bit confusing, the irc channel is #haveno as it is based on the haveno software 00:59:58 history of things and all 01:08:25 nioc have you used retoswap before 01:09:27 no 01:09:47 but many people have 01:10:10 the have a FAQ on their website 01:10:20 *they have 01:10:49 nioc -> https://openmonero.com/knowledge/haveno-retoswap-smells-like-a-honeypot 01:10:59 no no 01:11:15 openmonero is the honeypot lol 01:20:09 nioc what exchange/s have you used to purchase monero? 01:22:42 retoswap has a 1/100 and 10/100 in scam scores, pretty sad I guess. 01:23:51 no idea where you got a scam score 01:24:20 I operate under the assumption that all reviews are fake 01:24:46 Could be but 3 scam sites give it extremely low scores 01:24:57 nioc have you purchased monero before? If so how? 01:25:04 what is the score of those sites? 01:25:24 lol good question 01:25:37 should be the first question 01:25:38 have you purchased monero? 01:26:05 what is the source of the info 01:26:26 me, I lost all my monero in a tragic boating accident 01:27:04 wow 01:27:23 a very old meme :) 01:27:41 nioc are you the owner of retoswap :p 01:27:48 no 01:27:57 I own nothing, Cat owns me 01:28:03 ax562: just checked the trust score for the official monero website (getmonero dot org) and its a shit score as well lol, if you're worried about retoswap, just look for it on reddit and the actual monero community reviewing it instead of random bullshit websites like the "fact checkers" bullshits lmao 01:29:26 there is a 2nd haveno network as well btw: https://dawnswap.com but it's newer than retoswap so for now it doesnt have the high praises retoswap has from the monero community 01:30:09 this chat glows, good thinking nioc being like "nah i dont use nothing lol" 01:31:51 so much sus but the whole world is sus...so... 01:33:53 lol, paypal and ca$happ..it gets better 01:35:32 yall is https://meowdice.com legit?? 01:35:37 I should have solved this sooner, but I'm grateful for the trial and lesson (that I hopefully learned for real this time) 01:38:33 yatta mirror 01:39:45 ax562: do you have any other crypto? 01:39:54 I do. 01:40:46 swap for monero 01:42:14 where and how, I'm a complete n00b to crypto 01:42:57 trocador.app, use at your own risk, start with small amounts 01:45:39 Why is this so difficult? 01:46:32 maybe it's you 01:47:15 nah man, I'm a scientist. Just don't have experience with crypto. Other crypto was way easy compared to this. 01:48:15 do you buy groceries? It's like that, except your other crypto is your $$$ and monero is the groceries 01:48:32 oh and trocador.app is the grocery store 01:48:48 have you used trocador.app before? 01:49:48 Usually the grocery store is on the corner with a big sign. This, I had to go into an alley and deal with a douch and then finally someone pointed me to a shack in the other alley to buy my groceries. 01:50:01 so yeah.lol 01:51:26 and then you still didn't buy the groceries for some reason 01:52:04 why is that? 01:52:08 I'm there right now, but they don't sell monero directly but other crypto? 01:52:16 seriously? 01:53:46 you mean do they swap for fiat? 01:53:48 yanmaani: In that case, instead of exchanging on Tradeogre, you'd be better off buying LTC, and then use ChangeNOW to convert to XMR and send it to your wallet right away. Saves up that 2% you would have otherwise spent on Tradeogre. 01:54:07 Just don't have experience with crypto. Other crypto was way easy compared to this. <<>> no experience yet has experience smh 01:54:41 tradeogre was shut down 01:54:42 smh = SoMetHing? 01:55:15 surely you must know 01:55:31 nioc thanks 01:57:45 * nioc sniffs and smells something 02:00:01 ok, 2 douchers now 02:01:58 Is the monero community usually this cool? 02:04:28 you have been given all the info you need, time to do something 02:06:21 Cat is waiting, gn 02:09:08 ax562: Yes, one of the few cool IRC channels on Libera I would argue. 02:09:53 well, I've been here a very short time and had to ignore 2 lames already :| 02:10:25 Then I don't think you'll enjoy it here, just to be honest. 02:11:58 well, then it's not really a cool place 02:12:30 It is, just not to your liking. 02:13:32 do you like being insulted? 02:15:12 Because you're about to drop another one? 02:15:58 And this is just a wall of text anyway, why the fuck should I get mad at that? That's just cringe. 02:16:56 I'm not mad, it's just sad how douchey people can be to someone with little experience 02:17:29 "Because you're about to drop another one?" drop what? 02:19:47 I am reading your conversations, and to be honest, you're the one acting "douchey", not yatta or whoever the other person is you blocked. 02:20:03 "drop what?" An insult. 02:20:17 whatever man 02:20:37 Thank you for this, I was feeling pretty bad honestly 😞 02:24:08 @rosysagefame:envs.net: 😭 no one answered 02:26:28 in all fairness, mexc is the exchange listed as number 1 on coinmarketcap for actually MONTHS now when clicking on Monero, despite not being popular at all 02:26:28 (for context, coinmarketcap was bought by binance few years ago and binance actively did shady practices on monero for years through fractional reserve and price suppression before finally delisting it last year) 02:26:28 so alot of people in the monero community do have some kind of ptsd from binance and now mexc 02:28:26 ax562: but yeah, u been giving all the resources needed, retoswap is the go to now for newcomers and pretty much anyone that actually cares about monero 02:28:58 the only thing about retoswap is it looks like they do not except debit card 02:29:16 right, it's peer to peer so no debit card 02:29:25 but can do bank transfers or cash by mail 02:29:37 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org why do you keep leaving? 🤔 02:29:38 hmmm 02:29:50 @ocean:nope.chat: idk, why not lol 02:29:51 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: have you tried cash by mail before? 02:30:09 oh, no. not going to ever try that. 02:30:22 Maybe for grandma on her birthday but not for crypto lol 02:30:38 a popular way to send cash by mail (which is totally legal, even if sometimes it feels like it aint lmao), is to vacuum seal it, then wrap in a sheet of foil and to the post office in a pretty envelope 02:30:38 for example rn on amazon for $34.99, there is that vacuum sealer: 02:30:38 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F72TY67/ 02:30:38 and the bags for it:[... more lines follow, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/6a3mjMQKblJDeEND ] 02:30:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T756g8OyXM4 02:30:46 Looks like kraken does except debit and sell monero. 02:31:22 lol 02:31:27 kraken in the US, they delisted it for the rest of the world, but if it works for you then sure 02:31:34 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: HEY if my grandma can do it for christmas then i can do it for this 02:31:34 this is too funny 02:32:05 spacekitty6920 and whoever has been positive thanks for that! 02:32:48 hehe cheers lol 02:32:50 I mean, I might be able to do the bank transfer. I do not see why not but why so difficult? 02:34:40 that's the peer to peer downsides, its a process that's a bit more involved for the users 02:34:40 but all things considered, still less a hassle than going through the whole KYC shenanigans 02:34:48 pleaseee is meowdice legit 🥺 02:35:04 but when you get that first trade going, it's always the first step that's the hardest then after it goes pretty smoothly tbh 02:35:20 @rosysagefame:envs.net: i literally dont know lol 02:35:36 i keep checking back to see myself roys 02:35:47 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: ok ill try with a tiny amount then and tell u if i get a payout upon winning 😭 02:36:53 i only tried monerovegas which worked great but i wouldnt promote gambling, like, it worked but gambling can ruin lives 02:37:22 well this site has very low limits so it is unlikely to ruin any lives at least bwahah 02:37:49 max is literally 0.002 XMR apparently 02:37:55 per bet 02:38:10 that's how u start a habit tho, a little of the drug then more often of the drugs u know x) 02:38:21 i do like drugs ... 02:38:22 yumyum 02:38:25 :P 02:38:31 coffee is guud 02:38:41 i havent had meow 02:41:48 well, I have a start now finally, kraken, retoswap and trocador.app 02:41:59 It only took a couple of days :| 02:42:35 but thanks y'all :) 02:42:42 trocador is also integrated directly within the cakewallet app btw so can also use it directly from there as well 02:43:24 I got the monero-gui desktop app 02:43:48 going to make some steak sliders real quick :p 02:45:12 cheers :3 02:45:23 MEOW 03:29:25 RIP MONERO 03:32:25 the snowden coin won, get rekt monero LOL 03:33:52 literally git gud, l2p, mofos cant competitive cryptocoin lmao 03:35:27 leave and come to zcash > <@spacekitty69420:matrix.org> idk, why not lol 03:36:08 you can trade xmr -> zcash on trocador > <@spacekitty69420:matrix.org> trocador is also integrated directly within the cakewallet app btw so can also use it directly from there as well 03:36:14 nah, premined garbage, asic centralized, backdoored cringe shits x) 03:36:20 @thefuzzstone:electrologic.org: still getting paid $0.01 per post? 03:36:26 monero is dead. no one contributes to monero because most of the developers moved on to zcash. the remaining developers use the ccs to their advantage to rake in money by purposefully delaying features. without a for-profit motive company like ecc, no one has the incentive to build monero quickly and with quality. zcash has of [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/lqjXjsQKZkNuYXA1 ] 03:36:27 it a psyop, i enjoying the popcorn of monero getting rekt tho lmao 03:36:43 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: i like cats 03:36:55 blep 03:37:17 the inadequate moderation of these rooms represents the state of monero. slow and dying 03:38:21 ikr, if only there was a way to have a trustless setup to hire moderation team that would be payed through a trustless setup for their moderation work, oh gosh, if only...

Doesn't mean a normal person is okay to risk it like that XD 05:51:16 And yeah, this sht is happening in the open on Telegram and clearnet. But drug users are in general not very smart, so they don't want inconveniences. And I don't think cash by mail is comparable because it goes through a state institution that scrutinizes it in various ways. 05:55:01 must be a wild way to live life tho.. being like "i like that monero thing but it might become illegal... what do?" 05:55:01 guess no more monero then cause too risky T_T 05:56:03 IDK, crypto itself is in a gray zone so everyone just rolls with it. I don't think it's comparable to explicitly illegal things like cash by mail. 06:03:08 well my bad tbh, didnt know it was illegal in some areas, actually mind blown lol 06:04:37 Nice to know it's explicitly legal in others! 06:04:41 brb filling up my taxes, time to be a good citizen i guess :O 06:07:58 oh wait no nvm, aint got taxes, too broke for those, not getting payed by the ccs because monero is literally only for the criminal markets, not the legit p2p circular economy thing x) 13:24:12 Ban the the clown @thefuzzstone:electrologic.org. This is a fake account of yet another perpetually offended individual, whose feelings were likely hurt by something I posted online. 13:26:50 electrologic.org is a simple nginx page, the domain was updated in August 6th of this year 13:27:18 any chance it could literally just be a matrix spamhost 13:59:23 It might be, but this reminds me that my own Matrix server currently doesn't have any webpage hosted at its domain. I used to have a website on my previous domain but took it down for being cringe. 20:23:50 https://x.com/MoneroKon/status/1984083583942942912 20:23:54 #xmrpos-dev:matrix.org 20:24:13 Beta tester sign up form: https://xmrpos.twed.org/nextcloud/index.php/apps/forms/s/FwHTf7DZfYjtDNwjB46TpYgG 20:24:29 oh! pos as in point of sale, not proof of stake lmao 20:24:32 u got me there for a sec x) 20:25:23 from android, giga pog 20:26:42 like, at the store when buying with with cakewallet purchased giftcards or whatever, they use their phone already too, scanning the thingy and whatnot 20:26:42 point of sale from android, lets fucking go O_O 20:45:37 In-person cash is preferred anyway 20:52:52 BlueyHealer: true, like for the weed, cash is better, people ordering online are american lazy fucks too fat and lazy to go out and support their 420 local sellers 20:55:39 I don't really think about illegal uses of it. But in this particular case - I don't even know what's scarier, meeting up with a criminal in person or taking a chance and ordering "blind". Although if you do drugs, your sense of risk is fried anyway so I guess there's not much difference. 20:59:21 so very criminal, growing a natural plant from this planet, dont do crimes, so very scary 20:59:21 heard the online space has alot of actual documentation regarding safe use of the drugs so it's not all bad either 20:59:21 but yea, scary criminals doing the criminal thingies just being damn menaces out here u know lol 21:45:45 I'm running a Monero node and it's done syncing but it's using a ton of CPU now really slowing down the whole system. I don't have a fantastic CPU on the node but it should be more than capable. 21:46:18 It was never using this much CPU during sync 21:46:51 It's an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 21:49:44 blcakbox: Launch Date: Q1'21 21:49:44 for that CPU, so is backdoored by the intel ME (Management Engine), damn... 21:49:44 the TDP on it is very interesting tho, for a node 21:49:44 quad-core it should be able to run it smoothly... are all 4 cores being used? 21:49:44 maybe you enabled the option that mines with the wallet, you could try to disable that 21:51:33 LOL why is ME relevant? Yeah the load is distributed across all cores. Definitely not mining on it. Running this: `monerod --detach --tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050,disable_noise --tx-proxy i2p,127.0.0.1:4444,disable_noise --prune-blockchain --enable-dns-blocklist` 21:53:32 not relevant, just saying intel is a shit company, and u made the choice the purchase a chip from them, that's interesting decision is all 21:55:21 AMD has PSP as well. Leaves much fewer options. 21:56:10 it shouldn't be using much CPU. Did you say yes to background mining? 21:56:19 no 21:57:03 idk, monerod is broken then, someone at monero gotta fix that shit i guess 21:57:28 looking at the commands, maybe it is pruning 21:57:52 for a pruned node it should be pruning as it is syncing, not after 21:58:08 nioc: Yes that's what I believe as well 21:59:06 I use a full node but hear that it takes a long time to prune 22:00:26 ? It prunes while syncing. My blockchain is ~93G 22:00:42 I'm at latest blockchain height 22:00:58 only if you tell it to do so but at that size it must be pruned 22:01:39 i been runing pruned for the past couple of years or so (had to move to different ssd lol), syncing it once every few months, it's running in a vm and havent noticed that much CPU resource being used.. about same blocksize as 22:01:53 *as blcakbox 22:02:54 not running it through tor tho, which i guess that would be the main difference there with those parameters 22:04:01 i ran a node on an intel atom cpu - had to have a huge mem swap file to keep it from freezing/crashing 22:04:58 I have enough memory. 8G 22:05:07 I'm running on the node on OpenBSD if that's relevant 22:05:34 oh could be, not a popular choice, noice tho O_O 22:06:13 maybe try a different install, not having to resync, just point to the same directory from a linux distro with the --data-dir parameter 22:06:19 could help narrow down if it's coming from that 22:11:10 or i mean, looking again at the parameters, u doing both tor and i2p, very pog lol, but that could very well be the reason too 22:11:41 still, benchmarking the node on a different distro could give a better idea as well 22:16:15 Oh hey. https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/7027 This checks out 22:17:04 👍️ 22:28:32 blcakbox , so freebsd doesnt like safe sync mode? 22:28:44 OpenBSD. But yes 22:29:25 https://thisvsthat.io/freebsd-vs-openbsd 22:29:47 freebsd that's like what pfsense is using 22:29:53 openbsd if for the nerds doing that i2p techy shits 22:34:43 oh right and i guess apple are based on freebsd, like, openbsd so very nice hot damn lol 22:35:17 so very niche* 22:35:41 typos lmao x) 22:36:32 like... monero in itself is so very niche too, like, zcash less niche now u know, even that snowden guy is a zcash shill 22:36:42 the videogames tho.... not niche at all, they mainstream af 22:46:38 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: Snowden was one of the trusted setup ceremony keysigners. He's been in zcash since day 0 22:46:47 right 22:47:40 👍️ > <@spacekitty69420:matrix.org> the snowden coin won, get rekt monero LOL 22:50:37 ? Won what? 22:51:14 remiliascarlet: yeah, buy it anywhere. TradeOgre was the cheapest, but they're gone now so you gotta go somewhere else 22:51:45 litecoin - another optional privacy chain (without centralized mining, dev taxes, and corporations) - has been above monero (and zcssh) for years 22:52:30 If we consider zcash to be a "privacy coin", why dont we consider litecoin to be one? 22:52:56 i like litecoin, it doesnt pretend to be more than it is 22:55:34 just sayin, it a competitive market out there, remember when monero was like top 3 or 4 or something like that on cmc? now what's #3? RIPPLE LMAO, literally the cryptocoin that is funding the trump ballroom LOL 22:56:07 Theres a lot of trash in the top 50 22:56:16 https://coincentral.com/ripple-tether-and-coinbase-fund-trumps-300m-white-house-ballroom/] 22:56:21 -] 22:56:28 The vast majority of which are traded like stocks, and not used 22:56:30 literally getting outplayed by xrp x) 22:56:57 xrp's first 250k "blocks" arent even syncable 22:59:47 If monero fought for the right to be traded like a stock, it would probably be "worth" more. 22:59:47 its "value" is dictated by the handful of people who do trade it like a stock 23:01:40 market cap is determined by taking the value last traded on exchange, and multiplying that by the total supply. 23:01:40 Buying a few million worth of monero would likely raise the market cap by billions. Market cap isnt real 23:03:04 it only measures up if there is enough demand that you can sell every coin without the price crashing 23:04:57 right, the quick math thing for when that $300M btc where "socially engineered from some creepy rich old white american dude by some cringe basic call center scam in the uk" and some of it were moved to xmr, then the monero market cap jumped by 2B, like from 4B to 6B or something along those lines 23:06:11 so even onboarding a smol market could have a decent impact on monero increase in price (and network security along the way too) 23:06:41 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: Assuming they purchase on a cex that reports to coingecko tm 23:07:00 Non cex purchases arent included in oracle pricing 23:07:50 (our source for "value" is fully centralized. Makes no sense) 23:08:25 arbitrage is a thing 23:08:50 its not because its not numbers included in the api or whatever the fuck and added to the fake coinmarketcap numbers anyways that arbitrage cant happen 23:08:58 Its not even a value that comes from a service that we frequent. 23:08:58 Zcash, on the other hand, has no circular economy. Their only use case is (almost) entirely on exchanges 23:10:42 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: requires someone, at some point, to purchase xmr from one of the reporting agencies 23:11:49 i mean, maybe zcash could read those monero channels and find value into onboarding the videogaming peer to peer circular economy, and who onboards that market imo will actually win the "p2p digital cash" title thing, whether its zcash, whether it's monero, whether it's a brand new monero fork after the fcmp++ upgrade to not h [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/ltensMQKOGkzSlph ] 23:12:04 we can only pray 23:13:58 do you think the DNM adoption that currently monero has cant be overtaken by a proper monero fork? 23:13:58 as in like, 100% monero clone after fcmp++ upgrade, same tokenomic, emission curve and tail emission thing 23:14:15 if a bigger market than it is adopting it as their base currency 23:28:39 There's more needed than "just" a fork. You can't clone community, adoption, etc... That said, if something else than monero would gain more traction because it's as good (or better) and people just use it, what is the problem then. 23:30:41 @eddie:oblak.be: u kinda can tho.. well, kinda, as in like being seen as a testnet by current monero devs and contributor, that same coin but updated to that new protocol, without the bloated blockchain from depracated protocols 23:31:02 now that i remember, there was even a testnet that was hijacked and turned into it's whole actual coin 23:31:20 nerva, a monero fork, has its testnet stolen and turned into its own coin "solo" 23:32:06 dero atlantis was a testnet, and was sold on exchanges 💪. Not sure what were talking about now 23:32:38 noice lol, talking about p2p circular economy that is not just for the criminals 23:32:45 For a coin to become successful it needs to be adopted by vendors and buyers. It doesn't happen overnight. 23:32:57 yea i can do that 23:33:01 Monero is being accepted for much more than dnms 23:33:17 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: Is the criminal one in the room with us now 23:33:38 wat lol 23:34:00 Since when is xmrbazaar "just for the criminals" 23:34:04 like literally actually 23:34:04 https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/173/576/Wat8.jpg 23:34:43 how > <@spacekitty69420:matrix.org> yea i can do that 23:34:57 Since when are the merchants listed on monerica "juat for the criminals" 23:35:14 there's no one "from monero" who said "hey vendor, please use monero", it's mostly organic adoption. 23:36:05 this isnt dread, or some dnm 23:36:24 @eddie:oblak.be: there's a p2p circular economy market that has been around for way longer than bitcoin 23:36:24 had something that could be seen as a pre-cursor of Proof of Work 23:36:24 and currently has still more active daily trades than what monero has 23:36:24 i can get them to onboard a properly designed platform, tho, the web from 2003 is superior to the web3 there 23:36:33 Even localmonero was an instant ban if you discussed dnm on the platform 23:37:03 @spacekitty69420:matrix.org: Yet you're here, instead of onboarding them to zcasj 23:37:06 lmao 23:39:02 @ofrnxmr: my dm's are open for a community workground of passionates that care about p2p circular economy and build something for free, instead of asking the ccs for $$$ 23:39:02 the design i have in mind could also do funding as it would be able to fund moderation team through a trustless setup which down the line could also make the ccs model completely obsolete 23:39:07 workgroup* 23:39:39 Honestly, just do it. 23:41:25 I think you need to have to describe a bit more clearly what you mean with p2p circular economy. It's a vague term, there are people in my neighbourhood that buy and sell second hand pants through facebook, that's also p2p circular .. 23:43:01 Circular economy means economic activity in Monero that doesn't convert to another currency but stays in Monero. 23:43:17 At least, that is how the term is used around here. 23:45:35 I always thought a key aspect of circular economy is the fact that goods are recycled. 23:49:55 xmrbazaar is not enough "for the criminals" > <@ofrnxmr> Since when is xmrbazaar "just for the criminals" 23:49:55 doug is liable if a videogame company sues him for breaking their ToS 23:55:37 Criminals arent welcome on xmrbazaar 23:55:49 that's what i saying 23:55:58 and people using retoswap in 2027 will be criminals as well 23:56:02 well, actually legally for them 23:56:19 while the "criminals" am talking about is a videogame company ToS, not actually legally 23:56:33 retoswap in 2027 in europe*
