<sbt:nope.chat> Monero on HN front news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47841149

<sbt:nope.chat> This is concerning

<sbt:nope.chat> > The concentration of the Monero network within specific hosting infrastructures reveals a significant point of centralization. As shown in the pie chart above, over 80% of reachable nodes are running within a single cloud provider: Spruce Creek Networks LLC

<quicksilver:4d2.org> It is interesting how blatant they are being with it

<quicksilver:4d2.org> A pretty decent number of people are using the ban lists though, which is good to see

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> Hey Hey people

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> nicolasbianconi.space

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> This is my website hosted on a fucking beat up motorola moto g . I can show proof

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> Anyways, if anyone has a monero related project even with no money i am willing to help

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> like a wordpress site or something. VPN idk . whatever. i can help

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> I just want to use my linux skill to improve everyone freedom

<ibombthegov:matrix.org> Give and you shall receive type shit

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> This is nonsense > <@sbt:nope.chat> This is concerning

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Most if those nodes are proxies, not nodes

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> And the spying doesnt work when youre using a) a (trusted) remote node b) tx-proxy. It only works if you are using a local node that does not have incoming connections. And in that case, your isp already knows which txs are yours

<testtank:matrix.org> Guys if you ever for some reason use Waygu swap, pay attention because they added in the swap a coin flip option where before sending you the XMR they ask you if you want to gamble to x2 or get nothing, and the layout looks like the one where it asks you to make another swap

<testtank:matrix.org> I can see people miss clicking and losing their monero

<testtank:matrix.org> What a fucking joke

<assholeorangecat:matrix.org> that's devious ngl xD
