<assholeorangecat:matrix.org> short test mesage

<assholeorangecat:matrix.org> don't like that matrix doesnt allow me to do shift + enter it just sends

<jbabb:cypherstack.com> @assholeorangecat:matrix.org: client issues. I can shift + enter for a newline

<assholeorangecat:matrix.org> oh ok good to know

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Something very weird happened to me. I've sent a monero transaction as I always do. But my ledger locked from inactivity. And somehow the transaction seems to have pass through.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> However it the monero gui interface it says "unknown recipient" transaction key is empty. But it is still getting confirmed and the money is gone from my wallet.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> In the details of the transaction I have all the ring information which I usually do not.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> But there is no destination address mentioned.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Oh nvm the transaction is showing in the cex as incoming.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Wow this is really weird.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Glad it is not lost at least.

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> The txkey and recipient arent stored on chain > <@servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Something very weird happened to me. I've sent a monero transaction as I always do. But my ledger locked from inactivity. And somehow the transaction seems to have pass through.

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> So if they arent saved locally at spend time, they arent retrievable

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> OK I see.

<servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru> Thanks

<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. <- How do you allow incoming connections? How is monerod configured to allow them?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Monerod allows incoming connections by default, but many ISPs or routers dont

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> So you might have to modify firewall, setup port forwarding, or in some cases you might have to contact your isp to gain access to an dedicated/static ip

okay, I see

but if i'm getting warnings that there are no incoming connections when trying to use this configuration:

is that a problem?

yes something wrong docs.getmonero.org/running-node/monerod-tori2p/#node-configuration

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> ascefivr: You likely need to setup port forwarding on your router (because miniupnp is useless garbage and fails to auto-forward the port 99/99 times)

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Google "how to port forward {insert router brand/model}"

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> You'll want to forward port 18080

I would assume the onion address wouldn't need port forwarding, no?

which RPCs do I want to allow to not have those "no incoming connections" warnings?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> ascefivr: Right

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> ascefivr: None

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: ^ only

so monerod listens on 0.0.0.0:18080 and I make sure everyone can connect to it on that port?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Basically

okay, thanks for the help :)

and this doesn't affect privacy? I kind of expected connections to go through the onion address

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Of course it does

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> running a node at all affects privacy

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Either you connect to 12 peers that know that your home ip is running a node, or you allow incoming and allow and unlimited number of random ppl to learn that

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> you can run the node behind tor, but you cant accept incoming connections over tor

ah, okay, I see

<soulexemar:matrix.org> holy skem, i’ve been warning folks about wagyu since day 1 > <@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
