  • [Announcement] Migrating away from lemmy.

    Jump

  • I never loved the idea of hosting everything on one server, even in a federated system. I had asked on matrix before if anyone would want to but there was nobody willing to pick up hosting the instance. I don't want all of this to depend on me and people to lose touch because I am unavailable. For now we will keep the instance up and running, at least till we find a suitable replacement software that is more decentralized.

  • Never heard of clockswap before, beware of phishing.

  • Could we get some pics working again please?

    Jump

  • Re-uploading should fix it, i really didn't have the time to look into this too much :/

  • Removed

    OpenMonero launching openmonero.markets

    Jump

  • Be advised, openmonero has been "hacked" before and users lost funds held in the sites escrow. I highly recommend to use the decentralized Retoswap over this.

  • Onion instance (federation very limited)

    Jump

  • Yeah, this was not very useful so it's shut down.

  • Monero.town turns 2 years old today 🎂🎉

    Jump

  • It's not too many as it's just in the overall instance sidebar and pretty hidden but it has probably already paid for a domain renewal :)

    Testing

  • Does this instance need some technical help?

    Jump

  • I might need help with the tor config after the upcoming server migration. I should be able to handle exporting and importing the database & this time I'll be using ansible for the install instead of a manual docker config.

  • monero.town doesn't properly federate

    Jump

  • The server is getting migrated soon, i did not really know what i was doing when i initially set this up.

  • New research about Haveno shows XMR/BTC trades are traceable

    Jump

  • It's not really but the paper suggested some improvements that would make the transactions waaaay harder to link to a trade. Definitely a net-positive for privacy.

  • New research about Haveno shows XMR/BTC trades are traceable

    Jump

  • No, the transaction tracing relies on the transparent bitcoin chain. It does not work for the off-chain payment methods and especially not for something super private like cash by mail.

  • German news site BTC-ECHO misses the mark in Monero video

    Jump

  • I think your podcast link might be broken.

  • facepalm 🤦‍♀️ or: How can Monero help you if you want to have Bitcoin or Euro? 🤷‍♀️

    Jump

  • Monero is untraceable if used correctly. Aleksanteri Kivimäki was not busted because of "Monero tracing". I don't believe anyone has, usually it is simple amount and timing analysis on the swaps in and out of Monero. If someone gets a 5000 XMR ransomware payment and a random guy suddenly deposits 5000 XMR into a centralized exchange, of course you can "trace" that but you are tracing metadata, not Monero itself. Monero is only one tool in the opsec belt.

  • new project just dropped

    Jump

  • It would greatly help if you would actually describe your project instead of having people search for your account on a different site.

  • We are running the standard lemmy software. The entropy doesn't actually improve after a certain amount of characters so I guess that's why they decided to put a limit on it.

  • monerod useing 3 out of my 4 GB ram

    Jump

  • Yes! That is possible, check out this guide. Pruned db is smaller but it will first do a full sync and then prune it so you still need enough storage for the "peak".

  • monerod useing 3 out of my 4 GB ram

    Jump

  • Raspberries lack physical AES instructions, I am not exaggerating when I say this could take 5-6 weeks to sync. There are other SBCs like the Rockpro 64 that would be way better suited for a node but the most economical option is getting used mini-pcs from ebay for $50.

    It will have high RAM usage because it is constantly writing and reading during sync.
