Make sure your wallet is up-to-date and pick a trusted community remote node like:
Edit: Removed the kyun node. Apparently it's not an official kyun node and ran by an anon.
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.
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".
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.
We are temporarily suspending monero.town signups while this is live to prevent airdrop hunters from joining. Non-local comments containing an address will also be removed. Known community members can still DM me on matrix to get approved.
The DDoS comes from exit nodes via clearnet so Tor PoW doesn't work, most likely there will be a total server migration at some point that adds tor support with pow and a tor friendly frontend.
I'll have a look, thank you!
Is this on by default after v1.5.0?
I've looked into alexandrite and photon before but to be honest, the install is quite messy since I didn't really know what I was doing back then. Makes it pretty hard to figure out how to properly set these up and I'd rather start over on a new server.
The site is still being attacked. Biggest issue is the lemmy-ui crashing under the load, the server itself could just about handle it. I've talked to Digilol who I'll likely hire to move town to a new server and set up proper .onion support but the current server is still pre-paid for 200 more days and even after the move it's still possible that the lemmy-ui would go down anyways :/
You can also do this with featherwallet, just get the download link from getmonero.org so you don't click on the phishing site.
Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn't want to connect without it.
Reply by rucknium:
If I understand your question right, I think you're looking for the inverse cumulative distribution function (a.k.a. quantile function) of the Erlang distribution.
The random length of time to mine the next block has an exponential distribution with rate parameter 1/t. The length of time to mine n blocks has an Erlang distribution with shape parameter n and rate parameter 1/t.
The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution. The Erlang distribution's shape parameter must be an integer, but the Gamma distribution's shape parameter can be any positive real number. We can use the Gamma distribution if Erlang isn't given to us by our calculator.
You would compute T in the R language with:
R
qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
The results of this simulation match the closed-form computation:
R
t <- 120 n <- 15 p <- 0.4 set.seed(314) mining.times <- matrix(rexp(n * 100000, rate = 1/t), ncol = n) mining.times <- rowSums(mining.times) quantile(mining.times/n, probs = p) qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n # Divide by n to get the mean instead of the total
Sometimes Trocador when I need to pay for something that doesn't accept Monero. If you use the ref-link in the monero.town sidebar it also helps fund the site without swaps costing any extra!
I am currently the sole admin. If a trusted community member wants to join me, they of course can but there really is not much to do besides approving new registrations and upgrading lemmy from time to time. In the case of me getting hit by a bus, decentralization is still given since federation with monero.town would work for at least a couple more months. Ideally, at some point in the future, the community moves away from federation to a properly decentralized system like nostr anyways.
Haveno-reto.com has plenty of links to different guides and most bisq documentation and principles carry over to haveno.
Decentralized reputation is not a thing. Every single approach can easily be gamed by scammers. Bisq2 requires people to buy thousands of $bsq for reputation.
Monero.Town is back online!
For the last couple of days we were offline due to a DDoS attack originating from Tor.
We are now behind cloudflare (💀) but at least we are online.
We might switch to a different CDN in the future.
Happy 10th Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

Monero turns 10 today! 🥳
Proposal for Generalized Bulletproofs Security Proofs is now open for funding!
The proposal for Generalized Bulletproofs Security Proofs is now open for funding on the Monero Community Crowdfunding System.
GBPs would be used to replace Monero's Ring Signatures with Full-chain membership proofs.
Let's get this funded ASAP!

Soon-ish server migration coming up.
Hello guys.
In about 50 days the 1 year hosting runs out for the current server. Fitting, since it has only a 100 GB disk that can't easily be expanded and we currently take up about 40 GB of that.
There will be an announcement post once everything has been prepared for the migration and I'll attempt to restore the entire instance on the new server. Ideally the instance should come back up after minimal downtime and all the content remains exactly like it was before.
Consider joining the matrix channel to stay up to date even while the site is potentially down :)
Should we deactivate downvotes?
For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:
I personally don't like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is "le bad" we might as well turn it off.
Monero.Town is now running on Lemmy v19 🎉
Here are the patchnotes :D
New payment options and gateway! – monerosupplies.com
Since the old payment gateway kinda broke when we switched the hosting provider I’ve set up a new one :)
Since the old payment gateway kinda broke when we switched the hosting provider I've set up a new one :)
Please report if you encounter any issues. Since about a week ago, the monero payment gateway doesn't seem to work and while setting up and testing the site after the migration I've ran into the site not always loading but that could be related to DNS propagation and hopefully resolves itself in the next few hours.
Monero.Town is now running on Lemmy v18.4 🎉
To be honest, no idea what this entails. I was bullied into updating the instance and the official patchnotes are just all the github changes instead of a proper write-up 😂
We ARE on S3 bucket storage! Instead of 200GB, we now have 1TB (which is very easy to expand should we need it) 🎉
Shoutout to the pict-rs dev asonix for helping me with the migration ♥
Why we were down last night.
Server showed as online on the hosting provider dashboard but it wasn't responding. After contacting support, this was fixed at some point.
This led to a config file being reverted because of a setting I didn't change earlier which led to the page only showing "Server error."
Everything should work again and in the future that config file shouldn't change by itself anymore. I still have no idea what the problem on the providers side was, let's hope it doesn't happen again :P
What kind of RSS feeds should be added to monero.town?
There is a lot we can do but it might become a bit spammy if we add too much. Some ideas would be:
- Monero ecosystem releases (Monero, GUI, Haveno, Serai, etc) either in a special releases community or the regular Monero one
- DarknetLive posts to the darknet community
- Crypto news to the cryptocurrency community
All of these feeds are of high quality and shouldn't completely spam us.
What do you think? Any other suggestions?
Test post that is supposed to get mirrored to monero.town :)
Edit 2: This has been replaced with a bot that posts way more reliably, as well as locally to the instance.
#### Edit: This doesn't seem to work that well, will be upgraded soon.
Posts made to r/Monero can now be seen on monero.town by subscribing to [email protected] 🎉

If this works as planned, this post should show up in the feed of https://monero.town/, a monero-focused Lemmy instance.
Comments made on either the reddit or Lemmy side don't get synced, just the post itself.
If you can see this post on .town, congratulations, you don't have to visit reddit anymore 🥳

This instance doesn't share its backend with monero.town, in fact, it runs on an entirely different (and way less reliable) server.
Edit: Subscriptions aren't working since remote instances don't know where to send their posts (doesn't work with onion addresses). This means that only manually searched posts actually show up, making the whole instance pretty useless ._.
You can still view monero.town and the rest of the fediverse through federation. You can either put communities into the searchbar and subscribe to them (Example [email protected]) or put entire links to posts from other instances into it to make them show up here.
Since this instance is on Tor, it can federate inwards (pull content from other lemmy servers) but CAN'T federate outwards (interacting with posts on other servers). You can still comment and vote but only people on this instance will be able to see this. You are essentially siloed with a
Monero.Town is now running on Lemmy v18.1 🎉
Here is the changelog.
This upgrade brings a ton of bugfixes and performance improvements.
It also broke the nice custom theme we had 😅 I'll try to iron this out but for the time being we will change back to a default theme.
