  • Monerochan Token: A Trojan Horse for Promoting Monero

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Will monero.town consider not blocking tor exit nodes anymore?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Is this on by default after v1.5.0?

    Jump

  • 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 :/

  • Which wallet do you recommend to hold Monero?

    Jump

  • You can also do this with featherwallet, just get the download link from getmonero.org so you don't click on the phishing site.

  • probability theory question: mean subsequent block time

    Jump

  • Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn't want to connect without it.

  • probability theory question: mean subsequent block time

    Jump

  • 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

  • Do you use instant crypto exchanges as the option to buy Monero?

    Jump

  • 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!

  • Ownership of monero.town

    Jump

  • 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.

  • my biggest problem with haveno and bisq is starting from nothing

    Jump

  • 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.

    Jump

  • That's even easier, just make an offer selling XMR for the fiat you want?

  • On haveno you have a multisig that makes sure you actually receive your Monero after paying instead of just getting scammed.
