hey somehow the ip range of my provider is banned in the getmonero.org forum. Or maybe its because I am in Taiwan. Can someone tell me who I can reach out to? I tried to email dev⊙go but so far no response.

spirobel: VPN?

i dont have a vpn

i live here

<spirobel[m] "i dont have a vpn "> You should

why? i dont trust vpns

also this is really bad ux

i want to contribute

How do you know the problem is the IP has been banned by your ISP?

i am not a spammer

<Mumuks[m] "How do you know the problem is t"> nooooo

Mullvad VPN is pretty good

its banned by the forum

<save_g[m] "Mullvad VPN is pretty good"> i am not routing my traffic through some randos computer. thats what a vpn is in essence: snakeoil

Is there a better way to get through geoblocking

Also all the good vpns are open source

<Mumuks[m] "How do you know the problem is t"> the monero forum banned the ip range. the isp is fine

<spirobel[m] "i am not routing my traffic thro"> That is also what the internet is

okay so who is in charge of running the forum?

<spirobel[m] "the monero forum banned the ip r"> I see, you'll have to contact them and wait for an answer. I would not.be surprised if that was automatic.

<Mumuks[m] "I see, you'll have to contact th"> so who do I need to contact? who hosts the forum and is responsible for this?

I do not know

<spirobel[m] "hey somehow the ip range of my p"> forum.getmonero.org has been closed for roughly two years

Due in part to the platform it was using not being spam resistant. Arguably next best forum since it's being ran by a Monero Workgroup is forum.monero.space although obviously it's not super active since it's not based off of getmonero .org

<xmrscott "Due in part to the platform it w"> makes sense

<xmrscott "Due in part to the platform it w"> its kind of ironic that i wanted to signup to the forum to talk about integrating monero with a different forum (software) this was the message I wanted to put there: I develop plugins for the forum software discourse.org

and i didnt recognize it was broken and closed lol

i thought my ip range was banned.

Yeah, if you look at the forums posts there hasn't been anything on the getmonero forums for two years, and that was because of all the medical supplement spam, etc

If you want to develop integration for Discourse and get a pulse from the community on it, your best bet for feedback would be Reddit

It would really cool to have a forum platform w/ Monero integration, so if you're able to make it happen, I can see the Monero workgroup ran forum switching to Discourse from Flarum to take advantage

great! I also like flarum. Its just that I invested a lot of time into learning the discourse codebase.

And its very mature.

I dont know if there is something like the subscriptions plugin for example for flarum

int there a free/open version of dicourse? i just saw it the other day.

yes. discourse is an open source project just like flarum

its just that discourse has a company behind it. (i am not part of this company) i just write open source plugins for it

they make money by hosting it and writing some enterprise modifications for it. I think thats great because it does not really affect the normal users and ensures continued development

Yep, I prefer to the more heavily freemium model of stuff like GitLab

<xmrscott "Yep, I prefer to the more heavil"> How is it at gitlab? does the ce editon lack features?

Yes, there are a couple of features locked behind the EE

Stuff that is arguably useful to have (e.g. better search, better approver/issues controls, dependency scanning (especially given a lot of library supply chain attacks as of late))

<xmrscott "Stuff that is arguably useful to"> okay makes sense. With discourse its really not like that. I mean maybe for someone who is not using it as a forum but is a corpo boss. But even these features can be replicated by stitching together plugins. If you are just using it as a forum there are no issues in this regard.

Oh yeah, that's what I was trying to say, it's nice that Discourse's model is not as heavy handed as GitLab

Hello, I'm setting up the monero plugin for wordpress, should I pull in the latest master or download the latest release (2018)

<xmrscott "Oh yeah, that's what I was tryin"> true haha but I mean it also has its downsides. The codebase has a lot of opinions in it. I think for example the usability could be better. I see this as a challenge and try to improve it. I also did a lot of research and compared different forum systems out there. I think even with the drawbacks its still the best. I want to use it to create communities online that

are not controlled by the government or the zoiykelbugs of this world. I think this lineage of forum software still has a lot to offer even in this faster paced world of matrix and discord etc.

i guess I'll pull the latest master

<fluffydonkey[m] "Hello, I'm setting up the monero"> you mean this plugin: github.com/monero-integrations/monerowp right? do you need to run your own monero node or is it enough to connect to a remote node?

I'm running my own node

And yeah, that plugin

I already have a monerod node up and running, but trying to figure out how to set up the wallet rpc server

<fluffydonkey[m] "I already have a monerod node up"> do you need to sync the whole chain?

That's already been done

When the plugin wants a port and ip address for the " Monero wallet RPC Host/IP " is it talking about the monerod daemon, or something else?

<fluffydonkey[m] "When the plugin wants a port and"> I just took a look at this: getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html seems like thats the case

I'm confused because I have a binary called monero-wallet-rpc in addition to monerod. Is it just a client then?

If that's the case, how's that different from monero-wallet-cli

Both the rpc wallet and wallet cli are clients of the monero daemon

<fluffydonkey[m] "That's already been done"> how much disk space does it take? I am wondering if the disk space of a typical vps can suffice.

~95GB unpruned

no, i'm reading the wrong metric 🤦‍♀️

~104GB

<fluffydonkey[m] "~104GB"> hm okay...i m thinking it might be better in some cases to trust a remote node to improve usability. What are the implications of that? I like the usability of the exodus wallet for example. But I am unsure what the downsides of this tradeoff are. I wonder if I should include a monero demon in my discourse integration plugin or if using a remote node is enough. I read this guide:

<spirobel[m] "hm okay...i m thinking it might "> Do you mean using a remote node for using with your wallet, or for accepting payments on a website?

<fluffydonkey[m] "Do you mean using a remote node "> for example when i was using the exodus wallet instead of the monero gui wallet I didnt have to download 100 gb it worked right away. I am assuming this wallet uses a remote node. This discourse integration I want to work on will essantially be accepting payments on a website yes. Is there a fundamental difference between a wallet app and this kind of use

case?

the wallet-cli allows people to interface directly with their wallet. the wallet-rpc provides endpoints for other software to interface with your wallet.

<spirobel[m] "for example when i was using the"> I don't think it's a big deal to use a remote node. I'm questioning why I set mine up :|

There was an known attack vector a couple of years ago where an evil node could reduce your privacy by having you make the request multiple times

That has been fixed, but I think since then, the recommendation has been to use a local node if you can

I think you can find a list of nodes run by trusted members of the community on the subreddit

<fluffydonkey[m] "I think you can find a list of n"> okay great thanks for the info

You should get a second opinion though. I'm just starting out too

<fluffydonkey[m] "You should get a second opinion "> I wonder if the mymonero server could be used with this: github.com/mymonero/mymonero-core-cpp mymonero.com

You don't need to mess with C++ if you just want to send/receive payments

There are multiple wallet clients in different languages that you can use

They connect with the monero-wallet-rpc to perform transactions. And the wallet-rpc server talks to the remote monero node

<fluffydonkey[m] "They connect with the monero-wal"> its this one, right? moneroecosystem.org

Yeah

hi

try again

hi

does anyone know anything about the wookey wallet.

getting a transfer error of invaild output

thanks for the assist @luigi1111

.

any ideas on how to move monies from this app

txdistiller512: what wallet are you struggling with?

Volantaryism: just saw your post. I have an XMR wallet called Wookey that I can not transferr out of. the error is invaild output

oooph, do you have a 24-word recovery phrase?

I've never heard of that wallet so my instinct says to recover it to the official GUI or something then generate a new walelt too and send your XMR there. maybe it can be trusted but, I don't know of anyone using it
