01:15:10 When Tari finally comes out, will you dump your Monero to buy it? Will others? 08:47:07 Dear fireice_uk. I must strongly object to you reporting our great Monro community members to Freenode for racism AND getting people K-lined as a result! i.imgur.com/R0T9GGY.png THEY ARE NOT NEO-NAZI!!! THEY ARE JUST SAYING NEO-NAZI THINGS!! i.imgur.com/JYu44As.png I know this because they have been nice to me and made me their Magical Crypto Friend! If you don't cease immediately I shall throw another tantrum! 08:47:07 Monero Community Member PS. You are interrupting my session of masturbation to The Man in the High Castle. 11:41:05 Hi! Is there a reason why this room isn't encrypted? 11:42:27 So that anyone can read it, and post in it. 11:46:29 Wouldn't that be the same because you can only see the contents after you join? So if this room would be encrypted you could see the messeges after joining too. Isn't it the same? 11:48:10 So you'd want to encrypt it but give the keys to everyone ? 11:48:37 I'm not even sure what encrypting a room is really. You can use SSL on your connection to the freenode server you're on, but Freenode decrypts so they can relay to others. 11:49:10 But it's a public channel. Add crypto weight is pointless if everyone has the keys on request. 11:50:08 So it's unnecessary, right? :) 11:50:58 hello 11:51:13 hi 11:51:15 when u are behind router is better to use igd or not 11:52:15 AFAIK IGD is for telling the router "do what you need to do to route my stuff". So use this is you've no idea how to use a router and it's set up for automatic use. 11:55:42 default is disabled i think right?because is not connection in my case if i dont do --add-exclusive-node ip 11:56:08 I think defualt is enabled, since there's a --no-igd. 11:57:42 i want to connect from my tablet daemon to my server daemon that is behind router and if i dont do --add-exclusive-node ip will not connect! 11:58:28 You're using a LAN IP for this ? 11:58:35 yes 11:59:22 because server has 192.168.1.... internal ip 11:59:52 It's normal then. Daemons will connect to WAN routable IPs. 12:00:00 So what you did and all is good. 12:01:17 yes but is not connection is saying smth like "connection timeout" 5000 12:06:49 why is this  "connection timeout" 5000 12:07:16 Can't reach the other side. 12:11:14 so igd is not working 12:11:38 or is not enabled by default 12:14:22 I don't *think* IGD is meant to route stuff within your LAN, but to the outside. I could be wrong though. 12:15:16 yes i agree but what do in my case 12:16:23 Can you ping that other machine from the connecting one ? 12:16:56 Oh wait. I had assumed both were on the LAN. Is your tablet on the outside ? 12:17:05 yes tablet is outside 12:17:42 Why do you need to connect your tablet daemon to your server daemon and not any other ? 12:18:05 because i do solo mining from server 12:19:26 I do not see the relevance, but anyway: you need to open port 18080 on your router and route it to your server. Then reconnect your tablet when your IP changes. 12:19:50 port is open i checked this 12:20:05 I don't know how igd actually works, it's *supposed* to open the ports but I can't hlep if it doesn't. Maybe if you wait, someone who knows igd wlil reply. 12:20:13 Oh ok. Then it's odd. 12:20:41 Does the server see an incoming connection from the tablet at all ? "set_log 2" will show. 12:20:52 grep for "NEW" and the tablet's IP. 12:21:04 Then "set_log 0" to go bacl to default logs. 12:21:09 ok 12:25:50 hm i dont c tablet ip but port is open! 12:27:00 Are you sure the tablet is connecting to the right IP, and that the router is routing that port to the server running monerod ? 12:27:21 yes 12:36:16 Firewall maybe ? 12:37:08 mebbe 12:38:25 yes i need to check maybe fail2ban 12:38:29 smth like this 14:20:20 Hello, when we have a multisig wallet, a call to the transfer command generates a file (or hex in case of the RPC) containing the "transaction" already "partially signed" that we would then need to share with the other multisig parties. Is there a way of generating such transaction without signing it right away? 14:20:46 No. 14:21:11 Well, other than having the second signer generate it instead. 14:25:13 hmm, thanks. Given that when using a cold wallet together with a view-only wallet, we are able to generate an unsigned transaction to be signed offline, I was expecting that something similar would be possible. 14:32:58 mooo giving top notch support as usual 14:36:17 Any good trusted private android wallets? 14:38:53 There was monerujo but they recently started whitelisting dash so careful I guess. Hopefully still good. 14:39:52 Feather wallet might also do, they don't have an android version per se but it might work. 14:40:05 Cake Wallet seems pretty decent from a usability standpoint, but I don't have enough knowledge to be able to recommend it 14:40:18 I think cake is ios only, not android ? 14:40:44 (if it is also android, it seems like a pretty good choice) 14:40:49 cake is on android 14:40:54 Alright, thanks. 14:41:01 What's the ios one then ? 14:41:06 Or cake also ? 14:41:10 They also have an Android version too luckily, but I can't recommend it from a person with technical knowledge 14:41:15 Yep, iOS as well 14:41:20 OK, ty :) 14:41:42 No, thank you! You created moneroaddress.org right? 14:42:00 I wrote the code, saddam hosts it there. 14:42:46 That's so cool that you're so active, thanks for all your hard work. 14:48:10 Cake, edge, and mymonero where the ones I've found. Cake is the best? 14:49:21 monerujo should also be available 14:49:28 I don’t think you can see which is the "best" 14:49:30 say* 14:50:11 Don't leave out Monerujo 14:54:12 hello, i wanted to start a topic about 14:54:22 true decentralised network 14:54:31 on same ideas as monero 14:54:37 can we fund and create such project? 14:55:00 low latency truly decentralised tor alternative 15:03:46 i am sure anyone supporting tor would support monero created network 15:04:03 and run node software side to side with tor relay 15:04:06 Monero would create a tor alternative ? 15:04:21 How would you create a tor alternative and say monero did it ? :) 15:04:44 just curious, could such network be created 15:04:52 and funded without USA money 15:04:53 but XMR 15:04:58 Nonero is software, it doesn't create other software really. 15:05:01 what is the point 15:05:05 what is the specific issue with tor 15:05:11 what problem are you trying to solve 15:06:24 some points of centralization and on my opinion tor project represent their own perspective first 15:06:31 backed by funding they receive 15:06:53 and not always open source community needs 15:07:07 this is not a specific issue 15:07:08 Now that's pretty subjective. 15:07:30 what is the perspective that is not being represented? what are the open source community needs not being met? 15:07:46 If you were to start a project like this, would you always serve open source community needs first ? 15:07:56 (whatever that means) 15:08:08 well I see what happens with monero 15:08:11 and can see different 15:08:23 as for the centralization, the problem is that only people who are into tor are willing to run Tor relays. this is because nobody who doesn't like Tor runs a relay. 15:08:23 way monero and tor project are handling things 15:09:01 Not true. 15:09:22 Well, I don't know for a *fact*, but I'm reasonably certain various parties who do not like tor do run relays :D 15:10:20 i see better math behind monero then behind tor 15:10:25 healthier community 15:10:27 not sure 15:10:34 true lol, malicious ones. but nobody who thinks tor is OK but not great would run one. The reason is that there's no financial incentives, because doing so would create even worse problems. 15:10:35 maybe it's subjective 15:10:36 >better math 15:10:44 what does this even mean? 15:11:01 better academic research 15:11:09 obviously funded by community 15:11:17 funding is the key 15:11:44 well, do you fund the tor project? 15:11:59 less then I donate to monero 15:13:41 There was the kovri project, which built an i2p router. It failed. Mostly because it was mostly a one person project, some others came and went, but ultimately one person (who was hard to work with at that). 15:13:57 see, there we go. the reason tor is funded by big money donors and not the community, is that big money donors (and not the community) fund tor 15:14:04 So if people around monero were to try to build another such thing, I see no reason it'd fare better. 15:14:25 if you had specific issues in Tor, it would be simpler to fix those 15:14:37 It'd be an even harder job if you were to design a new network too, rather than build something from an existing design (like i2p for kovri). 15:15:06 And it'd take a while to show that this new design is secure. 15:15:44 And if it's not substantially better, you risk just splitting the user base of such networks further, which is bad for privacy in general. 15:16:06 Substantially better would be worth it though. But that's something you must first demonstrate. 15:16:38 So contributing to tor and/or i2p seems like a better thing to do at first approximation. 15:17:06 I feel like monero will surpass tor and i2p in next 2 years 15:17:15 and community will all together become much more rich 15:17:18 If you're worried about centralization (directory authorities I guess ?) then try to find ways to lessen dependence on them. 15:17:24 I followed kovri project 15:17:42 it lacked funding? 15:17:57 CuriosityNOW: it mainly lacked devs afaik 15:19:08 one thing I know centralization is bad, and focussing all privacy into tor without alternative 15:19:14 is bad thing for long-term 15:19:38 is it hard to find right devs for kovri ? 15:20:09 yes 15:20:30 low level networking code, very few people have the training to do it properly 15:24:05 Does monero run fine on a HDD? 15:25:19 initial blockchain sync is very slow on HDD. everything else, no difference. 15:27:43 hyc: thanks, would it be recommended to copy over the files manually first then? I have a copy of the blockchain already 15:28:01 yes 15:30:05 this loki network, we couldn't make something similar? 15:30:07 definitely would save time 15:30:31 and is it known who is in charge for kovri project? 15:33:31 nobody is in charge of kovri now, it's a dead project 15:34:10 Damn I remember being really hyped for that 15:35:12 Also, I don't need to worry about having some old, less efficient format with my current blockchain right? 15:37:52 nope 15:39:35 hyc, what would you do if want to put a lot of money into privacy network 15:39:44 but don't like how tor handle things? 15:41:13 I would probably do something very similar to kovri, try to improve i2pd. 15:43:53 Or just integrate Bob/Sam into the monero codebase - making it compatible with any standard i2p variant 15:44:18 Probably much simpler than reinventing the wheel once again 15:45:26 yeah I wouldn't start from scratch 15:52:45 i2pd accepts everything for donation except XMR 😂 15:52:45 https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd 15:54:00 there was some drama between i2pd and kovri a while ago that's why 15:54:03 honeypot detected 15:54:26 very sad about donation 15:54:51 i see also lack of youtube videos about monero 15:55:07 That sucks. Didn't know about that 15:55:15 kovri is abandoned now? 15:55:50 yes, afaik the dev exit scammed 15:56:12 wouldn't call it exit scam 15:56:15 Exit scammed a community funded project? 15:56:51 didn't he get filthy rich and delivered nothing? 15:56:54 He stopped working on kovri, but did not exit scam AFAIK. That would imply he had money upfront, which I do not believe was the case. 15:57:00 https://forum.getmonero.org/22/completed-tasks/86967/anonimal-s-kovri-full-time-development-funding-thread 15:57:09 this was funding for kovri? 15:57:32 I've seen the hourly rates of people working on the community projects. Nobody is getting filthy rich based off of them lol 15:58:52 Total cost: 7245 XMR 15:58:54 well 15:58:59 4 years ago* 15:59:22 soon before ATH of like 400 bucks 15:59:57 would make it 2,8 million dollares 16:00:23 but no idea how much he actually got end the end 16:00:47 let's talk how much is actually done? 16:00:48 monero price around that was < $10 16:01:35 and possible estimate how much it would need to complete the project? 16:01:43 in XMR 16:01:47 no 16:02:07 projects like this are never "completed" 16:02:36 also there is no point in funding kovri if e.g. i2pd exists 16:02:48 ^^^ 16:03:35 selsta: then why didn't Monero just adopt i2pd? 16:03:50 i2pd was dead during the time kovri got funded 16:03:57 the dev left for a year or so 16:04:03 and later came back 16:04:15 so kovri forked from i2pd 16:04:33 sure, but after kovri was abandoned, why wasn't i2pd adopted? 16:04:43 adopted in what way? 16:05:35 one might say 16:05:35 https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/tag/2.37.0 16:05:38 this works? 16:05:42 iirc kovri was supposed to be shipped with Monero as another way to additionaly increase privacy 16:06:47 monerod supports --tx-proxy now and a user can choose i2p-zero / i2pd / tor themselves 16:07:21 don't know if monero will ship with one of them in the future, not clear yet 16:09:44 shipping the GUI with tor might be more realistic 16:09:53 Anyone here run monero in a container? It's looking like the xmrto is my best bet 16:10:19 aye 16:10:44 i have a docker-compose file that builds the container rather than pull from a public repo 16:10:46 https://github.com/lalanza808/docker-monero-node 16:11:13 one dockerfile does a full compile, one just fetches binaries 16:11:56 Oh wow grafana too, nice 16:25:58 CuriosityNOW: answer first what you are trying to accomplish 16:26:01 that is the better approach 16:31:15 i've invested a lot of money into xmr coins 16:31:17 I think everyone here knows that most Monero exchange withdrawals and desposits are traceable (Breaking Monero - poisoned outputs). How does it feel to go out and lie to people that they are private and then earn less than holding BTC on your bag? 16:31:24 next reasonable thing is to invest into technology 16:31:37 around monero 16:33:11 + i know and believe privacy is all we have 16:33:21 i been around 10-15 years 16:33:32 i saw recently fud that was spreading against monero 16:34:19 Always has been 16:34:33 fud spreading I mean 16:34:58 from what i've seen so far these years 16:35:13 more and more funds are invested into spreading fud about 16:35:16 privacy projects 16:35:47 newbie users have no idea what's happening 16:35:55 how reddit is flawed 16:38:06 the whole Web is flawed 16:40:03 the quality will win at last 16:40:25 and I've put my bets on monero long long ago 16:43:51 Monero is, in some significant practical sense as far as I've been able to determine, the best thing going in privacy-oriented payment systems. I'm interested, and I'm trying to get onboard in a real way. 16:44:13 That said, I'm not indelibly marking my allegiance for it any more than I do so for other "brands". 16:44:24 If something else becomes better, I might go that way. 16:44:43 I suspect some Monero core devs probably implicitly think that way. 16:45:03 It seems highly likely given the Monero orientation toward practical, effective privacy focus. 16:48:34 beside that technology is not everything 16:49:01 I'm working on a reddit alternative. 16:49:19 monero is lacking some business strategies 16:49:29 Not getting much traction, but it's brand new 16:49:34 https://github.com/t-900-a/gemmit 16:50:05 upvotes are xmr transactions 16:50:39 gemini://gemmit.mooo.com 16:50:56 Pretty rough right now and requires a gemini web browser 16:51:47 CuriosityNOW: I think the business strategies are for users to undertake, unless you mean something other than what I think you mean by "business strategies". 16:52:30 It's like saying e-mail needs a business strategy. Monero is supposed to be a privacy protocol and not a scam coin. 16:53:12 pointing to mass adoption 16:53:20 I see more and more wallets which is good thing 16:53:21 anon_CWEJRrIS: Thanks for sharing, this looks interesting 16:54:19 for me monero is not a coin, it's philosophy 16:57:36 and true financial privacy, thanks all the people who worked on monero project 16:57:45 great work so far guys 16:58:06 CuriosityNOW: what kind of philosophy is Monero it to you? 17:00:08 in technology we trust? decentralization 17:23:21 how can i, as a layperson, know that there are as many monero in existence as ppl say there are? 17:24:43 f3r0x: I don't know technical details, but in principle it should be readable from the blockchain. 17:24:57 f3r0x: The blockchain is, after all, effectively where all Monero true reside. 17:24:58 print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 17:25:10 ah, there we go 17:25:26 It'll take an hour on SSD :) 17:25:36 zoiks 17:25:47 wait, allow me to rephrase 17:25:53 gadzooks 17:26:06 basically wondering what advantages btc has over xmr 17:26:13 other than brand power 17:26:13 Holy overclocked ryzen batman! 17:26:26 Way more hash power. 17:26:41 Way more places where you can use ui. 17:26:48 Smaller txes, faster to verify. 17:27:02 moneromooo: err 17:27:13 f3r0x: depends on what you value in a crypto 17:27:31 after using both xmr and btc i personally prefer xmr 17:27:34 moneromooo: Oh, I think I get it. 17:27:58 s/use ui/use it/ 17:28:13 I misinterpreted the bit about smaller transactions. 17:28:50 Well, I've seen a claim that using coinjoin to get some privacy ends up with about the same size as a monero tx. Dunno how close that is. 17:34:12 what's the deal with the claims about homomorphic encryption now being some kind of commercial product? Would that mean it should be 'easy' or efficient to create any sort of cryptosystem (including money) ? 18:01:41 > what kind of philosophy is Monero it to you 18:01:41 don't let bankers print money for their pals 18:01:45 and/or socialism for the rich is dumb 18:02:26 the rich like to pretend that most money is made taking risk but really it's the exact opposite 18:02:33 it's about getting let into the money printing club 18:03:11 and that outcome is exactly due to centralism 18:06:36 For me, Monero is more like a tool for implementing a philosophy than a philosophy itself. 18:12:53 I think every coin is a philosophy of its own 18:15:02 just wait till we can run nodes on space servers 18:43:03 homomorphic encryption isn't a silver bullet. it may let you generate txns that don't need range proofs I suppose 18:43:10 but not much else improves 18:47:39 hyc I thought it meant you could perform arbitrary operations on encrypted data. So you can have an encrypted database whose integrity can still be verified, which is more or less what a crpytocurrency is? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something basic (quite possible) 18:48:04 Damn syncing on HDD really *is* slow 18:50:04 good luck with that, I'll talk to you in 2022 ;) 18:51:40 nah, it'll only take ~6 months on a raspberry pi with HDD :P 18:53:31 as2333: just having an encryption cipher doesn't ensure the integrity of a DB. you need crypto signatures too, none of the other requirements change at all. 18:57:56 hyc, yes - my bad, you still need signatures, a decentralized consensus, etc, but if all operations are done on encrypted that, then privacy should be (much) better? 18:58:17 on encryped data* 18:58:33 is it possible to run more monerod(monero nodes) one one server? 18:58:42 and what would be needed to make that happen? 18:58:51 two chain directories? 18:59:06 Yes, and different ports. 18:59:42 you can run multiple servers on the same blockchain DB 18:59:50 but why would you want to run multiple nodes? 18:59:56 oh this is misleading now 19:00:01 on the same box that is 19:00:14 can run two monerod on same directory? 19:00:18 thing is that I see 19:00:21 after some time 19:00:26 connections 19:00:29 to monero network 19:00:32 get really low 19:00:41 like 1-2-3-4 connections 19:01:15 so idea is to run few monerod 19:01:17 servers 19:01:21 and route them differently 19:01:41 trought world make it more connected 19:01:45 to monero network ? 19:02:13 probably better to find out why connections get low instead of running 2 nodes 19:02:58 any other issues you noticed? 19:03:13 Is it related to bandwidth? 19:03:20 i am using tor for outgoing connections 19:03:36 using --tx-proxy or with torsocks? 19:03:36 and bandwith goes like 1-10 KB/s 19:03:48 system wide proxy 19:04:03 but would now use balancer 19:04:15 to mix few proxies and few tor socks 19:04:25 it's obviously some nodes 19:04:28 don't accept tor 19:04:52 aka after sometime monerod doesn't sync 19:05:56 > can run two monerod on same directory? 19:06:04 or to use two dirs? 19:10:12 It's supposed to be able to run twice on the same db. 19:10:38 must admit I haven't tested that in quite some time 19:10:56 but it was working before, arbitrarily many monerod's on the same DB 19:11:33 they wouldn't corrupt each other? 19:12:10 In theory, no. 19:13:30 now that txpool is also in the DB I can't think of any info they could get out of sync with each other 19:15:56 Man taking me almost an hour to sync 2k blocks 19:27:29 whatever I try 19:27:33 I get Error starting server: Failed to bind IPv4 19:27:38 even port is different 19:28:50 All three ports ? Are you really sure ? 19:30:07 which other beside ? --rpc-bind-port 5632 19:32:23 p2p port, 0mq port. See --help. 19:35:10 it's up 19:35:20 --zmq-rpc-bind-port 19:35:27 --p2p-external-port 19:35:34 --rpc-bind-port 19:35:56 bless now I got some connections 19:35:58 haha 22:07:29 test. 22:15:17 icles 22:15:53 https://www.thisworldthesedays.com/uk-professor-cracks-monero-and-its-transactions1.html 22:22:21 Nice DisBotXMR 22:23:33 lol, good that it starts muted 22:24:49 i was on a sales call lol 22:25:16 did def not start muted 22:25:19 *for me 22:27:21 finally I've got tangible results from having google/youtube blocked in my firewall 22:45:26 Do you also secretly wisth your mother was Howard's groupie? https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/bxl87y/it_has_been_a_5_years_since_monero_was_released/eq7qior/ 22:56:18 not sure if this site has made the rounds here on IRC yet: https://moneroj.net/ 22:57:47 very nice. I had seen the S2F chart, but didn't think to go to the homepage
