  • What would you do if you, personally, were sanctioned?

  • Yes, in those circumstances, you really need to have some friends.

  • The whole thing is very bad, there is really no need to prove anything:"He also published the “evidence pack” used to justify the measures, which consisted solely of a few tweets from his personal X account and from Red Media." Source

    Selling your assets on a multiple is a pretty innovative idea! Nice! You will have difficulty doing this via institutional entities, but you can do it using xmr.

    Use your honor and reputation so people understand that you are not going to scam them, then those virtual bank assets for xmr to us degens on Crypto Twitter. You just need to promise to repay the people that are helping you now with the money that might some day become available to you again.

    On the face of it, it does not look too convincing, but there are people that genuinely want to help you and they will appreciate getting something in return.

  • In the case of sanctions, people and businesses are not allowed to deal with him, even using crypto.

    From what I understand, his grocery shop is not allowed to take his money.In the case of a bank card payment, it does not matter because the bank has blocked his card.I guess that he was able to get around that when he still had some cash, but now he no longer has any cash and he cannot withdraw any more. If he had some xmr he could pay with that at the places where xmr payment is accepted.

    The same applies for paying rent, he cannot pay the landlord, and it's unlikely that the landlord is ready to accept our preferred magic internet money.

  • I built a "No-KYC" recovery tool that accepts XMR Monero. It prevents your data from being sold to the industries you're trying to quit.

    Jump

  • Those might not be good channels anyway.

    What about rehab centers and other companies in the industry? Could they talk about your product to their users while you give them a referral fee (unique discount code like what you see for Youtube video sponsors)?

  • What will be your customer acquisition channels?

    Have you validated that some customers actually think that it's important that their data is not resold?

  • Monero accepted hotels in Thailand

  • Depending on your budget these might work for you.

    You can use CakeWalket or Trocador to pay in any cryptocurrency using Monero.

    Bitmain X9 Release

  • monero-wallet-cli need to connect to a daemon to create an address ?

    Jump

  • It looks like a generic warning message that appears for all commands if the daemon is not connected.Is the wallet generated correctly in the end?

  • Looking for guidance and help modifying gupaxx to enable XMRig manual difficulty

    Jump

  • Could you tell us why you want to adjust the difficulty? Do you want to give a bit less cpu resources to your miner?One thing you can do is have a look at the gupax files and see if you find a JSON configuration file for xmrig. Then you can adapt it as you wish.

    For your second goal, it's actually achievable. Are you familiar with rust? If not, have a look at this page https://rust-lang.org/learn/get-started/You will do the rust install, and then you only need to do cargo build and cargo run. I would suggest to follow a rust quickstart tutorial first. It won't take long, and after that, what you need to do will be clearer.

  • monero-wallet-cli need to connect to a daemon to create an address ?

    Jump

  • Could you post the reply you get from the CLI please?

    You shouldn't need to have a connection to generate a new address.

    For the address new command, maybe it's trying to check if the address was already used and has funds in it.

  • How mine with local node and GUI Wallet ?

    Jump

  • Not directly, gupax is using XMRig behind the scenes

  • How mine with local node and GUI Wallet ?

    Jump

  • The easiest way to mine that I have found is gupax

    It also let's you adjust settings like putting in your local node URL.

    Roger Ver Admits to Misconduct and Enters into Deferred Prosecution Agreement

  • GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors

    Jump

  • Hardware backdoors and exploits on Google Pixel (if they exist) are too prized to be shared and used to bust random drug dealers.

    The more people you share an exploit with, the more it risks getting exposed. You don't want your million dollar hardware exploit to be discovered and patched just because a local police department sent an email to the wrong address.

    Here I think that the French want to be able to easily get into ALL mobile devices. They are just having a bad time with GrapheneOS.Their strategy is to use the media to make people avoid using pixels and GrapheneOS, and when few people use that, the idea that only criminals use that sounds more plausible. You become guilty just by using GrapheneOS, no further proof needed.

  • [Announcement] Migrating away from lemmy.

    Jump

  • I like Lemmy, it's more of a message board and I think it's more adapted to the size of this community. I don't have any experience with monstr.land, but Amethyst feels more like Twitter, and we would lose the connection with the rest of the federated world.

    Why not deploy a nostr instance on a sub domain of monero.town? That way we can try it out.

    If this instance disappears could you please give an advance notice so that we can migrate our accounts based here?

    Note: during the outage we had no way of contacting you to get more information or help out, and that was a bit frustrating. Could we agree to meetup for example on lemmy.ml/c/Monero if there is an outage next time?

    Thanks

  • Let's get some alignment discussions going on PoS and Monero

    Jump

  • I think the whole PoS finality layer thing got out of proportions because people heard PoS and flipped.At the beginning, the Monero Research Lab was just gathering ideas on how to deal with the situation and that was one of the ideas proposed.People heard PoS, and it went viral, with all the misunderstanding that virality and oversimplification bring.

    If you listen to KabayaNerve on MoneroTalk you will see that he proposed that and immediately said that the PoS finality layer will not get community approval and is very unlikely to be implemented.You still have people on Twitter saying that some undefined people that may or may not be Monero devs are pushing for Monero to become a PoS coin like Ethereum. It's simple, it's emotional, it got viral, the only issue is that it's wrong (it's not an accurate description of what is happening).

    For BTC, I think that the huge network effects are the main reasons for it maintaining its price and thus security budget until now (as for any coin, you could say).As you said, it will be interesting to see how the situation develops after 2 more halvings.A conclusion in my article is that BTC now has a king, and its name is Blockstream. They control the network and will update it as they see fit, what the plebs and jealous people like us think is of no importance. They will never let that much power evaporate from their hands, and will rather hardfork into PoS than letting that happen because some miner does not make enough money.The original Bitcoin is dead, long live Bitcoin

  • Let's get some alignment discussions going on PoS and Monero

    Jump

  • Haha! STDs for Monero devs! The analogy is funny.

    You got it, the finality layer is complex and needs a lot of conditions to be done right, and it's outsourcing security to another network, not great.

    I don't think that the current BTC POW is that elegant though. Mining rewards are declining, and the fees are not coming. So the security budget is declining at each halving. At some point, mining hashrate will decrease, because miners run a business, and BTC will also be open for the same kinds of disruptions.I once wrote an article on the topic.
