  • I come here looking for help with the script and this is your response? Maybe this is why no one ever posts here. Newsflash you arrogant ass: there are lots of Tails users having trouble with v.1.0.19 right now because the github file has changed from deb.zip to an installer file. Changing out the version number in the sudo command has worked for me up until now but no longer. I've I've been using Tails for 8 years, do not like Qubes, and your disrespectful assumptions about me being some kind of schizo moron who needs to be spoonfed aren't appreciated. If you think it's strange to want to use Retoswap on Tails, you obviously know nothing about true Opsec. Nevermind, sorry I asked for help. Until now I thought you were a helpful and useful member of the Monero community. I'll just switch to openmonero.co and XMRglobal. And I'll say it again. If you want adoption of Retoswap by more than just a few, Retoswap shouldn’t make it mandatory to upgrade in order to trade until all of us in the privacy community are covered.

  • Yeah, I'm surprised that monerobull hasn't chimed in on this yet with the way he supports it so much. Retoswap shouldn't make it mandatory to upgrade in order to trade until all bases are covered, i.e. Tails users.

    Having Trouble Upgrading to Retoswap v1.0.19 on Tails

    I’m having trouble installing v1.0.19 on Tails. This is the command I’m using. Can anyone figure out what I’m doing wrong? It keeps saying “Failed to download Haveno binary”.

    amnesia@amnesia:~$ curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 -fsSLO https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/raw/master/scripts/install_tails/haveno-install.sh && bash haveno-install.sh https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases/download/v1.0.19/haveno-v1.0.19-linux-x86_64-installer.deb DAA24D878B8D36C90120A897CA02DAC12DAE2D0F

  • Maybe I don't understand fully, but if I sell a voucher for 1 XMR on Amazon, Amazon will know that I sold it with my real identity, right? Or are you saying to try to sell it with a fake Amazon account?

    New Alternatives for No-KYC Cash by Mail Trades and No-KYC BTC <-->XMR Swaps: XMRGlobal and DMswap

    XMRGlobal owns DMSwap. XMRGlobal appears to still be in beta testing for 2 more weeks but DMSwap appears to be live. I just want people here to know that these are out there. I have never used them, but they look promising. As always, use caution and small amounts if you try these out.

    From their websites:

XMRGlobal operates to protect user privacy and ensure seamless transactions within the Monero ecosystem. Features

    AVOID crypton.sh They scammed me.

  • Another alternative is to use XMR to rent a phone number for receipt of a one time SMS verification code at a cost of $3-5. In the past, Google would not ask for a SMS verification code again after the creation of an account, but if you are worried that they might, you can also rent a phone number long term.

  • The article seems to tout the greatness of BCH's 32MB block size compared to BTC's 1MB block size and implies that because of the 32MB block size, BCH is more agile and adaptable with respect to many crypto related issues, including quantum computing threats.

  • If they put fixed offers at the time higher the market price would you take it? You fucking wouldnt is my guess

    My expectation is that they all should be slightly higher than the market price so that the seller can make a profit. That's how it was with all trades on localmonero. Have you even ever done a cash by mail trade?

  • Letely, the price is going up but many of those offers may have been made a day ago or something.

    This is the whole thrust of my question. Are these "old" offers from "a day ago" that will suddenly increase when I respond to the "old" offer or are the sellers committed to the advertised price, even if it's below market value?

    Also, some people may be willing to take a little haircut to get the trade done fast.

    Really? Sellers do that?

  • I don't understand what you mean. Right now the value of 1 XMR is $213 USD. There are sell offers ranging from $208 to $236. The cash market exchange rate should be the same for all offers, right? Why would someone want to sell XMR for below market rate?

    On Haveno RetoSwap, why are some cash by mail offers less than the current XMR price?

    For example, right now XMR is $215 USD/XMR, but there's an offer listed at $210/XMR and another one at $213/XMR. This seems to happen relatively frequently. Anyone know why this is?

    localcoinswap.com as cash by mail option?

    It looks like you can both buy and sell XMR via cash by mail on this exchange. Does anyone know anything about it? It's not listed on kycnot.me and I don't see it mentioned here or in the Reddit r/monero sub.

    Monero @monero.town
    ksilverstein @monero.town

    On Haveno-Reto, in cash by mail offers, is it possible to see the online username of the seller (and thereby know their Local Monero reputation) prior to choosing a seller?

    I'm just starting to learn Haveno. When you hover the cursor over the seller, all you get is a "Maker's onion address". I realize that the whole purpose of Haveno is for both buyers and sellers to be anonymous, but I'd be more likely to use the service if I recognized the name of a trusted seller from localmonero. I know several of them are trading on Haveno, but I can't tell who is who. So I guess I'm asking if there is a way to find the trusted seller's online moniker if they care to divulge it for the purpose of buyers being able to choose a seller based on their localmonero reputation.

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

    I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it's creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren't blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.

    Cake Pay and Tor: "Use from this IP address is not allowed"

    Does Cake Pay Web block Tor exit nodes? I keep getting a pink error message that says "Use from this IP address is not allowed".I'm just checking it out for the first time at buy.cakepay.com and I've tried connecting unsuccessfully from multiple different Tor ip addresses. If so, doesn't this run contrary to their logstanding support of privacy and anonymity?

    Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance plans to step down and plead guilty to violations for US anti-money-laundering requirements, pay fine of $4.3 Billion

    It's about time all the lies caught up to CZ. My only regret abot this is that he won't be SBF's cell mate.
