Using your own node is the whole idea. Right now I'm using cake wallets node because apparently it's a little bit broken at the moment and only takes HTTPS nodes and my local node doesn't have an SSL cert...

Actually, I need to find out for certain because that might be a lie. I might have it on auto-detect and not completely off. I know I generated one for it.

In future im thinking it could have a block explorer, mining pool stats, reorg viewer, etc all without needing multiple web dashboards and all with your own node so you know stats are real. I dont see why it might not be possible to command your miner from it.

It works #Monero

Some flaws with this idea:

1. Apparently, consensus cannot tell a P2pool block from another block without it being possibly cheated in some way and negating the positive effect.

2. This punishes other pools, but it also punishes solo miners.

3. consolidating all the small outputs from P2 pool is already somewhat expensive now and with FCMP may be made worse.

The only company I found that came anywhere close to cake's customer service was called Ting Mobile, which was an MVNO. They still exist, but they were bought by Dish Network, and I figured the customer service would go down the drain, so I left.

Alaska Anon made a suggestion on MoneroTopia that if possible I like and doesnt fuck with tokenomics.

Basically, what would happen is the reward would stay the same at 0.6 XMR per block. However if any minor except for P2pool finds that block, they get 0.5 XMR per block and the 0.1 gets held back. When P2pool finds a block, they get the 0.5 that every other miner gets, plus they get the 0.1 from each block previous that wasn't found by a P2pool miner. So for example, if P2 pool finds a block after 11 blocks were found by other nodes, they would get 0.5 plus 1 Monero as a block reward. The 0.5 for mining the block and 0.1*10 from the rewards held back from the previous blocks.

He was saying this could cause headlines such as "P2pool reward hits all time high".

Just imagine, for example, if they missed 99 blocks, the reward would be 0.1 x 99 plus the 0.5 for the block.

Just had to uninstall and downgrade Fennec F-Droid because an update broke it. Re-installing a web browser is not particularly fun.

I told F-Droid to ignore the next update to avoid that issue occurring again.

A guy is building an app called #Monero Watchman that will send the user a notification in case of chain reorgs so that you can add hashrate.

It came about because of me posting this bounty after talking with Arctic Mine on Monerotopia

https://bounties.monero.social/posts/203/0-429m-a-monero-attack-alert-app

I had nano GPT do the math for me

Turns out #Monero's CAGR, since I started using it on Halloween of 2022, has been 15.4% using the 365 day simple moving average for both the starting and ending prices since it is a more stable metric.

Hey, thanks!

How would one go about getting one?

Not that I'm aware of. I asked OP for clarification.

I have my gripes with the Monero community using and relying so much on Twitter myself. But how do you figure RetoSwap is illegal? It's a peer-to-peer, decentralized exchange, so if it's illegal, then Bisq should be illegal as well.

Absolute fucking banger!

I know exactly how he felt. Cake wallet support has been great, and the only company that I've ever had that came anywhere close to it was Ting Mobile service back in like 2016.

Okay, that did the trick.

I did clear app storage, which wiped all the permissions, but I will try a straight uninstall and reinstall.

Yeah, I did that. But I'm not seeing anybody else. Besides myself, after clicking teleport.

Yeah. 1.0-rc2

I just got on this version to test it out, and I'm curious. I see that it has channels for like Bluetooth range, block, neighborhood, city, etc. How does it determine what to use as the GeoHashes?

If I were going to sell my Monero, I definitely would not sell it to a Bitcoiner. Because I don't know where that person's Bitcoin has been. Better to sell it for Fiat and use the Fiat to buy what you need.

Only sell the absolute minimum you need and only on RetoSwap.

This ought to be an ad

There's one on SimpleX as well.

Well, I hope their plan wasn't to beat down #Monero and hope it stayed down because clearly that's not happening.

More low quality reporting from coin telegraph.

So the routing algorithm works like this. There's something called the contention window. And the very first part is for routers and repeaters. And they will always broadcast anything they hear no matter what.

The second part of the contention window is reserved for clients to rebroadcast any transmission that they only heard one time and the farthest away node by signal strength is the one that rebroadcasts it.

The third part of the contention window is used by what are called router late nodes, which are meant to fill in coverage gaps. They will always rebroadcast whatever they hear, but they will only do so after all routers have already broadcasted, and after all clients have already broadcasted, if needed.

By using router mode at low elevation you cause something called hop gobbling where the router will broadcast the message and not end up letting it broadcast to a node that would be better positioned to broadcast it farther.

100 feet isn't a hard and fast rule, but it's a good general idea because the higher the node is, the better it would work as a router.

A node that is, say, 50 feet on a tower on top of a mountain would be a great router, even though it's only 50 feet above the ground. It's way above the valleys around the mountain, so it would work fine.

If you live in a flat land, the absolute highest towers would be the best place for routers.

Generally, if you have access to such a high spot, you will probably want to coordinate with other local mesh users in order to optimize the placement of your nodes.

Also, since routers broadcast as soon as they hear a message, a badly placed router can actually decrease the distance a message can travel across the mesh and therefore hurts everybody.

I think this may be badly worded because I had trouble understanding the scam myself. It seemed to me as though the Bitcoin seller got a MacBook, the Bitcoin buyer got Bitcoin, and the MacBook seller got Fiat, which I see as no different from a third-party proxy shopper service.

I also see several comments below saying that they had trouble understanding it as well.

The only thing I could see as a possibility here is that the Bitcoin seller on Robosats, aka the scammer, makes a dispute saying that they never got the fiat because the buyer sent it to the MacBook seller and not them, which is the point of the scam.

If arbitration is used on Robosats and the Bitcoin seller has to lock up their Bitcoin in the trade process, and the arbitration sees that the seller told the buyer to use a different account, then it seems obvious what's going on and the dispute would resolve in favor of btc buyer. scammer loses their Bitcoin Bitcoin buyer gets the Bitcoin, scammer gets a macbook, macbook seller gets fiat for macbook.

You can't lose Bitcoin in a boating accident.

Once it's tied to your identity, you are fucked forever. If you send it through a mixer, and then use it to pay somebody, and they do something wrong with it, and you are the only KYC person in that chain, you are going to be the one who gets the hammer.

If you say you lost your Bitcoin in a voting accident, and then they see it move, they know that you lied, because you are the only one who could have moved it, and they can see that you moved it on chain.

Well by then we better have the circular economy going where you get paid for your work directly in Monero and pay your bills directly in Monero.

I think all solutions have to be brought up, at least to be talked about, although I doubt very seriously that it would occur.

An entity has made an UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT to 51% attack #Monero. You can help by mining with gupaxx on whatever hardware you have and its super easy. Monero cares for your privacy, please step up to defend it in its time of need.

Many state actors especially would love to see the death of Monero, and it would be a serious blow to the average person.

This cannot be allowed.

The saga continues. I received it earlier today for like five minutes, and then it went away again for a long time, and then I just received it again, and it has now gone away again. But I can sometimes receive packets from it, but I can't get a message to ack on LonfFast.

Why it would just come back after being down for six days is beyond me.

Do you have an app on fdroid (your own repo obviously) and zap store?

If you go on a plane with it, make sure to set it into client mute mode. That way you are not connecting people on the ground from hundreds of miles away that won't be able to see each other once your flight leaves the area.

My general rule of thumb is that if your node is less than 20 feet above the ground, you should be using client mute. If it is between 20 and 100 feet above the ground, you should be using client. And if it is 100 or more feet above the ground, you can likely use router mode.

I think you can still do so, but it's made purposely inefficient, so that CPUs can do it better.

I'm just sad that I don't keep a fiat around to take advantage of it.

The government can't assert control over them and it scares them shitless.

#Haveno #RetoSwap next update

I was going to use bitchat-tui on my linux monero node and have it always on as a service... But that failed. It only scans for a limited amount of time, so the only time you can see that it exists is when it's scanning, and I could not exchange messages back and forth between my phone and the computer, because apparently the noise protocol isn't working on the tui yet, so it couldn't do the encryption.
