SearXNG seams to be the active project
The repo says, that the project is no longer maintained? 😕
Monero and privacy
Haven’t updated my relay list in a while, what are some quality relays I should be using these days?
Check out these two resources
It has the same throughput problem like Bitcoin, but has no L2 network yet. At the moment it’s not a problem at all, but it will become one, so we will need something like Lightning Network as well.
We have recently disabled the ability to zap nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network.
Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees.
The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network.
Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade.
We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.
One of the reasons I prefer Monero. It just works.
SimpleX Chat v5.4.0-beta.3!
Share screen/window in desktop video calls!
Lots of group improvements:
- create groups incognito.
- block some members just for you.
- etc.
Lots of fixes - more stable connections, more stable sending files, fixed file sharing and many crashes.
Get it from GitHub, our F-Droid repo, Play Store beta and TestFlight for iOS: https://simplex.chat/downloads/
Also, iOS and Android (aarch64 only for now – it didn't change for arvm7a devices) are built using the new version of the GHC compiler that should reduce the battery consumption a bit - please share how battery consumption changed for you, comparing with the previous version.
Awesome! In which version will I be able to import my phone profile to desktop and vice versa?

I love GitHub. I wish it was decentralized and anonymous and not owned by Microsoft. GitHub is like a social network to me.
Awesome! I really like noStrudel https://nostrudel.ninja/
Hey nostr:npub146pljh7ke4d60jfn3ycns5ptuetk0wz89jvd7devf5h48ejn50zsfq3u8t I fixed it. I misconfigured my docker network.
Hi. yes. I tried to subscribe to your Nostr relay but get the following error after trying to pay for it:
{"error":"Post \"http://monero-wallet-rpc:18083/json_rpc\": dial tcp: lookup monero-wallet-rpc on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host"}
You may want to see this issue where I posted a solution:
https://github.com/pluja/nerostr/issues/6
Also, pluja said he updated the docker images, so maybe try that also. I'll check again in a few days and will try to subscribe. 😃
Thank you! That weird. It is not the same error. The port is correct, but it can not find the host, which is odd, because the name is correct and they are in the same docker network.
I will look into it.
Everything is proxied through the Tor network. This is my command:

Running a pruned Monero node on GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel 8. Synced the last bit over tethered 5G. Runs in the background. Sync took almost two full days.

Hey, yes I am running nostr.portemonero.com :)
