sgp_, does the person who did the rendering need a render farm? I believe thats something that can be done with lots of gpus

btw thats the scammiest looking danknet site ive ever seen, definitely dont list that on getmonero

azy: please comment on the issue, but keep in mind that "looks scammy" cannot be a reason to not list merchants IMO, otherwise we would have to remove half the merchants we list. Some are non-professional websites that look like came out from the 90's or straight from some bootstrap template.

i cant see a benefit to listing such a site

Also, we have to consider that we don't actually investigate the merchants and we declare that. We don't list people only if there are strong hints or proofs that the website is scammy, otherwise we let the user make their investigations (and cannot be otherwise)

azy: We don't list what gives us benefits, but merchants who list monero as a currency

ignoring the scammy part, it's certainly illegal, yes?

What is "scammy" for you can simply be incompetence and i don't understand why that would be illegal.

theyre separate issues, it's illegal to run a gambling site like that isn't it?

no, it's not

why not?

Does the site have any reputation?

It's illegal to provide services illegal to some countries and we don't know if they are doing it or not. We are not the intercontinental police, it's responsability of the owner of the website to not provide their services to country where they are illegal. We don't know if they do that, because we don't make deep checks on the merchants.

I think we should not list such sites with zero reputation as they could be scams the same way we don’t list 0 day old wallets

is there a warning that the list might be full of scams?

selsta: That's the same problem. It assumes that we actually check the merchants, but we don't and we have a shitload of websites nobody has heard of before and have 0 reputation.

if we want to have only trusted services on the merchants page, the effort needed to check the merchants must be much bigger and our list will be like 5% of what it is now, using these strict criterias and IMO the merchants page would have no reason to exist

azy: yes, there is a disclaimer at the bottom and i recently added another one at the top (not merged yet)

also I think core team should decide if thsy want to link to onion gambling websites as they legally host the website

ah no it was merged and should be already online

selsta: That makes sense and they should give an input if they care about it.

Posted call for translators on reddit: reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/gf8js7…ators_new_gui_release_approaching/?

Please spread this ^ or just ask people to translate stuff on Weblate. We need translators

Selsta: I'm of the perspective that we don't link gambling sites that don't enforce georestrictions. And if it's on tor, it can't do that by default.

But even clearnet gambling that doesn't enforce georestriction is dicey imo

Inb4 free speech/how dare I suggest we comply with global regulatory frameworks

(and yes, we currently link to one or multiple gambling sites on the clearnet that don't restrict people in countries where it's illegal)
