out of stock

can't purchase with monero

Might have gotten aantonop to add Monero to his shop/site 🧐

Thanks to all who made the merchants page on monerooutreach

sethsimmons: as for your comparison of a btc "private" tx vs a mooonero tx, the other comparison is how long on avg does a tx take

Ah yes, need to add that to my list of things to compare next for “private spends”

Here’s the to-do list:

But I also would like to add Wasabi/JoinMarket to get a better picture of overall stats for Bitcoin mixing tools.

nice

I assume he uses BTCPay?

Seems like it from the responses

But I haven't verified myself

woah nice one seth

are you into dad jokes sethsimmons ?

I hate them with a fiery passion

:P

ever considered changing your name to sxmrsimmons?

How is that a dad joke?

HOW

Maybe I don't want to know

xmr > eth

Not a bad idea though so people don't think I'm an Eth shill 😅

<charuto "xmr > eth"> well played sir

lol

I can't help but pronounce that "sexmrsimmons" in my head

Idk if I like Monroe THAT much

sex mr simmons

not as great as mr sex simmons

I can't unsee that

but i like that

<charuto "not as great as mr sex simmons"> New Twitter nick incoming

lmao

This will be a stupid question but that's okay because I don't understand crypto

GUI has Advanced -> Sign/Verify, where you can sign (text/file) messages

I wonder if it's possible to send *encrypted* messages to a specific Monero recipient/address

kind of like pgp I suppose

Couldn’t you encrypt a message in tx_extra?

Would probably require manual construction though

To use it like an encrypted memo field

sorry, forgot to mention that this would be over a seperate channel

so not using the blockchain

Oh, not on-chain?

nope

Huh

You’d have to know their node address

Then

And do it over p2p

Lets say you only have their Monero address

I think

could you do it direct node to node throught the GUI?

would it be possible somehow to send an encrypted message to a specific monero addr

using your priv8 key

Where do you send it if not on-chain and not direct?

the network protocol involved is irrelevant atm I think

You could generate it for sure

Sure, but the node IP is the destination address. Just has to be over a side channel (obvs privacy implications)

lets say you have a different channel, bitmessage or otherwise

and its integrated in your wallet

so just signing with your key, that's it

signing would not be enough when your chat goes through a centralized thing

And shuffling down some pipe somewhere, according to some p2p protocol

signing is basically "I wrote this"

but it will be cleartext

hence my encryption question

I am pretty sure you could encrypt a message with your private viewkey or spendkey, but then anyone with the public key could decrypt it

but I am no mathologist

We call them mathographers actually jwinterm

ETA mathographer

You could include a MAC of some kind

for integrity

but you're wondering specifically about encryption?

You could use something like ECIES

sarang: oof, ok. thanks.

Functionality could be added

sarang: The GUI has: i.imgur.com/zqF3Imk.png - my idea was to add an extra inputbox: "recipient address" which would be a Monero address and only him would be able to decrypt it

But I don't know how complicated that would be to add

the fact we can do signing is cool as it is, though

This would allow third-party wallets to host a centralized chat service without being able to mitm the chat messages

and for users: you'll be able to chat with owners of Monero addresses

(or people could also use bitmessage for a decentralized alternative)

which could be handy in retail - have a conversation with the person you're paying

Just a paste-the-address kind of thing?

That's doable
