I interpret the rules of this homeserver to be more aligned to my interests

Though I don't know if those rules align enough that my aspiring Monero passion project will be able to fit in and survive

I am at the mercy of both the Matrix homeserver, and underlying Matrix room

Is node.xmr.to trusted?

xmr.to pretty trusted

<viperperidot[m] "Is node.xmr.to trusted?"> Trusted, but better is your own node 😎

If atomic swaps between Monero and Bitcoin are possible, will xmr.to do atomic swaps eventually?

copenhagen_bram[: Why would it?

minus the middle men

yeah

xmr.to is already a very trusted exchange but with atomic swaps trust is no longer needed

trust in xmrto running away does not seem to deter most users. Trust in xmrto not serving you utterly dirty BTC would still be there.

Convenience, efficiency and speed would go away, which is what centralized services are good for

I hope there will be interesting market dynamics and services around atomic swaps. But personally don't see the benefit at all for something like xmrto.

ah

just remember you need transactions on each chain to take place in a certain order. Especially on Bitcoin side that involves long waiting time + fees; plus risk your counterparty decides not to follow after all because the price changed or whatever.

I don't think this will be relevant for day-to-day usage where you deal with not too gigantic amounts and you value speed and convenience

ah

maybe atomic swap could be useful for exchanging large amounts of monero for btw

Minko happy hour kicking off in just one hour over at minko.to. Play and grow your Monero knowledge; trivia prizes will be very generous between 17:00 and 19:00 UTC.

damn I forgot to travel outside of the US for this ;)

side note: I have filled my 1TB drive entirely with archives of the different Monero blockchain versions

^ nice!

I do not see any description for vtnerd's proposal repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/177

nioc: you have to look at the actual file that is being PRd

ok, it's usually there when you select it from "ideas"

nioc: repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/c…6958acafa87f72e5c/vtnerd-2020-q4.md

yeah but it's not on the page you thumbs up/down or comment

You should be able to do it here? repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/177

Scroll down a bit

there is nowhere to scroll to as there are no details there, how to comment on no details?

I think this has happened before and it shows up later

binaryFate: getmonero.org windows 64 gui zip download link is still 0.17.0

sgp_ can you try from incognito/anonymous window? Most likely browser caching issue

yup that was it ty

these overly greedy caching are annoying, don't know how to avoid them without changing link

rotten: define "very" - cause that seems a gambling ad to me
