Hello everyone. It looks like a post reporting a bug and/or (less likely I hope) malicious activity regarding the MyMonero web wallet was deleted without explanation.
-
tikha
-
tikha
Does this post break the rules? I would think it would be helpful to know.
-
endogenic
it's not malicious?
-
endogenic
dude just needs to import his wallet
-
endogenic
server doesnt just know what wallets to scan w/o being told
-
tikha
So why delete the post instead of just saying that?
-
endogenic
i'm not a mod i dunno
-
endogenic
maybe guy deleted it himself?
-
endogenic
cause he was redirected
-
tikha
It says "removed by moderators"
-
endogenic
oh
-
tikha
Just looks really sketch as an outsider.
-
endogenic
why?
-
tikha
Cuz if it isn't malicious or breaking the rules -why hide it?
-
endogenic
because it's breaking rules?
-
tikha
I see posts regarding other services not working correctly all the time, and they arent deleted. How is this different?
-
endogenic
hm like i said i dunno
-
endogenic
i just scan wallets
-
tikha
Thats why I am asking
-
endogenic
you know mymonero cant steal funds right? i'm leaving a comment now
-
tikha
I know that is how it is supposed to work
-
tikha
But when a service goes rogue... anything can happen
-
tikha
And that is when reddit posts like this are helpful
-
tikha
Hasn't MyMonero had that specific problem in the past, where the client was maliciously changed?
-
endogenic
read my comment
-
endogenic
we addressed that
-
endogenic
fluffypony invented securebrowse, you check the build sigs blah blah
-
endogenic
and no
-
endogenic
our client has never been compromised
-
endogenic
you're thinking of... Monero
-
endogenic
people have gotten phished tho
-
endogenic
ttyl gotta get back to da grind
-
endogenic
thx for the tip
-
tikha
Ok - but my main point is about the reddit post being removed. It really just looks bad. I don't actually think MyMonero did something malicious.
-
endogenic
ok hope a mod hits you up
-
yanmaani
what's the deal with monero.org?
-
yanmaani
-
yanmaani
"Monero is actively encouraged to those seeking financial privacy"
-
nioc
a squatter owns that
-
yanmaani
'advocated for by' would be a better phrasing
-
yanmaani
nioc: so what's the deal? did you guys split up like Tox?
-
nioc
there was no split
-
nioc
someone took that domain and wanted to sell it for 100k
-
nioc
they have had it since near the bginning of monero
-
yanmaani
what about contacting .org registrar?
-
nioc
somebody owns it
-
yanmaani
[x] 'The registrant does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the domain name;'
-
nioc
how do you take it away?
-
yanmaani
[x] 'The domain name has been registered and the domain name is being used in "bad faith"'
-
yanmaani
[x] 'The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights'
-
yanmaani
-
nioc
I know nothing about the process
-
nioc
I suppose others do
-
yanmaani
nioc: You contact the registrar, politely tell them 'this person is squatting and I want them gone and they are violating the rules,' they look at the case and hopefully kick them out
-
yanmaani
The only problem is the trademark. IANAL, but there is such a thing as an unregistered trademark, and it does seem like Monero meets the criteria.
-
moneromooo
Nobody has rights to the monero name. It's not a trademark, it means "coin" in Esperanto.
-
moneromooo
Some company actually tried to piss off the monero community by claiming trademark and got their arses handed to them (admittedly due to their boss being an idiot).
-
yanmaani
moneromooo: I'm not sure that's the case. For example, there is the Monero logo.
-
moneromooo
That's be copyright, if it wasn't licenced liberally.
-
yanmaani
It can still be a trademark.
-
yanmaani
If I sell widgets stamped 'yanmaani widget solutions ltd', and someone else comes along and starts selling identical widgets with the same stamps, I have a pretty solid legal case
-
moneromooo
I think you did not understand my argument above. If you don't have huge pockets, you can't trademark single common words.
-
yanmaani
you need exactly zero (0) dollars to trademark a single common word
-
moneromooo
OK, in a way that withstands a challenge.
-
yanmaani
obviously, it depends on a wide variety of factors. If I attempt to trademark the word 'the' and sue everyone who uses it, I am not going to accomplish much
-
yanmaani
if I launch a cryptocurrency named 'pecunia', use this term to refer to the cryptocurrency developed by the team which develops the cryptocurrency known as 'pecunia', etc, my footing is a bit more sure
-
yanmaani
'monero' is not a common word in English, and trademarks are more complicated than owning a string of characters
-
yanmaani
for example, if I launch a brand of shoes named 'fish', I believe it would be a perfectly valid trademark
-
moneromooo
Only because it's in a differnet line of business.
-
yanmaani
even though 'fish' is a moderately common word in English, it is not generally used to refer to footwear
-
yanmaani
But 'monero' is not a common word in English. "I have 27 monero" is not a legitimate sentence without understanding 'monero' as cryptocurrency
-
yanmaani
Here is the money quote, courtesy of the United States Court of Appeals:
-
yanmaani
"foreign words from dead or obscure languages may be so unfamiliar to the American buying public that they should not be translated into English for descriptiveness purposes"
-
yanmaani
-
moneromooo
I really don't... :)
-
yanmaani
again, IANAL, but it seems like it could be worthwhile to start a project on CCS to raise the $1-2k you need and/or get someone to talk to a lawyer
-
yanmaani
ok I'll give you the TL;DR: a company sold cigars named 'cigar' in an obscure indian language, someone else did too, they sued them and won, because indian languages are obscure
-
yanmaani
sufficiently obscure for it to be irrelevant that they do mean 'cigar'
-
mapuche
hi
-
mapuche
i did make depends but install script need boost install
-
mapuche
i checked on contrib/depends but boost is installed there so why script need system boost
-
mapuche
and not use boost on contrib/depends
-
mapuche
hi
-
anon399
hi
-
anon399
i am a trusted member if you give me one monero i will give you two back. pm me if interested kek
-
moneromooo
I have no access to my wallet atm, can you send me the two back now, and I'll send you the monero later ?
-
anon399
sent
-
mapuche
why to exchange monero ?
-
moneromooo
To exhchange for... fiat ? To get money for rent/food. For bitcoin ? To gamble.
-
sech1
anon399 Sounds interesting, but I have better offer: if you send me 2 monero now, I'll say "thank you"
-
mapuche
i have boost_ignore_system_paths = on but depends script still stop because cant find system boost
-
mapuche
boost is installed on depends
-
moneromooo
Are you using the unmodified depends system from the monero tree ?
-
mapuche
yes
-
moneromooo
Then setting boost_ignore_system_paths = on elsewhere should not matter.
-
moneromooo
I don't think it should find your system boost in the first place, it's meant to use specific deps.
-
mapuche
no other change was made just git clone&&make -j depends
-
moneromooo
Can you paste the full error somewhere that's not here nor pastebin ?
-
moneromooo
Like paste.ubuntu.com, that one still works.
-
moneromooo
Oh, that's not gitian. I was assuming gitian. Hmm,
-
mapuche
shit was cmakecache.txt!!!
-
mapuche
ah with this cache
-
mapuche
allways u must check 100files
-
mapuche
thank u
-
mapuche

-
mapuche
i go crazy
-
mapuche

paste.debian.net/1131098

hello all, trying to compile monero v0.15.0.1 on a centos7 box and hitting an issue with randomx ( error: call to non-constexpr function ‘randomx_flags operator|(randomx_flags, randomx_flags)’) has anyone seen this before or been successful building on centos7?
-
selsta
onicrom: What gcc version do you use?
-
onicrom
selsta: gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)
-
onicrom
problematic
-
onicrom
?
-
selsta
should be ok
-
onicrom
just upgraded to gcc 7 and it worked!
-
selsta
ok, readme says 4.8 is minimum
-
selsta
but looks like not the case
-
onicrom

-
selsta
you’re welcome

micah
hi, i just downloaded the latest monero and started it up and its telling me: connected daemon is not compatible with gui
-
micah
i connected via 'simple mode'
-
Mochi101
micah, still getting that error?
-
Mochi101
I think someone said that the GUI is trying to use old version nodes...
-
micah
Mochi101: i just restarted it, and i think it resolved itself
-
kico
-
kico
ops
-
Mochi101
micah, right on
