01:35:52 <leonardus> hi, I need help buying monero
01:36:13 <leonardus> which exchange should I use?
01:36:18 <leonardus> should I use an exchange at all?
01:39:09 <moneromooo> An exchange is safer if you withdraw your money right after your transaction. But they'll want your personal info, most likely.
01:39:29 <moneromooo> More complicated: bisq.
01:39:56 <sethsimmons> leonardus: https://www.monerooutreach.org/how-to-buy-monero.html
01:40:03 <sethsimmons> Lots of good info in there 🙂
01:40:21 <ghost_matrix[m]> Quick question is bisq anonymous? or the safest option right now in terms of not having to give info?
01:40:39 <sethsimmons> It’s one of the safest, yes.
01:40:52 <sethsimmons> It’s p2p with arbitrators as needed, and all over Tor
01:41:30 <ghost_matrix[m]> > It’s one of the safest, yes.
01:41:30 <ghost_matrix[m]> ok makes sense :)
01:41:45 <ghost_matrix[m]> Can you cash out on bisq for fiat?
01:41:56 <sethsimmons> Only BTC AFAIK
01:42:04 <sethsimmons> But it’s been a while since I’ve been on there
01:42:28 <ghost_matrix[m]> I see so you can cash out but only via BTC?
01:43:16 <sethsimmons> I’d have to double check, not 100% sure
01:43:40 <ghost_matrix[m]> Thats ok i will look into it :)
01:44:17 <ghost_matrix[m]> Seems like bisq is the best option right now especially because of tor integreation
01:44:28 <ghost_matrix[m]>  * Seems like bisq is the best option right now especially because of tor integration
01:44:49 <leonardus> also windows defender has a false-positive on the monero GUI wallet
01:45:41 <moneromooo> Most antivirus do. Monero not big enough for those people to bother doing a good job.
01:49:49 <leonardus> is there a way to calculate/approximate how long I would have to mine in order to get 1 XMR?
01:49:57 <leonardus> I have a Ryzen 3600 and RTX 2080 Super
01:50:57 <moneromooo> Most pools have a widget that does kinda that.
01:51:36 <moneromooo> You put your hash rate in. Run a miner for a minute to get your hash rate.
02:02:07 <niocbrrrrrr> leonardus: unless you have free elec don't bother with the GPU as it is very inefficient with RandomX
02:02:32 <leonardus> niocbrrrrrr: noted, thanks
03:04:45 <leonardus> I could only get my identity verification to work on Coinbase so I bought some LTC which I can hopefully then find someone to sell me XMR with
03:47:58 <doktoro> im getting the error "#monero-markets: Cannot send to nick/channel" When I try to post in monero markets :(
06:13:54 <Inge-> leonardus: you can trade for xmr on binance or tradeogre without KYC
06:14:30 <Inge-> maybe morphtoken let's you do Ltc -> Xmr too
06:45:40 <Mochi103> leonardus, or changenow
07:59:37 <tryphe> leonardus, or waves.exchange
22:17:39 <stylesfresh> hello! :)
22:18:43 <stylesfresh> looking for a little help
22:29:52 <moneromooo> Ask your question.
22:30:37 <stylesfresh> getting a /json_rpc error http cannot connect
22:31:14 <stylesfresh> v0.16.0.2
22:31:59 <stylesfresh> fresh install followed the instructions to the T
22:32:15 <stylesfresh> updated from v0.16.0.0 because of DNS error
22:34:28 <moneromooo> I assume you have it running, you have the right IP, the right port, no closed firewall, no masquerading to setup, no http/https mixup ?
22:36:03 <stylesfresh> right ip and port. followed that guide as well like always. no firewall crazy just bare os, it is http
22:36:41 <moneromooo> Then be precise about what you did, the error and where it comes from.
22:37:58 <stylesfresh> i manually started the gui through the terminal. I havent done anything else. i downloaded the newest. installed it like i do all the others and when i run it the errors pop up in the terminal
22:39:23 <moneromooo> So you're seeing "/json_rpc error http cannot connect" message in the terminal after starting monero-wallet-gui ?
22:39:57 <stylesfresh> i will run it again quick because i want to be 100% sure
22:48:13 <dEBRUYNE> stylesfresh: Perhaps there is a process in the background blocking it
22:48:18 <dEBRUYNE> Could you try a reboot?
22:49:43 <stylesfresh> sorry the whole thing froze very unusualy has never happened before
22:49:47 <stylesfresh> i have rebooted many time
22:49:55 <stylesfresh> to different instances as well
22:51:59 <dEBRUYNE> Which OS are you using?
22:52:08 <stylesfresh> tails
22:53:25 <dEBRUYNE> Tails requires a special setup
22:53:29 * dEBRUYNE looks for a guide
22:53:37 <stylesfresh> yes
22:53:50 <dEBRUYNE> https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/h8pbc2/guide_setting_up_a_monero_full_node_on_tails/
22:54:23 <stylesfresh> yes i have seen that i cannot do full node
22:54:35 <stylesfresh> thank you
22:55:06 <dEBRUYNE> There's a remote node guide in there as well
22:55:09 <dEBRUYNE> Somewhere at the top
22:55:57 <stylesfresh> yes i have followed that too
22:56:33 <stylesfresh> i have reopened from seed
22:57:04 <stylesfresh> everything i could find an think of this usually happens to me but i update an im good
22:57:17 <stylesfresh> this time i have been stuck for 8 days lol
22:57:23 <stylesfresh> finally asking for help
23:32:15 <Dean_Guss> on getmonero.org it says:
23:32:20 <Dean_Guss> Show hashes to verify your download
23:32:21 <Dean_Guss> These SHA256 hashes are listed for convenience, but a GPG-signed list of the hashes is at getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt and should be treated as canonical, with the signature checked against the appropriate GPG key in the source code.
23:32:53 <Dean_Guss> but I import binaryfate's pgp key as given in the link and hashes.txt does not appear to be signed with that key
23:36:55 <Dean_Guss> NEVERMIND!  figured out my error
23:37:39 <Dean_Guss> I thought the .asc on github was curl-able but you gotta click through and get the raw pgp
