Whats a good privacy focused wallet for other coins i used to use exodus but i dont really want to use it anymore.

Or should i just use different wallets for different coins?

sethsimmons: and to complete yesterdays saga, the TR completed sync from scratch in 3h 6m

"ghost_matrix" (matrix.to/#/@ghost_matrix:matrix.org) different wallets for different coins is generally a good idea imo

If you're on Android, I suggest Monerujo for XMR

+1 ^

ghost_matrix[m]: Monero is kind of unique with its focus on privacy - worth it to have a separate, trusted wallet for it.

<[discord] Yonatan#6948>: That’s why I always say mixers aren’t as anonymous as you think they are

<[discord] Yonatan#6948>: The hacker ran the bitcoins through mixers 10s of time and they were still able to track them

isn't churning essentially the same?

no

artefact: when monero is sent from one address to another, the blockchain makes it ambiguous which of 11 sources it came from (and you don't even get the address of any of those sources), the amount is hidden and the destination address is unkown. Please, go ahead and trace monero through a few hops of that.

yes i know the basics of ring sigs / ring CT / stealth addresses. there are still heuristics though, just like mixers

sure there are heuristics. Just very different landscape than with bitcoin mixing

<[discord] Yonatan#6948>: Is there a possibility to make a lightning network for monero?

don't think so. i don't think xmr transactions have "arbitrary" operands?

It might be possible to dock on the lightning network

in my understanding there's a first transactions that stakes the coins, then a second transactions that eventually settles the off-chain balances

crypto currencies will scale by diversity. No need for lightning network. The one and only - world dominating blockchain ist nonsense.

i disagree. with many little coins it's much easier to pull off a 51% attack

never mind multiplying the code debt of all those projects

It takes 50 years for 8*10^9 people on earth to open a lightning channel using the bitcoin blockchain.

I've heard that's no longer accurate, because channel opening can be batched

ok. Never heared of that.

<rbrunner7> Interesting. Got a link? Somehow can't imagine how that should work.

don't remember, will dig a bit

Andreas M. Antonopoulos just published his book "Mastering the lightning network" github.com/lnbook/lnbook

<rbrunner7> Thanks, hyc. "Channel factories are an intermediate layer between Bitcoin’s blockchain and the Lightning Network". Unbelievable, really. Not yet complex enough, not yet enough bugs and angles of attack? Don't worry, we add a new layer, problem solved.

jep - Gets very complex very quickly.

don't you love unaudited overengineered projects that want to handle your money?

"Rebalancing problem" <- I am sure they will also find very absurd solutions for this one.

<rbrunner7> "The LN’s adoption is rapidly swelling". Yeah, their source 1ml.com/statistics gives for # of channels "-1.07% in the past 30 days" and for network capacity "-0.31% in the past 30 days". Monero, take note, *that's* how true adoption looks.

What was the command in the CLI to not have the COW lock you out every minute?

set inactivity-timeout 61 will wait one second extra.

(actual name might be slightly different)

IIRC 0 disables altogether.

purr-fect

inactivity-lock-timeout, so purdy close

hi

what do you guys think of the activity happening in defi right now? www.defipulse.com shows 4.45B locked up and it looks like it's only increasing

seems like the ICO fomo anno 2020

you think it's a bubble?

ab-so-fucking-lutely

why?

Maybe something interesting can come out of it. But currently it seems like a mish-mash of scams and unclear systems that are difficult to audit and mostly not really "decentralized"

Anyone with experience with docker + bitcoind + electrumx ?

Inge-: i used to run bitcoind and electrumx, but not in docker

is it borked?

Feel bork inc.® youtube.com/watch?v=muLAN-kP5pE

asymptotically: I used to run them, in docker. Now Electrum is complaining it can't connect, and I can't remember if there was anything special I had to do (think I have identical command lines, username/pwd checks out etc)

ERROR:Daemon:connection problem - check your daemon is running. Retrying occasionally... <- not very specific

try `docker logs -f name_of_electrumx_container` and then reconnect, maybe it will show a more specific error there

yeah nothing new there. before it fails to connect it says INFO:Daemon:daemon #1 at bitcoind:8332/ (current) - but unclear if that means it actually FOUND a daemon or just read its own config.

lemme pm you so that we don't ruin this nice monero channel with bitcoin related sadness
