<dvd900> the remote node in the git issue was down ;____; i will be patient and wait for local to sync thanks yall

dvd900 you sure it is down? community.xmr.to/node/mainnet/health/api/v1 says okay

I assume you used simple mode previously in GUI?

<dvd900> yeah thats right

<dvd900> cause im a simp

<dvd900> let me try to reconnect 2 the node and get the log about it being down again

Simple mode currently has issues with sending because of all these nodes in gui.xmr.pm/files/block.txt not relaying transactions

but we are working on a new release

switching to a local or remote node should solve it

node.xmr.to 18081 connects fine here

<dvd900> im feeling like this is a *me* problem

<dvd900> Warning: using an untrusted daemon at node.xmr.to:18089

<dvd900> Using a third party daemon can be detrimental to your security and privacy

<dvd900> You are strongly encouraged to connect to the Monero network using your own daemon

<dvd900> If you or someone you trust are operating this daemon, you can use --trusted-daemon

<dvd900> Using an untrusted daemon, skipping background mining check

<dvd900> Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon: node.xmr.to:18089. Daemon either is not started or wrong port was passed. Please make sure daemon is running or change the daemon address using the 'set_daemon' command.

18081 node 18089

not*

you have the wrong port

<dvd900> : O shame on me

<dvd900> yay everything worked, thank y'all good luck on the next release.. the work yall doin blows my mind

Hello, where can I find some doc to introduce merge mining? Curious about understanding the process. I saw it was used for a couple of projects that merge mine with monero

That’s a great intro

<sethsimmons "tlu.tarilabs.com/merged-"> Thanks, I was coming back to the chat to say I finally found this link :)

Nice 👍

what are these monero 'badges' I keep reading about?

anyone know why the gui wallet on windows 7 isn't connecting to the remote node?

it's been hours now of it just saying "connecting"

maybe try a specific node?

locustlord: Did you try using a different remote node?

Is this new? I hadn't seen it hackingmonero.com

nice. so much free work force trying to prove monero's security.

binaryFate: it looks kind of sketchy. Is there a timeline? How are solutions judged? Where does the prize money come from? What will happen to the results? What happens to your solution if it is NOT picked? Will you just run off with my solution without paying any prize money?

thanks binaryFate :)

Inge-: says that they've already raised $925k somehow

by 11 contributors. i wonder who they are ...

sockpuppet1, sockpuppet2, sockpuppet3, ...

$1.5M prize money, yet they use a cheapo webhosting service and include no contact information of any kind

Totally legit

take my money!!

Not bad.. the site exists since only 18 days.

1)No https 2) "another WordPress site"

Not bad

lol

upwork.com/job/Tracing-cryptocurrencies_~0191b27a7ece4d4a9b profile created 30th of October

looks 00% legit

hmm, I wanted to type 100% first :D

985k

lol

I guess that's not a bad portion of the over $1M bounty?

what could be the motivation for building scam monero hacking service?

hoping to receive some useful tricks?

obviously

Steal the solution and claim the irs bounty?

would be hard to present the solution to irs for someone who doesn't know how to setup https

Its obviously run by the NSA. They can't list a contact address because it's secret. Also they don't need to use https because they know it's useless. But should be totally legit.. I submitted a brute force algorithm breaking monero. It takes a while to come up with a solution, but it provably correct. I'm waiting for my 1.5M to arrive now.

lol

lol algo_max[m]

Did anyone see a requirement for the solution to be "usable in a reasonable timeframe with current hardware" ?

Inge-, I never seen that mentioned.

That link to the Upwork thing though... Makes me wonder how legitimate it really is. Read carefully:

We are seeking innovative solutions for tracing of cryptocurrencies, mainly Monero (XRM), by expert tools, data, source code, algorithms, and software development services.

I'm always protected when I spend my XRM...

I guess this is easy to trace coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aerum

easy mil!

True hey binaryFate

:D

hey I've tried many different remote nodes

it just stalls at connecting and doesn't show my balance

this is on oxygen orion on windows 7

locustlord: which one did you try? node.xmr.to 18081 should work

also did you activate socks5 proxy inside settings -> interface? if yes, deactivate it

I tried that

I tried every node at moneroworld.com

do you use a VPN?

no

mobile internet?

no

it's a wired connection

anti virus? firewall?

no

locustlord: how about monerujo?

I'm trying with the portable version

oh the monero gui

monerujo for android
