how do i access that "daemon side"?

if it is in detached mode you can do ./monerod status

Is anyone doing DCA buying Monero? If so, how? I was hoping to setup with kraken but they don't have an autobuy feature :)

Franck[m]
* Is anyone doing DCA buying Monero? If so, how? I was hoping to setup with kraken but they don't have an autobuy feature :(
-
hyc
write a script to buy with their API
-
tio_
curious, what is the opposition to doing it manually?
-
tio_
unless, i suppose, you wanted to trade in small amounts over long periods of time
-
tio_
with high frequency
-
Franck[m]
<tio_ "unless, i suppose, you wanted to"> Exactly that. Using monero as saving accounts while not being bitten by the volatility. Let's say I want to save $10k in a year. Using DCA I can buy $3 a day. I don't have to worry about timing the market in (and out for that matter) with DCA.

Similar to the original "hodler". I am bad at trading, I don't want to worry about that :)

gingeropolous
hrm. i wonder if I ran a haproxy load distributor for node.moneroworld.com , if a tx gets routed to a AHP, thne the AHP would see that it came from my server
-
gingeropolous
though the AHP could just drop the tx upon receipt
-
gingeropolous
*unless* the node.moneroworld just duplicates the message to all nodes on the load balancer
-
gingeropolous
well that would mess with dandelion
-
gingeropolous
goddamnit whyzit so late
-
gingeropolous
hrm, could also make the GUI blast out tx to multiple remote nodes
-
gingeropolous
would remove the need for a centralized tx blaster
-
gingeropolous
awesome. a maintained repository!
github.com/buger/goreplay
-
gingeropolous
hrm thats gonna get messy . nah this won't work with refreshes
-
gingeropolous
well, i think this would have to be in the wallet itself so it could connect to multiple, split up the refresh requests, and then push tx to multiple
-
gingeropolous
could have the advantage of decreasing remote refresh time with multiple bakcneds
-
gingeropolous
BakCNeds!
-
selsta
in GUI simple mode the transaction gets sent through both p2p and remote node
-
gingeropolous
ah ok, so 2 / 9 nodes send the tx? so it stems from a random p2p node and the remote node?
-
selsta
yes
-
gingeropolous
i wonder if phone wallets are using the p2p network as such
-
sethsimmons
-
sethsimmons
Can someone give me voice in -community? binaryFate moneromooo
-
sethsimmons
Not sure who else has permissions but I’d love to be able to talk there again if possible.
-
Bish
hi , i tried to use -tx-proxy, but didn't add a tor peer
-
Bish
if i try to send it now (over clearnet) the daemon says it's a doublespent
-
Bish
but as far as i can tell the moneros are still there :(
-
Bish
where does the monero daemon save the infos about txs which are not yet in the bc yet
-
Bish
it looks like my transactions are somewhere inside the abyss
-
asymptotically
Bish: i had the same issue when i tried out --tx-proxy, let me just double check how i fixed it
-
sethsimmons
Yeah f it’s your own node just run:
-
sethsimmons
flush_txpool [<txid>] Flush specified transaction from transactions pool, or flush the whole transactions pool if was not provided.
-
Bish
does flush mean, send them out?
-
sethsimmons
Bish: if your transaction wasn’t relayed do the above then try again.
-
Bish
because i don't want to do that anymore
-
sethsimmons
No, it means dump them/don’t gossip them
-
Bish
c0ol
-
asymptotically
oh that was much easier than what i did :P. i used the get_transactions rpc method to get the tx again, and then i pasted it into xmrchain's tx pusher
-
Bish
where do i enter that command, ?
-
sethsimmons
That works too if you absolutely need that specific transaction to be relayed, but normally it’s easier to just flush and try again once you’ve fixed whatever peer issues you have.
-
sethsimmons
<Bish "where do i enter that command, ?"> In your monerod terminal
-
sethsimmons
Or in the Log portion of the GUI if you’re using that
-
Bish
o right i totally forgot that thing is interactive
-
sethsimmons
Yup 🙂
-
Bish
that worked!
-
Bish
but the onion node is not there :[
-
Bish
xmkwypann4ly64gh.onion:18081
-
Bish
or atleast it fails to send it
-
Bish
can i somehow test if the tx proxy will work?
-
sethsimmons
Send a transaction over it and wait 3-4m, if it’s still not visible on an explorer it isn’t working

ErCiccione[m]
can somebody voice my irc handle in #monero-dev?

oh

ErCiccione[m]
i have to resolve a problem with my matrix bridge, that's why that [m] user looks voiced, but i cannot write anyway. I'm using an irc client with [irc]

Can someone also voice ullbeking ?
-
Inge-
(in here)
-
ullbeking
thank you Inge- and moneromooo !
-
ullbeking
i'm using the monerujo wallet on an Android phone. it's currently spinning with a message, "Wrapping things up... This can take a while!" It's been about an hour or more, so far. How long should I wait?
-
Bish
ullbeking: im killing that app frequently because it hangs :p
-
Bish
are u running your own node?
-
ullbeking
Bish: does killing it cause any data corruption? and no, i'm not running my own node.
-
Bish
what "stage" is your app in? have you entered your wallet?
-
Bish
is it trying to refresh your wallet
-
Bish
as long as you write down your 25 words, there i no data that can be lost (except for receive addresses maybe?)
-
ullbeking
i killed it and restarted it, and it connected to the node it was on before. my wallet is now refreshed ok, it seems.
-
Bish
i made the same experiences as you, monejuro sucks ass, or rather the public nodes do
-
Bish
that's why i spawned up my own node, and it's much quicker like that
-
ullbeking
does it still hang/need restarting when you run your own node? in other words, it's possible that the problem is that monejuro doesn't handle connection blips very well?
-
Bish
i think it's not monejuro failing, but that bad performance of the public nodes
-
Bish
maybe the public nodes are very busy
-
Bish
i can try to tunnel you mine, if you'd like, but i need to figure out ssl then
-
ullbeking
it's not necessary, but thank you.
-
ullbeking
i'm still trying to learn monero and perhaps setting up my own node will be good experience.
-
Bish
long story short: monejuro works fine with your own node in local network
-
Bish
i think when you use docker setting up a node is a one liner
-
selsta
It is likely that some people setup public nodes that intentionally fail just for the sake of it. And to record IP addresses.
-
selsta
So using your own node is recommended, or a more "trusted" remote node.
-
ullbeking
thank you Bish and selsta for your advice
-
ullbeking
Bish: on a related topic, have you got experience in setting up TLS?
-
Bish
no, but i guess i just say "here be certificate"
-
Bish
for my local thing i deactivated ssl

doesn't matter, but i want a startup, which earns money :[

gingeropolous
people like to make money

donkeydonkey[m]
what area of things are you interested in? do you have some examples
-
xmrmatterbridge
<bobbyaxe21> Make a payment processor that is compatible with monero and allows for subscription services
-
Bish
well.. my current job is web developer, cloud and stuff
-
moneromooo
Take primo, and bundle it into an easy to use hosted thingie.
-
Bish
but what got me into computers 15+ years ago was hw-close, security stuff
-
moneromooo
And share revenue.
-
Bish
what is primo?
-
donkeydonkey[m]
<xmrmatterbridge "<bobbyaxe21> Make a payment proc"> im working on something like that for my vegetable see company
-
xmrmatterbridge
<bobbyaxe21> Vegetable see company?
-
moneromooo
Primo is software which uses monero mining to pay for access (eg, website access). See
repo.getmonero.org/selene/primo
-
donkeydonkey[m]
<xmrmatterbridge "<bobbyaxe21> Vegetable see compa"> i work with regional grower / breeders to get real food that tastes great and is not industrial. we contract local growers and pack seeds and sell online.
-
moneromooo
Using it alone is chicken and egg, so the way is to allow a user to mine instead of ads.
-
donkeydonkey[m]
saving seeds is breeding seeds
-
moneromooo
Most poeple get ads, unless/until they install the FF addon to mine instead.
-
Bish
donkeydonkey[m]: i wanted to pitch something like that, is it working well?
-
Bish
moneromooo: so it's a browserminer?
-
moneromooo
Yes.
-
Bish
well and how do i get installs?
-
Bish
browsermining only makes sense if people do it the whole day, it doesn't make sense for individual websites
-
donkeydonkey[m]
<Bish "donkeydonkey: i wanted to pitch "> just getting going with it. i prefer to code in TS with node and react. but i wrote my seed company software in Rails a few years ago, so im working on getting payments with monero in right now. having the rails server talk to the wallet RPC. going back and forth on designs a bit.
-
moneromooo
Installing the plugin's a bit annoying IIRC. Instructions are in the README, I believe.
-
moneromooo
Installing the web server's also in the README.
-
Bish
but how do you get people to install a browserminer on their pc?
-
Bish
you could go with botnets and stuff but i rather not go to jail
-
moneromooo
You link them to the README ?
-
Bish
which readme o_o
-
moneromooo
Or you make it easier, since it's really geared towards coders.
-
moneromooo
Alright, I think I'll give up now :)
-
Bish
;; no i wanna know
-
Bish
i still don't know what "primo" is
-
moneromooo
The Primo README
-
moneromooo
<@moneromooo> Primo is software which uses monero mining to pay for access (eg, website access). See
repo.getmonero.org/selene/primo
-
Bish
ahhhhh
-
Bish
that's interesting
-
Bish
can you explain a usecase though, why would i want this?
-
Bish
like.. i give website owners an api, which tells them which user pays their visit with a fee?
-
moneromooo
Example 1: you run medium or whatever, and offer people blog space. You put ads on that site. You can use primo to let people mine for you instead of ads. If they mined enough, you omit ads from their pages.
-
Bish
and then "forbid" to use advertisements?
-
Bish
hm, that's cool
-
Bish
okay, sold
-
Bish
maybe i'll
-
moneromooo
Example 2: you make a patreon style webiste. People register on it to receive donations. You run primo on the server, and people who want to donate select who they want to donate to, and donate in mining rather than by sending money.
-
Bish
yeah i had that exact same idea, when i got into monero though
-
Bish
something like flattr
-
Bish
if you consume art, you give them points
-
moneromooo
Example 3 (requires coding on the BT side): you make a bittorrent server which only serves people who mine for you.
-
Bish
and your mined money will get split between the "artists"
-
Bish
thats sounds like police will rape me
-
donkeydonkey[m]
<moneromooo "Example 2: you make a patreon st"> thats pretty rad
-
moneromooo
BT can be used for legal stuff. Like monero. In fact, the more legal stuff, the better
-
moneromooo
If it's not used for legal stuff, it loses its point.
-
moneromooo
Everyone needs privacy.
-
moneromooo
Well, me anyway.
-
moneromooo
So this means everyone :D
-
donkeydonkey[m]
privacy is not a crime
-
moneromooo
(yet)
-
artefact
bittorrent has no privacy. maybe it should die
-
Bish
yeah sure, people will download legfal stuff and pay for it with their cpu time
-
Bish
why didn't anyone write a completely anonymous bittorrent with built-in tor
-
Bish
because it's evil childporn foo?
-
donkeydonkey[m]
how much can really be generated in one users browser?
-
Bish
i've done browsermining successfully but it got to stressful and i got robbed ( still don't know how)
-
artefact
bittorrent over tor is very frowned upon. it's seen as a waste of limited resources
-
moneromooo
Well, it's what CDNs do. They have huge pipes etc, and people pay to get them to distribute their stuff.
-
moneromooo
Admittedly, it's distributors that pay, not users, so nevermind.
-
Bish
can you answer why nobody has created a completely anonymous bittorrent?
-
moneromooo
Me ? No idea. I don't know much about how it works internally.
-
Bish
well, bittorrent ist just, split a file and distribute it
-
Bish
and if you download you also upload
-
Bish
which brings you in legal trouble if you download the latest lego batman
-
Bish
if you would create a tor/bittorrent mix, where only those can join who mine
-
Bish
childpornusers would mine the hell out of your wallet
-
artefact
BT is a bit more complicated than that.
-
Bish
artefact: how so
-
artefact
"and if you download you also upload" -> no, that's up to clients
-
moneromooo
Maybe. But criminals can use anything.
-
Bish
artefact: well but that's not really complicated
-
moneromooo
So we get to find another system where micropayments can be used.
-
moneromooo
Paying tor exit nodes was another, but that might go under the same argument you just had.
-
artefact
you're forgetting the whole part that does peer discovery. it's far from trivial
-
Bish
well, yah okay
-
algo_max[m]

bauhauspen: only know that the coinbase and binance debit cards don't support monero...

thanks for the ideas
-
Bish
i won't get to it shortly, but maybe when im unemployed for a year or smth
-
Bish
who is the main-idea-giver of monero by the way, is it you moneromooo ?
-
donkeydonkey[m]
<bauhauspen[m] "I guess it makes sense to use an"> usdc?
-
moneromooo
If you mean who started it, it's a team of unknown people and CZ.
-
moneromooo
And Bytecoin, a massive but clever scam, was its first implementation.
-
Bish
what was scammy about that, i forgot
-
moneromooo
They had a huge premine (> 80% IIRC) and took steps to hide it.
-
Bish
well, is that scam, i don't know
-
moneromooo
It is.
-
Bish
if they try to hide it it's a bit mean, but i wouldn't say it's a scam
-
Bish
and karma will judge them
-
Bish
it's not worth a dime as a result, isn't that true?
-
needmoney90
They backdated their whitepaper, claimed they had been around for two years, premine 82% of the entire supply, and lied about it when confronted. The entire reason for existence, their investment thesis, public presence, marketing pushes, etc were all designed around duping the public into believing their lie.
-
needmoney90
There is zero question about whether they are scammers
-
hyc
CZ was one of the original devs, why did people still trust him with boolberry?
-
needmoney90
Please note the 'backdating the whitepaper' part, explicitly lying on their *whitepaper* about the creation date to mask the 82% premine
-
fluffypony
hyc: nobody knew he was one of the original devs
-
fluffypony
that only came out much later
-
hyc
ah
-
fluffypony
well, in fact, it was only SUSPECTED months down the line, like late 2014
-
fluffypony
and only confirmed in like 2016 finally
-
needmoney90
If you hear that the devs backdated their whitepaper to cover up an 82% premine in a supposed privacy coin, and subsequently defend that behavior as not scammy, you either have the critical thinking skills of a potato, or you're actively involved in the scam.
-
fluffypony
needmoney90: agreed
-
fluffypony
Bish: if you setup a company today with 80% of the shares in your name, but pretend that the company has existed for 4 years and the 80% is owned by a lot of people, and THEN try to sell the remaining 20% to inflate the value of your 80% that is fraudulent
-
asymptotically
lol boolberry and zano. dude needs to spend all of his riches on someone that can come up with a good name
-
Bish
well, but it's not a company is it
-
needmoney90
If I recall, they spun up a dozen projects with dumb names like morono in an attempt to drown out attention on us
-
» needmoney90 would devoice bish at this point if he was mod
-
Bish
oh sorry, my intention is not to maake you made, i didn't know you're that much involved
-
Bish
it's certainly not good behaviour
-
moneromooo
And I thought I was harsh sometimes :D
-
asymptotically
yeah, i think the goal was to make monero look like yet another forknote
-
needmoney90
The names were bad intentionally
-
needmoney90
I don't believe their initial plan was to actually continue developing any
-
moneromooo
Forknote came much later IIRC.
-
needmoney90
They even made a build-a-cryptonote site
-
needmoney90
So, if lying on your literal whitepaper to cover up an 82% premine isn't considered a scam to you, what exactly is?
-
needmoney90
Because that's so far over the line that it's ridiculous to see you defending it still
-
moneromooo
In fairness, he's not defending, just not agreeing.
-
moneromooo
ie, not convinced yet, but not convinced of the opposite either.
-
needmoney90
'it's not a company' does not feel like an argument made in good faith, when presented with the initial statement 'they backdated their whitepaper to cover up an 82% premine'
-
Bish
well, are coins actually considered property by any countries law?
-
needmoney90
Why does that matter
-
needmoney90
These people lied on their prospectus to potential investors, intentionally covering up a massive premeditated premine, and you're asking whether coins are considered property?
-
moneromooo
OK, looking for a technicality, I think you're right now ^_^
-
needmoney90
It was obvious from the moment he argued it wasn't a company, therefore....not a scam? I guess?
-
Bish
it does matter, because if you use official terms like "fraud" you should be talking aabout official things
-
Bish
if coins aren't official "things", it's out of context isn't it? i mean their fraud didn.t work did it?
-
moneromooo
I would not quite say it was. I mean, I often look for a counterargument to any argument, and if a metaphor seems to be to be too far to apply, I'll point it out. Doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong.
-
Bish
if i steal someones wallet by shouldersurfing, could anyone sue me for that?

-
kinghat[m]
you cant pay for fast downloads on i2p

Bish
yeah, but with realmoney, don't you?
-
kinghat[m]
no
-
Bish
well it's still a centralized service
-
Bish
i figure
-
kinghat[m]
i2p and BT !== centralized
-
needmoney90
Do you know the definition of fraud, bish?
-
needmoney90
I'm curious
-
needmoney90
Because it does not seem you do.
-
Bish
needmoney90: no i don't, and i think that will vary from country, also
-
selsta
i2p
-
needmoney90
Not legally.
-
needmoney90
The definition
-
needmoney90
In English
-
needmoney90
Fraud is a word
-
» selsta wrong window
-
needmoney90
Saying they are scammers and frauds is 100% accurate
-
needmoney90
Bytecoin is a scam, straight up, no caveats
-
needmoney90
The developers are frauds.
-
Bish
yeah i was on the legal trip, sure it is fraud in a non legal sense, i guess
-
needmoney90
Saying 'well they can't be prosecuted' as a defense to calling them scammers is defending their scamming.
-
needmoney90
It's not "I guess", there is zero ambiguity here
-

I know that guy all time talk s***about Monero.

He has setup nodes that drop transactions.
-
Bish
sorry i didn't know yu had that hard feelings about it, it's fraud!
-
selsta
Use Tor / I2P / VPN if you want to protect your IP address.
-
Bish
and i love monero
-
needmoney90
It's not a question of whether I have hard feelings
-
needmoney90
Call scammers scammers
-
Lovera[m]
<selsta "He has setup nodes that drop tra"> Mmm understand easy... that guy really hate Monero....
-
needmoney90
If I see people defending scammers, I will call them out for it. Scammers are bad.
-
selsta
FWIW even if he did not do this, it is likely that some other chainanalysis company / agency does the same
-
Bish
i don't defend them, i was just wondering
-
Bish
and as it looks to be their scam didnn't work, so why bother
-
» Bish ducks
-
selsta
though it did work
-
moneromooo
Every sucker who lost money to them... lost money.
-
moneromooo
So "didn't work" is pretty callous.
-
moneromooo
Now it's not like I have a list.
-
Bish
okay, as it seems i just have no clue and waste your time, sorry
-
Bish
thanks for the business-ideas
-
moneromooo
Good luck :)
-
moneromooo
(try not to make the implementation scammy by mistake :P)
-
Bish
i'd never scam (in that way)
-
Bish
like, openly say something which isn't true
-
Bish
may i call it "politician scam" ?
-
needmoney90
This isn't about politics, *They lied about their creation date in their whitepaper by **two years** to premine 82% of the future supply*
-
needmoney90
that is straight up fraudulent, not 'politics'
-
needmoney90
Why do you keep trying to minimize any sort of blame on blatant scammers? "Its not fraudulent, its just politician speak" is ridiculous
-
Bish
you keep saying you're not emotionally involved :D but in the last thing i said i didnn't minimize anything
-
Bish
i just called the way they scammed "political scammed" as neologism
-
Bish
as in, "saying something they can't keep up with"
-
needmoney90
I see you have the critical thinking skills of a potato.
-
needmoney90
Or are actively involved with the scammers :/
-
Bish
ohyeah, that must be it
-
needmoney90
one or the other, yes.
-
Bish
you got me

hyc
or the moral foundations of a turnip

needmoney90
I stand corrected, a third option has presented itself

lza_menace
nice watch, fluffypony
-
Bish
wtf, it was meant as a joke
-
Bish
can u chill
-
needmoney90
ah yes, attempting to defend or deflect blame from blatant scammers for nearly two hours now. Good joke man, you got me.
-
needmoney90
Really had me going there

hyc
oh, is it time to laugh now? almost missed that
-
Bish
whew, okay
-

needmoney90: i stoped like an hour ago, but you kept it going btw

i just tried to creat a funny name for that "kind" of scamming, im really sorry you didn't find it to be funny
-
moneromooo
That really looks like you've stopped :)
-
Bish
sorry, please don't hang me
-
Bish
wel.. he started again with "this isnt about politics blabla" like it wasn't obvious i wasn't serious
-
needmoney90
yes, clearly *I* am the one who keeps pushing the issue...
-
moneromooo
It was definitely non obvious, assuming you were.
-
Bish
i was serious about that fact that i would never do such a thing, but who on earth would call that political scam and mean it
-
Bish
either way, it's scam and i like monero.. can i say that?
-
moneromooo
oh ffs... time for /ignore
-
Bish
okay, i can't, wtf
-
Bish
too bad moneromooo really often helped me, thank you for that, in case you really ignored me
-
Bish
not yet
-
gingeropolous
the whitepaper lie is one thing. the fact that they shipped a deoptimized miner is much stronger evidence imo
-
gingeropolous
a deoptimized miner to support the 2 year backlog. and they thought they could be so tricky .... when its open source.
-
gingeropolous
like, they must've known the jig would be up at some point.
-
sgp_
they probably figured people would figure out too late
-

gingeropolous I consider the deoptimized miner and the 2-year premine to be equivalent, I was only going to bring it up if the premine was questioned (since it is the smoking gun)
-

though the backdated whitepaper is also a smoking gun
-
rehrar
lol what the heck?
-
gingeropolous
well, there's a smoking gun and then a confluence of facts, a preponderance of evidence.
-
needmoney90
rehrar hm?

does xmr.to have the 0.1 instant-sent-out limit because of double-spend?
-
gingeropolous
probably
-
Bish
is that a realistic threat?
-
gingeropolous
0.1 is quite a bit worth of bitcoin at this point aint it?
-
gingeropolous
double-spends are always a threat. thats why ppl wait for confirmations with larger txs
-
gingeropolous
even with the bitcorns
-
Bish
gingeropolous: that's why i ask, xmr.to is kinda quick

what do you mean by "there will be a response" sethsimmons?
-
sech1
Reddit response was enough imho
-
selsta
yea afaik debruyne will do a post on reddit once the new release is out
-
dEBRUYNE
The idea is just a brief reddit thread together with the release
-
dEBRUYNE
Just to explain what these nodes are/were doing, how users were impacted, and what mitigations are implemented
-
sech1
that "attack" and especcially the "attacker" don't deserve more than a reddit post
-
dEBRUYNE
sech1: yeah will be confined to reddit
-

I bet half of those published IPs are not the original sender nodes thanks to Dandelion++
-
dEBRUYNE
Hence my usage of 'potential' or 'possible'
-
sech1
even if Sybil attacks get 50% of incoming connections on each good node, it still leaves the other 50% for Dandelion++ to work with
-

I'm not sure though how exactly D++ works when tx is dropped in stem phase. Does the original node broadcast it again or is it the last node in the stem chain?
-

if it's the original node then dropping tx on spy nodes can be pretty efficient
-
moneromooo
The original node will broadcast it after a random timeout. As will anyone else that got it before it got dropped, if any.
-
sech1
so all nodes will broadcast it with random intervals, very smart
-
moneromooo
So whether the original node broadcasts it first depends on whether it picked a smaller timeout.
-
sech1
so even tx path can't be restored from that data
-
sech1
that gives plausible deniability for this kind of Sybil attack
-
sgp_
The shorter the response the better imo
-
sgp_
No serious person will pay attention to something that they can't verify
-
sech1
on the other hand, if attacker nodes see that only 1 node broadcasted the dropped tx after 3-4 minutes they can conclude it was that node
-
sech1
still it's impossible to match tx <-> IP for all transactions
