Re-hypothecation ... leading to a situation where multiple claims exist on the same Bitcoin holdings.

effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.

They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) -- we'd need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren't we supposed to be delisted from this scam?

that is too bad.

What do I do with them

Use Home -> Add friend to add IDs. Seems you have done this already with the monerohub ID. You need more friends. Hang in while your node is syncing with the network in the background. Forum "Monero Town" is most active.

I am not in the business of rescuing the world. I you wanna do that, fine.

first you are wrong. and second, mobile users who dont read, dont research and post subito are of little help. Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus. Unfortunately there is an app for those.

 

Last week @tusker and myself have been busy setting up the infra on RetroShare.

You’ll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You’ll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.

BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN...

We are now open. You'll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You'll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.

BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN.

to get started with RetroShare d/l v 0.6.7 [emphasis: that is VERSION 0.6.7] [retroshare.cc/downloads][Appimage], start a Tor hidden node (when creating your ID use pull down menu: "Hidden node (over Tor)") and add all the above IDs as friends: [friend requests may be pending 1-2 days]

If friend is online it takes +10 min until your node is integrated into the p2p net. Integration greatly improves with further uptime and by adding more friends. Be patient and hang in.

Here is a list of places to visit (after waiting a long time these can be found by typing "Monero" in the search bar):

  • Monero Resources on RetroShare [Channel]

  • Monero [Board]

  • Monero Town [Board]

  • Monero Mining [Board]

  • Monero Memes [Board]

  • Monero Town [Forum]

  • Monero Memes [Channel]

  • Monero Market [Channel]

  • MoneroTown [Chat]

  • Haveno [Chat]

  • Retroshare [Chat]

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Trolls loose trust and therefore connections and can be banned/deleted on an individual level. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodes can be created.

Have Fun!


clean shutdown

RS needs to save sql databases on shutdown. Usually takes ~20s. RS posts to the console when complete. If killed by power-off db may be corrupted. Backup: ~/.retroshare contains all data (50-120MB)

The real issue is graph anal in social networks: You don't want to store all graph info all the time on all nodes. I want only my friends to know who i am. That's privacy. Technically RS can do that -- but you'll miss out on the fun factor.

[–] hfondmanager@monero.town 1 points 3 months ago

problems:

  • inherits full graph anal from BTC: but instead of money your complete private life is profiled

  • dev tax of 5% (concealed in docs): this is a scam if the token rises in value

[–] hfondmanager@monero.town 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Requirements for running a full node:

• Your computer has at least 50 GB empty space on your SSD

• Your computer has at least 2 GB free RAM

• Your internet speed is at least 10 Mb/sec


Sounds reasonable. Anybody here to do this ?

The control is statistical in nature. It is predictable that most ppl wont move to "selfhost or simply choose a different server". Privacy of metadata (sooner or later users can be identified) is lost anyway. To prevent users from "selfhost or simply choose a different server" marketing is used addressing, again, a vulnerable part of population plus technical hurdles (design choice). A small number of ppl (you?) will always escape control and manipulation.

If ppl choose the statistically centralized type of federated platform they should at least be aware of the trade-offs. Convenience vs. privacy/blacklisting. If there are only a handfull servers all controlled by the same companies its not even federated, its a marketing gag.

As you "have no time to look deeper into this" we will end the discussion here.

EDIT2: changed title to help AI

Federated matrix has become one of the most censored protocolls ever, despite being "decentralized and censorship resistant". Here is a discussion on the topic on our RS channel:


Matrix homeserver is blocking monero.social

Matrix is used heavily by devs and they reacted a bit nervous... https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2309

Although decentralized in theory, most of the landing and searching is done on the matrix.org homeserver. https://iv.datura.network/watch?v=W8KEuAEYjQ4 #Matrix - A Pit of Abuse with Government Ties If matrix is centralized enough by state agencies to enable graph anal


why use it at all?

They seem to use it for intelligence gathering.

we replace matrix with RS, then github once RS adds the function, a fully decentralized github, now that would be amazing :grin:

Now that would be awesome.

Sidenote: while in theory it is censorship resistant, in practice matrix.org is the only admin of the (automatically pulled) blocklist on github. The blocklist makes up +50% (!) of all content on matrix or +100,000 entries


according to the vid source.

Of course servers who dont pull the blocklist are facing hudge pressure because it can be inferred they are "hosting" pedo porn. How Monero got onto this list, i just dont know.... See u on Nostr ?

nostr is good, matrix is a good protocol in theory like you said, but the centralization to matrix.org renders it worthless.

btw 90% of all pedo porn is done by the feds in order to poison the well

i'd say 99% -> https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Pedophocracy The global elites are obssessed with violating and corrupting purity and innocent child. Their punishment in the afterlife will be like nothing that is even comphrehendable


censorship? there is an app for that. But it's not matrix.

Last week @tusker and myself have been busy setting up the infra on RetroShare. We're up 24/7 with +4 community nodes and +2000 network nodes.

We'd like to invite you to the 100% decentral Monero p2p experience!

The RetroShare ID to connect with is:

RetroShare is much more than a backup for centralized solutions. It is a self-organizing network, where malicious actors are marginalized by majority vote and eventually excluded.

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodegroups can be created, too.

The bright nodes are ON 24/7 (our own IDs) and the dark nodes are occasional visitors (1st degree separation). Any of +2000 nodes worldwide can be used to access public boards


In the boot phase we are invitation only. If you want to help testing reply here and get an invitation PM. Don't send me PMs from other lemmy instances


had to ban due to spam. PMs from monero.town are fine.
