Make sure your wallet is up-to-date and pick a trusted community remote node like:

Edit: Removed the kyun node. Apparently it's not an official kyun node and ran by an anon.

It would greatly help if you would actually describe your project instead of having people search for your account on a different site.

We are running the standard lemmy software. The entropy doesn't actually improve after a certain amount of characters so I guess that's why they decided to put a limit on it.

Yes! That is possible, check out this guide. Pruned db is smaller but it will first do a full sync and then prune it so you still need enough storage for the "peak".

Raspberries lack physical AES instructions, I am not exaggerating when I say this could take 5-6 weeks to sync. There are other SBCs like the Rockpro 64 that would be way better suited for a node but the most economical option is getting used mini-pcs from ebay for $50.

It will have high RAM usage because it is constantly writing and reading during sync.

We are temporarily suspending monero.town signups while this is live to prevent airdrop hunters from joining. Non-local comments containing an address will also be removed. Known community members can still DM me on matrix to get approved.

The DDoS comes from exit nodes via clearnet so Tor PoW doesn't work, most likely there will be a total server migration at some point that adds tor support with pow and a tor friendly frontend.

I'll have a look, thank you!

Is this on by default after v1.5.0?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I've looked into alexandrite and photon before but to be honest, the install is quite messy since I didn't really know what I was doing back then. Makes it pretty hard to figure out how to properly set these up and I'd rather start over on a new server.

For the last couple of days we were offline due to a DDoS attack originating from Tor.

We are now behind cloudflare (💀) but at least we are online.

We might switch to a different CDN in the future.

Monero turns 10 today! 🥳

 

The proposal for Generalized Bulletproofs Security Proofs is now open for funding on the Monero Community Crowdfunding System.

GBPs would be used to replace Monero's Ring Signatures with Full-chain membership proofs.

Let's get this funded ASAP!

Hello guys.

In about 50 days the 1 year hosting runs out for the current server. Fitting, since it has only a 100 GB disk that can't easily be expanded and we currently take up about 40 GB of that.

There will be an announcement post once everything has been prepared for the migration and I'll attempt to restore the entire instance on the new server. Ideally the instance should come back up after minimal downtime and all the content remains exactly like it was before.

Consider joining the matrix channel to stay up to date even while the site is potentially down :)

 

For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:

I personally don't like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is "le bad" we might as well turn it off.

 

Here are the patchnotes :D

Since the old payment gateway kinda broke when we switched the hosting provider I’ve set up a new one :)

 

Please report if you encounter any issues. Since about a week ago, the monero payment gateway doesn't seem to work and while setting up and testing the site after the migration I've ran into the site not always loading but that could be related to DNS propagation and hopefully resolves itself in the next few hours.

 

To be honest, no idea what this entails. I was bullied into updating the instance and the official patchnotes are just all the github changes instead of a proper write-up 😂
