Datura Network - Public Monero Nodes List

Hi all, i'm running a public list of monero nodes on https://xmr.datura.network, feel free to use it if you need to synchronize your monero wallets with a remote monero node. (the original service is from https://monero.fail )

sidenote: only manual registrations for new nodes, feel free to send them to me over mail / matrix

Stressnet First Week Report
  • congrats guys, keep up the good work. people out there feel free to contribute a stressnet node

  • Concerned about my friend who’s a Bitcoin maxi
  • The main point is that bitcoin won't have any value when your country reduces your right to privacy to nothing with a CBDC, digital ID, and social credit score. Bitcoin will just be another surveillance tool to them. Besides, nobody is not using btc anyway, it's just used to swap it to monero lol

  • All majesticbank scams & lies.
  • lesson to remember: don't pay developers up-front, place bounties, and pay them only once they finish their work

  • Haveno Reto v1.0.6
  • based, next step set up your own apt repository for easier upgrades for linux users and it's going to be top notch ;)

  • How To Encrypt Your Mnemonic Seed Without A Computer/Internet
  • yea thats the point of having a decoy volume, you claim that the hidden one doesnt exist and that you gave the password. it remains possible until the adversary is able to prove that the hidden volume exists.

  • Haveno DEX - Cash by Mail -> XMR transactions
  • created this issue to address the buyers that start with 0 XMR https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/963 but keep in mind that a reputation system might not lead anywhere here, thats why there is the security deposit system instead.

    And the buyer has to register a name and physical address? I realize these can be faked but I don’t think I like that being stored digitally as opposed to just being written on the return address of an anonymously printed shipping label as it was with local monero.

    yea the proper documentation for each trade protocol has yet to be written, so this might change in the future

  • Haveno DEX - Cash by Mail -> XMR transactions
  • haveno might copy bisq to help users get that initial monero initially in a matrix chatroom, but thats still in discussion

  • How To Encrypt Your Mnemonic Seed Without A Computer/Internet
  • i like the intention, but simple encryption is not going to cut it, you need to be able to deny the existance of the encrypted volume: https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/encryption/index.html what you're looking for is plausible deniability. in short, hide your mnemonic seed into a veracrypt hidden volume

    > In this tutorial we're going to cover how to buy Monero, for cash by mail on the Haveno Decentralised Exchange. This was the most popular payment method back on LocalMonero, due to being an improvement over bank transfers (like SEPA in the EU) when it comes to trading larger volumes in the long run, as Cash cannot easily be traced by adversaries unlike bank transfers, making Cash by Mail one of the most private ways to exchange real world money for Monero. > > https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-cashbymail/index.html > > Let me know if there's anything i missed in that tutorial :)

    [Philo] What I learned from Monero community
  • probably meant "monero is what bitcoin was meant to be"

  • Tutorial: Haveno DEX Bank Transfer (ex: SEPA) -> XMR transaction

    cross-posted from: https://monero.town/post/3237698

    > In this tutorial we're going to cover an instant SEPA transfer (which is a bank transfer) transaction for monero, this is one of the most popular payment options in the EU region. Instant SEPA was a personal favorite of mine back on the now defunct Localmonero, mainly due to the speed of the transanction, the only requirement being that the other peer has a bank account that supports instant SEPA transfers. > > https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-sepa/index.html > > check it out ;)

    Haveno Decentralised Exchange Dispute resolution (Fiat -> XMR)
  • yea as mentionned, there are a ton of difficult possible arbitration scenarios, i think there is a clear need to :

    1. list the payment options (like bisq did on this page here https://bisq.wiki/Payment_methods)
    2. detail each payment option with the correct trade protocol (which includes the precautions to PROVE that you conducted the trade correctly for the arbitrators (see localmonero's tips on cash by mail for example https://localmonero.co/cash-by-mail-tips )), the risks of the trade going wrong, and what to do in each case.

    I opened up https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/944 just now for the same

  • Haveno Decentralised Exchange Dispute resolution (Fiat -> XMR)
  • yea but if all the arbitrators are corrupt on the network side, no matter how many you put on the arbitration the outcome wouldnt really change right ?

  • Haveno Decentralised Exchange Dispute resolution (Fiat -> XMR)
  • to that i would reply, that the arbitrators better be honest and behave correctly because the reputation of their network (ex:reto) is at stake, and yea definitely could be a good idea to have an external rating service, so that over time the scammy haveno networks are called out, and people avoid them

  • Haveno Decentralised Exchange Dispute resolution (Fiat -> XMR)

    In this tutorial we're going to cover how the Haveno DEX handles trade disputes, which can happen as, after all it's decentralised, and anonymous by default.

    feel free to let me know if i should improve something in this one :)

    Revuo Monero Issue 195 - Weekly newsletter
  • thanks for linking my tutorial in there ;)

  • Tutorial: Haveno DEX Face-to-Face Fiat to Monero transactions
  • It's on my todolist yes, i'll try to showcase a dispute with abitrator resolution, a SEPA instant transaction, and also the popular cash in mail

  • Tutorial: Haveno DEX Face-to-Face Fiat to Monero transactions
  • yeah that's the chicken in egg problem that got ported over from bisq. Thing is that initial monero is required to make sure there's an incentive to not scam the other peer and same from their end.

  • Tutorial: Haveno DEX Face-to-Face Fiat to Monero transactions

    In this tutorial I cover how to do a Fiat to Monero trade from the brand new (and long awaited!) Haveno Decentralised Exchange, using the Face-to-Face (F2F) payment method.

    using the Haveno Reto Network, feel free to drop in some feedback if you think i can improve that tutorial :) https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-client-f2f/index.html
