I am currently the sole admin. If a trusted community member wants to join me, they of course can but there really is not much to do besides approving new registrations and upgrading lemmy from time to time. In the case of me getting hit by a bus, decentralization is still given since federation with monero.town would work for at least a couple more months. Ideally, at some point in the future, the community moves away from federation to a properly decentralized system like nostr anyways.

Haveno-reto.com has plenty of links to different guides and most bisq documentation and principles carry over to haveno.

Decentralized reputation is not a thing. Every single approach can easily be gamed by scammers. Bisq2 requires people to buy thousands of $bsq for reputation.

That's even easier, just make an offer selling XMR for the fiat you want?

On haveno you have a multisig that makes sure you actually receive your Monero after paying instead of just getting scammed.

Reto has been working pretty well for me. Sure, startup can take a while but I've heard they are migrating all the seednodes to tor pow which should help with the ddos attacks.

And what is easier to take down, a website or a decentralized network of nodes?

Haveno is literally just a .exe you run. Looks like he wants a DEX with NO setup.

Just use Haveno to buy XMR directly, way cheaper and quicker than dealing with bisq and BTC transactions.

A little off-topic but I guess proton called Monero a shitcoin so it's a little tiny bit on topic ;)

Partially. For the Monero blockchain itself this is basically it but the spam also enabled them to withdraw funds ($300k) from darknet markets multiple times in a row, since their withdrawal systems didn't account for transactions being this delayed.

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. 
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](https://matrix.to/#/#monero.town:monero.social) to stay up to date even while the site is potentially down :)
[Patchnotes.](https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-01-22_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.3_-_A_Few_Bugfixes)
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](https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue) :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 😂
Shoutout to the pict-rs dev asonix for helping me with the migration ♥ https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs
Server showed as online on the hosting provider dashboard but it wasn't responding. After contacting support, this was fixed at some point. This led to a config file being reverted because of a setting I didn't change earlier which led to the page only showing "Server error." Everything should work again and in the future that config file shouldn't change by itself anymore. I still have no idea what the problem on the providers side was, let's hope it doesn't happen again :P
There is a lot we can do but it might become a bit spammy if we add too much. Some ideas would be: - Monero ecosystem releases (Monero, GUI, Haveno, Serai, etc) either in a special releases community or the regular Monero one - DarknetLive posts to the darknet community - Crypto news to the cryptocurrency community All of these feeds are of high quality and shouldn't completely spam us. #### What do you think? Any other suggestions?
#### Edit 2: This has been replaced with a bot that posts way more reliably, as well as locally to the instance. ~~#### Edit: This doesn't seem to work that well, will be upgraded soon.~~ ~~Posts made to r/Monero can now be seen on monero.town by subscribing to !monero@lemmit.online 🎉~~ geteilt von: https://lemmit.online/post/157129 > ##### This is an automated archive made by the [Lemmit Bot](https://lemmit.online/post/14692). > The original was posted on [/r/monero](https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/14w3vsc/test_post_that_is_supposed_to_get_mirrored_to/) by [/u/monerobull](https://old.reddit.com/u/monerobull) on 2023-07-10 19:36:45+00:00. > *** > If this works as planned, this post should show up in the feed of <https://monero.town/>, a monero-focused Lemmy instance. > > Comments made on either the reddit or Lemmy side don't get synced, just the post itself. > > If you can see this post on .town, congratulations, you don't have to visit reddit anymore 🥳 > >
xmrtown4e5hj3yivdimt27np24atr7dyd7savkk6of5mdlykret7igqd.onion This instance doesn't share its backend with monero.town, in fact, it runs on an entirely different (and way less reliable) server. Edit: Subscriptions aren't working since remote instances don't know where to send their posts (doesn't work with onion addresses). This means that only manually searched posts actually show up, making the whole instance pretty useless ._. ~~You can still view monero.town and the rest of the fediverse through federation. You can either put communities into the searchbar and subscribe to them (Example !monero@monero.town) or put entire links to posts from other instances into it to make them show up here.~~ Since this instance is on Tor, it can federate inwards (pull content from other lemmy servers) but CAN'T federate outwards (interacting with posts on other servers). You can still comment and vote but only people on this instance will be able to see this. You are essentially siloed with a one-way window into the outside world. For now, registration is open because I don't want to manage applications on two instances at once. Don't abuse this or it will be shut.

Here is [the changelog](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.18.1). This upgrade brings a ton of bugfixes and performance improvements. It also broke the nice custom theme we had 😅 I'll try to iron this out but for the time being we will change back to a default theme.
##### How do I participate on Lemmy instances outside my own? If it's already discovered (see the next section on that) you can go directly by URL in this format. https://yourlemmy.server/c/coolcommunity@coolserver.com or by searching for coolcommunity in the search bar. You will stay logged in with your home server this way but can vote, comment, post using your current identity on that other server meaning you don't need a separate account. Neat right? ##### Discovering: Hey I can't see [x] newly started community on my server! I can't find [y] popular community from my small server! What gives? (IMPORTANT) Some communities might not appear from All, until any logged in user of that server searches for it in the lemmy-ui (web) searchbar. For example, to "discover" coolcommunity @coolserver.com from instance yourlemmy.server, you would type "!coolcommunity@coolserver.com" within yourlemmy.server's search bar and wait 10 seconds. Ensure that community has at least one post that can sync, and even then it may take a while to actually appear in some cases. If you set the filter to "communities", enter the community in that format and press search and nothing happens, that means it is discovered. If it says No results, try again after 10 seconds, check that you have spelled and formatted correctly. That causes your server to "discover" it and will start syncing posts and be searchable and also available on apps like Jerboa. Only after it is discovered can you use a URL link to it in this format: https://yourlemmy.server/c/coolcommunity@coolserver.com I coined the term discovering here but in essence it's initiating federation and post-fetching from that community. ##### I signed up but nothing happened/Some notification came up but I missed it. What do I do next? This server has a manual approval process. Usually requests are approved within 30 minutes but it can take up to 12 hours to get approved. Try logging in after an hour, if it works you are successfully registered. You won't get any notification at all of your approval unless you inquire about your application through outside channels like the monero matrix rooms. ##### How do I find more communities? The communities page or [searching for communities](https://browse.feddit.de/). ##### Help! Why can't I see any/many posts and comments on an active thread? Check your Language settings. Select English, Undetermined and your native language(s) using Ctrl+Click in the webui. ##### Where are the "Hot" and Important posts on Lemmy? Whichever server you decide with, you can use the All page from the home of your server, sort by Hot, New, Active. Just keep in mind again, if your server has few "discovered" communities you won't see much outside your own server. Subscribe to major, active communities that you might be interested in then you can look in your "Subscribed" page as your feed for buzzing posts. ##### Statspage on number of Lemmy users etc.? Sure! [FediDB](https://fedidb.org/network/instance/monero.town), this page is also useful to find new servers to join. ##### Anything else I need to know? Please be careful with what you share on the internet. This should be common sense as even content on Reddit can be archived before deletion.
