hi antidarknet
cool site and nice job stresstesting XMR. look forward to seeing more of your projects in the future!
Makes me wonder about other vulnerabilities there could be - particularly regarding dark markets, xmr escrow services etc.
regarding your point
Unless you’re criminal you shouldn’t be worried in any way.
A criminal is someone defined by the state as having broken a law. Likewise a legal action is one which happens to coincide with a state’s edict (law). but libertarian maximalists or anarchists wouldn’t agree. hence why you were called a bootlicker.
whilst it’s perfectly righteous to fight what you see as harmful, there’s an argument for freedom, particularly in the case of drugs where it is usually the user who is the only one at risk of harm (if we follow the harm principle rather than legal/illegal). yes the drug trade can harm too - but that could also be because it is ‘illegal’ and has to take place in a non-ideal marketplace.
that being said, I have my own limits as to what is moral so I agree that you should pursue yours. but I will do things that are illegal, and I encourage you to do so too. perhaps one day using monero will be ‘illegal’! </end philosophical sidebar>
i’m skeptical of this plan
good ep. will be interesting to see how this develops
and lol @ libertarians saying, “I never vote but I’ll vote trump if he promises to free ross”
also ddos attacks on multiple remaining exchanges - wizardswap, trocador among others in the last week.
some have suggested this corrals sites + services onto cloudflare as a chokepoint for future censorship.
however xmr keeps on ticking even despite mempool flooding last month.
I regularly run Haveno Reto, it’s max userbase is 10 but the average is about 8 online at any one time.
I don’t think that it’s a honeypot as it doesn’t make sense. The author argues that the main vulnerability is the manipulation of node selection - but users are free to self-host nodes and use any node, it’s not baked into the program. Anyone can set up a ‘malicious’’ Monero node anyhow. As others have mentioned it seems like the kid who wrote the diss track doesn’t really know what’s going on (was it Majestic?). Lastly, they end by saying they are a competitor - but they just stopped their work on a localmonero clone - and are leaving the community forever - but please share this post around. Something smells off. But we have to take each anonymous opinion semi-seriously in the internet apparently.
Besides all that, Haveno’s not used very much (yet?). There are a few trades offered but none in my jurisdiction. Perhaps this will grow with time, but as yet we aren’t seeing ‘mass adoption’ despite delisting and shutdowns of other p2p exchanges.
I’m more up for posting crypto > XMR trades but it’s not quite clear to me how ‘Instant’ crypto trades are settled, and there was a recent warning about unfulfilled instant crypto-xmr trades being punished. It would be nice to just post up liquidity with a small margin and have it be able to autocomplete trades whilst afk. A boy can dream!
If I were to make the case against Haveno it would be thus:
1.a. This means that I personally would want 100% backing of the deal in Haveno, which locks away someone’s xmr, an unappealing offer.
1.b. Even then we would depend on the fair arbitration to ensure the deal was finished. Fine for crypto trades within Haveno but cash by mail trades? It took localmonero/agora a long time to establish its reputation, and it is a tough job to arbitrate even with 2 benign actors.
2.b. The first username I saw of an arbitrator was on the aforementioned warning notice which (no shade) wasn’t written in the best English, I suspect English as 2nd language bu. Hopefully this improves.
tl;dr : despite being a decentralised p2p facility, Haveno Reto depends on good-faith in arbitrators and whilst it’s in beta it’s an easy target for fud.
jokes on you, you can’t buy monero on centralised exchanges!
hi majestic
isn’t it 16^2 ?
must have mixed up your site with another that had online privacy guides
sounds a bit paranoid to be fair
once again i don’t know majestic and have no interest.
but I know Tux is a solid guy, I trust his opinion. he’s also a busy guy - I don’t think there’s an international conspiracy paying random small-time accounts to occasionally bash the reputation of a dodgy exchange. or that the exchange is so good and unique that it attracts the ire of bigger powers, it seems very unlikely to me.
are you pro-majestic? if so, can you make an iron man case for the exchange?
once again, I don’t actually care about majestic but I’m interested that good info is being passed around the community - particularly at this pivotal era where exchanges are key
hey freedomtools. I’m a fan of your site btw.
just seemed funny.
what do you mean by
corruption ?
surely it’s fine to question players in the space, nay, interrogate to get a better idea of whats going on
I called out allark previously. tbh I don’t know majestic

does hardenedsteel not count?

maximum privacy and some compromises
care to explain?
and I love a good airdrop - just let my enter my phone number and drivers license into X to join, then I can get my gen 0 gems and finally convert them into Yats to cash in my skyhammers
THEN and only then will we achieve mass adoption.
nothing against fluffy
sad to see localmonero / agoradesk go
a stalwart in the community.
regarding the github proposal:

I’ve spoken to Alex. This will not happen.
Regarding alternatives, one trader mentioned bitvalve ( https://www.bitvalve.com/ ) which has p2p XMR trades [also I haven’t used the site, it could be a huge pot of honey so the onus is fully on you]
although right now it’s pretty sparse - the only bank xfer option is rupees but there’s quite a few paypal for example.
hoping haveno goes smooth, can’t wait for the XDEXs to reign supreme. will spin up a node & instance when it’s out of beta
