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.

    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)
