An offer that’s on the book is on the book. If the person who made it wants to take it down they can. If it’s still there you can take it.

Of course they do. Not all of them, but they do. Just like grocery stores to 10% off stuff they want gone. If someone needs to sell fast, the best incentive is a little discount.

Letely, the price is going up but many of those offers may have been made a day ago or something.

Also, some people may be willing to take a little haircut to get the trade done fast. This is how price discovery works on an order book, spreads should get smaller as liquidity goes up

Yeah, I mean for remote nodes, running your own node all the time basically solves these problems.

Strong network effects wise, no. Price wise, no. Age wise, no. But tech wise, you’ve got firo, arrr, wownero. They’re not really competitors because of all the ways Monero dominates, but they could serve the purposes Monero serves as private money for people really well if people wanted to use them.

Well, the concept of a ban list seems ripe for abuse. We have to trust someone to tell us canonically who the bad nodes are, people can slap a fed honeypot node label on you for not going along with something.

What we need to do is design the system such that a bad node can do nothing but participate in the network. Just like the mining incentive structure with nakamoto consensus. Dandelion++ is supposed to do that, at least for everyone broadcasting their transactions only to initial nodes they know and trust. I don’t know how to do that, but a blacklist is a dangerous stopgap.

But with dandelion++ it should be infeasible to deduce anything about a transaction on receipt, no?

You could be right. Truth is they’ve been good participants in the community, I have no reason to believe they’re up to anything, but I am a cautious person, naturally suspicious even, as are most people drawn to XMR.

It is the most valuable that we have.

Man, let me ask you, are you a reto arbitrator? Not to question your motive, I just don’t know and am wondering why he would remove reto from haveno.com over an argument with you.

I understand the drama stems from real concerns. The guy isn’t exactly the easiest guy to get along with, but the same is true of many of the more brash personalities in the xmr world. He is being difficult as hell, that is not something I’m disputing.

(Edit: “difficult as hell” is an understatement. I’ve since learned more and this kewbit dude is jerking the community around and shouldn’t be trusted. Conspiracy theory confirmed, you’re right monerobull. The rest is left unedited because I still have concerns about monopolization of haveno liquidity and for record.)

You disagree, but it’s not the same as a separate Monero network, being an arbitrator on a haveno network is not permissionless. There might not be a centralized point in the reto network infrastructure wise, but the fact that the arbitrator set and haveno network fees are set by them means there’s an organizational centralization, just like bisq. I think it’s a great thing to have competition on that, is very important and that software that makes that less difficult for the user is needed.

I have always liked reto, have always been cautious in jumping to conclusions about them, you can find my small part of many discussions here, on the simplex group, reddit, nostr, always being clear headed about it and never calling them any names or telling people not to use reto. But this change to “retoswap”, you may be right that they don’t like kewbit and so are trying to distance themselves from the haveno name so that they don’t have to count on him, but calling my curiosity and concern a conspiracy theory, people in this community know very well that that term was created to shut down discussion. I don’t think it’s far fetched to say “the reto network currently has a de facto monopoly and would probably like to keep it that way.”

Swaps via Exolix. I use monerujo, but no thanks on that. Exolix is sketch af

Just use obtainium and begin to move away from app stores. Any git repository on any server (doesn’t have to be github, could be a gitlab, gitea or forgejo server) that does compiled APK releases for your hardware can be used as a source repo with obtainium, no need for all the overhead any of the app stores require.

Never heard of it, I will not use something not listed on kycnot.me, I’d guess a fly by night operation which usually is a very high risk proposition, I wouldn’t use it.

Dude quit trying to ascribe reasons. Nobody knows, we have pet theories, maybe they fit the empirically observed phenphenomena, maybe not. You see one too many news sites saying “bitcoin breaks 95k as fed reduces interest rates” and think there’s some formula or magic ball or insiders or something, every article like that is lies and paid propaganda. we don’t know.

We can deduce though, since XMR appears to fluctuate not entirely in lock step with bitcoin, that it’s short term demand changes are not for the same reasons, or by the same people, as bitcoin. My pet theory is that after spikes in btc and ETH and what not, people sell, and a lot of that gets moved through XMR to break the links. That’s been my hypothesis for a few years now for why xmr appears to spike in between bitcoin or ETH jumps, and so my mental model predicts that a spike in btc will often be followed by a spike in xmr, so it’s predictive and therefore should be empirically testable.

Ethical harms lol “might give investors pause” please, freeing people from enslavement is one of the most ethical things you can do.

I might take a look at it for you man, how soon do you need it done?

Why are you asking us our business man? Don’t you know we care about privacy??

I have a question: if your KYC checks are required by law and the result of automated risk prevention systems, how can you guarantee no KYC for monerujo users?

Stay strapped or get clapped kids. Learn the lesson the easy way.

It’s suicides. Almost 60% of gun deaths are suicides.

Gun deaths reached their last peak in the US around 1975. At that time the rate between homicide and suicide was about 50/50. So it’s not like suicides were very low with guns, guns are probably the most quick and effective way to kill yourself and if you want to be dead, using a gun is the gold standard. Still, from 50% to 60% is a very significant change. It’s also important to note, there is more variability in gun homicide than there is in suicide (though there is still a little bit of a positive correlation), so in times of low violent crime the disparity grows.
