#Monero using #libertarian who loves computer networking, distributed systems, privacy tech, and testing beta software. I may not be a pro, but I can file a mean bug report. Donate Monero (XMR): https://kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/zzn3/ Annual Expenses: 59 XMR 42WimCbGoy5SVZfkr5YdwtAg9jvpxFfNXfBjM2CJAUZC9JNAKZ34hF6a35HJNXWyw1ctxhSKp4MjfgR3uT8Eneq4GCwtqTs https://smp15.simplex.im/a#P99yLk0Wm9o1qks_M4uuf5cTqz8mua9QhyaByz2gIR8
It's so beautiful being able to pay my #CloakedWireless phone bill with #Monero. All I had to do was click Add Wallet Funds, tell them the amount I wanted, and tap Monero, and they showed me a QR code generated by #BTCPay server and I was just able to click pay in wallet. About the only rough edge I see is that for whatever reason the QR code and payment information don't go away even after a confirmation has come in. So you don't get the QR code and payment details replaced with like a checkmark or something to let you know that it's gone through.
Oh nice. The #PeerTube mobile app now supports background playback. That was a huge blocker for me personally, as I background most of my videos and just listen to the audio only. Now it just needs to remember my speed preference so that I don't constantly have to switch it from 1.0 to 1.5 or 1.75. If they add the ability to remember my preferred sort order, that would make it even better than what YouTube can currently do. Because YouTube won't let me sort by most recent, for example.
#XMRBazaar now has 4x more listings than #MoneroMarket.io ever did. 8,000 vs 2,000. Another big difference is that a lot of those listings are priced directly in #Monero and therefore are making Monero more stable.
Well, i gave mom her new #MeshCore node yesterday as an early Mother's Day gift. It's good to see another node on the mesh. Currently, we both have our nodes in off-grid repeat mode until we can either put up some infrastructure ourselves somewhere, or we see somebody put up some infrastructure.
I have started a #MeshCore group on #SimpleX for those of us like myself who refuse to use fucking discord. Some of us actually care about keeping our privacy intact and not being surveilled all the damn time.
Hey, does anybody know if the proprietary app also uses these settings for the off-grid repeat? I've modified the power up to 22 and the coding rate to 4/8 from 4/5 to improve range because of having more error correction. But other than that, everything else is the default. I'm certainly not going to install the proprietary app to find out. #Meshcore image
Right, I am getting my mom a MeshPocket and after listing pros/cons she wants to go #MeshCore and honestly so do I. So I am going over to MeshCore. We will just use Off-grid Repeat until we eventually get infrastructure here.
Trying #Meshcore again with Meshcore-Open Alpha8 and firmware 1.15. Before I was having a problem where after several days my node would just not show up in the list unless I completely did a factory reset on the node and then I could see it again. So I'm going to see if that happens again now with the latest updates.
The #MoneroRun is great, but what would be even better is if you are unable to participate because you never have #Monero on exchanges to begin with. Not your keys, not your coins.
Moving my domain from Porkbun to IncogNET.io because porkbun changed their payment provider and only accept stables through WalletConnect. incogNET accepts #Monero directly via #BTCPay server. In the past, Porkbun accepted Bitcoin, and I was just able to do a swap from Monero to Bitcoin to pay my domain, but no more. I needed to move anyway so that I could support a provider that accepted Monero, and that just gave me the kick in the pants I needed to do so.
While this is cool, I feel still that final test was a failure because he had to borrow the infrastructure of the internet to accomplish it, and that infrastructure is centralized and can be taken down by an adversary. #Reticulum
