I'm just starting to learn Haveno. When you hover the cursor over the seller, all you get is a "Maker's onion address". I realize that the whole purpose of Haveno is for both buyers and sellers to be anonymous, but I'd be more likely to use the service if I recognized the name of a trusted seller from localmonero. I know several of them are trading on Haveno, but I can't tell who is who. So I guess I'm asking if there is a way to find the trusted seller's online moniker if they care to divulge it for the purpose of buyers being able to choose a seller based on their localmonero reputation.

Thanks for the update. https://lemmy.cafe/c/monero doesn't block Tor, but no one ever posts there except rottenwheel.

I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it's creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren't blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.

The issue with Majestic Bank has been that they'd advertise a certain conversion rate (e.g. XMR/USD), then jack that rate up significantly unbeknownst to you at the last second right before you hit send. Not sure if they still do that but they tried to do it to me (and others) once and I never used them again. I posted on r/monero about this a couple of years ago.

How can I not start tails-tor on OS startup? Tails is the OS. Do you mean don't connect to a network after Tails boots to the home screen?

Which Tails folder/directory would I run those 2 commands in?

I'm having the same problem using the Simplex App Image on Tails that I'm having with Retroshare. It won't connect to the network. All the more reason to have an XMRp2p trading community set up here on monero.town.

Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I'm close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says "Tor status: offline". But I'm not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.

This is a great idea. Thanks for taking the initiative Mr. Canary.

I see there is an Appimage available for Linux. Does it work with Tor?

It seems to use chatwoot.app. Even Cloudflare-protected websites let me through some of the time. Does VikXMR ever come here to comment? He seems like a pretty straight shooter.

Does Cake Pay Web block Tor exit nodes? I keep getting a pink error message that says "Use from this IP address is not allowed".I'm just checking it out for the first time at buy.cakepay.com and I've tried connecting unsuccessfully from multiple different Tor ip addresses. If so, doesn't this run contrary to their logstanding support of privacy and anonymity?

It's about time all the lies caught up to CZ. My only regret abot this is that he won't be SBF's cell mate.

I think this is a great suggestion.

Unfortunately, many cash by mail Monero sellers leave their contact info as a telegram address on their intro page. I wish they would all have to leave an protonmail email address or some other way to contact them using Tor.
