And then switching from Matrix to nostr channels and from IRC to SimpleX private messaging
Great blog! does this have any benefit over a polyseed mnemonic where you also have a secret password? With polyseed as well as BIP39, even if your mnemonic is caught you can use that plain seed as a decoy that opens a fake wallet, while your real seed with your real funds can only be decrypted with the password, and this encrypted mnemonic by hand won't result in a valid seed so the malicious actor can assume that a valid seed still exists and it still needs to be seized or brute forced?
I think this method is better when using steganography combined since the mnemonic looks like a blob of nothing when reading the contents of the file, while if an actual seed was used it could reveal there is a Monero seed hidden in that file, but then I think a better encryption method can be used since using digital files loses the benefit of not using a computer?
And trocador.app released gift cards :D people must be gift card shopping, I hear there's many options available
You can compare the diffs like so: https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/compare/master...retoaccess1:haveno-reto:master but for extra security build the binaries yourself if their repo's changes look good or as expected from the Haveno setup documentation
ok no servers make sense, but choosing arbitrators is like choosing a server equivalent to a multisig wallet, there is "someone's computer" that will have the third key to resolve arbitration issues, and also can it read chat messages? if so networks should be picked with care, but of course trades can complete without it, but I was confused and called it "federation" for the fact they should be merged in the UI
I didn't read the docs yet but what do the "haveno networks" do, wouldn't it be beneficial to have a federated design? I.e. even if they don't interact directly, I as a user of both can list their orders, make trades on each on the same UI?
fwiw Open Collective still manages crypto funds/grants for projects, I just saw this recently: https://blog.orhun.dev/open-source-funding-with-ratatui/ the Ratatui project set up a Open Collective to handle donations from the "DRIPS network" crypto
edit: also just looked more at the blog's site and at the donation page Crypto only has Monero ;) https://donate.orhun.dev/ love it @orhun@fosstodon.org !
I think if you gave nostr a chance you would see some benefits even for those reasons, like you also get to be in contact with the people that maintain infrastructure (relay admins), some admins can require the payment of a fee or simply whitelist your pubkey to read/write notes, which creates "closed communities", but the difference from AP is you are able to have many different relays at the same time for your infrastructure, so you don't have a "single admin" that you may or may not like or trust that much, you can pick one or many at any time, or be your own
A little gift from Satoshi Nakamoto himself. What a nice guy
Also fun fact I just found out it's possible to use RSS feeds from the https://njump.me site, since that's how I prefer to read new items instead of using apps and scrolling feeds, so it may interest someone else just for reading someone's content on nostr on your favorite reader
Prerequisites
Installing Gentoo
nice. bookmarked it
Yes it is an Amethyst fork with a Monero wallet and support for tipping
