A little note about about this financial status report
  • Throne
    • it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
  • Cryptocurrencies
    • I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
    • It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
    • No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.

I would gladly send Monero [XMR] if you had the option.

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm. Let me check MetaMask for it.

Nope, MetaMask only supports Ethereum or derivates. I've used MyMonero for it.

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Check the post again, they added a monero option

Maybe I've already did? I have plausible deniability ;) The Monero blockchain is not transparent.

But for the sake of transparency, if the admins want to, they can post a monthly summary of XMR donations.

[-] samokosik@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

May I ask where the server is hosted?

[-] Filth@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is done. Via github if that is okay.

[-] admin@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Github is the best among these options

[-] BigMcLargeHuge@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

How would I donate via Ethereum or Monero? I've avoided all crypto.

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

It's about your platform. For instance I'm using Binance, so I click Receive, choose type of coin, enter address, choose network (for me always default one), send.

[-] mk_nsfw@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do you accept ETH on L2s? What about stablecoins?

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

I really don't know. I'm just using MetaMask for ETH. And not using stable coins because I don't know how to keep them locally, like MetaMask, MyMonero or XUMM. I really don't want to keep them on an exchange that has all my info.

[-] Matchbox2529@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure MetaMask supports USDC and USDT no? Stable coins can definitely be kept in a self-custody wallet like other ETH tokens.

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow looks like it really supports! So what should I share here for it? Is it same with ETH or what?

[-] bobbiguy2122@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Just subbed on Patreon! Question, are you holding off on upgrading the instance because of the issues with the search?

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I was waiting for captcha. But I'll upgrade today.

[-] bobbiguy2122@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

I can't see any comments on this thread , I think there's something really wrong with the update

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago
[-] bobbiguy2122@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

Also, I had to remake some posts in some of my communities, they were missing, like when you updated something's in the database for deleted or something

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

I really didn't changed nor deleted anything. Just updated the server. I wish I didn't did that, because it has some serious bugs.

[-] baconboy@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Didn’t know GitHub sponsors was a thing.

Neat.

(Also: new sponsor).

If I can make one request (not that I feel you should be in any way honored to follow it up or prioritize it):

The local blur policy/implementation is horrible.

I want to just scroll through content. Everytime I log in I must update the settings.

http://wefwef.app doesn’t even give me an option to adjust it.

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

We had local settings to auto expand, disable blur etc. but these settings has gone with the new update. I'm adding right now.

I'm not related to Wefwef or other apps, but you can try others like Mlem or Memmy.

[-] baconboy@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

Fully aware it’s unaffiliated, just that local settings was bad concept.

[-] yay@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. It's a cheap patch more than a feature. We have to modify lemmy, lemmy-ui, lemmy-js-client to achieve this feature to be able synchronise to server. @trusted_pizza@lemmynsfw.com made a pull request for this, but its still blocked.
