If anyone having this same problem finds their way here, this is the script to upgrade to Haveno Retoswap v. 1.1.0. Run it in regular Terminal, not Root Terminal right next to amnesia@amnesia:~$

It takes about 10 min to install and the Terminal looks like it's frozen during the install but it's not. Here's the script:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XMRZombie/haveno/refs/heads/tails/scripts/install_tails/haveno-install.sh && bash haveno-install.sh https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases/download/1.1.0/haveno-v1.1.0-linux-x86_64-installer.deb DAA24D878B8D36C90120A897CA02DAC12DAE2D0F

OK, accepted.

An attempt at solving the problem on one’s own is often of great value, a great way to learn, even if it’s unsuccessful

I agree, and perhaps I didn't emphasize it enough, but I tried every script I could think of before coming here.

Imho (quite) a few users ditched monero.town when they had started blocking Tor.

Yeah, and the blocks of Tor and VPN by Reddit are even worse. I HATE Reddit with a passion (censorship, bots, using our posts to train their AI and sell it to Google and now CQS which punishes you even for connecting in a non-AML/KYC way ) and wish the entire community would just migrate here or somewhere else. Too bad the Tor DDOS issue here can't be solved.

I didn't know there was a v1.1.0 released. Thanks, I'll check it out. At least someone around here is helpful.

I come here looking for help with the script and this is your response? Maybe this is why no one ever posts here. Newsflash you arrogant ass: there are lots of Tails users having trouble with v.1.0.19 right now because the github file has changed from deb.zip to an installer file. Changing out the version number in the sudo command has worked for me up until now but no longer. I've I've been using Tails for 8 years, do not like Qubes, and your disrespectful assumptions about me being some kind of schizo moron who needs to be spoonfed aren't appreciated. If you think it's strange to want to use Retoswap on Tails, you obviously know nothing about true Opsec. Nevermind, sorry I asked for help. Until now I thought you were a helpful and useful member of the Monero community. I'll just switch to openmonero.co and XMRglobal. And I'll say it again. If you want adoption of Retoswap by more than just a few, Retoswap shouldn’t make it mandatory to upgrade in order to trade until all of us in the privacy community are covered.

monerobull, can you help me with figuring out what's wrong with the script I've posted above so that I can download v1.0.19 onto Tails?

Another alternative is to use XMR to rent a phone number for receipt of a one time SMS verification code at a cost of $3-5. In the past, Google would not ask for a SMS verification code again after the creation of an account, but if you are worried that they might, you can also rent a phone number long term.

How does this work? Does the Google account you purchase come preverified (so no SMS phone # verification is required) and with a predetermined username and password?

How about fluffypony 2.0?

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.

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.
