Hi

I documented myself about Monero and it seem really great !

I would like to start my own node but obviously before I have some questions and I would like to exchange about it.

Like lemmy is still "marginal" but growing, the community's are still low, so I went on the official website of Monero but I see that they only propose linear chat services that require that you identify yourself ! or belong to GAFAM and that goes quite to the opposite of what Monero fight for to preserve your right to anonymity.

Do you know a crowded lemmy community where I could exchange with other Monero enthusiasts or anything else that is a like a built-in board forum where when you have a question you can open a dedicated thread and exchange on that thread ?

Thanks.

Hey there, feel free to ask your questions here.

For your Monero node, you can have a look at this: https://www.monero.how/how-to-run-monero-node

Nostr has a fair amount of active keys discussing Monero daily, but it's not lemmy or exactly board forum style

Thanks @iloveDigit@piefed.social I didn't know about Nostr so I've dig a little bit, it seem a decentralized protocol, but do not focus on privacy like Tor https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/how-nostr-can-improve-bitcoin-privacy

Yeah, I keep telling nostr devs we need a Tor frontend without JavaScript. I'm maybe on schedule to get that solved after like another year if existing devs keep refusing for that long. I hope someone beats me to it, since I'm not a dev and it should be done by now.

I think some stuff has changed since that article at least, like Android users can use Tor in the Amethyst app now

On an anonymous and private messenger https://getsession.org/ is a Monero community https://session.directory/view_session_group_user_lokinet.php?id=2785 , even it is not crowded, but you will be likely replied daily.

Thanks @hetzlemmingsworld@lemmings.world But sadly I don't use session as it's not a secure IM app. ( dig in Lemmy you will see ) For my part I use now SimpleX

Wrong, it is a secure app. There has been no reproducible proof to the contrary. Most often people says it does not support PFS, but "PFS is only relevant in the case where your long term private key is obtained by the attacker. The only way this should occur is if the attacker has access to your device/seed" It would take a whole Bitcoin network billions of years to break just single user encryption, per my understanding.

Hi all,

Like I didn't found anything that fitted my need , I created https://monero.freeflarum.com/ ! Feel free to pass to word around, you can connect with Tor and you can provide dummy e-mail.
