Thanks for making this thread. I don't have any real criticism, just hoping for FCMPs and Serai to work out smoothly. Both of them are absolutely vital for Moneros future.

Verification
The provided hashes can be used to verify the JAR file inside the binary, NOT the Haveno installer:
- You can verify on Linux the jar file with:
sha256sum [PATH TO HAVENO APP]/lib/app/desktop-1.0.19-SNAPSHOT-all.jar\
The output need to match the value from the haveno-v1.0.19-linux-x86_64-SNAPSHOT-all.jar.SHA-256 file.
- You can verify on OSX the jar file with:
shasum -a256 [PATH TO HAVENO APP]/Haveno.app/Contents/app/desktop-1.0.19-SNAPSHOT-all.jar\
The output need to match the value from the haveno-v1.0.19-macos-SNAPSHOT-all.jar.SHA-256 file.
If you want to reproduce and verify the hash of the jar file locally, you need to do so on Windows or Linux using Java 21.0.6+7.0.LTS (Adopt-Hotspot) from https://github.com/adoptium/temurin21-binaries/releases and the v1.0.19 release tag. Because of the signing and notarization process that requires the developer certificate used for the build on macOS it is not possible to create the same jar on macOS.

Haveno is Live on Mainnet: How to Install
(monero.town)
What is Haveno?
Haveno is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading Monero (XMR) p2p. It offers a user-friendly, private, and secure way to trade without relying on centralized exchanges. Think of Haveno as a p2p Localmonero alternative.
Download Haveno
- Visit https://haveno-reto.com/ and download the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
- Some antivirus programs might flag Haveno due to the embedded Monero codebase. This is a false positive and happens because Monero code includes mining functionality. If you are concerned, review the source code on the Haveno-reto GitHub.
- If the software is blocked, you can add it as an exception or temporarily disable your antivirus during installation.
What is Haveno-Reto? Understanding the Network
You might be wondering, what’s the difference between Haveno and Haveno-Reto? Here’s a simple analogy:
- Haveno is the software.
- Haveno-Reto is the live p2p network you connect to for real trades on the mainnet (third-party, not by the Haveno devs).
Think of it like Minecraft: Minecraft is the software, while Hypixel is a server you connect to for multiplayer games. Similarly, Haveno is the software, and Haveno-Reto is the network where real trading happens.
Avoid Testnet Confusion
If you download the unconfigured client from the main Haveno-Dex GitHub repository, you’ll only connect to the Monero testnet. This means you won't be able to make real trades. To trade on the mainnet, make sure you're using the pre-configured Haveno-Reto client.
Haveno is live on mainnet and you can use it today but many people are still struggling to install it, mainly due to a lack of easily accessible information. This guide is supposed to address this.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this thread!
Most of the regulars are hanging out on matrix. There are actually a lot of exciting things in the pipeline: Monerokon, Haveno, Serai, FCMPs, etc.
People have said the current bullrun in general is boring and the excitement is nothing compared to the last one. And Monero isn't even participating in the current bullrun :P
No need for that. Sending your entire balance to your own wallet effectively resets the sync height. I did it for all my wallets after the last hardfork.
As long as a LLM doesn't run into a corner, making the same mistakes over and over again, it is magical to just paste some code, ask what's wrong with it and receiving a detailed explanation + fix. Even better is when you ask "now can you add this and this to it?" and it does.
The lobotomies will continue. Free models will keep getting better.
Good thing we don't have custom emojis on monero.town and the admin account isn't used for things outside of the local community :D
BotDefense was great. About 10% of mod activity on r/monero was done by it and with great accuracy too!
I'm weirded out by the fact that they offered a "lifetime" subscription for rather cheap. That's not something you do if you want to get indefinite funding for your video platform (hosting video is expensive).

Don't watch a single thing in the jellyfin library for weeks
Yeah, I guess so. Tbf I've already been watching less shows / movies in general for a while now.
I don't want to take away ressources from people who will look into Monero in the future :/
In the past I commented many explanations when people asked for help and I don't want someone to find a thread with a question and deleted comment with a "Thanks!" reply. I guess a script to change all my past comments into something along the lines of "Removed. In case this was a support-related comment, feel free to ask for help on monero.town" could work?
I'd love to turn the subreddit into a mere front to funnle new people onto lemmy or another community forum but I doubt the average user would enjoy that very much 😅 I think we will put it up to a vote, we also did one to determin if we should join the protest in the first place

Objectively, if used correctly, ZCash has better transaction privacy, at least until FCMP++ goes live with (probably) the next Monero hardfork. After FCMP++ goes live, no, Monero will be the objectively best privacy coin in all aspects.
In reality you have about 400 fully private ZCash transaction per day and 40.000 for Monero. You might literally be the only person making a Zcash transaction that day within a +100 mile radius, not much of a crowd to hide in.
There are many other factors like ZCassh having a CEO, dev fee, moonboy community and even their garbage tier mascot that make people prefer Monero.
