putting the text into quotes would make the context clearer. this way it sounds like you are part of the group that made the offer. without context, it's hard to understand who plays what role here.

interesting move, nevertheless.

got it. they managed to post it anyway.

does having a hidden service introduce the same issues?

are we having federation issues? or why did you repost it?

thank you very much, Rucknium. your understanding of my question was spot-on, and the R code works excellently! very useful.

I'd like to ask a few more questions:

  • is 314 a common seed in R, or just something you randomly picked?
  • in statistics in general, are there cases where n * 100000 random samples (any distribution) would be insufficient? is it a good rule of thumb?
 

I'm trying to arrive at the function that describes the following, but can't quite figure it out for multiple blocks. (there are some useful insights for a single block here.)

assume the Poisson point process that is the arrival of proof-of-work blocks on Monero. the mean of the block times is the target block time t (120 seconds).

also assume n subsequent blocks.

also assume p, the probability of n subsequent blocks having a mean block time less than or equal to T.

given t, n and p, how can I calculate T?

good point. FCMP++ will be an upgrade to the Monero protocol through a network upgrade. to realize the privacy benefits of it, you need a new addressing scheme. so far the scheme was planned to be Jamtis-RCT. Carrot is a separate addressing scheme to be used with FCMP++. nothing prevents the simultaneous use of both, and they look the same to outside observers. FCMP++ was basically "upgraded" by adding another potential addressing scheme to it.

this doesn't guarantee that both will be used. my guess would be that the industry will converge on one addressing scheme.

it is now. the Matrix came back online at 18:00 UTC.

 

edit: the Matrix is back now.


I'm hearing that Cypher Stack is working on bringing it back online. posting here for visibility, given that the weekly Monero Research Lab meeting is due in 10 minutes.

you can still join each room via IRC. see the address list here: https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/

Libera.chat's own web client: https://web.libera.chat/

not true. watch the leaked Chainalysis video (e.g. currently available at https://odysee.com/@nyxmr:d/chainalysis:f, may not be in the future). they did a lot of their correlations by running nodes and observing transactions that were directly submitted through those nodes.

run your own full node.

Tuta accepts Monero as payment.

do they directly take actual XMR, or do you mean that they sell vouchers to Proxy Store that Proxy Store then resells for XMR? as far as I know, it's the latter, and there is a huge difference between the two.

As you “have no time to look deeper into this” we will end the discussion here.

I find the questions you raise very useful, but this tone totally kills the ability to convince anyone.

I tend to think that the ability to simply switch to other servers with a few clicks/taps is a big improvement over the Signal model, where you're at the mercy of a single company. I agree that until community-run servers emerge (I don't know the progress on this) and people switch to those, SimpleX-the-company can perform a limited form of statistical surveillance. they can also defederate from any server (I suppose that's how they would carry out the "disruption" they mention in their terns of service), though that's something that every server can do.

is there a better architecture that can prevent this? if there is, we should look into that.

see what happens to cause it to recover.

this should set you up as a starter: https://www.liquity.org/blog/on-price-stability-of-liquity

I was under the impression that the oracle signal was on chain, from liquidity pools against other stables

that would mean that if even one of those stables dies, LUSD would destabilize too (and there would be no possibility of intervention, since that protocol is completely ossified). that's worse overall.

Maker was not immutable yet

I was talking about Chronicle, the oracle protocol that spun off from Maker.

basically that is never going to happen.

look at Maker's history, what's been promised, and what's been delivered. don't take it for granted that puredai will ever happen.

yeah, you created an account and posted this right after and nothing else. you must be totally not Majestic Bank yourself.

you ripped me off every time I used your service. you skewed the price in your favor by several percentages after my transaction was detected, while the trade was processing. I even corrected my calculation for price volatility during the trade, so you can't say "sorry, the market tanked while you were waiting". overall I usually ended up losing 4-5% compared to mid-market prices at the time of the first confirmation of my deposit. (for perspective, this was in times when XMR had good global liquidity and anything above 2.5% loss was basically a ripoff.)

the only remotely positive thing about you is that you pour a lot of money into Monero conference sponsorships. this self-advertising is the sole thing that keeps your reputation within the Monero community from going to zero.

your shitty practices ensured I will never trust you again. get lost.
