that is too bad.

What do I do with them

Use Home -> Add friend to add IDs. Seems you have done this already with the monerohub ID. You need more friends. Hang in while your node is syncing with the network in the background. Forum “Monero Town” is most active.

:sad:

I am not in the business of rescuing the world. I you wanna do that, fine.

first you are wrong. and second, mobile users who dont read, dont research and post subito are of little help. Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus. Unfortunately there is an app for those.

We are now open. You’ll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You’ll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.

BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN.

to get started with RetroShare d/l v 0.6.7 [emphasis: that is VERSION 0.6.7] [retroshare.cc/downloads][Appimage], start a Tor hidden node (when creating your ID use pull down menu: “Hidden node (over Tor)”) and add all the above IDs as friends: [friend requests may be pending 1-2 days]

If friend is online it takes +10 min until your node is integrated into the p2p net. Integration greatly improves with further uptime and by adding more friends. Be patient and hang in.

Here is a list of places to visit (after waiting a long time these can be found by typing “Monero” in the search bar):

• Monero Resources on RetroShare [Channel]

• Monero [Board]

• Monero Town [Board]

• Monero Mining [Board]

• Monero Memes [Board]

• Monero Town [Forum]

• Monero Memes [Channel]

• Monero Market [Channel]

• MoneroTown [Chat]

• Haveno [Chat]

• Retroshare [Chat]

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Trolls loose trust and therefore connections and can be banned/deleted on an individual level. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodes can be created.

Have Fun!

clean shutdown

RS needs to save sql databases on shutdown. Usually takes ~20s. RS posts to the console when complete. If killed by power-off db may be corrupted. Backup: ~/.retroshare contains all data (50-120MB)

The real issue is graph anal in social networks: You don’t want to store all graph info all the time on all nodes. I want only my friends to know who i am. That’s privacy. Technically RS can do that – but you’ll miss out on the fun factor.

Psychopaths . You didnt read.

The control is statistical in nature. It is predictable that most ppl wont move to “selfhost or simply choose a different server”. Privacy of metadata (sooner or later users can be identified) is lost anyway. To prevent users from “selfhost or simply choose a different server” marketing is used addressing, again, a vulnerable part of population plus technical hurdles (design choice). A small number of ppl (you?) will always escape control and manipulation.

If ppl choose the statistically centralized type of federated platform they should at least be aware of the trade-offs. Convenience vs. privacy/blacklisting. If there are only a handfull servers all controlled by the same companies its not even federated, its a marketing gag.

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

simplex TOS:

We reserve the right to remove such links from the preset servers and disrupt the conversations that send illegal content via our servers, whether they were reported by the users or discovered by our team.

Poberezkin is DOA. Dont’t try to simplify your privacy by using federated platforms. You will be pawned.

do you really want this guy in your kitchen?

“p2p was DOA”

sucker.

I sent you a PM.

I think he wanted to point towards agorism

We already missed you. Where have you been 😂

works fine today. my inet cx is sometimes shaky, sometimes non-existent. i’ll come back later.

They claim it’s to thwart pedos and hate speech.

But let’s not get it twisted, it is about monitoring and controlling the money supply. They want us on their system, not our own system.

this looked like a chatroom [=meeting] but nobody there… or should i use it to send you a offline message ?

wizardswgtu2ovor7r2esg3cxdpt7tv4nrugi32lldv53zmtonbz6sid.onion # draws liquidity upon users wallets from localparticl.com

I loved it. Its one of the few alternatives to commercial swappers. .onion was under flooding (ddos) attack though. 2.2% slippage. The code is based on BSX (basic swap dex) AFAIK. Used small amounts. Else, Haveno recommended, but be prepared for higher slippage.

tx. seems to work. *** [hidden] is now Online: xmpp:[email protected]?join

Edit: meeting time?

There is even a more political answer. To resist indoctrination the most powerful way is to organize. Organization is difficult even under best of circumstances these days. F2F networks may be an option.
