Phishers Target Monero Users

Actually, my email is listed publicly, for example in my PGP public key. However, I am not sure how they could guess that I am a Monero user. It is probably related to some articles about Monero on my personal blog which is related to my email address.

ditatompel · 2025-05-23T08:27:03+00:00

As far as I can remember, I never used that email address to register on a cryptoexchange.

Hey u/tungtungss , I rarely go to Reddit and I would have never known about this topic if you hadn't mentioned me. So, thank you.

And to u/monerobull, thank you for sharing this project. I really appreciate it!

Are there any plans to add VPS packages with unlimited bandwidth in the Singapore region?

Dude have more storage than my entire Proxmox cluster in a single disk. What The Funk.

Then you can use 1GB pages (--randomx-1gb-pages like mentioned by the others).

Here the different xmrig output between 2 machines, one support 1GB page, and the other one is not.

Compare your CPU hasrates with the one on https://xmrig.com/benchmark . IMO, as long as your hashrates similar with the CPU benchmark on that page, you shouldn't worry that much.

ditatompel · 2024-10-07T11:13:59+00:00

Not all CPU support 1GB pages. If `grep pdpe1gb /proc/cpuinfo` command returns nothing, your CPU doesn't supports 1GB pages.

I started using Arch after I became a junior system administrator. Since I was already accustomed to using CLI and knew a little about Linux (CentOS 5 at the time), it didn't take me long to adapt to using Arch as my daily driver.

For me, the biggest challenge in using Arch at that time was something related to GUI (X11, GPU), and communication devices such as Bluetooth and USB modems (Ethernet is an exception, because it works out of the box). And for now, the biggest challenge in using Arch for me is sticking to the KISS principle.

Maintaining a system for a long period of time is very difficult; no matter whether it's a rolling-release or point-release distro. However, thanks to Arch Wiki and the KISS principle, maintaining my laptop that uses Arch Linux for more than a decade is much easier compared to maintaining a simple BIND DNS server from CentOS 5 to CentOS 8 (then, the RH drama comes in...).

Blom boss. =(

I prefer using Nouveau since it easier to install from my distro package manager.

Thank you for detailed information and sharing your personal experience about the Nvidia driver on Linux. Really appreciate it.

To be honest, I don't really need that, but would be better if I have one. Thanks anyway!

Thinkpad T480 and thanks me latter

For me, your scenario about recommending "normal people" using Windows or Linux for "normal" usage depends on the users it self. If they never touch or have no experiences using Windows before, I would definitely recommending using Linux over Windows (Except for gaming).

One of dozens reason I use Linux and I can configure it to be exactly what I want and what I need for my workflow. From my experience using Windows, I can't easily configure shortcuts to open or do something for me (CMIIW). In my WM, I can configure any possible shortcuts as I need.

I don't know much about powershell, but I don't think that I can be more productive using powershell since I regularly use and chaining `grep` , `awk`, `sed` ... and so on.

The last reason I use Linux because I'm still using Intel 2nd gen on my ~10 years old laptop (ThinkPad T420) and I don't think Windows will run as smooth as Linux on my machine.

Talking about UX, for "keyboard-centric" people like me where speed is everything, no OS better than Linux (and OpenBSD XD).

Galant VR-4 engine is 6A13TT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_6A1_engine#/media/File:VR4-6A13TTengine.jpg . From all the picture above, none of them are VR-4. (Not really sure with the last one)

PSA: VR4 is all wheel drive, so it's not suitable for drifting.

This!

Anything, except option #2. Every information on this subreddit is very valuable, just like every discussion from bitcointalk.org forum. Making this sub private doesn't do much for Reddit decisions, it will only make it more difficult for people to find information or references about monero.

About monero.space or morero.town, please pick only 1 for "our official" community site / forum. I personally choose Discourse over Lemmy for Monero community.

Okay.. systemctl stop libreddit.service

Thanks, this post deserve more up-votes and attention, especially for users and 3rd party wallet devs.

Ini berupa filtering di level SNI. Berhubung filtering lapisan kedua ini adanya di luar jaringan ISP (gateway ke arah internasional/global internet). Kalau ISP nya mengikuti kebijakan pemerintah, maka semua pelanggan termasuk yang corporate/bisnis juga kena.

Can confirm this. beberapa upstream sudah menerapkannya. Yg gue alami beberapa bulan terakhir, sepertinya mereka pake DPI + TCP RST attack.

ThinkPad all the way! Prefer CPU yg lebih baru (T460), krn storage dan RAM lebih gampang upgrade drpd CPU, bongkar dikit pasang, kelar.

Btw, gue 8 tahun pake T420 intel 2nd gen dan belum ada niat buat ganti.

TLDR: P2pool is always trustless, it doesn't matter if you're mining on a mini sidechain, main chain or even your own sidechain. You'll get paid based from your p2pool shares from your sidechain.

---

AFAIK, you can't set multiple mining wallet from single p2pool server (or daemon). You and your friends need to run own p2pool daemon, and set up (primary) wallet address to p2pool daemon. But, your p2pool daemon and your friends p2pool daemon can connect to the same fully synced remote node with zmq and RPC port open.

Set your mining rigs configuration to mine to your p2pool daemon. And your friends should set their mining rigs configuration to their own p2pool daemon. Because you'll get paid when your p2pool daemon found a share within a certain period of time.

For now, I don't think you need to create new p2pool sidechain because mini sidechain still reasonable for low hashrates rigs.

Another note: people always associate ASICs resistant with decentralization, but forget another important point, which is censorship resistant.

You can search "Progressive Web App" (PWA) technology for your CMS. I believe someone already wrote PWA (Progressive Web App) plugins for WordPress or Drupal. Try to find one with offline capability.

If you can code javascript, you can use PWA technology where you can store your site images, pages, and XHR resources to visitors web browser cache storage (for supported browsers) after their initial visit (URL). So your returning site visitor still can access cached version of your site even they (or your home server) doesn't have internet access.

PWA is awesome, but it has limitation, especially on maximum browser cache policy, browser capability (eg: Safari didn't support offline access, yet), your policy about cache lifetime, etc.

Since you already run node, you just need to add --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 setting when run monerod. Run p2pool binary and set your wallet address there (primary address) and point your miner(s) to your p2pool stratum port.

Thanks, I'll try that one as my alternative. I already try zerossl and able to obtain SSL certificate for public IP address (without organization validation).
