Any Experiences with OnRamper in CakeWallet/Monero-dot-com Wallet?
I was trying out CakeWallet's XMR Only wallet and saw the buy options included direct Fiat-to-XMR via an integration called OnRamper.
Part of me feels like its too good to be true, and there has to be a catch somewhere. Has anyone ever used OnRamper, and how well did it work? Any issues with it?

Listening to some of the brain rotten takes by trannies online about "hidden trans allegory" in Fate makes me think of an earlier proto-form of the same horseshit..."feminist readings" of classic literature.
One case in point, I believe it was Pride & Prejudice where two female characters were declared to be "secretly lesbian" because they would always accompany each other when they left the house... ignoring the reality that 1800s upper class women would do this for social etiquette reasons (ie. one of them going out alone might fuel gossip and scandal about secret trysts or affairs, to say nothing of the danger of a young, wealthy woman going out alone).
Point is, when you divorce a story from its historical, authorial, or any other context and then cherry pick details to fit the conclusion you want to be true, you can "interpret" anything to mean anything...its a pointless fart sniffing exercise.
tl;dr: Saber from Fate isn't a trans allegory of anything, they just didn't want a hairy bearded old man standing across the male protagonist, duh.

The spam issue sucks balls to live through, but it is a very interesting case study...
What I'm experiencing personally is sporadic posts, each from a random account set up on a random instance. One post per account/instance. Even instance level blocking is completely useless against this.
Given how many instances there are out there, poorly maintained (if maintained at all) there's almost no way to prevent this. Unless the spammer finally exhausts the supply of instances, at which case the only effective action is to suddenly create a massive blocklist of dozens of minor Masto/Misskey instances.

@npub1vqz…kttk You're right, it is 22, not 20. Still, you'd think naturalization would have occurred around 2020, then, not 2022. I realize JGov bureaucracy isn't always timely or efficient, but I figured citizenship would be one area they'd be extra anal about.

The "Caroline Shiino"/"Karoline Sulak" situation raises several questions for me:
・The primary source on the "Saluk" surname is a Chinese website that afaik never cites thr source of the info. I'm not saying its wrong, but I am saying I don't trust the Chinese
https://www.singtao.ca/6538055/2024-01-23/news-2024日本小姐出爐！++「烏克蘭美女」奪冠+（多圖）/?variant=zh-cn
・According to official sources she became a naturalized Japanese citizen in 2022. But they also say sge was born in 1998 & lived in Japan since she was 5 (2003). As the child of at least one Japanese national, she should have automatically been considered a national from birth. In the event she had or was eligible for more than one nationality, she would have legally been required to choose one nationality at age 20 (2018). This is a pretty glaring inconsistency.

@npub1x5c…m07a @npub1ftj…pjju I'm actually still a Lightning novice myself. I'm using Alby (getalby.com) which is a web wallet. They have a browser extension too, but I don't use it... I plug into it via a smartphone app (Zeus) or just via web browser directly.
I know this is ungood, being custodial/hosted (Alby has my keys, and thus controls my coins) but its easier to start out with. If I wanted full self custody, I'd have to set up my own Lightning node and that has too big a time & resource cost for me to handle right now.
Personally, I think Alby is a fine starting point to figure out Lightning. You might not be a fan of web wallets, but if all you did was top it up to immediately spend, I think its a good enough compromise.
I'm afraid I don't know good desktop wallets for Lightning now, but I'll look into it & get back if I find any.

@npub1x5c…m07a @npub15vm…eqka I'm not a Wasabi user, full disclosure, but from what I've read both Samourai and Wasabi use CoinJoin for anonymity, just in different ways. I'm not sure how Wasabi's implementation is better, but a few years ago Wasabi made the news for blacklisting certain bitcoin addresses to "avoid trouble for the company":
https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/03/14/wasabi-wallets-coinjoin-coordinator-to-blacklist-certain-bitcoin-transactions/
They were probably scared of glowies kicking in their door, but it didn't earn them a lot of love. Samourai, afaik, has never opted to blacklist anyone. In purely practical terms, though, I don't think there's any reason not to use Wasabi. Make of that information what you will.

@npub1x5c…m07a @npub15vm…eqka If you just need a wallet to hold small amounts long enough to spend them, Andreas Schildbach's "Bitcoin Wallet" on FDroid is simple and good enough:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.schildbach.wallet/
If you're looking to hold BTC long term, Samourai Wallet or Sparrow Wallet are a bit more feature rich:
https://samouraiwallet.com/
https://www.sparrowwallet.com/
It's a good idea to use Mempool to keep track of network fees. If you send a transaction with too low a fee, it can get stuck for quite a long time before it's confirmed:
https://mempool.space/
The fees have been getting pretty crazy lately, which is a bit of an issue. But it's worth remembering that paying Medium or higher priority fees only matters if you absolutely need it to confirm promptly. If you're willing to wait hours, or a day, then lower fees are fine.

Your experience with prepaids may be different from mine... I practically live off them sometimes, though it's usually hooking them up to one of Japan's cashless pay apps as a kind of intermediary.

On January 24th, 2024, the Japanese translation of "Irreversible Damage" by Abigail Shrier was going to be published by Kadokawa. I say "was" because, predictably, the censorious, authoritarian trannies (but I repeat myself) browbeat Kadokawa into submission.
Almost immediately after the announcement of its upcoming publication, Kadokawa folded like wet cardboard and retracted its plans to release the book: https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/topics/10952/
>"Immediately after the publication announcement, we received a variety of opinions from many people regarding the contents of this book and the pros and cons of publishing it. We had planned to publish this book with the hope that it would serve as an opportunity for readers in Japan to deepen discussions through gender-related events in Europe and the United States, but the title and catchphrase may end up hurting those involved. We sincerely apologize for this."
The only reasonable conclusion to draw from this is that trannies don't want to deepen discussion on the topic of gender ideology, nor do they want discussion at all... only conformity and obedience.
This also proves, yet again, that Japan's highly collectivist, highly centralized society only makes it more fragile and vulnerable to the tactics employed by the censorious and authoritarian trans activist lobby. Kadokawa and the vanishingly small number of publishers in Japan decide what books are read and what ideas are talked about. They regularly work hand-in-glove with the government. They provide the single-points-of-failure that allow a few to dictate the terms to the many, and those points of failure have very clearly been captured (which, on a long enough timeline, is inevitable and the best argument against their existence).
I can only hope another publisher can pick up the translation. Failing that, I sincerely hope somebody leaks the text to the public. The information being in the public domain is more valuable and important than its commercial success, and anyone with access to the material would do well to understand that.

Schizo Theory: a bunch of angry tranny doxfags want to go after the maker of a popular incest/cannibal horror game for openly mocking their cancel brigades (note that the vast majority of the malding came from the pronouns-in-the-bio types rather than otherwise).
But they look back to the Pika/Hogwarts incident and its blowback, and realize they don't want to deal with that. So they adapt their tactics.
They find an anonymous imageboard that's as far away from them on the political compass as possible, but still plausible as a culprit, and dump the dox they dug up there. The goal of harassing their target is accomplished, and potential anger/blowback is redirected to a different target.
As an added bonus, those fooled by the sleight of hand further drive a wedge between groups that would otherwise find common cause against the Rainbow Mafia.
But that's just a theory. A Schizo Theory™

Okay, I can confirm that Gay Frog Metal Slug (aka Alex Jones' NWO Wars) is a browser game, the login/payment gate is just to access the embedded game player page. idk if it's HTML5 or Unity or some other shit, since it obviously isn't open source so it's all in a black box.
Hypothetical Question: if I had such a game playable in my browser window, how difficult would it be to extract the entire game and save a local copy of it?

An Announcement Regarding アノニマスの見解 PeerTube
(TL;DR - public registration is open, no video uploading tho, also you can use Lightning to log in and Zap and shit now)
In the process of testing the features of the Bitcoin Lightning plugin, I opened registrations on my PeerTube server. After some consideration, I decided to leave them open, but disable video uploading.
On the one hand, I realize I have some reasonably good hardware propping this thing up, and using it all for myself seems a bit wasteful. On the other hand, storage space isn't cheap, and if I let anybody upload willy nilly I'll run out of space and either have to expand storage beyond my financial ability to maintain it, or just have to shut down.
Still, even without uploads, having the ability to make an account and explore PeerTube's so-called "vidiverse" has some value, even if it's only to subscribe, comment, like, etc. So anybody who wants to check out PeerTube as a viewer, feel free to sign up.
I'm also in the process of testing out Bitcoin Lightning support, and I think I have Alby wallet logins and video Zap buttons working. It seems pretty tightly connected to Alby, though, so idk if other wallets/browser extensions/whatever will work. We'll see how it goes:
Standard account creation - https://peertube.anon-kenkai.com/signup
Alby/Lightning account creation - https://peertube.anon-kenkai.com/login
(select the "Alby authentication" button, and get back to me if you try and it doesn't work)

- reply

@npub1ftj…pjju Yeah, the whole thing seems to lean heavily on Alby's API to work, and even though it says that other Lightning plugins/clients/etc are supposed to work, I'm having some kind of problem having it even recognize the Client ID/Secret that I've very clearly input in settings.
I'm giving it this week, and if I can't get it working or figure it out by then, I'm writing it off as non-viable.

@npub1df0…7gmw @npub1uf6…d07h The existence of a tool like this would be extremely welcome. In my opinion, at least, but I'm sure a lot of other people would find it valuable once they discover it.

2023-11-12 12:38:24

@npub1ftj…pjju
I've installed the Lighting plugin, but I think the settings are fucked somehow. Can you check the Zap button under any video and see if it does anything for you, or just ends in an error?

2023-11-12 04:19:47

アノニマスの見解 Mitra has now upgraded to v2.3.0
One of the new features this time around is support for Bitcoin Lightning addresses in the profile, which correspondingly create a Lightning Tip button on the bottom of each post.

The Lightning Zap came through, I saw it in Zeus and in Alby when I logged in. Looks like it's just Nostros being buggy for me.

@npub1ftj…pjju Hey, I may be trying to test out some LN plugins with muh PeerTube server in the near term future. If I do, would you mind helping me test a couple things? Not today, maybe not even this weekend, but probably this month.
Mainly I want to try enabling login with lightning wallets, just to see if it works with standard registration remaining closed.

@npub1df0…7gmw @npub1uf6…d07h The integrated chat is part of it, but not the whole.
Multisig is usually pitched as a security or shared custody feature, but a niche I think is underserved here is the use of multisig for trustless escrow between individuals. Haveno's implementation is integrated too deeply into their exchange platform to be useful independently, and RINO is an enterprise service focused on shared custody, so neither is exactly fit for that purpose.
I talked about Nunchuk in a video last year:
https://peertube.anon-kenkai.com/w/bSyQSapGr7QUaXwiJHUPLV
I went into it in more detail there, but in a nutshell what I like about it is how it incorporates all the necessary tools for trustless escrow in one package. You can generate wallets collaboratively via the integrated chat, discuss the terms, fund the wallet, and disburse funds without needing to fumble between multiple tools.
Since my main focus is providing tools for artists, I can see how such a thing would be very useful for things like commission work. But it can certainly be used for other things too, of course. It's an otherwise purpose-neutral tool so it's easy for anybody to just pick it up and use it for whatever purpose they want.
Nunchuk is BTC only, and it can still be useful, but an XMR version would suit my needs even better.

2023-11-07 00:13:34

- reply

@npub1df0…7gmw @npub1uf6…d07h The only user-facing implementations I could find were Haveno (proposed) and RINO (existing), but both are tethered to their respective services, and not useful in a more general sense.
I'm just curious if the lack of GUI implementation has a reason (technical limitations etc), or if it's just never been attempted. Nunchuk's design is great for BTC multisig, and an XMR equivalent would be useful.

2023-11-06 04:58:55

Is An XMR Version of Nunchuk Wallet Technically Possible?
I've read about secret sharing as a means of doing multisig in Monero, and I know services like Haveno & RINO implement 2-of-3 wallets as a service (for exchange escrow and shared custody respectively). I'm interested in a different sort of implementation, one that doesn't rely on a third party host.
Nunchuk.io, for example, develops a BTC wallet that allows multiple users to collaboratively create multisig wallets & share custody of bitcoin. They can sign/approve transactions via an integrated messenger (which is third party hosted, but doesn't technically need to be afaik). This has multiple use cases, but it interests me primarily as a trustless escrow service between individuals.
As a non-programmer, I'm curious if anything about XMR secret sharing prevents the development of an equivalent application for Monero. Haveno and RINO have their own use cases, but I'd be more interested in something that can work between individual users without any third party company/service/platform.

Some Thoughts on SpendIt Finance
I was recently scrolling through Monerica (a very useful resource for XMR users, btw) and I ran across one of their sponsored additions... a service called SpendIt, hosted at https://spendit.finance
SpendIt advertises itself as "Your anonymous Visa prepaid card, funded by your crypto". It offers a service similar to several other outfits like Cake Pay Cards, CoinCards, etc. You send X amount of cryptocurrency Y, you gain access to a virtual prepaid credit card worth dollar value Z, and you spend it at the store of your choice (providing they don't require 3D Secure on transactions, which these kind of prepaids don't offer).
What struck me about SpendIt was how they allowed Visa prepaid card purchase with XMR and zero KYC. Bitcoin or USDT or some other transparent blockchain coin I'd understand, but it was surprising to me for any banking partner (in this case Pathward N.A. ) to sign off on giving anonymous credit cards to nameless internet ghosts sending dark money from out of the Phantom Zone.
I saw on their website that they had an affiliate program, so I decided to dig deeper. I asked some questions, assuming that surely their affiliates would need to provide some kind of ID, if only for payouts. To my further surprise, I was told that no ID was required, and that payout for affiliate earnings could actually be done in crypto. Which kind of crypto I'm not certain of, because I'd need to earn at least $50 worth before I could attempt a withdrawal.
(For the record, I do have an affiliate link from them now, and in theory I could use it to send customers their way and earn a cut. I'm not doing that... at least not yet, because I'm not convinced I fully trust this service).
"SpendIt" as a corporate entity is basically a ghost itself, that I can see. They claim to be a small startup headed by two people... "Martin" and "Louis", based out of France (even though their cards are in US dollars, and as far as I can tell are intended for US vendors primarily). Support emails from them were sent by a "Martin Leroux", who doesn't have any kind of history I can find in publicly available sources, save for a Reddit account with a 2 year posting history and some other account on a review site, just to list and claim ownership of his own business.
The bank, Pathward (formerly Metabank), has a bunch of ESG and Diversity shit on their site... not sure if just lip service or if they're whole hog into it, but it just makes this a bigger puzzle to me.
The utility of prepaid credit cards (as opposed to debit cards) is limited, I'll admit, so it's not as if this is a gaping hole in the financial system. But I have to ask myself how a business based out of the EU of all places can get away with this. If it's a legit startup flying by the seat of its pants, I can only assume some kind of regulatory hammer will come down on it eventually.
If it's a honeypot, though, I have to wonder what its creators could stand to gain from it. It's certainly true that an XMR prepaid Visa used to buy physical goods can be linked to an address via shipping records, but Stealth Addresses means even SpendIt wouldn't know the sender address of any XMR payments it receives, so there's not a lot of useful intel gained aside from "this person has Monero and is using it to buy stuff".
I'm holding on to this affiliate link to see if it pans out, and my concerns can be put to rest, but in the meantime... idk, I just want to keep an eye on these guys.

Looks like LBRY Inc. (the corporate entity) is finally closing down. Odysee will continue, but I have to wonder who'll be maintaining the code for the backend/protocol from now on. Odysee Inc. might fork and keep it in house, but the SEC might give them shit if they're too obvious about playing a shell game with their corporate structure.
Ultimately, running as a company inside the law was always a losing game.

I've always felt fond of Shadowchat, the noJS XMR superchat thing made by some anon over on Sourcehut:
・https://git.sr.ht/~anon_/shadowchat
So much so that I even commissioned a mascot character, "Shadowchan", which is used on my own Shadowchat server, as well as the JP language repo over on Gitgud:
・https://xmr.anon-kenkai.com
・https://gitgud.io/japananon/shadowchatjp
I was disappointed to see that Shadowchat wasn't being shared anywhere over on Monerica, and I thought it deserved to be. But I also thought it was a shame there wasn't anything a bit more colorful and presentable for the non-technical types. So I decided to do something about it:
https://www.shadowchat.app
This is the (very unofficial) promotional fan website for Shadowchat. It's not the best website in the world, but it's literally the best I could do. After creating it, I submitted it (and the original source) to Monerica in the hopes of giving it some love.
Also, while I was there I noticed some sneaky fuck actually got my own Shadowchat instance successfully listed on there, so thanks whoever did that.

Peertube Chat Plugin's latest version includes a ChatBot you can configure to react to commands or blurt messages every X minutes.
I absolutely want to play with it, but so far it doesn't seem to be showing up in the chat even when properly configured. I'll keep tinkering with it, I'm hopeful it can be made functional by Saturday.
