Agree. I also fell for it for about 3 months. The reason I hammer so hard on the communist deception is because a very large number of people have been duped by it. It has also been very destructive in recent history.
This poison was injected into state owned indoctrination camps known as modern universities, any critical thinker would ask themselves "why would the system be teaching me an ideology designed to overthrow the system".
Their main trick was duping ideological youth for fighting to increase state power under the guise of helping the working class. What the students did not realize was that the international banks own the state. So basically they were duped into fighting for the ones raping the working class.
nice, I hope they realize their whole ideology was founded by bankers and everything they fight for actually strengthens banker owned state centralized power and oppresses every individual
it is usually the young and naive that fall for communism, then after 5 or so years they realize they have been duped and enter the real world of no "free stuff"
for sure, I hope commies start using Monero, but reasoning with them is not possible
good luck getting reasons from communists, they are guided by emotions and feelings
The system actually likes data breaches because the criminal intel agencies can use all data then just blame the data breach if they get accused of something.

This is what happens when the market can innovate without the state mafia being able to stifle it, like they do with almost everything else.
Dumped my BTC a long time ago.
The state is too incompetent and lazy for that. That is only on TV shows. In reality they just wait until someone snitches or moves $10 million then they swoop in claiming they were "investigating" all along..
Great to see this effort being started. Hopefully we can test up to 1 million tx per day.
The dev was definitely ahead of their time with RS. The platform is pretty fun and engaging, as well as truly decentralized.
Looks like there already are thousands of people on retroshare one step removed from my connections, it appears to be a good audience to bring Monero to.
You should try it out, it is truly decentralized and anonymous unlike any so called "decentralized" platform you would access through a web browser. You actually participate in hosting the content.
It's about time, feels like there has been no significant improvement in speed in the last 10 years.
Created a monero town chatroom, try to join it.
Not a valid RS ID.
That is odd, the RS node is online. Can you post your RS ID so I can try to connect to you?
Monero and Tor are really old tech as well, but like Retroshare there is nothing like them around.

This may be a new attack tactic. By flooding the TX pool with large transactions they are trying to artificially jack up TX costs since the spam attack did not work.
As usual Monero will learn from this and improve. 👍 It is best to go through all this while Monero is still not a top world currency.

I noticed that the Monero chain compresses about 60%, would it be possible to compress blocks before sending them from a remote node to a syncing wallet thus saving a big chunk of bandwidth and time?
Does anyone know if this is already happening during sync, or if not why?
edit: this can be done using ssh tunnels, if you have ssh access to your remote server. The "-C" option enables compression.
ssh -C -NL 18089:localhost:18089 server_username@server_address
Now you can set your wallet to 127.0.0.1:18089 and now your wallet syncing should be faster, enjoy!

Monero is striving to be a currency that everyone can use, the growth of the blockchain is starting to hamper this goal IMO.
I think we should consider dropping blocks off of the chain tail once we reach block height of 4000000. This will give us 10 years of storage capacity, more than enough IMO.
Similar to how you have to exchange bills of cash once they get worn, you would simply churn your coins to get your outputs into younger blocks.
We are trying to be digital cash not an inheritance vault. If we had this feature from the start 99% of the community would agree with it.
Please consider this.🙂
*Edit: @4KB/tx * 100,000tx/day we are looking at ~400MB chain growth daily, this is not sustainable, let's take care of this now before it becomes a big problem
**Edit: A possible solution could be that nodes would have the option to set chain retention duration. So when syncing a new node you can select that you would like to retain 5 years of chain data, with a minimum boundary enforced that retains sufficient security. This way the network decides in a fair way how much chain data is useful to store.

This should really be a high priority service with dedicated admins.
If hosting fund raisers we need near 100% uptime.
Also using cloudflare is a bad idea as it centralizes web traffic.
