One Monero

TLDR: Monero can be difficult to fully understand, but so was cash before you learned how to use it...

Getmonero.org LocalMonero (We know) Monero.com Hardware Wallets Light Wallets Blockheights Seed phrases Mining Pools/Solo/P2P Monerujo Cake MyMonero Feather Double-spends Confirmations/times Nodes - Local, remote, onion/tor Monero.town r/Monero CEX vs DEX Swaps News and media coverage Monero Events Newsletters Guides The list goes on and on...

I feel as if it is time that the community comes together, in whatever medium necessary, to create ONE, UNIFIED, authoritative resource location for all things Monero.

There's too many fragmented communities, forums, too many websites with bad or even dangerous information, fake miners, schemes, well you get the point.

I'm not saying any of the legit resources should go away, but there needs to be one repository for all the information and links that we as community members can all point a new user to, where they can learn everything there is to know all in one place.

onemonero.com (Because 1 XMR always equals 1 XMR)

Should include: Wallets - how they work, which ones are legitimate, differences and use cases. Hardware vs software, local vs web.

Mining - how to's, software links with explanations, hashrate calc, benchmark sites (and expectation of reality)

Transacting - Buying, selling, sending, receiving, how outputs combine, what are ring signatures, etc.

Community Links: to any legit communities (Reddit, Lemmy, Matrix, IRC, and wherever someone can ask for legitimate help.

We aren't doing ourselves any favors by staying in our own little corners.

Oh, you want to get into XMR? Thirty people will tell you 90 different ways to get from A to B.

Oh, hey, there's some Monero dudes on IRC, how do I get there?

Q: Which wallet should I use?
A: Depends on your use case, mobile, desktop, hardware, app, web, etc

How do I restore a wallet?

We see all these questions every week, and the answers are usually quite similar.

If everyone in MoneroLand was aware of, and trusted one site that had as much information as could be collected, verified, and audited, we could all point to that place.

I trust the comments will include links to popular Monero information sites. I always point folks to getmonero, but there are other places out there.

Who runs the site? Ideally it would be those who are already recognized as XMR contributors, not paid YouTubers. Invite the wallet devs/owners, invite community mods (not just Rddt), invite the web designers. We don't have to dox them, but they should be recognizable in their respective communities.

Where should it be hosted?

This part I don't know enough about to make a recommendation. I'd assume there should be clearnet, onion, and definitely mirrors of some kind. Redundancy built in so if one server goes down, shut down, etc the info is still accessible.

With the global pushback against Monero, and the worsening of legitimate search sites being poisoned by inaccurate AI results and sponsored links (ads), finding good information and help will become even harder.

It kills me every time someone posts about how they lost all their funds because "I clicked on this Google search result which turned out to be a scam wallet" or something similar.

Imagine how much XMR knowledge disappears if Reddit were to shut down.

We can, and should, do better.

The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there'd be a door or something.

So, this may be G-custom OS specific, or Android generally.

I was looking through the security settings, and when going to Settings-Security-More-Encryption and Credentials, I see that there are a plethora of CA Root certs installed. I recognize some (Digicert, Comodo, etc), but there are a lot that are just numbers and letters, and some from Beijing China, etc.

I don't recall ever installing ANY certs, so I suppose these are all preinstalled (they show under the System tab, not the User tab.)

Can they be installed by regular apps?

I disabled any that weren't recognizable like Amazon, Google, Digicert, and Comodo.

Are these dozens of other Certs necessary, and are they safe to be on my device? Are they preinstalled with G-Custom OS, or did they somehow sneak into my system settings?

I have too much to do a factory reset at this point and it would only be a last resort.

I also have Mullvad, Proton, and a personal WG vps on my phone, would those add certs to the "storage"?

I know I named brands in here but I'm not promoting anything, I don't want to break something making changes, that's all.

Thanks in advance.

I want to know what was running through the mind of the first guy who thought up mummies. Some guy just came along and said "You know what we need? Dead bodies to last longer! C'mon, who's with me?”

We might need them to still look good in case they DO reanimate, or maybe Picture Day in the afterlife?

I wonder how much time it took from the proof of concept to the first successful mummification? Trial and error and such. And how did they quantify a success? Dig them up every year to check?

Chromium (Cromite) - no sync of any kind. Otherwise, no complaints except the menu item bloat.

FF Stable - no about:config, comes with a ton of things that need turned off.

FF Beta/Nightly/Mull - has FFSync, but missing Chrome's rotate-to-fullscreen functionality.

All Android Browsers - too many menu items.

FF: Customize, What's New, Help, Addons should all be under Settings. Chromium also has full menu that mostly is never used. View Source on a mobile browser...really why?

It doesnt make much sense to have a movable toolbar if you still have to use both hands to get to the bookmarks button/menu. I'd be happy with either an organized, uncluttered menu, or one where certain items could be hidden/removed from the main menu.

Brave - I wish I could stick with them. Everything works and they have it all. Full non-Google sync, better video playback control, nicer UI, dual toolbars. I just can't with the way they operate, adding bad features and then saying oops every time.

How do we get the perfect browser?

In my mind, it looks like Cromite, has the internals of FF (gecko engine), FOSS, can rotate the phone into full screen video, with sync implemented. And of course all privacy settings setup like Mull.

Anyone else spot this unicorn?

Latest update to Gupax to include the latest version of P2Pool and XMRig.

Thanks to the Dev!

If you're seeing this for the first time, welcome! If you've been here since July, welcome back!

If you have friends still over on Reddit, please share this community with them. Not only has /R/ made a third-party ad-free experience impossible, the latest updates on the official app include more advertising and data collection.

Please, if you believe in the free exchange of ideas on the internet, bring as many people to Lemmy as you can.

"There's no content here..." Post something! Ask a question. Topic-related memes are okay. News, general interest, and questions related to the fraternity are also allowed.

This was a carryover from a comment made on reddit.

We're in the 21st century in the digital, instant information age. Membership overall is in a slow but steady decline. Combating that requires us to "get with the times" to a certain extent.

Email is not some passive, outdated, rarely checked form of communication. The corporate world uses email extensively. I've sent 6 emails from my couch already this morning, and I don't go to work until early afternoon.

We as a fraternity need to do better if we want to continue.

Email: If your lodge has an email address, is it an active account that can be checked by more than just the Secretary? Is your Secretary a tech-saavy brother, or a PM with 50 years in? Can you allow that tech guy to serve as the point of contact and coordinate with the Secty? Can that email account be set up to be accessed or forwarded to multiple officers? Does that email account have auto-response capability (We received your email, please be patient until our Officer can reach out to you).?

Websites: If your lodge is going to have a website, it needs to be a friendly domain. Younger people know the difference between "locallodge49.org" and "freewebsite.com/free/wedontknowwhatweredoing/lodge49.html"

Edit to add: website should have a mobile version/compatibility

Those Grand Lodge or Lodge finder websites with contact info from 2007 don't help. Keep that info current.

It needs to be up to date regularly. Have an events calendar with your stated schedule. Definitely needs a contact form that goes to the active email discussed above. Doesn't need to be extensive, but accurate and informative. Same with FB Pages. Set up Messaging with an auto-response that directs the prospect to your website or contact form.

Lodges that go dark for the summer (or whatever timeframe) should make that somewhat known. "We're on our Summer Break and return in the fall, expect a response in early September" would suffice if communications aren't replied to during that period.

Just ideas, mostly a rant.

Mods, please don't let this community turn into a lemmy support channel. There's probably 20 others.

How many of you are in any Appendant bodies / side orders? How many of you stayed Blue Lodge only?

And why?

Currently I am only involved in my local home lodge. Eventually I will explore the Scottish Rite (NMJ USA).

Does anyone know if there are any forks of Brave Browser (Android in particular) that have the Brave theming removed?

In short, I'd like the features of Brave, but I prefer the clean, no orange, interface of ungoogled chromium.

Second question: is it safe to block the constant update checks via DNS? I update everything manually anyway...

Back in my day, you had to know exactly how long, in minutes, three separate movies were in length to see if they'd fit on one cassette.

Recording VHS tapes was a unknowingly wild time in human history.
