In this tutorial we're going to take a look at how you can contribute to an existing Haveno Network, by running a Seed Node, in order to make the Haveno Network of your choice more resillient to potential takedowns.

https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/haveno-seednode/index.html

Disclaimer: I am not running any seednodes for any Haveno Network, this is only to showcase how it works for whoever wants to run a seednode. Obviously you don't want to get the TornadoCash treatment by publicly announcing that you are helping with the infrastructure for an exchange with your public identity since this is potentially sensitive use. Therefore make sure you remain Anonymous (meaning you use a disposable identity) when saying that you are running a haveno seed node.

good news that it's already available: https://haveno-reto Decentralised Exchange P2P fiat to monero directly. I wrote some tutorials on how to use it, if you need help on that

seems OK to me currently

Hi, you no longer need to go through any other crypto nor any centralised exchange to get your monero. just transact P2P, fiat to monero directly, on the Haveno reto decentralised exchange https://haveno-reto.com/ i wrote guides on how to use it. Centralised exchanges may force you to KYC yourself, so screw them.

there's also xmrbazaar.com too in the earn XMR section

there are other options out there yeah, to decentralize further i'd recommend them spinning up their own gitea. but if they can maintain their anonymity while using github, in the end both roads lead to rome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

as long as the reto owners are maintaining their anonymity while accessing github, it's all good. (at least keeping Tor in between themselves and the git platform) and of course not kycing themselves through their actions

by the way, check out my blogpost on that topic https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/chainalysisattempts/index.html, with my opsec recommendations

very nice, keep up the good work guys

TLDW :

  1. do not trust random nodes, go and host your own (locally or not) -> to prevent them from logging ip addresses and to deanonymize on the IP level (attacking dandelion from what i understand ?)
  2. if you do end up using a remote node, connect to it through tor to maintain anonymity
  3. Stay off centralised exchanges, never KYC.

Nah that's easy too. you need to make sure the developers use PGP keys to confirm their identity. https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/pgp/index.html + https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/whonixqemuvms/index.html

but yeah the idea is to have a Disaster recovery plan, kind of idea, totally makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

it's not complicated, make sure that anonymity is maintained for all developers (like they do all their work from inside a whonix VM let's say), and that you have copies of all the important monero mirrors somewhere (on a gitea instance accessible via .onion or something similar), in case if monero gets the tornadocash treatment.

that way they can't go after the developers' freedom of speech, and even if they take the repositories down from github, the show can go on elsewhere.

i'll pitch in to advise people if opsec is brought up

haveno is in early stages anyway, but yea the more noob friendly it becomes, the better. Something is """hard""" to install when you do not explain how to install it properly.

Currently there's a way to install it on every OS, that's good enough for now. Also keep in mind that there aren't 20 dedicated developers working on haveno fulltime, you can't have everything at once with a small team of developers

Hi all, i'm running a public list of monero nodes on https://xmr.datura.network, feel free to use it if you need to synchronize your monero wallets with a remote monero node. (the original service is from https://monero.fail )

sidenote: only manual registrations for new nodes, feel free to send them to me over mail / matrix

In this tutorial we're going to cover how to buy Monero, for cash by mail on the Haveno Decentralised Exchange. This was the most popular payment method back on LocalMonero, due to being an improvement over bank transfers (like SEPA in the EU) when it comes to trading larger volumes in the long run, as Cash cannot easily be traced by adversaries unlike bank transfers, making Cash by Mail one of the most private ways to exchange real world money for Monero.

Let me know if there's anything i missed in that tutorial :)

In this tutorial we're going to cover an instant SEPA transfer (which is a bank transfer) transaction for monero, this is one of the most popular payment options in the EU region. Instant SEPA was a personal favorite of mine back on the now defunct Localmonero, mainly due to the speed of the transanction, the only requirement being that the other peer has a bank account that supports instant SEPA transfers.

check it out ;)

In this tutorial we're going to cover how the Haveno DEX handles trade disputes, which can happen as, after all it's decentralised, and anonymous by default.

https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-arbitrator/index.html

feel free to let me know if i should improve something in this one :)

 

In this tutorial I cover how to do a Fiat to Monero trade from the brand new (and long awaited!) Haveno Decentralised Exchange, using the Face-to-Face (F2F) payment method.

using the Haveno Reto Network, feel free to drop in some feedback if you think i can improve that tutorial :) https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-client-f2f/index.html
