ask them why think gostcoin uses SAM rather than built-in i2pd?
orignal
snex no overlap because Spagni was complete idiot
orignal
furthemore they know for sure that we are not going to talk them
orignal
for the reason
orignal
thieves are always thieves
snex
u seem mad
orignal
me?
snex
ya
orignal
why?
snex
like something personal
orignal
no
orignal
everybody here knowns
snex
i know governments like to make shit up
orignal
that i2pd team will never work with monero guys
zzz
I asked them 'why you working for years to bundle a project that won't talk to you?' answer was 'well we made up last week'
orignal
government?
snex
yeah you are talking about being a thief and such
snex
who stole
orignal
Spagni did eveything to break all possible relationships for future
zzz
they are strangely clueless
orignal
snex that thief's name is Ricardo Spagni
snex
right what did he steal
orignal
but he was supported by the rest of the Monero team
orignal
i2pd
snex
??
orignal
that's what he was trying to do
orignal
starting claiming that i2pd is his while I was away for some personal reasons
orignal
forged invoices were much later
orignal
I think he has some personal mental problems
snex
being extradited will do that
orignal
anyway even if he is not in Monero anymore, the rest of Monero is the same
orignal
btw, does somebody has an idea where it comes from? github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/issues/2025
orignal
another efford to link aganst libi2pd
zzz
disagree, we've had positive experiences at their cons in last few years, everybody is very nice and sincere
zzz
fluffy is long gone
orignal
zzz,you but not we
orignal
what is this about? github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/issues/2034 ?
zzz
don't recognize the nick in 2025, but in 2034, 'preland' is the current guy trying to bundle, that I'm trying to get to switch to SAM. Don't recognize the others
snex
theres a lot of people out there doing work who dont join chats for either for whatever reason
orignal
yes I though that preland is one of Monero guys
orignal
based on the style of his post
zzz
but in particular I think he's one of the fringe guys, not one of the core
zzz
just a guess
orignal
I had to disagree with you, I don't see any positive changed in thier attitute since Spagni's departure
zzz
that's fine, just sharing my thoughts after several in-person meetings
orignal
snex and I intentinnaly saved the evidence in spearate branch github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/tree/cryptopp
zzz
and I think eyedeekay would agree or he wouldn't keep going back to their cons
orignal
maybe
orignal
I use monero wallet
orignal
but that's all
zzz
these coin communities are much much larger and more spread out than we are
orignal
i2p-zero is not that zlatinb proposed few years ago?
orignal
right, few people came from gostcoin community
zzz
similar to what became our easy-install bundle, yes, but I believe i2p-zero came first
zzz
iirc
orignal
I remeber they had an issue on github about this
orignal
found one
orignal
snex just for you
orignal
explains whole story in 2 words
zzz
what do I know, their code controls $3 billion in assets, we're over here playing in our sandbox
zzz
it might be that monero is the real thing and zcash are the clowns, not the other way around
snex
whatever you think about monero, zcash are definitely clowns
orignal
zcash?
orignal
what's with them?
orignal
i2p has completely different mission
zzz
lots of zcash drama but don't understand any of it
orignal
they use rust now. that's all I know
orignal
don't follow them
orignal
yggdrasil project is much close to our project than all cryptocurrencies
snex
transparent tx by default, tx fees go to devs, there was a big pre-mine
zzz
trying to both claim privacy and suck up to govts and exchanges, tough to do both
snex
pretty sure you need an asic to mine it
orignal
I think zzz has some personal things against zcash like me against monero
snex
just a standard scamcoin
orignal
str4d related
orignal
in my opinion, cyrptocurrencies is not main target for I2P
zzz
sure but independent of that they're trying to have it both ways, they just ran zooko out for some new guy
orignal
because the bottlneck of cyrptocurrencies is not traffic
zzz
sure but on the margins, coins can bring in a lot of users for us
orignal
but the way to exchange to fiat
snex
i2p should just be part of the kernel network stack. solve all these issues
orignal
Putin will do much for bringin people that all cryptocurrencies
zzz
the easiest way to grow the net is to get i2p support into apps. obviously we suck at marketing
orignal
I disagree, we are doing good
orignal
it depends on definition of "market"
snex
to get people on i2p, there has to be something here they cant get elsewhere
orignal
I2P works when evething else doesn't work
zzz
as tor always points out, a diverse user base is a strength
orignal
snex yes and that's what Putin is doing
zzz
each application brings in a different set of users
orignal
to push people oward I2P
snex
how has putin done that
orignal
by censorship
snex
secret good guy putin
orignal
Tor doesn't work. most VPNs
orignal
but I2P works withput any problems
snex
usa is doing it too. these retards voted to ban tiktok and "any site the president deems a threat"
orignal
tiktok morons didn't add proxy support
orignal
for years
orignal
unlike toelgram
orignal
telegram wants to fight with censorship
orignal
tiktok doesn't
orignal
my view of the sistuation
orignal
there is enough interest to i2p
orignal
but people disappointed from speed
snex
number 1 thing people ask me when i talk about i2p is "yeah but what can i do there?"
snex
and i dont really have a good answer
orignal
create a censorproof link
snex
normies cant create a clearnet link
orignal
it's not for sheeple
snex
maybe it should be
snex
they got a lot of bandwidth not being used
orignal
it's for people who provide service for sheeple
snex
but imagine if i told them "you can gamble with cryptocurrency without government spying on you"
orignal
they can also place a site they can't in clearnet
snex
or something similar
orignal
any smart person
snex
"you can do CP stuff" isnt a selling point to anybody i know
orignal
would ask "how I2P would help me to cash out cryptocurrency?"
snex
but i do know a lot of people who like gambling
orignal
why CP?
orignal
you can spead something negative against th govement
snex
also not a selling point where i live
orignal
see my animal.i2p
orignal
could it exists in clearnet?
orignal
without receiving multiple abuses a day?
snex
i see people say this stuff on clearnet
orignal
they do but not many sites
orignal
gambling is another story
orignal
I'm always wondering why there is no online casino yet
snex
nobody wants to trust custody in some shady darkweb casino, and its hard to run it without custody
snex
ive got some ideas on how it can be done, but its a lot of work and to make it worthwhile youd have to use javascript which again a lot of people here hate
not_bob
bet.i2p exists.
not_bob
It's mostly proof of concept, but it does work and I've used it.
snex
i feel like its too easy to do timing hacks when you bet on the blockhash
snex
monero.vegas (clearnet) will generate a random hash, encrypt it, send you the encrypted version, then XOR the hash with the incoming txid and send you the privkey of the encrypted hash along with the result
snex
but the backend stuff isnt the important part. whats important is slapping a frontend on it
snex
people want to see spinning wheels and flashing lights and shit
snex
or feel the rush of the next card being peeled
snex
i see they have a lottery on here.. thats new
snex
i mean at the bare minimum have a big "countdown to next drawing!"
not_bob
Yep, that's exactly what nwe need.
not_bob
Well, not need.
not_bob
But, it would be a fun toy.
snex
my idea was "moneroulette" where youd have a grid of hex values to pick various bets from
not_bob
What determines the end values?
not_bob
I like the idea of using some soft of outcome that can be verfied.
snex
so txid by itself can be gamed, so you have to combine it with something else, which is why monero.vegas does it how they do
not_bob
Hmm
snex
blockhash is fine for a lotto but for individual bets you dont want users to be waiting
not_bob
Yes, true.
not_bob
Alas, I'm off.
snex
cya
snex
id also like to see sports betting. at first you probably just want to mirror vegas odds but when volume goes up you can have auto moving lines which isnt hard
snex
this lotto also needs to not reveal current players lol. makes it way too easy to game by coming in at the last second and buying enough tickets to give you an edge
