Without it my comment will not appear in the community. Lemmy does this automatically under the hood, but I use a different software (it is closer to a microblog than a forum).

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If you already have another coin, Trocador Swap is the easiest option (and you can get the best rates).
>Originally there was supposed to be 1 network, run by the engine council.
Yes, but then the devs decided to not take risk. That makes sense, and I don’t see why there shouldn’t be another network.
Fragmentation might negatively impact user experience, but it is not a huge problem, and it can be mitigated by implementing federation. I even suggested a possible architecture when federation was discussed in the matrix room.
1·3 months agoApparently the developer of Gupaxx is live-streaming on PeerTube:
@g2devi @XMRbutterfly @monero PoW doesn’t guarantee that wealth is deserved, because computing power can be bought too. It’s a bit harder to buy than tokens, but that doesn’t change the big picture.
Monero should stick to PoW, though, because it works. It didn’t work for Firo, apparently, so they had to change it, but I am not aware of any 51% attacks on Monero.
@rbrunner7 Nice explainer, thank you
@rafael_xmr @monero This app connects to 30 clearnet domains and all images are stored on nostr.build.
@lionroe Sounds complicated, and the biggest flaw of OpenBazaar still remains: the lack of web client. We discuss this article because it is available on the web. Lemmy and other Fediverse apps are successful because they have web clients.
Why not start with existing federated software like flohmarkt? Make it federate over Tor (maybe it already does). That would solve the hardest problem, discovery. Other features can be added later.
Vendors will host everything themselves, so there is no need for any incentive model.
@nihilist @monero Consider the following situations:
- Bob and Arbitrator are colluding against Alice
- Bob and Arbitrator are the same personI think this system needs a higher authority to function properly. And there’s a simple non-technical solution to this problem. If you don’t agree with Arbitrator’s ruling, you make the case public and provide proofs. As a result, Arbitrator’s reputation is destroyed.
Someone can even create a rating service similar to @kycnotme that will list arbitrators with good reputation
Yes.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub
It is currently being tested at SocialHub (though only selected topics are federated,
@feps@socialhub.activitypub.rocksand a couple of others)
@OrangeFren @monero Activity in Lemmy network might have subsided since the Reddit Migration, but it is certainly not dying. Today there are 768 instances with the largest one having 18469 MAUs.
The important thing about federation is that there is no downside. You get a regular forum with all benefits of a self-hosting, but now people don’t have to register on it in order to participate. For example, monero.town currently has 83 MAUs, and you can access that audience for free simply by using a different software.
I previously mentioned Discourse, which has a federation plugin, but it is not the only forum engine to choose from. NodeBB is working on federation (almost finished), and Flarum too. These engines will be fully interoperable with Lemmy, and partially with micro-blogging apps like Mastodon and Threads.
So, yeah, you’re right about this being an uncharted territory, but I see a lot of potential here
@OrangeFren @monero Why make a non-federated forum? You can run a Lemmy or a Discourse instance, and let people from monero.town and beyond participate in discussions. Otherwise there won’t be much activity
>There is no social media using tipping as piconeros
There is, I’m using it right now. Try to click on the “fediverse” icon near my comment, and on my site you’ll see a donation button.
>looking for opinions and discussion of this could be done in Monero.town
The easiest way is to convince Lemmy devs to implement profile fields: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2411
After that you can add a machine readable XMR address to your profile
@DisgracedDoctor @monero @monerobull I think this is because monero today is a boring tool that just works. The community calmed down and many activists/shills moved to greener pastures. This is probably a good thing
If you want more activity in fediverse, you can try to get micro-blogging sector going. There are many people who are interested in monero but no organization. I’ve seen a couple of accounts run by projects which mostly cross-post from twitter and do not engage with audience. No follow lists. We had a xmrposter Pleroma instance, but it was shut down.
