Re-hypothecation … leading to a situation where multiple claims exist on the same Bitcoin holdings.

effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.

They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) – we’d need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren’t we supposed to be delisted from this scam?

that is too bad.

What do I do with them

Use Home -> Add friend to add IDs. Seems you have done this already with the monerohub ID. You need more friends. Hang in while your node is syncing with the network in the background. Forum “Monero Town” is most active.

:sad:

I am not in the business of rescuing the world. I you wanna do that, fine.

first you are wrong. and second, mobile users who dont read, dont research and post subito are of little help. Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus. Unfortunately there is an app for those.

We are now open. You’ll have to invest time to learn how it works. It is NOT another web app. And it looks ugly. You’ll have no fun and your ego will not be boosted.

BUT IT CANNOT BE TAKEN DOWN.

to get started with RetroShare d/l v 0.6.7 [emphasis: that is VERSION 0.6.7] [retroshare.cc/downloads][Appimage], start a Tor hidden node (when creating your ID use pull down menu: “Hidden node (over Tor)”) and add all the above IDs as friends: [friend requests may be pending 1-2 days]

If friend is online it takes +10 min until your node is integrated into the p2p net. Integration greatly improves with further uptime and by adding more friends. Be patient and hang in.

Here is a list of places to visit (after waiting a long time these can be found by typing “Monero” in the search bar):

• Monero Resources on RetroShare [Channel]

• Monero [Board]

• Monero Town [Board]

• Monero Mining [Board]

• Monero Memes [Board]

• Monero Town [Forum]

• Monero Memes [Channel]

• Monero Market [Channel]

• MoneroTown [Chat]

• Haveno [Chat]

• Retroshare [Chat]

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Trolls loose trust and therefore connections and can be banned/deleted on an individual level. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodes can be created.

Have Fun!

clean shutdown

RS needs to save sql databases on shutdown. Usually takes ~20s. RS posts to the console when complete. If killed by power-off db may be corrupted. Backup: ~/.retroshare contains all data (50-120MB)

The real issue is graph anal in social networks: You don’t want to store all graph info all the time on all nodes. I want only my friends to know who i am. That’s privacy. Technically RS can do that – but you’ll miss out on the fun factor.

problems:

• inherits full graph anal from BTC: but instead of money your complete private life is profiled

• dev tax of 5% (concealed in docs): this is a scam if the token rises in value

Requirements for running a full node:

• Your computer has at least 50 GB empty space on your SSD

• Your computer has at least 2 GB free RAM

• Your internet speed is at least 10 Mb/sec

Sounds reasonable. Anybody here to do this ?
