For the last couple of days we were offline due to a DDoS attack originating from Tor.
We are now behind cloudflare (💀) but at least we are online.
We might switch to a different CDN in the future.

Monero turns 10 today! 🥳
The proposal for Generalized Bulletproofs Security Proofs is now open for funding on the Monero Community Crowdfunding System.
GBPs would be used to replace Monero's Ring Signatures with Full-chain membership proofs.
Let's get this funded ASAP!

Hello guys.
In about 50 days the 1 year hosting runs out for the current server. Fitting, since it has only a 100 GB disk that can't easily be expanded and we currently take up about 40 GB of that.
There will be an announcement post once everything has been prepared for the migration and I'll attempt to restore the entire instance on the new server. Ideally the instance should come back up after minimal downtime and all the content remains exactly like it was before.
Consider joining the matrix channel to stay up to date even while the site is potentially down :)
For some reason posts on our instance have recently gotten more downvotes from outside instances than usual and many posts look like this:
I personally don't like the idea of disabling downvotes but if the feature is mostly going to be used by outside users because crypto is "le bad" we might as well turn it off.
Since the old payment gateway kinda broke when we switched the hosting provider I’ve set up a new one :)
Please report if you encounter any issues. Since about a week ago, the monero payment gateway doesn't seem to work and while setting up and testing the site after the migration I've ran into the site not always loading but that could be related to DNS propagation and hopefully resolves itself in the next few hours.
To be honest, no idea what this entails. I was bullied into updating the instance and the official patchnotes are just all the github changes instead of a proper write-up 😂
Shoutout to the pict-rs dev asonix for helping me with the migration ♥
Server showed as online on the hosting provider dashboard but it wasn't responding. After contacting support, this was fixed at some point.
This led to a config file being reverted because of a setting I didn't change earlier which led to the page only showing "Server error."
Everything should work again and in the future that config file shouldn't change by itself anymore. I still have no idea what the problem on the providers side was, let's hope it doesn't happen again :P
There is a lot we can do but it might become a bit spammy if we add too much. Some ideas would be:
All of these feeds are of high quality and shouldn't completely spam us.
#### Edit: This doesn't seem to work that well, will be upgraded soon.

If this works as planned, this post should show up in the feed of https://monero.town/, a monero-focused Lemmy instance.
Comments made on either the reddit or Lemmy side don't get synced, just the post itself.
If you can see this post on .town, congratulations, you don't have to visit reddit anymore 🥳

This instance doesn't share its backend with monero.town, in fact, it runs on an entirely different (and way less reliable) server.
Edit: Subscriptions aren't working since remote instances don't know where to send their posts (doesn't work with onion addresses). This means that only manually searched posts actually show up, making the whole instance pretty useless ._.
You can still view monero.town and the rest of the fediverse through federation. You can either put communities into the searchbar and subscribe to them (Example ![email protected]) or put entire links to posts from other instances into it to make them show up here.
Since this instance is on Tor, it can federate inwards (pull content from other lemmy servers) but CAN'T federate outwards (interacting with posts on other servers). You can still comment and vote but only people on this instance will be able to see this. You are essentially siloed with a one-way window into the outside world.
For now, registration is open because I don't want to manage applications on two instances at once. Don't abuse this or it will be shut.

Here is the changelog.
This upgrade brings a ton of bugfixes and performance improvements.
It also broke the nice custom theme we had 😅 I'll try to iron this out but for the time being we will change back to a default theme.
