Monero is untraceable if used correctly. Aleksanteri Kivimäki was not busted because of “Monero tracing”. I don’t believe anyone has, usually it is simple amount and timing analysis on the swaps in and out of Monero. If someone gets a 5000 XMR ransomware payment and a random guy suddenly deposits 5000 XMR into a centralized exchange, of course you can “trace” that but you are tracing metadata, not Monero itself. Monero is only one tool in the opsec belt.
Make sure your wallet is up-to-date and pick a trusted community remote node like:
Edit: Removed the kyun node. Apparently it’s not an official kyun node and ran by an anon.
It would greatly help if you would actually describe your project instead of having people search for your account on a different site.
Yes! That is possible, check out this guide. Pruned db is smaller but it will first do a full sync and then prune it so you still need enough storage for the “peak”.
Raspberries lack physical AES instructions, I am not exaggerating when I say this could take 5-6 weeks to sync. There are other SBCs like the Rockpro 64 that would be way better suited for a node but the most economical option is getting used mini-pcs from ebay for $50.
It will have high RAM usage because it is constantly writing and reading during sync.

We are temporarily suspending monero.town signups while this is live to prevent airdrop hunters from joining. Non-local comments containing an address will also be removed. Known community members can still DM me on matrix to get approved.
The DDoS comes from exit nodes via clearnet so Tor PoW doesn’t work, most likely there will be a total server migration at some point that adds tor support with pow and a tor friendly frontend.
I’ll have a look, thank you!
Is this on by default after v1.5.0?
I’ve looked into alexandrite and photon before but to be honest, the install is quite messy since I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. Makes it pretty hard to figure out how to properly set these up and I’d rather start over on a new server.
The site is still being attacked. Biggest issue is the lemmy-ui crashing under the load, the server itself could just about handle it. I’ve talked to Digilol who I’ll likely hire to move town to a new server and set up proper .onion support but the current server is still pre-paid for 200 more days and even after the move it’s still possible that the lemmy-ui would go down anyways :/
You can also do this with featherwallet, just get the download link from getmonero.org so you don’t click on the phishing site.
Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn’t want to connect without it.

If I understand your question right, I think you’re looking for the inverse cumulative distribution function (a.k.a. quantile function) of the Erlang distribution.
The random length of time to mine the next block has an exponential distribution with rate parameter 1/t. The length of time to mine n blocks has an Erlang distribution with shape parameter n and rate parameter 1/t.
The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution. The Erlang distribution’s shape parameter must be an integer, but the Gamma distribution’s shape parameter can be any positive real number. We can use the Gamma distribution if Erlang isn’t given to us by our calculator.
You would compute T in the R language with:
qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
The results of this simulation match the closed-form computation:
t <- 120
n <- 15
p <- 0.4
set.seed(314)
mining.times <- matrix(rexp(n * 100000, rate = 1/t), ncol = n)
mining.times <- rowSums(mining.times)
quantile(mining.times/n, probs = p)
qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
# Divide by n to get the mean instead of the total
Sometimes Trocador when I need to pay for something that doesn’t accept Monero. If you use the ref-link in the monero.town sidebar it also helps fund the site without swaps costing any extra!
Haveno-reto.com has plenty of links to different guides and most bisq documentation and principles carry over to haveno.
Decentralized reputation is not a thing. Every single approach can easily be gamed by scammers. Bisq2 requires people to buy thousands of $bsq for reputation.
I think your podcast link might be broken.
