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):

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)

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 ?
Psychopaths . You didnt read.
The control is statistical in nature. It is predictable that most ppl wont move to “selfhost or simply choose a different server”. Privacy of metadata (sooner or later users can be identified) is lost anyway. To prevent users from “selfhost or simply choose a different server” marketing is used addressing, again, a vulnerable part of population plus technical hurdles (design choice). A small number of ppl (you?) will always escape control and manipulation.
If ppl choose the statistically centralized type of federated platform they should at least be aware of the trade-offs. Convenience vs. privacy/blacklisting. If there are only a handfull servers all controlled by the same companies its not even federated, its a marketing gag.
As you “have no time to look deeper into this” we will end the discussion here.
simplex TOS:
We reserve the right to remove such links from the preset servers and disrupt the conversations that send illegal content via our servers, whether they were reported by the users or discovered by our team.
Poberezkin is DOA. Dont’t try to simplify your privacy by using federated platforms. You will be pawned.
I sent you a PM.
We already missed you. Where have you been 😂
works fine today. my inet cx is sometimes shaky, sometimes non-existent. i’ll come back later.
They claim it’s to thwart pedos and hate speech.
this looked like a chatroom [=meeting] but nobody there… or should i use it to send you a offline message ?

I loved it. Its one of the few alternatives to commercial swappers. .onion was under flooding (ddos) attack though. 2.2% slippage. The code is based on BSX (basic swap dex) AFAIK. Used small amounts. Else, Haveno recommended, but be prepared for higher slippage.

Edit: meeting time?
There is even a more political answer. To resist indoctrination the most powerful way is to organize. Organization is difficult even under best of circumstances these days. F2F networks may be an option.
I am actually glad you bring this up. You almost give the answer yourself, because RS is not a federated platform.
Thinking inside the dichotomy of censor-or-not i agree with you. But it is possible to step outside this box. In RS you don’t have one entity maintaining a blocklist, but every user maintains a whitelist of 25-50 friends. You wouldn’d accept a pedo as a friend, do you? And I suppose you wouldn’t want people of bad character to maintain a blocklist FOR YOU either.
It might be a new concept to some influenced by the current zeitgeist promoting antisocial behaviour that friendship must be earned. Avoiding this efford, taking the easy way out and delegating responsibility to a distant authority they have no vote in, however, makes people into a disconnected mass very much powerless.
RS might look retro, but under the hood enables democratic and trusted relationships which are under constant attack by social engineering these days. Imagine being locked down during the next virus and confined to reddit 24/7 and other “social” media. How would you feel about that?
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?
